)nce with organizing a permanent di-
vision. The name OF Miss Amy Wood

s announced as provisional president
If Michigan. Sister Wood has been
recommended as a person excellently
equipped lor the position, and | take
pleasure in presenting her to he socie-
les Of this division.
The Michigan societies will convene
n convention at the same time and
,lace as the Sons of Veterans Of this
Minnesota, Washington, Maryland
lnd New Jersey, together with sever
Il other States, have nearly enough |
ocieties to organize permanent divi-
ions. Would urge upon the societies
u such States TO do all they can to get
'ther societies.
Many OF the divisions viii hold their

end delegates, aud all Others who can
