Don t Forget

1.-THE secretary forgot to send
the weekly notice to the frater-
nal editor, and attendance at
lodge meeting was cut in half"
So said regretful member
Of a certain lodge recently.
His secretary had sent no
tees of meetings and other &C
tivities to the fraternal editor
at The indianapolis Times
every week for several months.
The members have become
accustomed to reading of their
orders activities on the lodge
page.
And then one week the Sec
rotary neglected to send the
news item. Members relied on
The Times for their announce
ments, and through the Sec
retary's error thought there
was to be no meeting.
Don't let this happen to
YOU. Mr.. Secretary. Send
your news items of interest to
members every week.
Thousands of lodge members
read The Times fraternal page
every Monday.
Take advantage of our offer.
Mail news items to reach the
