FORESTEKS OF AMERICA.

Another unpleasant event has occurred.
aud u veteran of the order is under II
cloud. Financial Secretary john Wag-
uer, of Court Stevens is the unfortunate.
He reported to the court that ne had
placed his books and papers belonging to
The court on his wagon gu Monday and
drove to New York, where he intended
writing up his records at mis- office.
When he reached his place the books
were gone. They had been lost or stolen.
The court very properly suspended the
careless officer. Some were so indignant
that they made decidedly unpleasant
comments. The office WAS declared va
can't, aud a committee will make an iu-
vestigation to try If 1t is possible to
straighten the records. This can ouly be
done successfully Ii the members have not
destroyed the last receipts for dues. Thls
Incident proves the nececesslty for saving
the receipts OF the last payments. u no
member should destroy a receipt until he
has obtained u later one show1ng to what
date his Inst payment Is made. II every
member of the court was able to produce
the receipt there would be little trouble
in fixing up the financial records. Man is
not infallible, ana the committee cannot
accept the mere statements of members
concerning the payments.

siding officers in the State. The Court Ia
growing nicely and the meetings are
happy.
