Chief Ranger John Murphy and his associates have put in a lot of time in the building up of the organi- zation and the success which at- tended their efforts exceeds their most sanguine expectations. At last night’'s meeting the members re- ceived the congratulations of other courts which were working to get the Shailer degree team. They admitted that they had to bow to Plainville despite the fact that they had a much wider field to labor in Ten applications for membership were presented at the session and three candidates were initiated.

In most of these countries many labor- ers had gone to the battlefields, the rearing rooms were requisitioned for military purposes and the mulberry plantation trodden by the soldiery.
