a matter of fact many of the Fores-

some of them returning direct TO their
homes. some going on boat via Detroit
and others intending to stop over to-
day in Chicago.

Fine Impression of Foresters.
While the number OF men in camp
was not as large as that attending
some of the other encampments the
one just closed was success in every
particular and the Foresters, as they
have always done. made a deep i'm
preston upon Toledoans and visitors,
serving to give an idea of the splendid
organization the Modern Woodmen
nave and of the loyalty of the mem.
1ers TO the society. In coming here
he Foresters donated their time, while
he local camps. as generally known,
paid their expenses. These were not
light, especially for the teams coming {
rom a distance. In the case of the 1
Wash. team the expenses
mounted to s2.70o.
