KNIGHTS HAD FINE TIME AT BANQUET

Anniversary Dinner and Initiation Brought About One Hundred Members of Order Together. f ™ The Knights of Pythias bad a fine time at the anniversary banquet' in the armory Tuesday evening when about one hundred of them gathere'd together and partook of a fine slipper served by the Pythian Sisters. When the supper was over Chancellor Commander Davenport made a short talk and called upon several others, and E. L. Hamilton and Rev. W. G.-WirtU made short speeches. Rex Warner invited all of the banqueters to attend the first show at his theatre, as a treat from him, and all did so. They then proceeded to the lodge room, where the rank of Knight was given to three candidates. -T3»«r degree team is said to be in the best working condition it has been in many years and a visiting Knight said he never saw the work given in so able a manner. Following the initiation considerable time was devoted to the “good of the order” and about every one had something good to say. It was one of the most pleasant lodge occasions the Knights have ever had.
