and Z: ii: Booth. The several Camps that
have failed To forward their reports and per
capita tax for quarter ending Sept %, will please
send II at once. More trouble and vexation Is
caused the Division officers by this neglect than all
others combined, and makes 1t impossible for the
officers 10 send reports To Commandery in Chief In
proper season. Captains must that these re-
quirements complied with in the future or give
sufficient reasons. No supplies will be furnished
hereafter unless acquisitions are made out In regu-
lar form and forwarded To Division Quartermaster,
accompanied with cash for the whole amount. Ali
supplies will be forwarded by express. unless post
age Is inclosed. Since the issue Of General Orders
No 4, the fifth annual National Encampment has
convened, resulting in the unanimous reelection
OF Gen. Walter $. Payne Commander-n- Chief,
with an exceptionally good staff. Several i'm
portant changes in Constitution, Rules and Regu-
lations, also in the Ritual, were made. which will
soon be printed and promulgated. Brothers are re-
minded that this being the most favorable time of
the year, they are expected to do their utmost to
regain old Camps and organize new ones Address
these headquarters for any information needed.
