The Value OF the Lodge.

When it is considered that the
enormous business done by the
recognized Fraternal Beneficiary
Orders for the year 1899, as shown
by the official reports to the Ma
tional Fraternal Congress, is carried
on under fifty separate and distinct
managements, the per capita ex-
pense is marvelously low. This is
made possible only through the
Lodge system.
Would that we could bring every
member to a full appreciation of
the value of the Lodge as a factor
in minimizing the general expenses
of the Order. Too many of our
mem bers regard the Order as sim
ply an insurance organization, and
look upon the Lodge as the fraternal
clearing house.
The subordinate Lodge or tent
is what we make it. 1t must be
fraternal and social. There are
sick to be cared for, distress to be-
relieved, the dead to be given fra
ternal burial. When the local
Lodge neglects to meet these de
mands that are incumbent upon
every member in every Order, the
members thereof are paving the
way for a condition of things which
will bring the outside world to re-
gard our work as devoid of the
elements that characterize worthy
fraternal and social organization--

The Modern Woodmen of Ameri-
ca when eight years of age had as
heavy death rate as it has to-day,
so with the Knights of Maccabees
and so with the Independent Order
of Foresters, but by the expenditure
of large sums of money they have
been enabled to keep that rate
down 10 about what it was when
they were about eight years OF age;
but the promoters and managers
of these institutions do not begin to
assert that even with the expendi-
ture of large sums of money they
can continue to keep down their
death rate for another similar pc
r;od from this date.-F. A. Fatken-
buro. IN the June Pacific Woodman

First-Every member of the
Order is enjoined to hand in list
of the names of eligible men in his
vicinity.
Second-Each Lodge in the
county appoints an extension-of-
the-order committee of five active
members. They make out one COM
plete list of names from the men,
bers' lists and talk to as many as
possible of the eligibles about the
A. o. U. w.
Third-The committees and the
District Deputies and Grand Lodge
officers living in the country from
the Extension Committees AS
sociation of Alameda County," with
Chairman and Secretary.
Fourth-From this association
is formed an executive committee
composed of the Grand Lodge Off
GERS, the Chairman, Secretary and
all the District Deputy Grand
Master Workmen of the county.
This committee meets about every
three weeks.
Fifth-The Special Deputy works
in all the Lodges in a district at
one time-not one Lodge at time
indiscriminately.
Sixth-The lists of "eligibles"
are sent to the Secretary of the as
sociation, who mails a personal
letter and other valuable literature
to each other. This is followed in
due time by visit from the spec
ial deputy in company with some
Brother.
Seventh-The association holds
general meetings every two months
in the district about to be canvassed
by the Special Deputy. Thus there
is concerted and united effort by all
the Lodges in the county on one
district at time.
The association makes free use
of pen and ink in frequent personal
letters to each member of the ex-
tension committees and to each of
the Lodges.
Through the courtesy of the
Grand Lodge the association is pub
fishing very valuable literature for
distribution, and the motto of the
association is:

The Grand Lodge A. o. U. w. is
contemplating putting another or
ganization in the field in a short
time. This should be done at the
earliest possible moment. Other
Jurisdictions are spending thous-
ands of dollars to increase their
membership, and the old line COM
panies are spending more than all
the Fraternal Orders. There is no
reason why Nevada Jurisdiction
should not double its mem bership
during the next year. Financially
the Order is well off and can afford
to put some money into extension
work.
