Modern woodmen of America.

One day last week there appeared simuha-
n.ously the Chicago, ST. Louie and Kansas
City daily papers Il paragraph calling attention
TO the fact that the death claims allowed by the
Board Of Directors, Modern Woodmen Of Amer
lea for the month OF January. 1908. were sG35 e25
or sllO CO. 50 IN excess OF the receipts for the
month, and this cited strong argument
in favor OF the adoption Of the proposed increase
In rates pending for consideration In the ST
Louis camps of the society.
While the figures gives are correct. they are
of no significance whatever. where the facts are
known, say the officers. The collections each
month are uniform. while the death claims al
lowed by the directors vary considerably each
month.
That the amount reported allowed for Jan
uary OF this year Is away above normal Is
proven by the fact that the average allowance by
sls7 sis less than the total death claims al
lowed for the month referred TO. IL should slso
be borne in mind that the deaths on which
claims are allowed in any month do not
necessarily occur In that month"; but the month
" allowance may be made up OF claims which
have been pending for several months
The utter inconscquence of the statement a.
an argument. may be seen from the fact that
during the month OF March. 1902 the receipts
s5l3. s12. while for the same month the d.
fectors allowed death claims amounting to 1875
900 SIG. 900 in excess of the receipts for that
month. Yet Notwithstanding this abnormal rec
ord for that month. the society paid its
death Losses for the entire year with but eleven
assessments and these eleven assessments prni
duced sio00o0 more than sufficient to pay, the
total losses for the year. ''f- =
