HOME NEST ORDER OF OWLS, John W. Talbot, Supremo President. South Bend, Ind., F.b. 12, 1912. South Bend, Ind., Feb. 12, 1912. Mr. R. E. Marshall, North Platto, Nebraska. Dear Brother: Enclosod find carbon copy from my filos of tho lettor revoking tho charter of tho North Platto Nest. This letter was sent to Mr. Huffman in nn envelope containing a five days return direction, just liko tho envelope con taining ths letter, and it wns never re turned (o he undbubtly received it. Ho subsequently wrote here complaining thnt tho Nest should not bo required to pay per capita tax for tho quarter end ing September 30th, but that they would mnko their report and pay tax if they wore given credit for it for tho quarter ending December 31st. Tho Supremo Trustees considered tills and finally agreed in the instance of your Nest to allow that to be done, and HuiTmnn was so imformed, and since that timo he has never written to tho Supremo Officers. Mr. Kesler never had a commission ns n organizer from this order. Mr. Hill did havo such n commission to or ganize North Platte. Enclosed find n blank such as was used for his com mission, on tho back of which you will find his contract as an organizer. I havo uovor hoard from Mr. Hill since tho North Platto Nest was Instituted. As to when per capita tax was due, I call your attention to Article 8 on page 0 of tho constitution enclosed. This Shoriif of Lincoln County, Nebrasku. constitution is somewhat different from that which was furnished you at the time of your institution, because it has since been amended, but this particular article is just the same in the amend ment as it was in the other nnd it will show you in connection with Article 9 on tho same page that per capita tax is payable for every member who paid dues for any time during the quarter ending September 30th; therefore. thero was due per capita tax from your Nest on all thoso members who paid dues at any time between September 9th nnd September 30th, but as you say, that matter is, in tho light of cir cumstances, not so important ns that blamo should bo placed whero it be longs. Yours in O. O. O. John W. Talbot. November 27th, 1911. Mr. G. S. HuiTmnn, North Platto, Neb. Dear Brother: My attention has been called by tho Supremo Secretary to tho fact that since its charter was Issued September9, 1911, and forwarded to you nnd received by you, as shown by tho registry receipt returned, many communications have been addressed to you nnd your President, Vice-President and treasurer, relative to your Nest and to the report which it should have mndo on September 30th. To all of these communications your officers havo failod to make any responso and you havo failed to make tho report of your Nest, for which report blanks wore forwarded to you on Soptombor 15th. Therefore, I heroby rovoko tho chnrtor of your Nest at North Platto, Nobras ka. Yours in O. 0. 0., John W. Tamiot, .
