WOODMEN WILL
ADJUST RATES
Largest of the Fraternals
Calls Special Meeting for
That Purpose.

The Modern Woodmen of America,
the largest of the fraternal organiza-
lions, has called a special meeting of
its head camp, to be held in Chicago
the latter part of next January to con-
slider the readjustment of rates to COM
ply with the new uniform fraternal in
surance law. This is already a law in
ten of the states in which the Modern
Woodmen are operating, and 1t would
require an increase in rates within
three years in those states to comply
with Its conditions. AS serious legal
complications would follow unless the
application of the new rates was made
uniform the general change was re-
garded as inevitable. The Modern
Woodmen now have over million
members. with the largest Membership
in Illinois and adjacent states, so that
the proposed changes are of great i'm
portance to the fraternal system.

left her home at 6sT Webster strees,
Hammond last Tuesday morning. Her
parents received word from relatives IN

her and that amount will not last very
long.
Pictures and description of her are
being sent to all large cities and it is
hoped that some clew may be found to
