After cheering the staff officers fon

elected head camp officers, and pass q
resolutions Of thanks to all who had CON
trtbuted to the success Of the convention
the twelfth biennial head camp cf the
Modern Woodmen of America passed INTO
history at 1903 o'clock yesterday If err
noon to the strains Of "Auld Lang syne"
Ihese were the picturesque fes lures,
in business way the most important ac-
ton was the voting down of a re.om-
mendation Of the law committee TINT a
supreme physician should be appointed.
This plan had been generally approved
by Head Consul Northcott and other
prominent members of the order, and Il
was generally understood that DR.. c. A.
McCollom, of Minneapolis, who as Min
nesota' $ state physician who had made
q remarkable record, was slated for the
place. He declined TO be a candidate for
reelection at the state camp last Feb
ruary, and evidently counted up.n the
appointment. The convention decided to
retain the present head physician system
for the next two years but voted hat
the positions should be appointlve Instead
of elective after 1903.
An effort to change Woodman memo faI
day from the third Sunday In June to
May 90, was made, but defeated as It
was suggested that the c. A. r. might
take offense. A motion to require clerks

toast:
Here's to old Kentucky.
With its deep and classic shades.
Filled with the beauteous forms Of lts
dark-haired maids.
Where the nightingale sings swectIy mid
blossoms newly born.
And its corn is filed with kernels.
And It's colonels filed with corn"
