The Odd Fellows Mutual Aid asso
citation of Missouri has decided to allow
the state insurance commissioner to
close out the organization in view of its
EN- barrassed financial condition.

that large proportion of the assessment will
be collected and applied to the claims against the
association. 1t is believed that every man who
can will pay his full assessment. and those who
can not will pay part of it, SO that the officers
will be able to cancel the larger proportion Of
the indebtedness.
The association was organized in 1863 At the
time of the decision to close it affairs it had
1879 members. During it's existan it dis
tributed about S630,OO0 among the families of
deceased members. The society's Indebtedness
amounts to about $50, 600 There are no assets,
