CAMP FIRE GIRLS GR|EvE
Plans for Outing in the Indian
Style Are Declared
Off.

The vast army OF "joys" which have
been lowering about the various camps
of the Camp Fire Girls have been put to
rout. A multitude of "glooms'' have ia
ken their places
One hundred and twenty-five camp fire
girls had planned to go into camp at
River View. Nd, today, to spend two
weeks like real Indians. They were to
have used the camp site which was va
Gated this morning by the Boy Scouts.
But the 'glooms' came and drove out
the "toys' when Miss Ellen Hope Wilson
guardian Of the District organizations.
announced that all plans for the camp
were OF. or at least postponed until next
year.
Threatening Weather the Cause.
Because Of the threatening condition OF
the weather, Miss Wilson believes the
camp fire girls had better have something
more substantial than canvas tents to
shelter them during the next two weeks.
The postponement of the camp will mean
that those girls who are ready to ad-
vance from the position Of wood gatherers
to the higher degree Of torch bearers will
have to wait whole year before they
can take their examinations in nature,
cooking and camp craft.

 There were a number of visitors at the l. 0. O. F. home. Fairview, on Christmas day, and there were many others who were unable to come ow- ing to the big storm the day before, but those who did come tried to make it as pleasant for the residents as pos sible.

MODERN woopMEN.

An official circular has been issued from the Head Offices of the Modern Woodmen of America explaining why there can be no referendum by the members, for time at least, on the question of accepting or rejecting the readjustment of rates adopted at Chl- cago in January. 1912, by the supreme legislative body of the society.
 The explanation is that Judge Mo- Kinley at Chicago, recently, on appli- 1, cation by Addison Jones, an old mein- Der, issued an injunction prohibiting the referendum on the ground that 1t was unconstitutional. The circular notes the failure of the Modern Wood men dissatisfied with the new rates to appeal from this decision, although they were allowed to intervene in the case and present an argument against the granting of the injunction. It ai- SO notes that an application for a similar injunction was made some months ago in an equity action filed at Galesburg, H.. by M. H. Cleary of Galena, representing the dissenting Woodmen. It states that the society issued blanks for the referendum on July 1, the day the law took effect, and had the plans ready for submission to the state board when the Chicago in junction was issued. %.
 The Modern Woodmen society, whose readjustment rates as to new mem bers went into effect last May, is es- tablishing new camps and holding class adopticns and membership campaigns in various parts of the country. The wcrs is proceeding in all parts of the Jurisdiction except the middle west where the agitation against the new rates has interrupted the ordinary ac- tivity.
