Comrade r. NJ. Painter took the stand
for a few moments to impress the asso-
citation that the time had arrived that it
was necessary for it to adopt new rules
and customs along certain lines, par
ticularly that of requiring the county in
which the reunion is held, to feed all the
visiting comrades and their families while
in attendance at the reunion; that
had outgrOWn the infant that we were
few years ago, and that it would be such
strain or draft upon the communities
in which the reunions will in future be
held, that none of them would consent to
have the reunion held in their county.
COmrade Painter in closing his remarks,
moved that the custom of feeding visit
ors a the coming reunions be discontin-
ued and the motion was adopted.
On motion of Comrade Lane, of Sew
ard county, the city or county entertain
ing the reunion in the future would be
aYn fn frIr pisl,
water. cooking utensils and tents. Mo-
ton adopted.

union. 1902, was then taken up, and
Comrade Snyder presented Ashland.
Clark county, the place for our next
meeting.
Comrade J. L. Finley presented Dodge
City as the most available and best
equipped place for holding the 9th an
nual reunion, which brought some senti-
ment of disappreval, when the President
called upon H. Ii. Bell, who represented
the business interests of Dodge City in
this matter. Mr.. Bell stated that when
the Mayor of the city, year ago, in
vited the association TO hold its Sth an
nual reunion in Dodge City, we little
dreamed of the magnitude of the under
taking; but as we have seemingly made
a success of il, we invite you to come
again and if You decide, 1 promise
you on behalf of the City of Dodge City,
that we will do better by you-for ex-
perience is great teacher
Comrade Nj. w. Sutton then took
the stand, and in his humorous
way told the association what Dodge
City was capable of doing. Then Ash

unanimously chosen for the place of
holding the 9th Annual Reunion.
