J. Caskey, F. W. Ash was a delegate to the GrundCampof Modern Woodmen of America, which met at Topeka last week. He and the other Woodmen here seem to have endeavored to keep this fact a profound secret, but we found it out, and thinking "better late than never," proceed to give it away.

The expense of such a card is nominal, aud it serves to advertise lodge, inform their visiting brethren in regard to it, and slightly assists the paper. At this time the M. W. A.

have the only card in this paper. Why the various Secretaries do not furnish us with these items we don't know, and can attribute the failure only to laziness or a desire for unusual secresy.
