INSURANCE FEATURES.

The value Of the Insurance feature of the
Knights Of Columbus has now been so proved
that there is no longer the danger that at first
faced the organization, OF difficulty from that
source The system Of rates adopted recently
and now IN force is regarded by insurance men
generally as nearly perfect as it is possible to
get fraternal insurance. The officers Of the So
ciety assure all members who have taken
policies OF a certain payment of the face value.
This was not certain in the early days OF the
order as now. The present system is the
called step rate" increasing every year I'D 10
the age of sixty, after which age IT becomes a
level rate for life. There are now some 5000
insured members. The total liabilities are S65-
100000. most OF which is represented by $1,000
policies. though the recent addition OF $1,000
and $1,000 policies has attracted attention TO
the larger risks. The surplus to-day VIII be
reported at the convention $2.7OO0OO. as
against reserve in 1902 of S621, OOO The yearly
collections average now about $3.50 900, with
yearly payments OF S3S5,OOO. leaving a net in

The p~ostofice department expects

respect Is considered a sufficient cause
for the withdrawal OF the service. A
few weeks ago few of the rural CARR
ers at the Ottumwa office found it pos.
sfble to cover their routes on account
OF the deep mud but the conditions
have been gradually improving al
though still far from satisfactory in
many places. Wherever the roads
have been dragged they are reported
to be In excellent condition. Follow
