NATIONAL PROTECTIVE LEGION.

Many people in this vicinity
are greatly exercised over re-
ports being made concerning the
National Protective Legion and
the action taken in its last bienni-
al convention. 1t is currently
stated that the cash dividend of
the organization payable each five
years, will be materially reduced.
An authoritive statement concern
ing this society so we'll known in
Our place, is to the effect that the
cash dividend in future will be
declared upon a purely mathemat-
ical basis and that the amount to
be paid each year, will not be
known until an actuary shall have
made computations to determine
it. In future the dividends will
vary each and every year, and the
amount paid on each full rate GER
titicate, will be changed to such
sum as is the actual increment up
on the certificates issued during
the year, five years previous
thereto.
This action was in accordance
with demands made by the lnsur-
ance Department of nearly every
state in the union where the Lee
gion does business and it was lar
gely a compulsory change. How
ever, the change seems an admir-
able one inasmuch as it assures
the perpetuity of the society and
removes all obstacles exercised by
the various Insurance Depart
ments and other officials in auth
GRITTY. Furthermore, it removes
all criticism so freely passed by
Old Line Companies. From its
National Officers we gather in
formation that they earnestly APP
proved the measure and of it's as
surance of equity and justice to
all the membership. To the pub
lie we will also state that 925 re-
representatives. were in attendance
at the meeting and voted unani-
mously to adopt the change that
was made. From the standpoint
of one who carefully reviews the
conditions as presented, good judg-
ment indicates that correct action
was taken.

Among the prominent guests at the
Alexandria is w. P. Mitchell, New

engineered the famous Daisy mining deal

the globe seven times, his first venture
in this direction being as a runaway boy
from home, when he wound up In China
as a bank clerk and in one year. by
speculating in cotton, got together
100000.
After sixteen years in the orient Col.
Mitchell returned to America and has
been more or less conspicuous In financial
circles for many years.
II like the west" he remarked last
night, but am afraid to remain very
long within hailing distance of an orient
bound steamship. Every day run across
