Division No. z, City.

Division No. T. this city, held one Of
its most pleasant and entertaining meet
ings since its organization ON the z5th
ult. Brother Matt. Allen, as the presid-
ing officer, lis getting to the front as an
organizer. Our ways and means COM
nittee, under the able management Of
Brother James Lyons, has made good
progress. The following members took
part on the program at our last meet
ing: Brother Cady, song and instru-
mental solo; Brother Charles d. Lyons,
song; Brother Hoban, song; Brother
Fee]y, song, and Brother Smith, a short
talk. John Lyons looks after the young
er members and is an excellent critic on
parliamentary law. That Is what we
need in all OF our societies to make
them a success. Brother James Casey
made a business trip in the Interest Of
the division. JiIa Is hustler, and am
informed is going to make the wood fly
this year. Hard times don't scare him.
Brother J. c. D'Keeffe, Of division No.
s. was present by request, to read
paper prepared by him on Lie fnsur-
ance. The paper YVES a very exhaustive
one and showed considerable research
on his part. The A. O. H. was CONF
mended by him Tor the good work they
had done In the past, and he had No
difficulty In convincing the members
present that many changes were neces-
sary to place our insurance department
On a sound and enduring basis. Tho
pitiable condition of some Of the lead
ing fraternities who have operated on
the death assessment plan, thereby Gre
ating liabilities, with NO assets to meet
them, on account of The members In
creasing In arearage, was death to SUCH
organizations. The recent circular is
SUED by State Insurance Secretary
O'Slaughnessy also came under the ban
of criticism. Immediately after the dis
cussion of the question Brother o Keeffe
was rendered rising vote OF thanks.
Nearly ali the mem bers OF No. pledged
themselves to attend the next meeting
OF No. s, on Wednesday evening, March
10. If other divisions would take UP tho
insurance problem for discussion, by the
time OF ONT next convention the A.. y.
H., would defy competition, from all
fraternities, as there rs NO Better rlsk
for an insurance policy than o. healthy
freshman.
The insurance question Is a matter We
should all he interested IN. 1t Is Z. ques-
ticn that cannot be TOO we'll considered.
especially by the young man who Is JUST
setting out for life. More particularly
If he has a. dependant on him for sup
port and is obliged to rely upon his
labor for maintenance. TO such persons
the tax OF IS or $40 year, when in
heath, is OF little consequence. But to
them an income OF 81 or IS week when
sick would be OF incalculable benefit.
Every man should provide for his wife
and family. Most of our poverty today
is the cause of neglect on our part.
Don't put off what can lie done today.
Young men, you who are not yet MEM
beIs of our order, will bear In mind that
there is no cheaper insurance than that
OF the A. o. H. Nor Is there a better
fraterna organization in existence, You
who are eligible should avail yourselves
at once in some one Of the various d.
visions. II.
