Great Recofd Keeper Stay, in his re-
port, said that there were SLAB admis-
sions during 1909 and that S,20f certif-
Gates were issued, the difference being
accounted for by the fact that there
are members who have had issued 10
them two or more certificates and are
carrying protection in two or more
plans, There were 1891 deaths during
the term Just closed and the amount
paid the benefciaries was $2.3SS, 044.77.

IL was decided to levy a co-opera-
tive tax Of 80 cents annually upon the

same time as the per capita tax. This
money will be used to promote the field
work Of the order at the discretion Of
the great commander. The age limit
