bership persons engaged in the sale or

and needy or of transient Knights was
recommended in all cities. The organ

in each lodge with the aim
of ultimately organizing second regi-
ment was recommended. a resolution

ance branch was repealed. Two pages

signed to memOrialiZing knights during
the past year. st. Paul was selected as
the place and the second Tuesday of

the grand chancellor $3.50 for his work
IN organizing during the past year was
voted down, as it was deemed useless to
attempt to recOmpenSe services Of such
nature. AS mark of appreciation,
however, the lodge voted 800 with
