WOODMEN OF THE WORLD
,;•- .. .
Attention is just now
centered upon the coming
visit of the head . consul
April 5, and the boosting
committee, '< composed of
representatives I from all
of the city camps, is tak
ing the matter In charge.
It has been decided to make this meet
ing an application to make this meet
an application night, and for that
purpose an open meeting for men will
be held. A large hall will be secured
and a suitable program arranged. Head
Consul Boak will, of course, deliver the
principal address and Organizer Stretch
will speak on the results of the cam
paign. It has been a whole year now
since the head consul has visited Los
Angeles, and as the head of the order
he will receive a fitting reception. Head
Adviser Veale and Organizer Martin
will doubtless be present,
I Organizer Stretch is entitled to more
than passing observation for the splen
did work that' he is doing. He seems
to fit into the niche and everyone has
a kind word for him and is willing to
help ' him, for he has^ssured all the
members in this section that he will
not resort to measures so frequently
adopted by some organizers and that
he is working for Woodcraft solely for
the sake of Woodcraft and for its ad
vancement.
Tomorrow night La Fiesta camp will
have a large class of candidates, and a
big crowd is expected, as some addi
tional side degree work will be Intro
duced for the first time. The members
are beginning to realize that the camp
room on Monday, hight is one of the
most attractive of places, and many
visiting neighbors are Impelled to at
tend because of the good times usually
had. I Sleight of hand performer, Neigh
bor > Pritchard of Haven camp, is al
most sure to be in attendance, and to
miss him is to miss a big bunch of fun.
> Compton camp entertained the boost
ing committee last Thursday night, and
the speeches and good cheer made the
welkin ring In the camp. It was quite
an enthusiastic meeting, and Neighbor
James was elected adviser lieutenant
and Neighbor Barlow of Los Angeles
installed him on the spot. This camp
lias requested the organizer to devote
two or three days to it and has prom
ised several applications.
: Azusa camp will entertain the offi
cers and' team of La Fiesta camp on
Monday, March 15, when a special car
will be engaged to carry the neighbors.
This will bo the first meeting of Azusa
camp in its new hall, and a large class
of (candidates will be initiated by the
visiting team in honor of the occasion.
Clerk Eldred of Azusa camp is devot
ing his energies to making the meeting
a • success. , La \ Fiesta camp has . done
yeoman • service in the past, as various
small camps In the outlying sections
can attest, and this Is another occasion
when the large camp is glad to go to
the assistance of one of the smaller
ones. Every ; camp »in the > city * will
doubtless send • a representation. - The
boys at Azusa are enthusiastic and
Jolly, < and a big ,• meeting is promised.
The visiting camp will -furnish ! some
talent from Los Angeles. ; ,• ■•■;»"
East Lake camp had six applications
last Monday - night and . two initiates,

oughly organized, and It Is out to win

whenever possible rather than to sub

Honored Official of the
Guards of Royal Court
WILLIAM E. RIGGS, LIEUTENANT GENERAL ROYAL COURT GUARDS
WHILE holding the commission of
lieutenant general of the Royal
Guards of the Royal Court,
William E. Rlggs Is more widely
known under the title of captain, and
it ia the latter title that has brought
him more honors than any other. The
pride of the "captain" is Company D,
Royal Guards, which was organized
about a year ago, and today is one of
the best drilled companies on the
coast. Los Angeles assembly Is justly
proud of its guards, and their appear
ance on the floor in natty scarlet
tunics, hussar caps and carrying out
the colors of the order ia always a
signal for applauso of tho wildest sort.
Covering a period of five years, drilling
many teama for different orders in Los
Angeles, always successful in putting
winning teams on the floor, both for
exhibition and In competition, the
guards of company B are the result of
the "captain's" experience, and It Is
the opinion of many experts who have
seen them drill that there are few, If
any, companies of guards that could
win over them in competition. Pico
assembly is organizing a company, and
as Courtier Rlggs is a member of that
assembly, he will get them ready for
work. , •
Tho meeting of Pico assembly, No. 8,
on last Tuesday evening was one of
the largest attended ever held by that
assembly. Over sixty per cent of
the members were present. The meet
ing in the new hall probably contrib
uted In a great measure to the success
of the evening. Past Chancellor Bruce
Rice was expected home, but did not
reach Los Angeles until later In the
week. A committee consisting of
Courtier C. Cecil Loomis and Ladles
Talbot-Winship, Gress, Brown and
Moll were appointed to arrange for the
open meeting on March 22. Something
out of the ordinary will be arranged
by the committee and tho members ara
requested to see that all their friends
are notified.

Neighbor Burgess admonished the
members to look well to the work this

with grim determination to secure the

camp, responded in behalf of the camp
and promised that the present year

In the active enthusiasm of the mem
bers of Golden State camp No. 7110,
M. W. A., and that without doubt the
banner would have a permanent
home on the walls of the camp that
first held It.
The deputy, J. A. Herbelln, and the
clerk have been holding some star
chamber sessions lately, and it is said
they are about to hatch out a scheme
to start a membership campaign in the
near future. They are not giving away
any secrets as yet, but it is said that
they will spring a surprise within th-J
next few weeks. This may mean for
every member of No. 7110 to sit up and
take notice and get ready to do some
thing.
The workmen are getting the floor
of the hall into fine shape and by the
next open meeting of the camp it
will be in as good condition as any floor
in the city. The board of managers
made the selection of a very fine piano

To those voters In the city of Los

they should do in this recall campaign
a good suggestion would be that they
call on the deputy and ho will soon
prove jto them that they" should be
Modern Woodmen and end all doubt by
taking their applications (and the fees)
for membership In the order. If in
doubt don't overlook. this opportunity
to get a proper understanding of
things.
Consul McLaughlin says he doesn't
care If they did lose the banner.
Others say -the same thing, and then
make a face as though they had bit
into a green persimmon. Look out for
the fellows who "don't care." they will
be after that banner; and if you don't
look out. they will get it, too.
The California State banner which
had been won from Golden State camp,
but which had been won back again,
has dropped into poetical effusions
which are quite pleasing to the proud
winners of the much coveted trophy.
The banner puts on a cheerful front
and gives some good advice as follows:
Well, I've come back home, boys, I've been
pome time away;
But If you'll Bet In and work, boys, I've come
back home to stay.

You'll get In and hustle, boys, for every man

some wonderful feats.

The Guaranteed I
Electric Iron 1
Of all the modern devices for the housewife's convenience and B
comfort the electric iron is one of the most important. It u
makes the drudgery of ironing day a thing of the past. It n
saves half of the labor and permits one to remain at the iron- 8
ing board and easily finish the day's work at an earlier hour I
with no running about and loss of energy. No hot stove to H
keep the room overheated. We have taken control of the best g
electric iron made. ||
It's known as the "Guaranty", electric iron. A signed guar- I
antee goes with every one. The Guaranty iron is cast in one H
piece—no joints to loosen, waste heat or catch in the fabric, if
These irons contain no asbestos or wire therefore with no H
asbestos (which absorbs moisture) there is nothing that can g
rust out the iron. With reasonable care the Guaranty Electric H
Iron will never wear out. The Guaranty Electric Flat Iron is B
most economical in use. The cost is low and only a little cur- M
rent is needed at the time the heat is desired. Price $5. Ab- ■
solutely guaranteed for one year. f|
Before you order an electric iron see the Guaranty. It's the ||
best of all. ■< B
