m. Gold Crown Dental Parlors, Craar Stntath 8trt aai Talrd Areair The joint meeting of the four lojal camps of Modern Wooirasn held at M. W. A. hall in Carse list evening to discuss the emergency fund proposition was atteniel by abut one hundred ani fifty membjrs.

anl three hours were spent in an exhaustive discussion of the question. Over a dozen speeches wera male and all agreed that the time hia arrived when something should ba done to perpetuate the order. J. H. Kerr was the only speaker who did not fa-vor the providing of some sort of fund to draw upon in the future, but the manner of collecting the fund brought out a wide range of views.

M. T. Stevens, who was the chairman of the joint committee that calltd the meeting, presided. Dr. J.

F. Myers was the lirst speaker called upon, lie said he had opposed emergency funds in fraternal societies until two years ago, when he attended a meeting of the Fraternal congress at Boston and was con verted. Producing statistics, the doctor read from them to bear out h'n statement that the assessments of fraternals increase in size and number as the societv rrows older. The Woodmen, he contended, will eventually lie forced to establish a fund, and it can be done over a long period of years with less hardship and les9 damage to the order than to wait until conditions force the matter. The example of the A.

O. U. W. was cited to show how an order had survived such change and the Legion oT li enor to show the in inner of disintegration that faces the Woodmen if they persist in their present policy. The speaker showed that it would require 170 years for a member to mature a policy with 9.r cent assessments.

When the time comes that Woodmen assessments begin to increase, the younger and unthinking members will drop out and join younger orders that olTer cheaper in suranee, and thus the br.rdeu will fall with double weight upon the older members who are unable to enter a new order. Ouestion of I tmunt Gravity. Maj. C. W.

Ilawes, head clezk of the order, was next called upon He assured his hearers that the question up was of the utmost gravity. He felt that Woodmen are not now pajing to the order what is justly due it. in view of what they expect to receive from it. Fraternities ure a rnoJern improvement, and as such arc lacking in experience. Maj.

Hawes said he had been and still is with one of the older societies in which dues on a $2,000 policy are over treble those of the Woodnieu on the same risk, and he feels that he is not paying the older society to much. He read from tables of statistics based upon accepted mortuary records showing the actual risk of insurance at various periods of life. He then read the rates of Woodmen insurance, and by comparison showed that men above 45 years of age are now being carried at an actual loss, the surplus from the dues of younger members being ab sorbed to make nu the deficiency. The increasing average age of the general membership reuders it only a question of time when the deficiency will overbalance the surplus and then will come the increasing of assessments. Maj.

Hawes referred to the various opinions as to what ought to be done and briefly outlined some of the plans advanced by prominent Woodmen. He showed the difference between a reserve fund, which is a permanent thing to be drawn upon only for its earnings, and an emergency fnndvof which both principal and interest are available. 1 or his part, he favored the latter, to be raised in such manner that members contributing to it will get their money back at the end of, iay t'O years. Illinois Not Psjlnff-Xonam. George K.

Morgan thought the present plan good for temporary insurance and as such a benefit to one where it is bound to prove a loss to nine. Even now the craft in Illinois is not paying its own losses with its revenues and some of the other older states in Woodcraft are in the same condition. Mr. Morgan favored the adoption of the step-rnte plan, or an increase of assessment with the increasing age of the member. Head Adviser Dan E.

Home, of Davenport, favored an emergency fund. His plan was to levy special assessments at regular periods upon all member and to add to the initiation fees of new numbers to raise such fund. He considered the head otlicers safe cus- FRANK M. BERRY DIES AFTER A LONG ILLNESS. Frank M.
