places notably at Springville and Heber City in Utah have marked the week just passed Many new applications during that time will result in a material increase of the Rocky mountain membership in the near future F A Taylor of Montana will soon take charge of the state of Idaho as state deputy and as the sir knight has made an enviable record as an organizer I organ-izer under the general direction of Sir Knight Newell of his state the work I in the state of Idaho will be in good I j hands and much is expected in the way of advancing the order in that mountain state A special effort will soon be made to spread the order within the state of Nevada All towns on the line of the Southern Pacific within the state will doubtless be visited by deputies during the winter now upon us and by the early

151 Fraternal union met last Monday The officers must have felt flattered at the large number present for it is a wellknown rule that with poor or unpopular officers of-ficers of a lodge in power the members stay away from the meetings The hal was filled in fact the attendance I is so phenomenal at each meeting that the lodge took action to secure a larger meeting place commencing with Jan 1 1898 I After this month the order will return re-turn to the Odd Fellows temple and meet in the large hal on the second floor The advantage to the lodge is recognized when it is stated that there is every convenience for a large assemblage as-semblage supper room and all conveniences con-veniences connected therewith ample space when an entertainment is given and nearness to street cars in every direction A large number of members were initiated Monday and seemed especially espec-ially gratified at their entrance into the order The insurance features are such that all members are anxious to secure all they can as in addition to I the protection to their little ones it I also provides accident benefits to the insured without extra cost Tonight I another large number will be initiated 000 While not receiving as large accessions acces-sions to the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic as many of its sanguine san-guine members predicted for the past year there has been quite an increase in the rolls of McKean and Maxwell posts showing that some of the comrades com-rades have been zealously working for that object and i is estimated that the increase during the coming year will be far greater than that of any previous year Many of the comrades I who are locating h Salt Lake City and I vicinity have indicated that as they I make their homes here they will identify iden-tify themselves with one or the other I of these posts of which determination the Salt Lake comrades should not allow al-low themselves to fail in carrying out This evening will be an Important I one for James B McKean post as the annual election of post officers and representatives to the sixteenth department de-partment encampment will be held and in order to meet with success the officers of-ficers who will be elected to conduct its allairs the comIng year should be active ac-tive energetic comrades who will I make personal sacrifices that the post may prosper and that such shall bs assured the presence of every member will be necessary this evening > < j > < i > Why is it that so many Odd Fellows fail to attend lodge There is a cause or perhaps many causes for this One of the causes is the lack of attention to the social side I you read the various articles which are written if you listen to the various vari-ous addresses which are made in the different lodge rooms you will find they all bear one refrainthey are all pregnant with the same spirit work We hear work we see work we talk work until the very air Is permeated with it and even breathing I becomes laborious Does the conduct of the business of our lodges and the I general welfare and advancement of the order require incessant and unremitting i un-remitting work Is it necessary for our material advancement to labor incessantly I cessantly Many will answer without with-out hesitation i is Granted But does work include merely the conferring I confer-ring of degrees In our judgment we have paid and are paying too little attention to the social side of our work No person in a position to know will deny that the attendance at the Rebekah lodges is much better than at the subordinates They pay a great deal of attention to the social I functions and they mingle business and pleasure gaiety and gravity and the result is better attendance better results greater social enjoyment and more and better workMan work-Man is a social animal He requires re-quires and will have relaxation and I if we can furnish it to him in the Icdtro room we will secure his presence and i if we cannot he will seek it elsewhere j I I is not sufficient to say the order is I not a vast social club that it is not I designed to furnish amusement True but it is designed to promote the welfare wel-fare of its member socially morally and intellectually intelectualy Have them as often as possibleonce a month at least and you will find that not only Avill your attendance be bet i tel but you will be surprised how I much latent energy and Intellect had i lain dormant in your lodge undeveloped unde-veloped for lack of opportunityJ B Armstrong Buffalo N Y 0 0 1 The session of the grand lodge of 1 Ollivets held at
