eign cafp Woodmen OF the World

make a report at every session per-
taine to the business thereof with

On account OF the war. the build.
ing which had been planned by the
Tourist Association Of ST. Petersburg
for the accommodation Of large gatn-
erings. failed to be erected. Hence. q
members Of St Petersburg Camp.
considered 1t advisabis to be released
OF their obligation In entertaining this
session OF the head camp. for the rea-
son that they have no available audi
torium large enough for our accomniv-
dalton. Therefore, 1t was deemed ex-
pedient to change the place Of meet
ing to Ocala. and the date from, the
second Tuesday in March to the fourth
Monday in said month. These changes
were made after obtaining the consent
OF all the head camp officers and the
approval OF the sovereign commander.
The held deputies and district sup
ervfsors employed In this state deserve
special mention for the splendid work
they are doing for the order In the ter
rftory assigned them. They are ear
nest and enthusiastic and have secur-
ed many new members for the var

would. at present, require the holding
OF three conventions, or caucuses for
the nomination Of delegates and such
selections would ultimately have to g
confirmed by the head camp to make
them effective. 1t is my opinion that
delegates to the sovereign camp
should be elected in the same man.

read as follows:
Section 2. The head clerk shall re-
ceive tho sum of $3.50 per annum and

Section 8. The head banker shall
be the custodian of the funds of this
camp and shall receive for his SER
vices the stun of SIS pr annum, and
shall give bond payable to the head
