The Daughters held their first
meeting in the Home on Friday
last, and Exalted Ruler Gus West,
who knows exactly what to do to
make everyone feel at home, play
ed the perfect host. He had COM
mittee on hand to welcome the fair
Daughters to the Castle on the
Hill. He and Bro. John o. Lewis,
District Deputy sent flowers as a
token of welcome. Many fine i'm
promptu speeches were made by
both members of the committee
and Evergreen Temple. Brothers
Harley and Jordan, old timers re-
marked it looked like the old times
to have the Daughters back again,
memories were stirred and many
eyes were moist. Daughter Helen
Leftridge, Daughter Ruler left her
sick bed to preside at the auspi-
cious occasion. Daughter Nellie Nc
Cullough, District Deputy, also left
the confines of her home where
illness had detained her, in order
to be present.
Finally got down to the Barn
dance. Well the whole town is
talking about the barn dance, and
the Caravan to Baltimore.
Lots of surprises are in store
for the guests - good music,
and prizes . all for 25c j.. We
wondered how it could raise any
money at such low admission, but
the brothers and sisters assure us
that great numbers will overcome
the reasonable charge Many
people are coming and not wearing
costume, but there will be a lot
competing for the prizes.
Keep your eyes open for the
second of the series of entertain
ments to send the caravan to Bal
timore and really represent the
Great Northwest. 1t will be some

at this time.
Last week a holding committee
was formed to incorporate the

ment of the home. About twenty
five brothers have joined, and more
have pledged, and will join soon.

date this money is returnable if
the brothers so desire. Brother E.
R. Chainey is chairman; Brother
