about dollar per thousand of insur-
ance in force. The wonder of insur-
ance experts.
The volume of business each year
has been great, but the increase in
the surplus funds has been ample.
This fund stands behind each GER
tificate as an actual guarantee of
prompt payment of all claims and uni.
formity of cost.
The interest and commissions on
the surplus funds has brought in over
one hundred and thirty thousand dol
lars, or nearly one-third enough to pay
the entire death loss for the entire
period of ten years.
This surplus is invested in first
mortgage loans on Nebraska farms,
and the good judgment in placing
these loans is evidenced by the fact
that not an interest payment was past
due January 1, 1907.
These securities are all placed on
deposit with the state auditor, under
the wise provisions of Nebraska's ad-
mirable insurance laws.
The valuation of the property upon
which these loans are placed is over
two and quarter millions of dollars.
Accrued averaged age of our men,
bership is only thirty-five years.
The government of the society is
purely representative. All business is
done at the delegate conventions, only
delegates and elective officers having
a vote. so that every member Is
equally represented and has a voice
in every transaction.
Each month 1.-THE Royal High
lander" the official paper, gives a COM
plete financial statement, showing
every dollar received and from what
source. and every dollar expended and
for what purpose. This has been done
every month since organization. and
every member thus is kept in touch
with every detail.

fence of the Royal Highlanders Is

Fraternal insurance is subject
that is commanding the attention of 2
great many of our members and
readers, and to those who are con-
templating taking out some life in
surance in fraternal organization, we
would recommend that they investi-
gate the merits of the Royal High
landers, whose permanent offices of
the society are at Lincoln and Aurora,
Nebraska. All the field work is
handled from the Lincoln office in the
Fraternity building under the direct
management of w. E. Sharp, president
of the society. The accounting and
clerical work is done at Aurora,
where the society owns it's own Office
building, picture of which is at the
head of this article. This company
is operating in eleven states, and
their statement issued December /,
1908, shows insurance in force $4O,-
900, 900, surplus fund 100000. This
society is a secret fraternal insurance
organization. 1t is formed for the
purpose of combining its membership
into local and executive bodies. for
social, educational and financial bene-
fits, upon sound, safe and equitable
basis. Both sexes are admitted to
beneficial membership on equal terms.
The plan of insurance provides bene-
fits for it's certificate holders in case
of old age and death.
For the past ten years the average
death rate per thousand dollars of
insurance carried has only been 2.34,
one of the most remarkable showings
ever made by any insurance corpora
cost can be attributed to the careful
selection of risks, large list of pro-
hibitions and a selected territory.
The cost of management has been
exceedingly low. To open all this new
territory during this, the promotion

of the entire management, per men,

THE SKIRT STORE.

The Skirt Store. located at 121
North Eleventh street. is a concern
that has gained an enviable reputation
in Lincoln. and they have done so by
treating everyone in the most courte-
Gus manner. The ladies of Lincoln
appreciate store such as is the Skirt
Store. and we do not hesitate to say
a good word for them and ask that
ladies of Lincoln give them their sup
port. This is the time of year that
the ladies are commencing to think
about that new spring suit or skirt,
and if they would save money, and
at the same time have the very best

by patronizing this firm, as they are
bound to please the most particular.

FIRST IMPROVE THE OHIO

AT New Orleans by placing itself
.squarely on record as favoring the inn

'ppi river, the deep water ways con-
vention, N measure locked horns
with the president No direct refer
ence was made to the movement to
improve the Ohio river. President
Taft has long held the view that the
Ohio should be tlrst improved and to
Judge from the present Importance
commercially, the president seems 20
have the petter OF the argument. Those
who advocate the Improvement OF
the Ohio ,er have made great pro-
gress toward attaining the result long
desired and they do not take kindly
to the proposition TO side track them
In their Efforts for the benefit of the
Lakes to Cuff canal.
Fortunately the president stands
with those who advocate the Ohio
river Improvement first and recognizes
the force OF the argument that the
tributary streams must first be i'm
proved before the work of deepening
the main anal-the Missjssippi-is
taken up, It is estimated that it will
cost s63, 100000 TO improve the Ohio
river so as to meet the present de-
mands o. the trade in the Ohio val
ley, and the president is i'll accord
with the plan to issue bonds and be-
gin the work.
In his New OrleanN address he said
% the Lake and Gulf canal advocates:
1T is question OF what you can do,
,ow mu,h it will cost, how long 1t
will take and what 1t will result in?'
thus he indicates that he is yet to be
convinced as to the Lakes and Gulr
,lan. At the present time the advo-
:ates OF the Ohio river Improvement
IRE of with good lead.
