LAFAYETTE IN AMERICA.
of the Noble Frenchman's
Visit In 1924.

Visit In 1924.
Lafayette's arrival in America was
the signal for one prolonged. brilliant
Fourth of July celebration. The pupils
Of the institutions throughout the coun-
try were prominent participants in the
festivities in his honor.
a little Maryland girl who, after
much drilling, had mastered a poem
with which to greet him, beginning
Welcome, welcome. Lafayette,
Thee we never can forget,
was not permitted to get beyond the
second line Of her recitation, the baby
lips being sealed at this point by an
ELUSIVE kiss from the enthusiastic
Frenchman.
OF the complaisance which charac'
terized him during his progress through
the states an old lady, now a resident
of Baltimore, who joined in singing
odes to him in Norfolk, Va, gives the
following illustration:
Locks of hair instead of autographs
were then fashionable as souvenirs,
and as we passed in review before him
little girl at my side ventured timidly
20 say, General Lafayette, will you
please give me a piece of your hair?
In an instant the red wig was in his
hand, but the terrified suppliant, to
whom he would have presented it
thankful to escape with her own scalp,
had disappeared in the crowd"
The hero's personal appearance was
never, even in his palmiest days, his
strongest point, and with the added
pounds which had come with years, the
limp from the wound received during
the battle of the Brandywine and,
above all, the disfguring red wig, he
was scarcely a model Of manly beauty.

FIR ATERNAL SOCIETIES WILL
COMBINE FOR PROTECTION

\ movement has been inaugurated
among the fraternal orders represent
ed in Rock Island To form a combine,
the object of which shall be to pro-
tect the principle which is back of all
the societies from any attacks which
may be made upon them.
The fraternal order has always
been the Legitimate prey of the old
line insurance agent. For many years
there was much reason for the at
tackS thus made. This time has pass
ed. however. and nowadays fraternaI
orders as a class are doing business
on n sale basis. one which makes it
possible for them to have logical hope
of permanency. Nearly three-fourths
of the orders now represented in Rock
Island are on the reserve fund basis
and legislation has been taken by
many which practically places them
on the basis of old line insurance as
regards solidity.
The doing away with the cause has
not done away with the effect and it
is claimed there are many agents for
old line companies who seek to get
business by running down and de-
lnouncing as insecure the policies IS
sued by the fraternalS. The more re-
liable class of insurance agents do
not indulge in this sort of tactics, but
those who do are a constant source of
annoyance to the fraternal workers.
Many of the leading insurance or
ders of the northwest are represented
here. and they could organize effectu-
ally for this purpose. Several of the
leaders locally have talked the propo-
sition over and it is the present in
tention to call "A meeting of the local
fraternal leaders and consider the
