YV. Eakins. G. H. Hatch and George G. Gai ter, were given our protection degree, : the work belni? exemplified in a highly appreciated manner by our capiain and his newlv drilled team of eighteen choppers.

Neighbors 1 do not forget March 12 the biggest night of 1918. Come and let us show our execu- i tive we are a bunch of live choppers. Through, the resignation of our faith- ful correspondent, Lausen, who was com- ; pelled to resign owing to increased traffic j in business, Council Commander K. C. , Allen was elected to fill the vacancy, I Neighbor Alien being connected with the1 Telephone company and correspondent for their Monitor. This being the fact, ; our new correspondent ought to make a good one. As a rule, people with a Tele- i phone company are interested in talking, j thereby gathering considerable news. i There are quite a number of neighbors neigh-bors who have not brought in an application appli-cation since our campaign started, and i It is hoped by the officers that the neighbors neigh-bors will do their part and help secure first and second prizes. It's about time that some of the old stage and war horses felt their oats and again got in the harness and helped pull the load. The big show window at Keith-O'Brien store is a beauty, showing the forest and the home of the chopper. Many lessons of . interest can he learned by a visit, where explanations of woodcraft will be explained by our district manager, R, Runzell. The silver trophy is a beauty, and- the camp that wins this prize will have something to be proud of. Everybody Every-body visit this store to see the beautiful beauti-ful scenery of t,he forest and rippling streams dashing among the rocks in the mountains, which is a typical way of demonstrating' the benefits of our society and showing our cabin. The- committee deserves great credit for this form of ad- . vertising woodcraft. Si eh neighbors were reported as fol- : lows: George Cramer, camp 33S; Neigh- bor Johnson, camp 53; Neighbor Kilburn, , camp 53; Neighbor Tarbaugh, camp 53; Neighbor Krn Sunderland's daughter, c amp 53.

Now, neighbors, once more lest we forget for-get -don't fail to attend meetings, visiting visit-ing head council and dances come. Deserct camp 406 convened last Thursday Thurs-day evening with a very large attendance, and much interest was manifested in the ! solution of several problems of business ! that were presented.

We hope a large number of our members will meet at S o'clock sharp at the Eagles' Ea-gles' clu broom and go into the hall in a body. Let us give our chief a hearty welcome. The joint committees have provided pro-vided a good entertainment and refreshments, refresh-ments, and all are welcome.

Great Salt Lake Camp. No. 10071, M. W. A., has received notice from W. S, He Moulin of Greenville, III., to the' effect ef-fect that one of the French orphans 1ms been assigned to the care of the camp. This youngster, Lucieu Greasier, ) P.ue Battez, Le Portal, France, is seven yearn old and will he cared for by this camp until the termination of the war. The French government makes an allowance al-lowance lor each child, so together with the amount sent across by those chari- 1 tably inclined, the liltle ones are assured as-sured of as good care as is possible under the appalling conditions. Neighbor De Moulin is treasurer of the Modern Woodmen of America Fi ench War Orphan fund, and states that the society is respond ing nobly to the call from the saddened homes of Fiance, where thousands of innocent children have been deprived of the breadwinner through German avarice and face actual destitution destitu-tion unless assistance is forthcoming, from this country. This is a worthy cause, and no doubt ! the adoption by this society and indi--vidua members will mount into the thousands thou-sands soon. Plans are being formulated for a dance and oyster supper, lo take piuee in the near future. Committees are at work, and as soon as the date is determined upon it will he announced in the daily papers. It has been customary to hold those affairs at frequent intervals in the past and they proved so successful that ' it acts as an incentive for. further 'en- j deavor. The membership contest is moving along, but many of the slacker members are shirking their duty. They should i bear in mind that if all were as inclined to throw the responsibility upon others as they are doing the camp would go by ; the wayside, so get busy and assist with ; the transaction of the camp's .business, ; as matters of vital interest to each mem- i her are about to come up. so don't feel dissatisfied with results if vou are not ; present at the time of discussion.
