have been as many as three generations in
some families. and many of them have been
callers at her home up TO the time OF her
illness. She was educated and refined. She
had lived in Marion county since 1921. She

PRICE ONE CENT
RED MEN AT NORTHFIELD
special to I'ELEGRAM.)

Northfeld, Nov. 25. - An attempt
will be made here in a few days to
start local tribe of the Improved
Order OF Red Men. This order is the
Oldest fraternal society of an Ameri-
can origin. It's cardinal principles
are Freedom, Friendship and Charity,
and it's special aim is to help the
members when they are sick and un-
able to work.
The order has a membership Of
some over 200, 900 in the whole coun-
try and has more than 10000 members
in Massachusetts and Vermont.
Hitherto the field in Vermont has
been left uncultivated but it is be-
lievcd that good tribe can be started
here that will add to the good name
Of the town.
1t is essentially young mems Or
der and is very progressive. The Or
der is the only one preserving the
ancient traditions and virtues OF the
primitive Red Men, remarkable for
their many good qualities.
According to a recent report the
average tribe had $1,000 as the funds
on hand or invested and the amount
paid the brothers, widows and or.
phans in aid during the past year was
in excess of $3.50 for each member
which fact would certainly show the
benevolent purpose Of the order.
In order to have charter granted
there must be at least 30 names on
the application. Membership is re-
stricted only to white males OF good
health and moral character and Of the
full age Of 21 years. The fee for
charter members will probably be
placed at $40 so as to leave money on
hand after the tribe is equipped with
paraphernalia, etc.
George w. Brown of Barre will un-
dertake the work OF organizing the
tribe under the direction Of Deputy
Great Sachcm j. A. L. Julian Of Barre
where there is strong tribe called
Iroquois tribe. He will begin his
canvass in few days and hopes to
secure the needed number so that the
new tribe can be instituted early in
December.
good tribe is secured here it is
proposed to start one in Randolph and
also one in Montpelier. Recently
new tribe has been started in Bellows
Falls and is doing well. In it's ritual
and ceremonies the order follows very
closely the customs of the Old Red
Men and hence gets it's name. 1t was
one OF the early tribes of this order
that destroyed the tea in Boston har-
Dor in Revolutionary times.
