Norwich Odd Fellows are expecting to go down to Fairview this morning in good numbers. to attend the annual state outing at the beautiful Odd Eel lows home, overlooking the Thames. The reunion is held this year on Au- gust , at the instance of the Hartford lodges and incidentally, as it has turned out, the visiting Odd Fellows will have a chance to see the fleet of the New York Yacht club in New Lon don harbor.
 The Hartford delegat ton, several hun dred strong leave the capitol city at 7.45 tEis morning. A large party will be taken on at Middletown, and then they will proceed to New London where those who would rather spend the day at Ocean beach may leave the train. On the return the train will leave New London at 6.30.
 The committee has planned to make this visit a memorable one to the or der and to the home.
 The excursion will be of the basket picnic variety, but the New London Rebekahs will dispense refreshments at the home.
 The committee in charge of the out ing is made up of representatives of each lodge in Hartford and they have put forth every effort to make the day a success

largely attended and that although no very important legislation was enact ed, it was one of the most enjoyable meetings the Congress las ever held. T.e place in the concluding work of the session was again chosen by prac- tically a unanimous vote, as the place of the meeting of the Congress next year; the hospitaHties and copveniences furnished the Congress being highly satisfactory
 A most interesting feature of tlle meeting was the enthusiastic greetins given by the Congress to Myron Ward Sackett, supreme recorder of the A. o. U w. Supreme lodge, who was ac- corded the ovation. not only because he has been secretary and treasurer of the Congress for many years-from 1894 to 1905-but because he is recog- niZed as one of the founders of Fra ternal Insurance in the United States, Another event of special interest to the A. o. U- W. all over the United States was the tribute given by a large portion of the delegates in paying visit in various groups, by means of the trolley cars to Meadville. sixteen miles distant from Cambridge Springs, to the building where John Jordan .Up- church. the founder of the A. 0. U. W. instituted Jefferson lodge, No. 1, the first A. O. U. W lodge and first fra ternal insurance lodge in America. Here in Meadville was the birthplace in this country of fraternal insurance which from this beginning has grown to such vast proportions. 1t was on October a7 1868 that Brother Up- church instituted Jefferson lodge, and that date was the birthday of fraternal insurance in America
 The next meeting of the Congress will be held in August, 1912 The A. O. U. w. was represented by Supreme Re corder Sacllett and Supreme Foreman Gallagher, and by Fred c. Wetmore, of Cadillac, Michigan. chairman of the committee on laws. The Congress elected as it's president for the ensuing year l.. P. Markey, supreme commander of the Knights of the Maccabees of the World, who is considered by many the foremost fra aternalist in this country Brother Markey has been for many years chairman of statistics and good of the orders committee in the Fra ternal Congress and the many compre- hensive reports on the subject of Fra ternal Insurance written by him are well known as among the very best literature on that subject.
 Brother Gallagher received August 1st, notice that he has been re-appoint- ed q member of the committee on Legal Cooperation of which he has been q member the past year, and of which Hon. C.aJ Kavanaugh of Chi cago is chairman

PATRONS OF HusBANDRY.

Much controversy has been Stirred up by the action of the state granga in canceHng the grange day at the Connecticut state fair this year, be- cause of the invitation extended to President Taft by the management Of the fair to attend the exhibition. Tie grangers feel much more keenly on the subject of Taft and his reciprocity ideas than most urbanites had any idea of
 A representative aEriculturist and a member of the executive committee of the state grange, J: H. Hale, of Glastonbury, the widely known peach grower, says:
 The action was taken by the ex- ecutive committee of the state grange and the members of that committee know where the national as well as the state grange stands in the matter and we know how about all the local granges in this state feel.
 The grange in no way wants to ap- pear as a host to President Taft MT Hale said.
 President Taft has been the cham pion of the reciprocity agreement with Canada against the opposition of az riculturists all over the country, and if the Connecticut fair people saw fit to invite the president and received his acceptance, the grange. whose been fairly dealt with by Taft do not care to take any part in the fair.
 Tt was planned to have a special grange day at the fair. and an effort was to have been made to get thou sands of grangers to attend on that day, when they would be sure of meet ing other grangers, and the public undoubtedly big days would have re- sulted.''

 Dr. Charming Fl.

As a laxative I consider it the peer of anything shat ever prescribed"

THE CENTER OF POPULATION. Still in Indiana, But Few Miles Fur
 tFer West Than n 1900

The center of popula ton of the United States is four and one-quarter miles south of Unionvile, Monroe county, Ind, according to 9, census bu- reau announcement at Washington. Since 1900. when it was six miles southeast of Columbus, Jndr, it has moved 31 miles westward and seven tenths of Q mile northyard The vest ward movement was more than twice that of 1S90-190O. This acceleration of the westward movement is attrib- uted by census officials principally to the growth of the Pacific and the southwestern states. The geographical center of the United States is in northern Kansas, so that the center Of population therefore is about 300 miles east of the geographical center of the country.

Daducting disbursements and adZing balances on hand at beginning of the year; we find that the order has now in assets, exclusive of special funds, nearly three and one-half mill ions The increase in our assets for the year amounted to over S400,000, which would have been further aug mented by about $S5,000, but for the fact that one assessment. for the month of December. 1910 was passed. Investments of s546,a11.1S, including S3,3236S for accrued interest, were made by the committee on finance for account of the mortuary reserve fund at an average yield or return, of 4.14 per cent, the yield on all our assets in the mortuary reserve fund being well over four per cent.
 On the other hand, our liabilities on June 30 past on account of all deaths of which we then had knowl edge irrespective of whether claims had been filed, amounted to 67,333.35, of which there has since been adjusted and paid S36,000,00.
