The Modern W0Odmen of America.

Owing to many false ideas afloat in
regard to the order of Modern Wood
men of America. take this method OF
explaining just what this order Is.
and what it does for its members In
the first place many people are oppos-
ed TO it on religious principles, calling
il a secret society; now the Woodman
is not what anyone can call a secret
order, for there is nothing secret but
the password, and that is necessarily
kept secret for the purpose of exclud-
ing non-mem bers from the business
meetings of the order. AS to religion
the Woodmen oppose no members
religious belief. The order carries
out the idea OF the men who framed
our Constitution, i. e., no man shall
be excluded on account of his religious
principles, if he be otherwise quail
fled. The order respects all churches
and its members must be upright and
honorable. bearing no stain upon
their character. There is nothing
whatever IN the order that any religi-
Gus sect can oppose. When person
wishes to join the Woodman his name
is handed in. presented to the mem
bers and balloted upon. II he is
man whose word cannot be relied up
on or who publishes untruths, who is
a saloon keeper, or a saloon employee.
a drunkard or anyone whose character
is in anyway not upright. As to insu-
ance. each member carries a policy
either for one, two or three thousand
dollars iG ~
and three thousand dollar policy Il
the highest policy that will be given.
In this way the members have only
small assessment per year to pay and
any poor man can afford to belong to
il. The members help one another
whenever it becomes necessary. for
example, one of our members had his
leg broken, he had no one upon whom
he could depend for assistance. The
Woodmen came to him and did all
they could for him. They cared for
him and as it was getting late in the
season and his crops were still out,
they gave a helping hand and harvest
ed his crops for him. This is the not
the only case but similar ones are
every day occurrences among the
Woodmen There is nothing binding
a member TO remain a Woodman if he
wishes TO Withdraw. There i. no
VOW broken. no secrets that he can
can divulge nor any assessments that
must be paid up to certain amount.
He is left perfectly free to withdraw
at any time The order OF Modern
Woodmen is rapidly increasing in
strength every day All enterprising
men both rich and poor are becoming
members. When such men as VIM
Mckinley and VIM BRYAN uphold and
belong to it. il must be an honorable
society. When member dies his
insurance is promptly paid 70 his
beneiiciaries, and they do not have u
wait an indefinite time and be wearied
with tiresome. needless proceedings.
Hoping that this will strBighten out
the false ideas in regard to the Wood
men which have been lodged in some
peoples minds and that non-members
who know nothing whatever against
the order, will kindly refrain from
repeating untrue reports and come and
join and see for themselves, | will
close. MEMBER OF GLENwooD CAMP
