It Is expected that some of the sev-nty-slx

charters. There are posts that still (
have only a score of members, alttiouth
they have been organized a year. ThU
Indicates tho organlxcra of these porta
bare not exerted themselves sufficiently
to bo given any further consideration,
and the department commander will
not likely permit these dormant poets
to continue to exist.
