CROOkSTON IS
GETTING BUSY
THE BOYS UP THE LINE GETTING
READY FOR THE BIG DISTRICT
CONVENTION THAT WILL BE
HELD THERE NEXT JUNE,
WHICH FARGO WILL ATTEND.

1t might be of some interest for the
Fargo council to know that the
Crookston U. c, r.. is preparing for
the big district convention that will
be held in that city in June of next
year, and they expect to have the big
gest kind of a time. At the last
meeting there were thirty or forty
present and each and every one had
something to say about the district
convention. The correspondent from
that council sends the following:
Cur hustling Senior Counselor Clayt
Final appointed a degree team to do
he work at grand council meeting
here next June, each of whom promis-
ed to deliver the goods, and they have
the ability, so we look for a prize
winning degree team in the queen
city. Bro. Frank Gravel was with us,
his presence Of course was one of the
reasons for the air being so impreg-
mated with enthusiasm. He delivered
n Of those paternal speeches, that
originates around his heart strings.
He gave III good advice as to the pre-
liminaries connected with the grand
council meeting in 1913.
I'VE won the flags for the quarter
ending in June. They were sent to US
by the grand council for taking in the
greatest number of members since
June l.. We will try and keep them
until the grand session.
I'VE are rehearsing on how TO give
