( We were fortunate In having a "live". candidate on this occasion and tho new officers put on tho work bettor bet-tor than it had ever been put on before be-fore in this camp, which seemed to bo highly appreciated by tho visiting members, who had made this visit mainly to see the work of tho now ritual exemplified. Under tho head of 'social entertainment" enter-tainment" nil present were invited to the dining room where the committee had prcpnred a banquet, which was enjoyed by everyone after which speeches were heard from all visiting members nnd also from some of our own members, several speaking along tho lines of the great growth of our society so-ciety lu general during the last vear, there having been written 103,238 new certificates during the year 1910, also of the great work that is being done at the Modern Woodmen Sanatorium at Colorado Springs, Colo., In the way of snving- the lives of many of our members who are afflicted with tuberculosis. tuber-culosis. Utah Camp, hnving adopted more membors during the year 1910 thnn any other camp in the state, was declared de-clared to ho the winner of the Prlzo State Banner, which was held last year by Excelsior Camp, Salt Lake. As wo havo just purchased a new camp banner which was designed and made by Chief Forrester Coppock, we oxpect to have on exhibition In Eagle's hall two of the finest lodge banners in the state. Our camp Is experiencing a decidedly decid-edly healthy growth since Jan. 1st, having added over 30 members to tho roster. If wo keen our shoulders to tho wheel for the balance of the year we will need not fear losing tho prize banner next year. It ig with sadness that we announce the death of ono of tho charter membors mem-bors of this camp, Neighbor Joseph A Carsewell, who died at Cove, Utah, and was buried horo Feb. 15th. Neighbor Neigh-bor Carcswell always remembered his obligation in regard to paying his assessments as-sessments and dues promptly and In due course of time his beneficiary will receive tho amount which his certificate certifi-cate calls for .which we trust will come to hpr as a ray of sunsnlne in her hour of bereavemont The Joint card party and dance which was given by the Modorn Woodmen Wood-men and Royal Neighbors on Jan. 31st proved to bo a success both socially and financially, and ns the requests for us to give another have been many, we oxpect to arrange for nn-othor nn-othor In tho near future, watch the papers for date.
