he MOQtrD NOOulnen OF AlntFlcd
was instituted in 1888, and has been
20 popular with the male population
of the United States, needing insur-
ance at cost, that it has grown faster
than any other fraternal order, being
now the largest fraternal insurance
order in the United States.
The Modern Woodmen of America
is fraternal benefit society, is in
government truly representative. 1t
is great fraternity, having a mem
bership of over 700, 900 members.
There are thirty three states in which
the society operates, the most health
full states of America All large
cities of population of 200, 900 are
excluded and all territory within five
miles Of the corporate limits of such
cities This exclusion renders it i'm
possible for epidemics or prevalence
of contagious diseases to cause heavy
death loss, and thus nothing may ser
iously affect the stability of the
society in its selected jurisdiction.
The benefit feature of the Modern
woodmen of America provides for the
payment of 500. $1,000. $1,000 or 5000
at death, to families of deceased mem
bers, thus providing for their widows,
orphans or other dependents. Assess
ments for the purpose of paying bene-
fits are graduated according to the
age of the person at joining, the rate
being based on his average age of ex-
p, ctancy of life by the Standard
American tables. The rate does not
increase, but remains the same, as
at the beginning, special inducements
and middle aged men.
The ordinary expenses of the local
camps are paid by quarterly dues, in
addition to the death benefit assess
ments. The amount Of our dues are
~ per year, payable quarterly.
The Modern Woodmen of America
has paid every legal ieneficiary in
full, and has faithfully relieved its
distressed members and their families.
Every law of the state and nation
has been complied with and today it
stands in the front rank of respected
and efonor.d fraternities. Its member
ship is composed of farmers. artisans
and the leading citizens of every COM
munity. We have iis camps in Colo
RADIO and a membership of over 6,oop.
Canon City Camp No. 1890 was in
stituted in December, 1899. only a
short time after Colorado had been
admitted into the jurisdiction, and
has had good healthy growth. Two
members of this camp have died.
I One WAS buried in the east, and the
other was buried in Greenwood ceme-
tery under the auspices of this camp
Our home camp has i60 members
and meets in the A.o.U.W. hall on
/ Thursday evenings.
The NJ. W. 4. has over one billion
one hundred and twenty-one million
dollars of insurance now in force.
The initiation fee is s. and the ex-
animation fee of the physician sl.25,
making a total fee of 81. 25 in all
cases. ANY rebate or reduction in this
amount is contrary to the provisions
of the society's by laws. No person
is admitted TO benefit membership in
the woodmen society until he has
been examined by physician in re-
culsr practice and found to be good
risk. All applications must be
passed upon by the head physician of
the district.

where it is milled. and ships the product
to points on the defendants line in New
England The through tarif rates on
grain and grain products from the points
Of rigin to the New England points of
destination are the same, but no right of
milling In transit is granted in the Joint
tarif.
Under a regulation Of the Lake Shore
company. one Of the parties to the tariff.
and on whose line cornplainant's mill is
located, milling in transit Is permitted
under a penalty Of one and a half cents. per
100 pounds above the rate on grain, but
defendant does not join in granting that
privilege to shippers from Western points
to points on its line In New England, and
hen grain so mlled in transit is received
by defendant II imposes an arbitrary charge
OF six cents per 100 pounds
The Commission holds that shippers
are not entitled. as matter Of right, To mill
grain in transit and forward the milled
product under the through rate in force
on the grain from the point of origin to the
place Of ultimate destination, but that,
on tho contrary, milling in transit IL a
