COMMITTEES At WORK

WILL RAISE 100000 BALANCE
Meeting With Success in the Canvass,
and Within Few Days Will Probably
Be Ready to Announce That the
Church Federation of America Will
Come to MarshslItown to Locate.

Two committees appointed by the
Commercial Club started out TINS
morning to close up the work IN Sc
curing pledges of insurance for the
Church Federation of America, the
fraternal organization from Vail that
has signified it's willingness to open
it's general offices in this city providing
half million of insurance is pledged.
The committees in the field. which VIII
worl, with unceasing energy until the
deal is closed, are composed OF "A. u.
MeelSer, George r. Norris and =. ;.
Clifford and r. E. Sears, l. S. Willard
and F. Aubrey Smith.
Tie committees feel that they Will
have. no trouble whatever in raising
the amount AS stated in these COL
arms Saturday 100000 worth of IN
surance has already been pledged by
citizens on a paper circulated by Sec
rotary r. E. Sears. The remaining
100000 will naturally come harder,
and be in smaller amounts, but there
are few who are taking less than
50 900. and that only means the names
of $50 people.
AS will be seen each of the commit
tees contains practical fraternal IN
sur:lnce man, each deputy OF the
Modern Woodmen of America, which is
the largest fraternal insurance order
in the country. Their practical eN-
perience in explaining the general
methods of doing business will be ben
eficial to the committees in their
work.
The Church Federation of America
is an Iowa institution, formed by
church men, for the purpose of extend
ing insurance to preferred risks, pre- :
ferred because of the standard of NOR
atty Of it's members. A pastor must
recommend each member, as to his
moral standing, and in this way the
company proposes to get a class OF
members upon which risks are worth
assuming. The company does not
accept risk for over $4,000. and the
take the insurance. BY subscribing the
applicant, at this time, benefits Mar
shalltown, as the company can not be
secured unless the half million is
pledged. The stipulations of member
ship are not binding for more than a
year. SO that in accepting the insurance
one is pledginy the amount of his dues
and assessments to secure an enter
prise that can not help but be greatly
beneficial to the city, and ole that will.
in time, become an institution of great
magnitude.

LEGISLATION SUGGESTED.
Naval Battalion Regarded as Not
Within Provisions Of Militia Bill.

The general STAFF of the army has re-
ported that the Naval Battalion Of the
District of Columbia National Guard does
not come within the provisions of the Dick
militia bill making provision for the arm
ing and equipment Of the organized militia
Of the United States under certain condi-
tons. The general staff has advised the
enactment of legislation to more clearly
define the legal status of the organize
ton. AS an integral part of the National
Guard of the District it was held by some
that the Naval Battalion bore the same
relation to the War Department and was
entitled to the same benefits of the Dick
bill as other militia organisations. 1t is
held by the general STAFF. however, that
the battalion is more properly part of
the naval reserve and should be provided
for by the Navy Department.
