Roosevelts Long London Talk With Root Noted
In London on his way to The Hague, ex President Roosevelt met Senator Elihu Root at Ambassador Reid's Dorchester House for a lengthy discussion.

Granger-like notices follow of local events and upcoming grand council activities in Griswold and Davenport with speeches, banquets, and installations planned for the U G T and Masons community.
