Grand Recorder Says Oredr is o. h. in
Michigan.

Detroit, April I6-George Latcham,
grand recorder for the Ancient Order
OF United Workmen of Michigan, de-
clared conditions in this state are not
the same as.those in Ohio, which caused
the organization to fail Friday with
unpaid death claims OH its hands
amounting to approximately $4,000
Recorder Latcham says the unpaid
death claims in Michigan amount to
about 100000. and that while the
only assets of the order are between
$4,000 and $4,000 derived monthly,
there is due from the supreme lodge
out of the fraternal fund Is per cent
of the death claims, or about $4,000
The, officers of the supreme lodge will
meet soon in Pennsylvania to- consider
the validity of these claims.
"Ohio didn't adopt the supreme lodge
rates and were consequently cut off of
the, benefit" said Recorder Latcham
But even if we didn't get our appor-
tionment from the fraternal aid fund
we would manage to pull through in
some way. In fact, | believe the con-
ditions in this state are improving.
The supreme lodge made ain assess
ment Of IS cents toward paying the un-
paid death claims UP to October !, 1000.
Since then the rates have been sufficient
to meet current death claims"

Dinner over, theAuAla routine of

members were taken into the club.
The absence of nearly every one on
the program required almost an en-
tire change, but the President proved
himself equal to the occasion and
very interesting program was carried
out, Notwithstanding the difficulty of
the situation.
Mr.. Geo. Morrice gave a practical
talk on how to grow corn from pre-
pairing soil to harvesting time. All
agreed with his method, but differed
in kind of corn, some prefering white
dent, some yellow dent, and some
eight row yellow corn.
Mrs. Alexander being absent from
sickness, Rev. Alexander read paper
prepared by her, subject, "Ltera-
ture" which recommended classic
reading to a great extent. By request
DIR. Cudworth gave very interesting
talk on salt as medicine.
Rearing heifer calves for the dairy
was discussed by Messrs. E. Bently,
Geo Morrice and Vinegar. All
