We are not given TO kicking. IL i
very seldom that we KNOCK" about
any proposition, for we wish to 90
through this life in an amicable way
but we pause right here to remark
and our language is plain-that Tom
orion, the veteran dealer in cereals,
coal and corn cobs up at Lancaster,
is not now and never was the founder
bt or connected with the Bugie. Mr..
orion is 4 good man and we like him
a right smart bit, but glory comes be-
fore affection. and just because he
wears good clothes, can afford a trip
to West Baden in the month Of May
and sports cottage at Ainsworth
Springs, he cannot rob us Of our little
job Of glory Mr.. Orion Is, as we
have said before, a good man and a
good grain buyer, but when Il would
come to establishing and editing a
family paper like the Bugle, why,
orion wouldn't know any more about
ii than turtle dove knows Of perdi-
tion. Anybody can buy grain, or at
tend e. dress ball at the county seat.
but it takes brains like 'ournn to
conduct a journal like the Dugle, and
the public should have recognized at
once that Tom WASH I at the back of
this enterprise. We sometimes think
that orion has not claimed to be the
founder of this paper, but such a re-
port reached our ears the other day,
and as he has never denied it, we
must take it for granted that aside
from success in grain buying he wish
es to become famous in the literary
world. Orion is a good business man.
a splendid citizen, shrewd dealer,
and a fast friend, but when it comes
to claiming that he is the author of
the brainy things in these columns
he presents the gall Of an old-time
politician. No, stree. Bob we are the
founder Of this paper and it IS US who
edits its columns and not even Lam
caster grain buyer can confiscate our
glory as sports Of war, for glory is
the very essence of our existence and
Bngle glory is of the choicest brand.

WOODMfN NOTES.

The Modren Woodmen of Camp No.
1861, St. Paul. Mimi, have decided to
erect camp hall at an expense of
about $1,000.
An item for Woodmen: "a man in
Tennessee got four cords OF wood,
three gallons Of honey and five coons
from a single tree.
Kansas is always original. A Royal
Neighbor Camp blacx-balled two Mod
ern Woodmen, applicants for member
ship, because they smoked cigarettes.
During the past biennial term the
Royal Neighbors OF America paid
1927 .916.s5 in death benefits and at
the close Of the term had balance in
the benefit fund of $50, 463 IA
The average age OF the 100000
member of the Royal Neighbors of
America, the ladies auxiliary of the
Modern Woodmen society, is 80 years
months and days.
During the next two years the
Modern Woodmen society will use in
its official correspondence over $780,
900 letter heads. These are lithogra-
pied. Over 100000 envelopes will
also be used.
The Modern Woodmen OF Miuneapo-
lis, Mimi, of whom there are over
1900, are discussing proposition to
consolidate all the Camps of the
Society now operating in that city,
making the largest Woodmen camp in
the world.
The Modern Woodmen society levi
ed eleven assessments last year,
making the cost of insurance per ST.
600 annually 81 95-the very cheap
est furnished by any fraternal benefit
society or life insurance company
operating in the United States.
The Modern Woodmen OF jackson
county, Mo-. carry sl0,S01,000 in
Woodmen insurance Kansas City is
located in this county. The Wood
men of Hennepin county, Mimi, in
which the city of Minneapolis is locat-
ed, carry $9.06S. 600 insurance.
On the first of this year according
to Head Clerk Halves report, there
were 1908 mem bers of the Modern
Woodmen society carrying $500 poll
cies; 1S6, 30S members carrying ST.
600 policies; 25S. 122 members carry
ing $4,000 policies, and sc, $50 mem
bers CARRYING IS, 900 policies
The six states in which members of
the Modern Woodmen society on the
first of the present year were carrying
the largest amount of insurance were;
Illinois, 1892, pol, 900; Iowa, $121,-
627, 800; Kansas, $95. go. 900; Mis-
souri,. $S5, 069 500; Wisconsin, $79,-

died, with no life insurance at all.
An officer Of fraternal accident
society illustrates the prompt methods
of his society by the following state
ment: Zone OF our members lately
fell from the roof of tive-story
building and a check for the amount
os his certificate was handed him
from the second story window on his
way down"
Out Of 537, S5S insured members of
the Modern Woodmen society, at the
close of Iast year, 2l,S64 were 80
years of age, the largest number of
mem bers at any one age, and there
were only 5,564, 50 years of age.
The mum her Of members at all ages
over so constantly diminishes, until
at the age of SO there is but one mem
Der carrying a 81, 900 certificate.
In 1899 the Modern " oodmen socie-
ty gained l0l,873 Benefit members,
carrying 1869, 745, 900 insurance. In
the same year 1866 new local Camps
or lodges were chartered. In the
year 1900 these figures were exceeded
the net gain IN benefit members being
109, 497, carrying S17S, 342, 800 insur-
ance, and the net gain in number Of
local Camps, or lodges, being 1876.
The outlook for fraternal insurance
is certainly bright, says the Fraternal
Army Banner. Its benefits have been
50 generally diffused that the preju-
dices agains, it are fast dying out.
Indeed in many communities, the
former condition has been reversed
and the uninsured man is now the ex-
ception rather than the rule. In such
places the usual question asked of a
man who has recently passed away is
not, WAS he insured?" but, "How
much insurance did he carry?'
As the result of quarrel, Robert
Wright, of Camp No. 5149, NJ. w. A.,
New Albany, Ind, was shot and killed
by Ben Shadley on July 10th. Mr..
Shadley carried Woodmen certiti-
cate for 81, 600, payable to his wife.
j. A. Brady of the Modern Woodmen
Camp at Rathdrum, Idaho, was also
shot on July 9Th, dying July 18th.
His assailant was an escaped lunatic.
Mr.. Brady was probate Judge for
Kootenai county. His Woodmen GER
tificate for $4,000 is payable to his
children.
Fraternal beneficiary associations
have made it possible for poor man
to be as independent as regards his
dependents as his rich neighbors,
says the Court of Honor. The young
man, without bank account, but
with young wife and helpless little
ones dependent on his health, strength
and success in life land beneficiary
certificate in case of death), occupies
relatively the same position as the
gray-haired retired business man who
has devoted his long life to money
making. as far as providing for his
dependents are concerned.

TWO RAGGED GAMES.
Lancaster Ball Team Wins Game and
Loses One Last Week.

The Lancaster baseball aggregation
took part in pair of ragged contests
last week One was with Livingston
on Wednesday and the other with
Cuba City on Friday. Both contests
came off at the fair grounds in this
city and were hardly what might be
termed interesting games.
Livingston came to Lancaster load
ed with a battery that were old hands
at the business The home team was
unable to fathom the siants dealt out
to them and when the game was over
the story was: Livingston Is; Lam
caster ?.
Cuba City came to town on Friday.
and the quality of baseball dished up
to the crowd in attendance was eau
ton. It was in reality a smuggling
match and every man up to baS en-
deavored to pound the ball farther
into the feld than his predecessor.
As a consequence runs were plentiful
and 4 whole chapter of errors are re-
corded. The score resulted as fol-
lows:
