A State Society has been formed in Mississippi since the Balti­ more Congress, and Chairmen Tebbetts in the South and Guyer in the \Vest assure me of other stars soon to be added to our flag, and we hope not later than 1911 to be able to announce to you that we have a live Society in every State in the Union. 2 OFFICIAL BULLETIN NATIONAL SOCIETY, S.
