with Vigor.
During the discussion which fol-
lowed several prominent fraternal in
surance officials expressed the belief
that the prevailing rates OF that line Of
insurance should be increased. Most
Of the day was spent by the fraternal
officers In discussing Hosts recommen-
dations to the committee. Only two of
the fraternal insurance men present OBJ
jected strenuously to Hosts recon-
mendations. They were Edmund Jack
son, an ex-secretary of the fraternal
congress, and George Boyer, of the
Legion of Honor, of Indianapolis.
Jackson believed that the better way
to regulate the fraternals would be to
label them and make them show the
public just what kind of business they
were doing. He said that in this way
it would be known that a fraternal as
sociation was doing a purely fraternal
business, and there would be no ques-
ton that the public would know what
class Of insurance they were getting.
Jackson also said that the insurance
commissioners suggestion in regard to
the worth of policies would practically
place the fraternals on old-line insur-
ance basis.
Host admitted this, but declared that
the valuation of policies was an essen
tial protection to the policyholders
Much objection was raised by ID. d. Ait

arrange experience tables for the use
of these societies. The committee adj

The June Bride.

The June Bride.
With smiling lips
And winning ways
The June bride trips
Before our gaze,
AS light as air
And quite as free,
A creature fair
Indeed to see.
Her dress of lace
And other things
In simple grace
Around her clings.
And just beneath
Her brand new lid
An orange wreath
Is scarcely hid.
The bridegroom-where,
Oh, where Is he?
We do not care
AS long as she
From time to time
On deck is found
And In the lime
Light stands around.
Though not in view,
A knot Is soon
To tie him TO
This bride of June.
He dreams this plan
Must bring delight
And hopes the man
Will tie 1t tight.

THE REAR GUARD

The guns are hushed. On every field once flowing
With Wars red food Mays breath of peace is sheo,
And Springs young and gracious flowers growing
Above the dead.
Ye gray old men whom we this day are greeting,
Honor to you, honor and love and trust;
Brave to the brave Your soldier hands meeting
Across their dust.
Bravey they fought VINO charged when flags flying
In lannon's crash, in screech and of shell;
Bravely they fell who lay alone and dying
In battles hell.
Honor to them For graves today are flying
Up through the soil peace blooms to meet the sun,
And daised heads to summer winds are singing
Their long well done.
Our vanguard they, They went hot blood flushing
AT battles din, at joy of bugles call
They fell with smiles the food of young life gushing
Full brave the fall.
But drawer ye who when the war was ended
And buges call and wave of flag done,
Could come back home so long left undefeated,
Your cause unwOn
And twist the useless sword to hook of reaping,
Rebuild the homes set back the empty CHAIR
And brave a land where want and waste were keeping
Guard everywhere
All this you did, your courage strong upon you,
And out of ashes wreck new land rose.
Through years of war no Drawer battle you
'Ganst fercer foes.
And today prospered land is cheering
And lifting up her voice in lusty pride
For you gray who fought and wrought not fearing
Battles red tide.
Our guard we, whose step is slowing, slowing,
Whose ranks, earh-thinned, filing other-where,
Who wore the gray-the gray alas still showing
On bleaching hair.
For forty years you've watched this land grow stronger
For forty years you We been it's bulwark, stay;
larry awhile pause yet little longer
Upon the way,
And set feet where there may be turning,
And our faces straight duty's track,
Where there be for stray strange gods yearning
Nor looking back.
And when for you the last tattoo has sounded,
And on deaths silent field you've pitched your tent,
When bowed through tears, the of life has rounded
To full content
We that are left will count it guerdon royal,
Our heritage years can take away,
That born of those un1inching loyal,
