WORKMEN NOW HAVE RESERVE.
Supreme Lodge Awards Prosperous Lodges
the Care of Reserve Accommodations.

DOVER, July 2:-Delaware members
of the big insurance order, the Ancient
Order of United Wo1kmen, are jubi
liant over some news received from
Toronto, Canada, where the Supreme
Lodge has just concluded its biennial
session. The news is to the effect tn at
the prosperous jurisdictions are to be
awarded the custody of their own re-
serve accumulations.
Delaware's share of the reserve is
now $26, 900, and the Grand Lodge of
Delaware, will therefore, get this fund
at once, or as soon as the Grand
Lodge can decide upon the trusteeship
of the fund for investment at the high
est possible rate in a channel guaran-
teeing safety. The fund will in few
years, it is expected, amount to be-
tween $780, 900 and 500, 900, and will all
be held by the Delaware officiary of
the order for investment within this
State. Such a change in the manage
ment of the big order which pays mil
lions in benefits every year through out
the United States and Canada, will
tend largely to restore confidence
everywhere among its membership.
Another ect of the Supreme LODGE.
which will be thankfully received by
the thirty-two lodges in Delaware is
the one doing away with the collection
from the Grand Lodge of a Guaranty
Fund after October 1. This Guaranty
Fund, established really to guaran tee
the beneficiary payments of $4,000 and
81, 900 at death in other States, where
high death rate caused slow payment
on the part of the State Grand Lodges
now shows deficit of $1,000, 900. In
lieu of the Guaranty Fund the mem
bers will simply pay off this deficit at
the rate of ten cents per month for a
few months. Delaware's contribution
being $500 per month, while that oi
Kansas, six times as large a member
ship, will be 81 800. The removal oi
the Guaranty Fund will be relief to
the otherwise prosperous order.

HIGH SCHOOL coMMeNcEMeNrLAsr WEEK
Everybody Seemed Well Pleased With the
Program Which rinclpaI Burdette Arranged

The Commencement Exercises of the
Smyrna High School last Wednesday
evening passed off most successfu ully,
and the excellent program which was
rendered has been the subject of many
complimentary remarks. Tue Opera
House was crowded to the doors de-
spite the summer heat. The class of
1906 in cap and gown, Principal Bur
dette, Vice Principal Pontz, and the
Board of School Directors occupied the
stage. Rev. A. W. Lightbourne, of
Middletown, the speaker of the oc-
casion, and Rev. DIR. Watt also oc-
cupied the platform. The program as
published last week was gone through
with without flaw. The musical part
of the program was especially fine and
was possibly the best ever rendered at
a High School Commencement. The
duet of Messrs. j. E. Hoffecker and L.
M. Price was applauded to an encore
as was also the q9artette of ]. E. Hof-
fecker, L. NJ. Price, w. o. Hoffecker
and E.. L. Pontz. The High School
chorus singing also showed meritorious
effort and was finely rendered. Miss
Florence Lurty as valedictorian and
Miss Ethel FAIRIES as salutatorian made
good impression. The address OF
Rev. Lightbourne was not eloquent
but was plain talk on Education
full of some good advice. All in all
the Exercises will be remembered as
one of the best ever given under Prin-
cipal Burdette. The program was as
follows:
