from ali the societies
So successful has been the life Of the
Woodmen of the World that the present
building which houses the headquarters
OF the society is far too small for the
forces which direct the work of the
company The new building, which Is
beginning to force its way into the air
At Fourteenth and Farnam streets, has
come as a sequence TO this great growth.
The present building is a five-story
structure; the new one will have eigh-
teen floors and will be erected at a cost
Of SlOO0,O00.
Accounting system Changed.
The rapid progress OF the order has
made It necessary 70 change the system
OF accounting from time to time IN order
70 meet the urgent and sharp demands
OF the big business. To fill the present
needs OF the institution, Sovereign Clerk
Yates has Just adopted a new mailing
and card system, known as the Montague
system. The machines and the operation
OF this successful plan have been in
stalled in the A. l. Root building on
Howard street, where the details were
explained 70 visitor from The Bee this
week. This new plan for mailing the

lutionized the work and makes it possible
10 do the complete task in one week,
whereas IL formerly took sixteen or
eighteen days 70 have all the papers ad-
dressed and mailed.
