a Comparison.

Within the last 40 years SO old
line companies, with their great re-
serves, have failed. Their total as
sets amounted to $100,365,3 1893, and
after passing through the usual re-
ceiver's mill, only % per cent. of
this sum. or II little over S22, ,O00,-
600, has found its way into the
hands of the policy holders. Truly
this is robbing on grand scale,
so grand that it challenges the ad
miration of every Captain Kidd
who sails the old line sea of insur-
amce. The Ancient Order of United
Work men, now 80 years of age,
has disbursed to its beneticiarieS
over $S2, 100000 without the aid Of
any receiver except the one elected
by the mem bership, and at com
paratively small expense. But,
says the doubter, it is only a Lodge,
the,e is no stability about it. Let
us look and see. On January 1st,
1897, the New York Life had $685.,
$40, ,94S; the Mutual, of New York,
had $917,930,O11; the Equitable,
of New York, had 1915, ,102,070,
while the A. o U W. had $685.
$4,000 of insurance in force.
The three companies first given
are the largest in the world, and
are the only ones exceeding the
business of our Order, all the re-
naming companies having less
business. Now do you think, MI.
Douhter, that an institution which
in 30 years, with but little financial
effort to obtain members, has come
so near to equaling the three oldest
and largest old line companies,
who have spent millions to secure
business, is worthy of your attent-
ion. Recollect, too, that the Mu-
tual Life, of New York, is 25 years
older than the A. 0. U. w. In a
few years more this grand fraterni-
ty, increasing steadily year after
year, will distance all competitors
and leave the "Big 3" far behind,
despite the ''fraternal politics
which some Of them are now offer
ing to the public. Our plan is
safe, just and equitable, one that
not only makes promise but is
able to keep it. You are invited
to investigate il, stranger, should

Relief Granted.

Nevada JurISd1ctlOn rellef cdll,
which was presented to the Supreme
Relief Board which met in Chicago
the 9th of last month, has been
granted in full. The entire amount
of relief granted to the various
Jurisdictions is trlfle over 1888,
600. As there was surplus of
over 100000 left in the Relief Fund
from Relief Call No. Is, levied in
1898, this deducted from the sum
allowed at the last session OF the
Board leaves about $498,000 which
must be furnished by the several
Jurisdictions on Call No. 10. Ne
vada's proportion of this amount,
calculated on The basis of the mem
bership on June Both, 1898, is
: 1888, or an amount equal to vi 80
for each full-rate member and 65c.
for each half-rate mem ber in good
standing on the above date in this
Jurisdiction. One dollar of the
$1.30 levied by Call No. l9 on No
venber 1st, 1898, has been collected,
leaving 30c. for full-rate members
and 15c. for half-rate members yet
to be collected. This amount is
payable Immediately, but the offic
ial call Of the Supreme Relief
Beard was not received in time to
make the levy in this Jurisdiction
in the call issued February 1st. II
will have to be deferred until
March unless the Grand Lodge FL
nance Committee can see its way
clear to pay the same out of the
Grand Lodge General Fund. This
fund is in good condition, but the
committee will have to figure on
the expense OF holding Grand
Lodge session this year, also the
expense of promulgating the new
" amended constitution.
The amount OF relief granted
Nevada Jurisdiction, when received,
which will he shortly, will enable
Nevada to pay up all outstanding
claims
The demands upon the War Re-
lief Fund, which is controlled by
the Supreme Relief Board, have
been less than expected, and quite
considerable amount remains in
this fund. The Relief Board rec
ommends that this amount he
turned into the General Relief
Fund.

The Jurisdiction of North Dakota
changed from the level plan to the
classified plan January 1st, 1899.
So did oklahoma. There will be
some friction at first but in time
this will all pass away as the new
plan becomes better understood.
The Jurisdictions and the members
in the higher ages are most fortunate
in having the change made this
early in their history. The change
being made now insures them low

ance Of their lives. Which the level
plan could not do The members
whose age places them in the higher
aged group brings them to higher
cost than on the level plan, should
before leaving the A. o. U. w. go
to some old line agent and see what
he can obtain $4,000 insurance oil
them for. He should examine the
level rates which gives the actual
cost rate at each age.
