Hoo Hoo Annual to Open Officially ' , Sept. 9th, Then Adjourn to Sept. 28,29 and 30

The Thirty-fifth Hoo-Hoo Annual, to be held in Kansas City, Mo., will be officially opened at nine minutes after nine o'clock on the morning of Sept. 9th, in accord with the traditions of the Order, and adjourned to Sept. 8, P and 30.

- Postponement of the actual sessions was consented to by the,Supreme Nine when developments in Kansas City made such a move advisable.

Ol" of the things prompting the postponement was the inability to have several important organizations that have been_invited to cooperate in the Annual, arrange their dates for September 8, 9 and 10, the traditional da-tes for HooHoo Annuals.

Another reason is that a number of Kansas City's most prominent lumbermen, who are actively identified wittr the arrangements for the Annual, will be out of the city for some time.in advance of September 9th, and on that'date.

. M. M. Biner, general chairman of arrangements for the Annual, advised the Supreme Nine that Kansas City would .make the Annual the greatest in Hoo-Hoo histoiy, from .the standpoint of both attendance and'interest, if tlie postponement were permitted.

'Consent was given by the Supreme Nine with the un- .derstanding.that the meeting be officially opened on Sep- tember 9th, in accord with trtditions and iawi of the Ordir.

Santa Barbara Boys Hold Party

The Santa Barbara Lumbermen proved their hospitality on MaI 23rd when they held their Annual Jinks-at the Santa Cruz Islands. Promptly at five in the morning, the 'Sea 'Wolf," well crowded and under the direct guidance of J. "Spokane" Cronin, left the Santa Barbara whalf. A very wonderful barbecue was served at the Club House on the Islands. Most of the time was spent in fishing and hiking, the only contest of the day being for the prize offered for the party who appeared in the -most dilapidated clothes. Thiiwai *ott ,rery handily by J. E. Fritzinler of the Santa

Barbara Lumber Co. who carried a straw hat that was.a rvinner.

The Peoples_Lumher Co. of Ventura sent up four men and the Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co. was lepresented by E. S. Houghton.

There was just enough energy left in the crowd to sing "Hail ! Hail ! The Gang's All Here" as the boat warpeii into port at seven that night.

The boys in Santa Barbara know how to entertain and, as they promise another trip to these islands, a large crowd will be on hand at that time.
