On January ! the Texas division had In
good standing 1893 members. Some of these.
however, have allowed their policies tp
lapse, but we do not believe that the per-
centage of those who do not renew viii he
very large this being evidenced by the
number of renewals being received every
day.
Members of the Texas division received
Dement'S to the amount of s12S2.91 during
the month OF December. and have q, ia,
recelVeu Sy64l in January. with several
claims to hear from that were acted upon
at me last meeting Of the National board
me National association paid in the
United States during December St5.674o4
which included two death losses.
since December we have admitted into
the Texas division forty-four new member,
ana now have fifteen applications in the
hands of the National board for considera-
ton
The association at large took in 1884 new
members during the month of December.
and there were 1920 having certificates in
force on the LIST of January. 1898
In concluding this report / would ask
that any member who hae no; sent notiti-
cation either of a change of his address or
of the firm that he represents. if there
has been change, that he lose no time
In doing so. If he is not conversant with |
the constitution and bylaws that he either
secure copy OF same from his post sccre- |
tary or that he drop me a postal card and |
thereby insure his receiving one AT the
same time would suggest that he ask |
for a supply of application blanks and that |
he assist in every way possible the efforts |
being made BY the board of directors to in |
crease the membership. There is not only |
the good of the order at stake but some
friend of his who is on one of the sides |
referred to in the contest might have to
produce" when one application would |
have saved his bacon
The National board requests that the |
of the Texas division advise them
through this office as to whether they are |
satisfied with the action of the last National |
in selecting Omaha for the next |
place of meeting. II YOU have any objec-
lions please state wh;E YOU would consider |
a more desirable point for the meeting. |
