Should the Modern Woodmen of
America win in the appeal cases taken
up in both Illinois and Iowa, the Chi

ed, because of the temporary injunc-
ton at Fort Collins. Col, which the
court, by agreement of both parties,
continued in force until July 10. 1914,
say head officials of the order today.
This Colorado Injunction, with the
agreement made between both parties,
seems TO have been overlooked by
those who still talk against the Chi
cago rates, say officials. The Chicago
rates have been put entirely out of any
future consideration. What the rates
shall be after the next head camp
rests entirely with the members. The
delegates 10 the state camps are the

goes out this month on the mail trains

custom since the blue tax law was es-
tablished.
The appeal OF local officers has been
granted and the magazine yesterday
was sent on mail trains. The circula-

dOus task.
