Flag Hnys-AppoIntments.
Headquarters Woman's Relief Corps,
Auxiliary to the Grand Army of the
Republic.
Superior. Neb.. April 10, 1905.
General Orders, No. 3.
l. The Gath National Convention of
the Woman's Relief Corps will be held
in Minneapolis, Mimi, on Thursday
and Friday, Aug. 16 and II, 1906
Headquarters will be established at
The West" Further particulars will
be promulgated in future orders.
ii. We again call attention TO the
early date of National Convention. and
urge that all quarterly reports for quar-
ter ending June 80 be in hands of Ma
tional Secretary not later than July 10.
Department Presidents are requested 10
call the attention of Corps Presidents
to this matter. and instruct them that
their reports must be at Department
Headquarters not later than July 3.
Ill. Corps and Department Presidents
are requested to give personal attention
to the correctness of quirter.y reports
that none need be returned for correc-
tions. Departments who:e reports are
not received on or before July 20 will
be recorded as suspended.
w. Department Chaplains must for.
ward Memorial Day reports to Ma.
tional Chaplain not later than June 20.
V. Department Patriotic Instructors
whose reports are not in hands of Ma
tional Patriotic Instructor by June 20
will deprive their Departments of rep
resentation in that line of our work.
Let none be negligent in their duty.
VI. Department officers must not de-
lay their reports beyond the prescribed
dates, to accommodate negligent Corps.
Corps Presidents are inexcusable if they
fail to report promptly, that their De-
partment may show the excellence of
their work; but delay means suspension
for either Corps or Department; there
fore promptness and accuracy is urged
upon all.
VII. The new edition of Rules and
Regulations and Rituals are now in the
hands of the National Treasurer, and
while the changes and revisions are
few, Corps should have at least one
copy of each edition. Mounted oeo-
graphs are now in stock-price. so
cents; also Loyalty Pins" for prize
contests, at $3.50 each.
VIII. Attention has been called to the
fact that Corps Treasurers in some De-
partments are selling pins purporting
to be the recognition pin of the Wo-
mans Relief Corps. We have but one
pin (Section 5, Article XXI of Chapter
V, Rules and Regulations. which must
be procured from the National Treasur-
er by Department Treasurers, and by
lHtIH Sblu lo tIt 1OTpS iItdSuItIS lOi
members of the Order only. All other
pins are spurious. Corps Treasurers
violate their obligation by handling
them, and the pin is worthless. because
it represents no Order whatever.
TX. The announcement has been
made by the Department President of
Illinois of the unvailing of Bronze
Group typical OF Mother Bickerdyke
and private soldier. the ceremony to
take place during the Encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic. held
in Galesburg, H., beginning May 22.
This is a fitting memorial to one who
gave the best years of her life and of
her substance, that she might minister
to the suffering soldier boy of the SOS.
The thanks of grateful people should
be given to the Association of loyal
women who nave erected this monu-
ment in loving tribute to her memory.
X. June IA is the Flag Day of Ameri-
ca. Let every member of our Order
recognize it's significance and encour-
Leaflet," issued by National Patriotic
Instructor Eliza J. Crisler, is most
beautiful tribute to "Old Glory" and
should be found in every household.
