Grand Exalted Ruler Attends Home-Coming of Aberdeen (S. Dak.) Lodge

The annual "Homecoming" of Aberdeen (S. Dak.) Lodge, No. 1046, was a gala event at which Grand Exalted Ruler James G. McFarland and Grand Secretary Fred C. Robinson were the guests of honor. There was an initiation of a large class of candidates, a concert by the famous male chorus of Minneapolis (Minn.) Lodge, No. 44, a street parade, a banquet and a dance. Following the initiation, which was held in the Orpheum Theatre to accommodate the large audience, Mr. McFarland delivered a spirited address on the tenets of Americanization which was enthusiastically received. One hundred members of Watertown (S. Dak.) Lodge, No. 838, of which Mr. McFar land is a member, came to Aberdeen with him, accompanied by their band. All in all the "Homecoming" was one of the most successful and delightful events in the history of the Lodge.
