Till Yjr paid by the meiidieis who wen stuck- lolderm at the lime loss at a cost to hem of one-half less than the old lin companies, be-j sides not having to pay from il to 5 years in advance. 1 he Association can pay ati average loss of $1 ,000 a year, which is not likely to occur, at a cost of -1 on the $1,000, including premiums, which are only paid once. A saving tor ten years to the insured of $41.00 on the one thousand and for the whole, membership of $30,000.

IF any one thinks though that" the dues for the payment of losses will not be co.lected let him at once be iindceivedj for by recent decisions one cannot homestead against them. Or if any on? any sharp practices arc? going to be allowed to be run upon the association let him be for every mem ber is interested and a party to the contract and heroines his own detective in rase of suspected fraud. And if a one fears he will lie re assessed a pay same loss let him also be unde-eived for the pol icy contract expressly stipulates tl.tt "all losses are paid only by a pro rata assessment and the policy holders so signed and not as standing each other's security." Note Judge Spier Whitaker's opinion. Although the legislature Ihiis placed the Farmers' Mu tual on a level with th'1 Masons, Odd Fellows and other be neyokrit institutions; still it is in every respect a bgal institution, possessing the ight to sue and to be sued. Cooperative societies like this are just what its organizer, officers and members make of them.
