nate q Location.

At the meeting of Schiller lodge
No. 20, 1. o. o. F., Saturday night, it
was decided to 60 after the Odd Eel
lows home that is to be erected some
where in this state. A committee
was appointed to wait on Mankato
lodge No. Is at it's meeting tonight
and try to secure it's cooperation.
This committee consists of Joseph
Manderfeld, A. Lille, B. Kohler and
Geo. w. Scherer. The grand lodge of
Odd Fellows now has nearly $50, 900 to
use in building home, and the city
that has the most inducements to Of
fer will get it.
Geo. Peter Hoerr has offered to do
nate ten acres of land on the Eagle
Dake road, within the city limits, as
location, and several of our citizens
have expressed themselves as anxious
to donate 1926 each in case paper is
circulated to raise a bonus. Fl. P.
Christensen has also made an offer to
No. Is in regard to Fair Point, at
Lake Madison.
The local lodges ought to push
their endeavor to secure the institu-
tion, as it would be big thing for
Mankato. Among the inducements
which this city has to offer, aside
from a free location and a cash bonus,
is central location, excellent rail-
road facilities, pure water, cheap
living, etc. Besides all this, the
building can be erected at third less
cost in Mankato than elsewhere, for
the building material is all at hand.
All these natural advantages should
aid the lodges in the work of secur-
ing the home. Let no stone be left
unturned to bring it to MankatO.
