Remaining suspended, 268. The Commander
In Chief says that no comrade should be lost 10
the Order because he is unable to pay his dues;
neither should we carry comrades on our rolls
that are able 10 pay, but are Indifferent" The
Department Commander urges this upon the
special attention of Posts, with the request that
active measures be taken TO bring these COM
rades to full membership.
The time is now approaching when active
preparations should be made to furnish the
usual Christmas dinner to our worthy poor.
The Department Commander requests that Post
Commanders detail two comrades from each
fost, ana report tnelr names TO these Head
quarters, to aid the Department Relief Com
mittee in this noble work. By kindred deeds
like these do we tell the story OF our fraternity.
RHODE ISLAND
At the inspection Of Balou Post g. Central
Falls, tie Post was found in good condition as
far ~ could be learned from tie Inspecting
Omcer. Tho Post now numbers l22 members
in good standing. and good prospects of increas-
ing its membership. They have an amount in
their relief fund enough to donate for charita-
bic purposes should any emergency arise.
The Department Commander says that every
comrade in the Department should salute Post
49, New Market. This Post pledged $500 to
the monument fund, and on Oct. Ia held
picnic at Chestnut Grove Fair Grounds which
was grand affair and Melted an amount sufii-
Gent 10 make good more than half the pledge
The Commander hopes that other Posts will do
likewise. In the towns, especially during the
Winter months entertainments can be held that
will realize goodly sums for the fund, TO say
nothing of the enjoyment to be bad. In nearly
every instance it only requires to say we
will" and it will be found comparatively easy
to do. The comrades of this Department mover
had presented TO them a more worthy object
than the erection of the proposed monument.
And let 1t be remembered that any number of
copies OF the address of the Monument Com
mittee will be furnished on request from these
Headquarters. The postofice address of the
Department Chaplain. Rev. w. B. Rippetoe, is
now Sevierville. Post Chaplains who have not
done so will at once forward to him reports of
