Will Not Use the Word “Ancient.”

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 12.—The Supreme Court of the Ancient Order of Foresters took final action on the question of changing the name of the order, and it now stands the order of Foresters of America. The word “ancient” was dropped because the organization is American, and America is not ancient. While a vote has not yet been taken on the place for holding the next biennial convention the members generally concede that Denver will be selected.
