to The Star.)
The Supreme Lodge of The
Knights and Ladle3 of Harmony of the
World convened Us socond annual
mooting In this city Tnursday Aug. 27
with a largo delegation in attendance
from the surrounding states. Much
legislation was enacted for the benefit
and the guidance of the order and
much enthusiasm wub manifested In
tho work by those present.
Supreme Protector G. W. Tolks of
Memphis was detained at his home on
account of Illness and In his absence
Vice Supreme Protector Edward L.
Gibson of this city presided.
The order In the Lone Star State was
well represented at this meeting and
they tho delegates have served notice
that Texas will meet tho next Supreme
Lodge in full force.
Oklahomas Interest was well repre-
sented by that real Knight Sir H. T.
Hutton of Sapulpa who was re-elected
to tho office of Supreme Secretary
by acclamation. Mr. Hutton was tho
only Oklahoman who succeeded him-
self but several other men from that
state were elected to office. G. W. P.
Brown a prominent lawyer of Musko-
geo was elected Supreme Attorney for
the order succeeding Freeman L. Mar-
tin of Tulsa J. H. Goodwin a Tulsa
man was elected Supremo Trustee
succeeedlng Rev. T. W. Kldd of Mus-
kogee. Prof. Edward L. Gibson of Waxaha-
chla a highly educated young man was
elected Supreme Protector. Tho elec-
tion of Prof. Gibson to this important
position will doubtless mean much to
the order as be is generally admitted
to bo a real live wire In the fraternal
business of tho Lone Star State. He
has a wide acquaintance in Texas and
is now Grand Protector of tho order In
hla state. With such men as Prof.
Gibson and Sir Hutton at tho helm the
order can not fall to advance to tho
highest point of efficiency.
Tho Tulsa Star was adopted as tho
offlclal organ of tho Supremo Lodgo by
tho unanmous vote of tho body. This
was done In order to keep the work
of tho ordor before the punllc and to
Insure Its success. A complete list of
tho Supremo offices and their post-
offices will be furnished tho Tulsa Star
In time to appear in tho next Issue.
Tho clttlzens of Waxahachla and tho
Grand Lodgo of Texas spared neither
time nor money to make tho repre-
sentatives and visitors fedl at home.

Lodge will bo hold in Oklahoma In
1915 at Somo place to be decided by
the Grand Lodgo of Oklahoma.
