ANOTHER LECTURER MAY BE
SUBSTITUTED FOR BENNETT

Secretary westermann of the Y. NJ
c. A., has received a telegram stating
that Claude n. Bennett. i'm charge OF
the government information bureau
will be unable to come to Calumet next
Tuesday evening. and consequently the
lecture will have to be postponed to
fbme indefinite date, IL not altogether,
Mr.. Bennett may be substituted by
ex-Governor Hadley of Missouri. The
lecture course committee is discussing
the probabilities OF securing him in the
place of Mr.. Bennett as the latter gem
tleman cannot come to Calumet until
late in January, and possibly not until
March. This is considered too long a
wait.
Mr.. Hadley is a lecturer of national
repute. a strong and forceful talker,
and well worth hearing. Until the lee
ture course committee meets. however,
nothing definite can be ascertained as
to whether the Bennett lecture will be
dropped.
Rev. Andrew Gillies of Minneapolis,
the noted preacher and lecturer, will be

W00DMtN WILL HAVE new
RITUAL AFTER JANUARY !
Local Officers Are Notified Of
Changes in Degree Work
of the Order.
RETAINS MUCH OF OLD WORK

Word has been received by the Of
ncers of copper country camps Modern
Woodmen of American. from the head
camp at Rock Island that the order
has adopted a hew ritual and that II
will be introduced as soon after the
new year as possible. DR. j. A. Rut-
ledge, of Elgin. chairman of the print
ing committee, who has taken deep
interest i'm the work, says:
I'm nearly every camp will be found
some old members who have COM
mitted To memory the ritual. They
have given it hours of study and take
pardonable pride ia their accomplish
ment. Few of these old men will again
commit To memory a ritual. Just why
they will not do so can not be eX-
planned. When these faithful few are
no longer necessary to the correct
exemplification of the work. they
many times lose interest and join
the ranks of the nonattending MEM
bers. Therefore. we repeat, it is a
serious thing to change the ritual of
a society.
"The Peoria head camp voted that
the ritual of the Modern Woodmen
of America should be revised, and the
head consul was directed to appoint
a head camp ritual committee for that
purpose. This committee had practi-
cally finished its work, and on Nov. 3
met in Chicago with n committee
from the executive council to submit
the results of their efforts. They pre-
scented complete ritual, which was
exempifed Tuesday night by the
team from Camp 1147 of Ravenswood.
The new ritual retains much of the
old work, which has been shortened
and simplified. Some new scenes have
been introduced and. as a whole, the
work of the committee is to be COM
nended
"The younger members and those who
had tired of the old work will hail
with delight the advent OF the new
ritual. The revised ritual was approx
ID and ordered printed by the execu-
tive council at its November meet !
ng. but il will not be ready for dis
until the first of the year."
