Changes in Assessment Rates--NeW
 Glass for Members Over 55.
 The Ancient Order United Workmen has been in existence as -fraternal beneficial order for thirty five years and is now the oldest organization Of that character in the country. It has paid during that time to widows and orphans of members over S13O, 900, and is now disbursing over $lO,0OO,- 900 yearly. The order has a member ship of over 463,00O.
 Realizing that the members as a body desire not term but whole life protection, the supreme lodge of the order has adopted rates. both classi fled and level. which introduce new features in the way of options, pafdr Up certificates. etc. which have been recommended for adoption to the sey- eral state Jurisdictions, The supreme lodge has recognized the fact that ill order to place the order uppnsa sound financial basis, it. is essential that er- cry member should pay the cost of his protection and that the burden which the younger members of the order have been bearing was too uneven. The new or proposed rates make only g slight increase for all memuers to 5 years of age, but from that age there is a marked advance. which wlil prob ably excite some criticism by those af- fected until fully understood. The new rates are in place of the old rates and not in addition, as has been assert ed. The supreme lodge has provided a number of options. The details have been printed in an official circular sent out from the office of the suprene ! master workman in St Louis
 Each grand lodge. the state jurisdic- ton, regulates the amount of the lodge assessments and the supreme lodge has no voice in levying them or fixing the amount, except that certain sum is added to each assessment for the guar antee fund. which is held by the su prenne lodge.
 The assessments in Connecticut are now seven year, but at the next meeting of the grand lodge, to be held in Bridgeport in September, tI4.e sub ject of levying eight assessments 3 year will be considered.
 On all deaths of members over 5: years old, the supreme lodge feim- bufses the lodge from the guarantee fund, a portion of the assessment, based on the proportion the death bears to the expectancy, according to aetuaries' tables. At age TO-, this re- ir,bursement amounts to $45O per S1.- GOO.
 Members feeling the burden of $2.0O0 insurance too much are permitted to pay on $1,0oS, and interest on the as- sessments for the other 1000 at per cent, the unpaid assessments to remain as lien on the certificates.

Some Germans, who are particular, have their hats made to or der on this account
 "I sell hats all over the United States, and I find that heads run bigger in the west than anywhere else. The Chicago man has the biggest head in America. The southerner has the smallest.
