Tonight there will be given at the
Arctic Brotherhood hall, what is term
ed a reciprocity smoker. The smoker
is given tonight rather than tomorrow
night because tonight is the ninth an
niversary of the birth of the order
which now forms so large a share in
the life of the people of the north. It
Is to be a notable affair in many ways
in rdditioo, of course, to the character
of the gentlemen who will do the
smoking. It is being tendered to the
camp by the winners of the late mem
bership contest which so stirred the
camp and the town. The catup was the
guest on a former occasion of the los*
era in that contest and, of course, try
as they would to be cheerful, the fact
that they bad not only 1 st in the game
but were now eating the crow, made
the ho -is more or less mournful as
entertainers. Here there is not only
that exultation of the winner but the
joy of doli g the handsome thing. There
will be a full turnout of course.
