TO CONSIDER CHANGE.
M. w. A. Camp VIII Take Important
Action This Sprinu.

On February 3 two of the local
camps OF the Modern Woodmen of
America will take an important ac-
ton In regard to the proposed changes
IN the assessment plan of the order,
which Is the subject of a great deal
OF discussion among the members of
the organization wherever it exists.
On February the third camp of OF
tumWa will take the same action as
that to be taken three days before by
the two older camps. This action will
be the election of delegates from the
several organizations to the county
convention, which will be held in Wa
pello county as in the other counties
| throughout the state, on the first We'd
nesday in April. The delegates are to
be elected by the various lodges at
the first meeting of each of them in
February
At the county conventions the dele
gates to the state convention will be
held on the first Wednesday in May
| and at this convention delegates will
be selected to represent the state in
the general convention or head camp
| which will decide whether or not the
proposed financial plan shall be adopt
ed. 1t is important that the subordi-
nate lodges instruct their delegates to
pursue such course Of action as meets
with the approval of a majority of the
members of each subordinate camp.
Heretofore the three conventions
named have been held upon different
dates and more time has been allow
ed between the date of the state con-
ventions and the meeting of the head
camp. For some reason the interven-
ing period has been reduced. There
will not be much time to organize the
| delegates from the various states as
| only two weeks interviewed between
| the state conventions and the date of
the head camp meeting
