shorn of festivities and be conducted
as purely business proposition, clos

nesday night train from Minneapolis
Tor home; with perhaps a brief stop
over at Chicago for sightseeing.
Like the Scottish Rite, the Mystic
Shrine all over the country is being
flooded with applications for member

perhaps, among the most successful In
Its history in point of increased mem
bership. The Imperial Council officers
preceding the convention have given
much attention to patriotic features at
