 declared elected.

— The Annual Report of the Fern Chapter was recently sent to 

 all members. This pamphlet also contains the new constitution 

 of the Chapter and correct list of members up to September of 

 this year. The constitution is also reprinted separately, and a 

 copy will be gladly sent to any one who is contemplating joining 

 the Chapter. — C. 



— For the first time in our history a Judge of Elections has been 

 selected from the Pacific coast. This brings home to us all, in a 

 new way, the extent and strength of our Chapter. The new con- 

 stitution gives all those who were formerly classed as associates a 

 right to vote in the election. We hope all will take advantage of 

 it. And every active member should have interest enough in 

 selecting a gcod set of officers for the Chapter to vote in this 

 election. A postal card for voting is preferred. — C
