General Orders, No II, issued at Minneapolis,

lowing hotel rates are given: Ryan, So; Merchants,
$3.50 and So; Windsor, $3.50; Clifton, So lnterna-
tional and Clarendon, Sl.50 per day. Accompany
ing this is circular letter from the local Commit
tee OF Arrangements for the Encampment, and
comrades are assured OF royal welcome at The
hands Of their comrades in ST. Paul. The low rail-
road rates secured should induce a large attend
ance. The opportunity TO meet with comrades and
receive the hearty hand clasp and still heartier
greeting grows less each year, anu appreciated
on each occasion more than ever before, so that
not one OF these gatherings should be missed. The
Commauder-in-Chief will cheer with his pres
ence on the second day of the Eneampment: In
spectors VIII note from General Order, No 4, Head

and will receive the new in even. exchange. Past
Post Commanders or Installing Officers are remind
ed that officers OF Posts cannot be legally installed
until returns for the current quarter and per capita
tax have been forwarded, placed in the hands
OF the Installing Officer for transmitta TO these
some Posts of the Department orders are not read,
and comrades are not advised TO what Is trans
PiTing. To remedy tins, Post Adjutants will note
the receipt, time of reading and filing, arranged
tora the head ofthis Order same may be eX-
amincd and reported upon by the Assistant Inspect
ors- The Department Eucampment has been called
earlier than usual, for that urgent and
but % days intervene between the close OF the pres
ent quarter and lis meeting. Post officers Will see
the Importance of being more than usually prompt
with their returns that the Department officers
may prepare their annual reports. Commanders
should have their reports completed Immediately
after the last meeting in the quarter and that
they are promptly forwarded, as much time and
labor viii be necessary 10 compile and have them
IN readiness for the Eneampment. The attention
OF staff officers OF the Department is called to page
ll3t journal OF last Emcampment, for direction as
TO their reports. They should be forwarded to the
Assistant Adjutant-General without delay. The
consolidated return for the third quarter has been
many Posts the Department. OF Minnesota was the
last TO report. The strength Of the Department
was given as 1915 members ia good standing, as
against sO26 the previous quarter. Had all the
Posts reported, at least zoo would be the showing
OF membership. The matter of suspensions con-
tInue 20 place the Department Ia bad light, as ol
are reported, mere than one-enth tie member
ship Ii l. earnestly urged that Posts take inme-
dlate steps 10 remedy this. Where a worthy COM
rade IS battling with misfortune struggling for
livelihood for lis family his dues should be remit
ted and he placed Ia good standing. Let us prae-
ilce the charity we teach.
