The sovereign Camp Woodmen Of the
World, instituted June, 1890. at Omaha,
for the purpose of perfeciing and extend
ing the principles Of Wmdcraft to The
whole country, has built membership
of thirty odd thousand, paid every death

order that places Monument at every
grave, that limits the duration Of its

year, thus removing every doubt as to
