Major Halves believes that the secret
of the growth and popularity of the
modern Woodmen society lies in the
fact that it has brought to highest
perfection the principle of cooperation
between membership and management.

fact that the membership controls,
through a representative form of gov
eminent; that the business machine
is purely cooperative In principle. and
that the fraternal feature meets the
needs Of the working masses of the
people, both in the matter OF mutual
help and social demands
