ECHOES FROM THE LODGE ROOM
Gardner Lodge Back in Pythian Hall-Relef Corps In
 yited to Reception at Department Convention Owls Have Candidates Initiate Doinas of the State IN. E. o. P. Convention.

Tn the report of the grand secretary it was shown that during the year 1910, from Jan. 1 till Dec. 31, there was a gain in membership of 925, but that since that time, in the following three months. the fraternal societies have all suffered somewhat on account of this bill, and among the rest the N. E. O. P. came in for it's share. The member ship dropped rapidly till on March 31 1t was considerably behind. During the previous year an increase of 1,200 was made in the membership,s so the order is in just as good condition if not better than it ever was.
 There is considerable anxiety con- corning the outcome of the bill. This provides that every fraternal insurance company should put a valuation upon the policies it issues and to have a reserve fund large enough to cover the number of policies out. This will of course affect the N. E. O. P, among others. since by the present plan be- sides paying the dues every month that go to the support of the local and grand officers an assessment is levied every month by the supreme sficers in Boston to pay for the deaths during that month. If the bill is passed the insurance rates in all the companies will be greatly increased. There are only one or two orders at present that have a plan such as is outlined in the bill
