1t may be said of fraternal bene-
fcial societies that their strength
and usefulness, like that of armies
and navies. depend in great meas
ure upon discipline, obedience TO
orders and confidence of the rank
and file in the honesty and ability
of their officers Time and again
has this been demonstrated by
those pioneers Of fraterna beneficial
societies, organized without expert
ence and without data. Their whole
plan of operation was "a matter Of
guess work on the part OF a few hon-
est men-men whose love for that
which WAS noble prompted them to
devote their time aud energy to the
upbuilding ofinstitutions calculated
to provide means for the protection
OF the widows and orphans of their
mem bers. But their plan was un-
tried and uncertain, and time alone
could tell what their future would
he.
In those days the Orders were
surrounded hy unfavorable infiu-
ences. a, a result OF which they
were subjected to great deal of
ridicule and prejudice. and their
enemies made use of every oppor-
tunity to create distrust among
those who felt inclined to encourage
them. So it was that IN the early
years of their existence they aad
many obstacles thrown i'll their way,
and frequently 'hSconragine condi-
tions had To be met. But the mem
bers. through discipline, obedience
to orders and confidence in their Of
ticers. presented sufficient strength
to fore" every enemy 10 retreat.
Loyalty they bore al"fi the glorious
banner. while the cause of iraternaI
protection moved gr'tndly on.
After the first few years the Orders
began with rapid strides to spread
throughout the land. Each succeed
ling month added thousands of new
members, but as they grew larger
and covered more territory, they
became correspondingly harder to
manage because different localities,
distant from each other, were gem
orally surrounded by different con-
ditions. The various States have
various laws affecting fraternal So
cieties To greater or less extent.
In many cases the makeup and
habits of the people were different,
so that rules, requirments and laws
of the Order suitable for one section
were often, to say the least, very un-
desirable for another These and
other causes frequently gave rise to
delicate questions, the proper adjust
ment of which required the greatest
care and good judgment.
But the governing powers have
always been equal to every emer-
gency and from time to time found

weather service says that frequent
showers in the central and southern
counties, and also in the northern
counties, lying along the lake shore,
has interfered with having and harvest
work during the past week, although
no serious damage has been reported.
Generally the weather conditions of
the week have been very favorable to
crop growth, and corn, oats, potatoes
and pastures show a marked improve
ment over their condition one week
ago. In some of the interior counties
the rains were heavy enough to do
some damage to crops on low lands,
and slight damage to hay is also re-
ported. The wet weather has inter-
fered somewhat with corn, potato and
beet cultivation. In the southern half
of the state wheat crtting is well ad-
vanced and the grain is in shock in
most fields Threshing has commenced
In few of the southern counties, and
very light crop is reported, although
the quality is exceptionally good.
