The Royal Foresters will elect company
officers at the meeting next Tuesday
evening. The policy of the present Illus
trious supreme commander is to have
no commissioned officers of higher rank
than captain until the membership of the
Royal Foresters is sufficient to warrant
more "gold lace officers, and this idea
| seems to have the approval of the rank
and file who are the real workers in the
encampments. This policy does away
with the position of colonel and staff At
