Would Change OFFICIAL Paper
Frank Lohr of Moline will go to the
meeting of the Great Council of Red
men, which takes place this week, in
an attempt to make the local Red
mems paper, the American Indian, an
official state affair. Heretofore the
illinois Redmen" has held this posi-
ton. The American Indian is pub
lished by we'll known local men;
George T. Kemmerling being presi-
dent; Frank P. Lohr, secretary, TAD
Charles j. Ekstrom, treasurer. This
paper has grown greatly in the last
few months and it Is hoped that Mr..
Lohr can succeed in making it the
Redman official organ for Illinois. At
the meeting Of the King Philip Tribe
of Redmen last night, it was decided
to send Joseph Fogelstrom as dele
gate TO the great council meeting at
Jacksonville. Mr. Fogelstrom was au-
thorized 20 vote as he sees best on the
orphans home question which has
been bothering the Redmen.
