MAY CHANGE RATES
Members Modern Woodmen will
Discuss REIMBURSEMENT at
the July Convention
LOCAL CAMP is INTERESTED

Members of the Modern Woodmen
of America camp in Kenosha are inter
ested in suggestion, said to come from
Head Clerk Haws of Rock Island pro-
viding ten possible changes for read
justment Of assurances rates of the
order. 1t is expected that the matter
will be thoroughly discussed at the
meeting of The head camps at Peoria,
in July of the present year.
Years ago readjustment of rates and
the establishment Of a big reserve fund
was urged. A raise in rates was made
but the head camp voted down the es-
Enlistment of a reserve fund.
A circular letter recently issued by
the state insurance commissioner shows
that unless the laws are changed and
higher and more frequently assessments
are raised, the order may have to face
financial difficulties.
Tt is said that the insurance in effect
in the Modern Woodmen Jan /, 1908.
was 81, 323, $685. 500 The total member
ship was $4,000, and the liabilities
were $935,05l. The total assets were
said to be $4,666,476. Last year, accord
ing to local members Of the order, only
nine assessments were made.
The order is now twenty-five years of
age and up to this time its wonderful
growth has kept it in good condition.
However, as the average age of mem
bers is increasing and the death rate
is growing constantly greater, the need
for higher rates and more assessments
year is becoming more apparent, if
the funds are to be kept sufficiently
large to guarantee payment Of all losses.
1t is the purpose of the order to Sc
cure a million members before the
meeting of the head camp this year, and
by such growth up to this time all losses
have been paid promptly, but is it be
heved if limit to the new membership
is reached the present rates will be in
adequate.

FIX Up THE SLATE
Kenosha Golfers Arranging To
Entertain State Tournament
the Last Week in July
FINE PROGRAM PROMISED


The members Of the Kenosha Country
Club have begun to make arrangements
for the entertainment Of the Annual
Tournament Of the Wisconsin State
Golf Association and while it will be
many weeks before the golf links are
open for play the work Of planning the
tournament will be well under way
within another month. The last week
in July has been selected as the time
for the gathering of the state golfers
and the tournament will take place
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of that
week. Secretary w. L. Yule Of the
Wisconsin State Golf Association has
been in correspondence with golfers in
all parts of the state seeking sugges-
lions for the tournament and it is GER
tain that the program Of the Kenosha
tournament will be the most interesting
ever offered to the members Of the state
association. There win of course be
the usual trophies offered for the State
Championship and consolation flights
and in addition to this it is planned to
secure three other valuable trophies
There will be a foursome match which
will begin on the afternoon Of the first
day of the tournament and be continued
until the day Of the close. There will
also be some sort Of a match arranged
for the older players of the state on
which an age limit will be placed.
Kenosha promises to take the lead in
providing some sort of amusement for
the women golfers of the state, many
OF whom attend the annual tournament
and some plan will be made whereby
a tournament will be arranged for them
It is planned to use the short course for
this play.
All Indications point to the success Of
the Kenosha tournament and there is
little doubt but that the entry list will
be longer than at any other tournament
held in Wisconsin. 1t is thought that
the number Of entries will pass the
hundred mark.
1T is expected that at least a score Of
Kenosha Golfers Will be entered for the
different events scheduled.
