that they may know from bust

Protection At Cost.

The Ancient Order of United
Workmen proposes to give one or
two thousand dollars protection to
each of its members at cost. Under
the classified plan as assessments
are made in Tennessee this is vir-
tually fact. Take man of twenty
years of age, he pays one assessment
a month of 60 cents, that is $7.20
per year for one thousand dollars
protection. At that age seven men
will die each year out of one thou
sand; therefore, it takes seven thou
sand dollars to pay the deaths Oc-
curing at that age. Now, when
these men have reached the age of
forty they are required to pay 81 .O1
per month, or $12.12 per annum for
the one thousand dollars protection.
AT the age of forty ten men will die
each year out of one thousand, re-
quiring $4,000 to pay the deaths;
so by the step plan, as we have 1t,
each age bears it's own risk, which
is by far the better plan, as no one
age is living off of another. This
plan commences at 18 and includes
"a in the first rate; it then goes by
five-year steps, 25 to 30, 80 10 "a,
and so on, until the age of so has
been reached, when the rate of as
sessment per month is $1.78, or
$21.36 per annum for 1000 pro-
lection. There is no further in
crease after this. Any one becom-
ing a member of the A. o. U. W.
knows how much his assessment
will be, and can calculate exactly
what they will amount to for any
given number of years. Therefore,
we present plan that is, or should
be, acceptable to all. In addition
to the assessments levied for the
Beneficiary Fund, the Grand Lodge
of Tennessee issues four fifty-cent
assessments during the year and
the Supreme Relief Board issues
one assessment of $1.00 in each
year on full-rate members and fifty
cents on half-rate members. The
four special assessments of fifty
cents each are for the purpose of
paying expenses in the work OF
building up the Order. The Relief
Assessment is to guarantee to the
membership only twelve assess
ments during the year. This fea-
ture belongs only to the Ancient
Order of United Workmen and is
the bulwark of the Order. Through
the operation of the Relief Law
Tennessee is positively guaranteed
not more than twelve assessments
in any one year for the Beneficiary
Fund, and is the only Order that
can and does do so. We then pre-
sent to every man between the ages
of 1S and 45 a plan which, if he
will examine, is a perfect one and
one that can guarantee limited
number of assessments. 1t is open
to all between these ages, and we
desire your critical examination

A ButtO0 Era.

Brother J. H. Laden of Albany
writes: This is button era. We
respect the buttons worn by the
army veterans. We grow enthus-
iastic over the buttons which indi-
cate our political preferences. Nine
out of ten men we meet wear but
tons or badges. Brothers, do not
be ashamed to wear an A. 0. U. w
button. Remember that you belong
to a great fraternal army nearly
four hundred thousand strong. You
should glory in the fact and wear a
button to manifest your satisfaction
The ritual requires that an A. O.
U. w. button shall be presented tc
each new member. This should
never be omitted. 1t will certain,
ly please the candidates and cannot
fail to advertise the Order. The A
o. U. w. button is an emblem Of
practical fraternity. 1t is the sym.
boil of "Charity, Hope and Protec.
ton" No evil can come from the
wearing of it and much good may
result.
