Suspension for non payment of dues is becoming
a growing evil and steps should be taken by every
Camp to prevent this so far possible The Quar-

IL Is suggested by the Division Commander that
Camp Commanders appoint n committee when
practicable to visit brothers who suspended for
non-ayment of dues, and strive to bring them back
to good standing. This has been tried i'll number
of Camps with good results.
The matter of recruiting is another that should
receive the attention of every Camp, especially the
older ones. There are many worthy soldiers sons
in every town. who only need to be shown the
principles ana objects of our organization to ally
themselves with
Let some systematic course be pursued, divide
fl,.,rss
take each district in hand, and make Il thorough
canvass, being careful to select only such as Will
make worthy members
Growth in the Camps already organized is most
desirable. Who will make the Target gain?
Camp Commanders should strive to strengthen
their commands i'll every way in their power. Hold
Campfres; invite in the q. a. Il. comrades; make
your meetings interesting, and strive to gain As

The cooler weather is now coming on and let us
prepare for work that shall show good results; let
each brother labor for the upbudng of his Camp;
strive TO make your Camp the best in the Division.
Good Camps make good Division, and good Di-
