IMPORTANT BENEFIT DECISION
Supreme Court Lays Down a Prece-
dent In Such Suits

dent In Such Suits.
An important decision was rendered in
the Supreme Court Of the United States
yesterday relating To the conditions under
which beneficial society insurance must
be conducted.
Mrs. Eugene KalUiski sued the Knights
OF Pythias TO recover the value of an in-
dorsement rank certificate held by her
husband, a. Chile Ka!uiski, aud the court
awarded her So 600. The judgment was
affirmed by the court Of appeals for the
fifth circuit, AMI the order appealed thence
TO the Supreme Court OF the United States.
The opinion was read by Mr.. Justice
Brown. The facts were that Kaluiski
paid all his dues to the insurance branch
OF the order. but was delinquent by year
in his lodge dues Upon this state of
facts, it was claimed that under the rules
OF the order he had forfeited his insur-
ance certificate.
A rule OF the order required the keeper
OF records and seals Of the lodge To notify
the endowment rank officials whenever
member became delinquent. The board OF
| control of the order had decided that a
member in arrears of lodge dues, whose
| delinquency had been reported to the
| eudO Owment rank, did rot forfeit his in
/ surance certificate. Justice Brown said
| tEat members OF the order had a right 70
| rely upon that ruling, and the officials Cf
the order should not ask KaIuiski to be
! wiser than themselves. and TO see a for
| feiture where they did not.
The law OF the case. too, said the Justice,
was correctly laid down in the ruling Of
the board of coutrul referred TO, that
where certificate holder paid his in-
| surance dues and they were accepted by
! the officials the latter could not set up the
! default of one Cf their own number in d
| matter devolving upon him. as defense
| 10 the collection of the certificate. The
| Judgment Of the court of appeals in favor

Shortly after the organization of the

GROWTH OF DAIRY INTERESTS.

Commissioner Boardman Says Farmers
Find 1t the More Profitable.
DIES MONIES, Aug. 2.-The growth of
dairy interests in Iowa, in the face of
the general depression in the last two or
three years, has been remarkable. State
Dairy Commissioner Boardman declares
that dairying has been the only line of
agricultural operation that has been
fairly profitable in the state, and that
comparisons of prices will show that
dairy products have not lost over half as
much in value as other farm products.
The result has been an immense develop.
ment of dairying and it is going on this
year at greater rate than ever before.
According to Mr.. Boardman's sta
tistics the average value of farm prod
ucts has fallen from 40 to 80 per cent;
but the value of butter and cheese has
decreased only about half this. One re-
suit is new interest in cheese manu-
facture. Since the passage by congress
OF the filed cheese bill the commission
er's office has been besieged daily by ap-
plications for information on the sub
Ject OF cheese making. Heretofore
Iowa, while it is now the first butter
state in the union, has not made enough
! cheese to supply its own demand In
various parts Of the state, however, ar
rangements are being made to put in
cheese factories, and indications are
that the industry is entering on an era
OF rapid growth.
