J. Humipert 7 Secretary anld Treasurer; Johri Ruf lien Sprehe and Frank Schiiette.

Trustees; Herman Haake and William Mahiardt, Maiikgers. Talks were1 given by several fficers "and members jn which the purpose of the association and the different laws and rules were explained. The-num. ber of members was reported aj being 492, just eight short of the' goal set for the past six months work. The managers and their assistants have been hard at work to build up the membership and from the number already 'signed It looks as if the organization- will soon break all records for Mutual Relief Associations.

i The Association was organized in Jure (25th), 1923. for the. purpose of furnishing the best insurance poss. ible for the citizens of this country. good reasons were given wny this insurance is the" best to be ob- tamed.

7 The most important cf these reasons are that the Association pays death benfit8 on the day of the death of any member. The only dues to pay are the $1.00 year for three upkeepof the organi. zation and the $1.00 assessment when: a member dies; assessments ere never raised bat are lowered after the- mem. "beruhip passes the one thousand maik; it is not run for profit and it keeps tht money at home where, it, belongs. It is: well worth the tame of anyone who.

is contemplating taking out insurance, to look up the mayiagws of th's organization and have them explain' all the advantages afforded by the Clinton County Jtfutuil Relief Association.
