agement of_ the business affairs of the

present.
Chairman W. A. Kimmel of the com
mittee OH class initiation has appointed
Fred D. Wallace of Franklin Lodge,
No. H at a member of that committee,
vice S. T. Neal, resigned. James M.
Kline of Mount Vernon Lodge, No- 5,
has also been added to the committee.
The committee on publicity has about
completed the compilation of a sixteen
page booklet which will be distributed
among the several lodges, for the pur
pose of aiding the membership in secur
ing new applications for the class initia
tion planned in connection with the jubi
lee.
The committee on receptlou and enter
tainment lias plans well under way for
programs of an entertaining character at
Pythian Temple during the entire time of
the Jubilee.
The committee on registration will have
representatives both at Pythian Temple
and Wlllard Hotel, which will be Supreme
Lodge headquarters, to secure the regis
ter of every member of the order who at
tends the jubilee.
The proposition * to* secure a'large class !
for initiation at the jubilee, as well as'
tlnancial plans, are said to.be meeting;
with the hearty approval of the subordi
nate lodges as fast as they can be pre- j
sented. The committees in charge of
these features have visited seven of the
eighteen lodges in the domain so far, all
of which, it is said, have given unanimous
support to the plans proposed

ed. to fill the unexpired term of James D.
Rowen. who has resigned.

convention took active steps toward per
fecting plans for the golden jub'lee class
Initiation. Two competitive teams were
selected, headed by the chancellor com
mander and vice chancellor, respectively,
and including all the members of the
lodge divided equally. The friendly
rivalry thus started, it is sjtid, bids fair
to arouse keen competition, 'inasmuch as j
the team securing the least number of
applications must act as host to the
lodge at the first meeting in March, 1914.

meeting at its last convention. at which
? there was a large attendance and several

thusiasm in the coming celebration of

Many of the grand domains have set
aside funds to send representatives here,
while numerous subordinate lodges have
formed golden jubilee clubs, the members
of which contribute a fixed sum weekly
for the purpose of defraying tlielr ex
penses. Prospects are said to be good
for the attendance of many thousand
members of the order as well as their
families.

for the purpose of entering into a compe
tition to see which side can procure the
most, new material during t^e winter. The
Temple will also hold a rummage sale at
the usual place on 7th street this week,

the last meeting was a chestnut hunt ar
ranged by Mr. and Mrs. Freeman, who
have planned to continue a series of en
tertainments through the next two
months. A "pumpkin festival." it is
thought, will be the next attraction, to be
followed by a "corn contest," and what

the prize at the "chestnut hunt."
