nois Convention of Mod
ern Woodmen.
DELEGATES ARE PLEDGED

City Asked to Cooperate
in Movement.

Head Clerk c. w Hawes, Editor F.
O. Van Calder, Supreme Medical Di-
rector E. L. Kerns and other leading
Woodmen officials have got together on
should have the next state convention
of the Modern Woodmen. DR.. Kerns
has communicated with all of the dele
gates going to the state camp from
Rock Island county, with the end in
view of perfecting an organization to
land the state camp for Rock Island.
There is strong reason TO believe that
the state camp, when 1t meets at
Springfield, will favorably consider
Rock Island as it's next meeting place.
The state camp is composed of over
400 delegates from all sections of the
state, and Rock Island has never made
any special effort heretofore to secure
the meeting. AS the headquarters of
the society, the delegates representing
the membership from all sections of
the state will have an opportunity to
visit the headquarters if the next state
meeting is located here, and this will
be the strong card played by the dele
gates from Rock Island county.
COMMERCIAL BODIES COOPERATE.
The matter will be presented aggres-
sfvely to all of the delegates meeting
at Springfield, and the Rock Island
club and Rock Island Business Mems
association will be asked to cooperate
and make pledges that may be present
ed to the Springfield meeting. euaran-
teeing the proper entertainment of the
delegates at the next succeeding con
vention.
