elect chairman and secretary friendly to
Edwards, and fix the date of the con-
gressional convention.

meeting of the committee by refusing to

MANKATO'S CHANCE.
Opportunity to Secure the Odd Fellows
Home.

The committee in charge of the
erection Of home for Odd Fellows
recommended, at the recent meeting
of the grand lodge in St. Paul, that
they be granted authority to adVer-
tise for bids on structure and grounds
and the report was accepted. A
statement will be sent to each lodge
Of the condition of the fund, with an
invitation to bid on the location.
The rivalry between the towns desir-
ing to secure the institution is very
warm and Little Falls, Ovation
ma, Rochester, FaribauIt and ST..
Peter are already lobbying. The
committee expects that suitable
site will be donated and possible that
a bonus may be offered. The final de.
cision rests with the grand lodge.
Mankato should get in the game for
the home. The full amount of S25, 900
has been raised for the building.
There is no better or healthier place
for the home. 1t might be located at
one of the lakes if it was thought
best.
