Some Figures.

In an interview with aFargo reporter
recently Grand Recorder Moore Of the
A. o. U. w. in speaking ofthe progress
of the order in this state said:
"During the month just passed, the
records of my office have been care
fully gone over, and on September
Goth, we had in North Dakota the fol-
lowing membership ut the following
ages:
eighteen to "a years, 1882 to 80
years, 1874; 80 to "a years, l,142; 81 to %
years, 1909; 40 to "A years, 1877; As to
40 years, 719; 50 years and over 257,
making q grand total membership Of
G,3l1 in the state.
"About 400 Of the membership are
half rate members, but for the sake Of
simplicity I will treat them all as full
rate members in making this COMPARE
son Taking this number IS the basis
of figuring for the year 1893 up to this
time we flnd that with ten assessments
we have raised e63,l1O, and gives us a
surplus on hand at this time of about
5000. Had we been working on the
classified plan all the year we wonld
have raised under that plan on six as
sessments the sum Of e68.427.72 or an
excess of s5,3l7.72 above what we did
raise on the ten level assessments. It
will thus be seen that six classified
assessments would have given us a sur
plus at this time Of upwards Of $4,000.
These figures will furnish food for re.
