that during the three days before his
death he sent in five new members and
that during the past thirty days he was

OF vital Importance to the organization,
than any other member OF the division.
desire at this time 10 call the atten-
tion of every member to the fact that they
should read their constitution and bylaws.
Some Of our oldest members and highest
officials are so unfamiliar with the same
that they in sending in applications for
new members or for indemnity have to
be reminded Of some oversights or mistakes
that have been made. IL they will take
the time to read carefully the questions
asked on the blanks furnished by the as
sociation they will at once appreciate the
necessity of these questions being properly
answered before they can expect them 10
have favorable consideration by either the
State or National board.
We are travelling men, and in making
cut our orders If we were as negligent as
we are in making up our Travellers Pro-
tective Association papers the most of US
would have TO join the "Coxey" army or
answer the recent tails that have been is
sued by the president of the United States
for recruits for the United States army.
Generally speaking We are ''al rieht." !

vention at Galveston VIII be a hummer
In selecting the dates the board decided
fayorably upon those mentioned on account
of the fact that Immediately after our con-
vention will be held the Saengerfest We
believe this will be good news to German

both conventions at one reduced rate of
fare
The Galveston boys are making a spe-
,iat effort to entertain us royalty, and in
addition to all this. unless something I'M
foreseen should happen to prevent our Ma
Iional president, Wallerstein will be with |
lis.
Captain Ludlow desires at this time to
thank the ieutenants on his side of the |

to the division. for the effort |
hey are making toward insurlng his pay |
ng a percentage of the cost OF provender |
that Captain Dieclmann and his lteuten-
ants now have every prospect OF eating at |
he said Ludlow and his lieutenants' ex |
oensc. In fact their mouths are tnow |
at the prospect, IL Is too bad |
hat we can't get hump on to ourselves |
md with little salt get out and capture |
= few new members which we need In order
TO make Dieckmann and his lieutenants |

We believe that the assertion that the |
Texas division Of the Travellers Protective |

furnishing condition as 1t is today, 10 be |
rue, and we have every reason TO believe |
hat it will continue TO improve. Fra |
