HAVE THE KNOW-HOW.
/ More to the point, however, is the
fact that, if the Mystic Workers should
vote to make a change, Rock Islands
position offers certain strategical ad-
vantages when the time comes to make
the actual removal. Not only that,
/ but there are still living and active
a number of Rock Islanders who have
laid safely away, or impressed on the
tablets of their memory, good working
maps of the inner defenses of Fulton
village, said maps having been secured
in the campaign that ended in the
transplanting, root and branch, of the
Woodmen head Office to this city some
years ago.
The Mystic Workers may vote to
remove. That will be easy. But drag
ging the effects out of Fulton is an
other matter. Here is where Rock
Island comes in. This is a real, live
go get EN- town and We can guar
antee ability TO collect whatever is
offered us for the taking. Moreover
We have reason to think that we have
the Fulton goat tied up somewhere
in our back yard.
REGULAR HOTBED.
Fulton is conceded to be a real gooC
place in which TO make a start, having
!, been, after a manner of speaking, {
: virtual hOtbed of fraternalism. Blu
hotbed is. poor place in which t
mature plants and herein lies Fulton:
trouble. Rock Island, on the Othel
; hand, has shown by the Woodmeni
experience that its soil is great TO
growth
By all means let the Mystic Work
} ers look us over, while they are il
the looking business, and let Fulton
/ prepare for the inevitable by plantin.
