I expect to go straight after the inactive camps during the next ninety days. They must show some improvement and at least some disposition to get busy or the active camps will be permitted to woik their territory. The new law makes it possible for the jurisdiction lines of one camp to be extended over that of any other camp.

I hope lhat it will not lie necessary to take advantage of this law in a single instance in my district, yet expect to put it in force in every earn) showing no disposition to get busy, will mail a copy of this paper to the clerk of every camp listed in this report and these clerks are requested to read this report in open camp so that the members will know just how the work is progressing in he different camps over their county. This is a signal for every camp and every member to get busy and boost for Woodcraft. 7 will be only too glad to assist any camp in any way that I can nt any time, and will be very glad to hear from all of the camps as to their plans and needs for the future. With kindest regards to all of the members, I remain, Yours fraternally, J. A.

Red Dud Camp is always active and September was no exception. Three certificates were credited to this cam). Neighbor Chas. Ashloek has been commissioned as deputy for Red Dud, and we will have even better reports in the future. Granite Camp lost out for September and had nothing to report.

This is unusual for this camp, but you know it has a congressman to elect. As soon as this is out of the way, we will have good reports from Granite. Quindaro Camp No. 6851 is getting into the game and had two adoptions for September. Piper Camp has also started the ball rolling with one adoption for September.

South Lawrence Camp No. 8357 has elected Seott R. Holloway as deputy for this term, and that the camp has made a good selection, will be proven by the number of applications Neighbor Holloway will bring in during the term. During the month we mailed an application for appointment of deputy to every camp in the district and I hope every camp will appoint a good hustler and get every member interested in the work so that our record for this year will be equally as good as last mr. Many camps in the district could double their membership if they would do a little hustling and now is a good tifn'e to make the start.

Neighbor L. Mark, of Tonganoxie Gamp Xo. 3210, has been commissioned as deputy for his camp. His appointment assures a good report from Tonganoxie every month. Deputy Geo.

A. Smith, of Horton Gamp Xo. 53 5, reported two applications for September with several more on the way. Live Oak Camp Xo. 3322, will be in the 300 class by January 1st, if the boys keep up their present gait.

Deputy E. T. Iloarick, of Camp Xo. 2800 Topeka, always has something doing for his camp at every meeting. During September he reported three candidates and has more applications on the way.

Look over the list of your friends and see if you cant find one or two of them whose families would need protection such as a certificate in the Modern Woodmen would assure them, and solicit their application for membership before it is too late. Deputy G. Ik Gresser, of Rossville Camp Xo. 1511 lias started things moving in liis Manhattan Cam) Xo. 1011 lias reelected F.

844. This camp has set their mark for 1,000 members by the time State Camp meets there in 1914, and we think their membership will reach the 1,000 mark by that time. They are a wide-awake set of Woodmen and every neighbor will do his best. Jola Camp No. 961 is organizing its second team and there will be a contest for 60 days between the teams, and the winning team will get the new uniforms.

Camp 1599, Ft. Scott, has selected D. II. Bishard as deputy for the camp and will start the fall campaign. We expect to see them bring in a big class this fall and winter.

The picnic at Walnut was a grand success. A large attendance; a good time; and a big dinner is reported. The picnic at Humboldt was a success in every sense of the word. A big crowd, good speakers, fine parade, a good dinner, and everything went off line. Deputy Fred E.
