The cover is made of postal cards. This was taken, it Is charged, November 18.

An unequivo cal stand for a readjustment of rates is taken by Head Clerk C. W. Hawes of the Modern Woodmen of America, in his report presented at the fifteenth head camp session of the order con vened here at 9 o'clock this morning. Ten possible plans are suggested, and it is expected that before the head camp adjourns next Saturday, ar rangements will be made to hold an other session within the year, to be devoted exclusively to the rate ques tion.
