Ing a visit by the grand chancellor accompanied by otner grand lodge officers, of-ficers, and visitors and the conferring of the rank of knight on two esquires who sought the "golden spur". The work was exceedingly well done by the team consisting of the members or the grand lodge, visitors, and members mem-bers of the local lodge. Pythagoras skillfully conducted them through the verdant meads-and along the mountain moun-tain side and through bog and fen, and finally landed them at the portals of knighthood which all must enter who desire the . highest honors In Pythianism. ; Under the head of good of the order the session was given over to the grand lodge officers.. The grand chancellor chan-cellor In his report showed the order to be in a healthy condition, that In spite of the war the membership, had increased and the members in the grand domain of Utah had bought Liberty Lib-erty bonds and had contributed to the various war funds the sum of nearly half a million dollars. Supreme Representative S. X. Randolph Ran-dolph made a most eloquent, appoal for the IX. O. K. K the Shrlners degree, de-gree, of the K. of 'P. and" stated that at the meeting of the grand lodge in .May 20 or more tyros would be escorted across the burning sands, and that it i would be the greatest time in the his-tory his-tory of the grand lodge of the grand domain of Utah. He explained In per- ' suastve yet . forceful language the benefits to be derived from th D. O. K. K. and urged that Oquirrh end a delegation. As an extra inducement induce-ment to E. G. ILocke he stated that if E, G. would Join he would guarantee-that guarantee-that by the time he got across the burning Sahara he would have a crop of hair that would cover his shlniuc -dome (B, G. is seriously considering the offer.) . . (Past Supreme Representative R. If. Standish easily upheld, his reputation, as an orator and a walking encyclopedia encyclope-dia on iPythianlsm. He ' Bhown forth, i ' . In all of his pristine glory and ao -quitted himself in a manner that' brought honor to the order and credit . to himself. After the regular session of the -lodge all adjourned to the banquet ball, where the committee, under the tutelage of Caterer Standish had prepared pre-pared an appetizing lunch, after which the fragrant aroma of the famed Alberta Al-berta cigar was Inhaled and exhaled! and witty talk indulged in. The affair broke up about 12:30 and all dVparteil feeling that It had been an eveniug . pleasantly and profitably spent ami marked an epoch in the hintory of the local lodge. Among those present were Supreme Representative S. N. Randolph, Grand Chancellor L. A. Jac- obson. Grand Vice Chancellor James -Terry Jr., Grand ' Prelate iWilliam I Water. Grand Outer Guard 8.

(and the other knights. It Is ' rumored that many of the knlghta are reluctant to occupy the ;anie rootu with ;11..;P. Juiuixoii oi count of his snoring proclivities. The English language Is inadequate to ec- -press It. It ranges all the way from hlph soprano to basso profundo. It is related that one time he was Htopplngy i at. hotel, and along In the night the- (other guests were awakened by what they thought to be a terrific thunder-storm, and all rushed to the windows? but the night was clear und calm. But (he deep reverberations continued to1 shako the hotel so an investigation , was made and tbe noise wa found to ' emlnate from room 2:!, which was 0(S . cupled by Past Supreme Representative Representa-tive Johnson. He Is no longer permitted per-mitted to register at 'that hotel.

' Knight Dean Is still Interned It Is rather hard on J. T.. and daily he canr be seen pacing up and down his pre scribed befit, like a caged lion. But they say he has not snent his time- tdlv as h's fertile mind has conceived' a new batch of stories that will eclipse- , the wildest imagination of fflaron Man-chusen Man-chusen anil Decameron of boccacclo. When this news renches the public and "Jack" again assumes his role as master barber in his tonsorlal parlors there will, no doubt, be such a rush to. . hoar these wonderful tales that the police po-lice reserves will have to be called out to nreservA order.
