Eastern Stat Funds. "When the Grand. Chapter of the Eastern Star was constituted in this itato provision was'made for a cerain per cent of its dues to be placed n a aharitv fund. At' its seernirf nn lual session the errand Chapter in a nodest way undertook to assist the Aasons to build ? Masonic home vhich at that time the Masons conemplated doing.
