The Modern Woodmen OF
Bottineau saw to it that none
of the poor of the city went
without a good Christmas din
ner. Besides distributing din
ners and provisions among the
worthy poor, small sums of
money were also given out
where they would do the most
good.
The philanthropy of the local
Woodmen is to be commended
and is certainly appreciated by
those who where permitted to
enjoy Christmas cheer through
their good offices.
