membership OF the Non Swearing
knights of America, of which Con-
ductor r. G. Wynn. OF Sherwood, Is
secretary, treasurer and organizer.
and he has been deluged with inquiries
about the order and applications for
membership. Plans are under way
for national headquarters building
at Minot. Heretofore the order has
grown thru the personal efforts OF MIR.
Wynn and his friends He has had
cards printed. bearing the following:
Swearing is a violation of the laws
of God, Of this state and Of good So
clety and / am therefore, plainly
neither Christian, good citizen nor
a gentleman If I swear. Please keep
this card and send your address and
five cents to r. G. Wynn, secretary
treasurer Nom Swearing Knights of
America, Sherwood, N. d.
The conductor distributes the cards
to passengers on his Great Northern
