quarters
The election of officers will occur the
second meeting in December, and install
lation OF officers the first regular meeting
in January.
Immediately after election, society
presidents will recommend to headquar-
ters the name and address Of the person
they desire to install the new officers, and
a commission will then be forwarded; al
so please send complete list OF the newly
elected officers. Each society should make
a careful selection OF officers, ,electing those
who have been punctual in attendance up
ON meetings, who have the good of the
society at heart, and whom the members
will work together harmoniously under
and thereby promote the growth OF the
society.

tenders Day" which occurs on February
u, Lincolnis birthday This custom, es-
tablished by the Sons OF Veterans, is re-
ceiving the approval OF ail patriotic people.
Be watchful for charitable work. Every
member has a part in the attainment Of
this grand object. During the holidays
is good time TO hunt up the needy, ana
make many sad hearts glad
The division president extends sincere
congratulations to each society's officers,
who with the close OF the year retire from

tesy. 1t has been pleasure TO work to-
gether and the division has prospered.
Feeling very sorry to part company with
