YUMA LODGE OF ELKS' HOME, ERECTED AT A 

 COST OF $25,000 



Yuma has a large number of secret societies, all of which are 

 prosperous, and many of which boast of a large membership. The 

 Elks are the most conspicuous, and have erected a home of splendid 

 proportions and have furnished it in regal style. The membership of 

 this order exceeds 300. Other secret societies are: Odd Fellows, 

 Masons, Moose, Spanish-American Alliance, Rebekahs, Order of the 

 Eastern Star, Eagles, Knights of Pythias. 



The Masons own their own home, and the Odd Fellows are pre- 

 paring to build. 



The women of Yuma take a very active interest in civic affairs. 

 The Ocotillo Women's Club is preparing to build a women's club 

 house. The Yuma Woman's Club has an active organization and 

 holds weekly meetings. The City Club is a woman's organization 

 of a semi-political nature. At Somerton, in the Yuma Valley, twelve 

 miles South of Yuma, the Valley Woman's Club have erected a fine 

 club house, and are active in all good works. 



All people join hands in working for the civic betterment of the 

 City of Yuma and country surrounding. No better people or country 

 can be found anywhere.
