There is trouble in the ranks of the
Women's Catholic Order of Foresters
at the last state convention of the
order the time for the next convention
was set for the month of August of
this year but for reasons which are
not satisfactorily explained the high
court officers at Chicago have ordered
that the meeting be held earlier and
have selected the month of May
Members of the order in the twin cities
are making strenuous objections to the
change. They allege that it is move
on the part Of the high officials in
Chicago to retain their positions for
another term. All the best offices are
filled by Chicago residents, and the
bulk of money paid in goes to that
city for salaries and benefits, they say.
Inc high chief ranger is Mrs. Eliza.
beth Rodgers, who has held the posi-.
ton for many years, and who, it ap-
pears is particularly obnoxious to
