new RATES TO STAY
Reasons for Change In.
Moodmen Society Effec-
tive Jan. l, 1918

The follow ing are abstracts of 8 cir
cular malleu 20 j W. Cr0ssteld, clerk
otstho l,nal camp, by the head clerk OF
tina n w. A. ana fully ex, lainB, the
reasons for the society g new insurance
rates: .s;..:: rg@ 1!--, ss< @sz
s The: Modern Woodmen Society has
the rlgat, under the terms Of the
Mobile bill to give to It's membership
rates lower than those that can be
given by any other society or in
surance company, no matter where
formed OF how operated, from the very
fact that the Mobile bill permits the
Society to value its business, and
logically, to graoe rates to its own
mortality standard, because 1t meets
that requirement OF the bill which
permits societies having an experts 3nce
coverinh not less than 100, QUO lives
and not less than 20 years. to do THESE
things. ....
The lowest tables uf mortality that
any society, which can net use its own
experience is permitted to employ, is
which table shows mortality about
II per cent in excess Of that of tho
Modern Woodmen mortality table. AS
our table of mortality has been
thoroughly tested bv the actuarles of
several insurance departments and has
been declared to be safe. 1t will thus
be understood that not Lnly can no
society give its members rates as low
anu as safe as those which the
Modern .Woodmen will give unuer it's
new tables adopted at Chicago, but
it will also be kept Ill MIMI that if
any Society offers lower rates and
declares them to be adequate. any
Netghbor may know at once that the
declarstion IS not true; that the rates
are not safe rates tbat no responsible
actuary or state insurance official will
give such repre- sentations Official or
professional endorsement and that, in
short, if an society attempts to do
these things, it is simply endeavoring
to hand 10 its members and the insur-
ing public '.gold BRICK. Moreover.
let it be Kept IN mind ts,at any society,
tne rates of which at this time are as
low as or less than the rates adopted
at the Chicago meeting of the Head
Camp uno-r the various plans must
by the terms OF the Mobile bill, dis
close its true condition by valuation
annually, and when the truth is
known, it logically follows that it
must increase it, rates or else fail to
meet its benefit payments when they
become due IN future years. =. -.

their annual banquet, held at the city
hall which in every respect was q
most pleasant occasion.
!. After psrtaki ing of most appetizing
menu, and everybody furnished with
smokes, Toastmaster Frank w. Lyon in
few appropriated words opened up
the talking part Of the program.
l.. w. Vasaly spoke on the efficiency
of the department and the harmony
that existed among the different
mem hers and between them and the
officers, tossed bouquet at Chief
Emder for his untiring work, and at
Toastmaster Lyon for having the wei.
fare of the department at heart, as we'll
as fol the manner in which he has re-.
presented the local <firemen at state
meetings. -.
Justice Phil Randall made a decided
hit with an original poem on the Lit
tie Falls fire department and a number
of its members. Although in sub.
stance 1T was gross libel, the occasion
was considered, and the author got
away with it IN tine style.
T. e. Gordon. speaking for the
Water Power company. said that while
there was liable to be some complaints
on service, that the friction between
the company and the department was
at "a minimum. He said that the
company was always glad to Improve
the service, but that this was not as
easily done with the water works, on
a count Of the pipes being
n dergro d as it was in
their other service. One thing of
special interest," especially to the
East side, was spoken of by Mr.. Cor
don. He stated that at the last meet
ing ct the directors of the company,
pumping station at the east approach
of the Broadway bridge to he used in
case something happened at the pump
ing station on the West side or on tho
bridge, Was taken up, and that he be-
lieved such an improvement would be
made within year. tie also thought
that this was an opportune time to in.
vestigate the matter of securing horses
for the fire department service.
Don M. Cameron spoke on "Any-
thing' as subject, and gave q talk
on about every thing, interspersed
with number of good stories: He in
cluded in his talk the matter OF fire
prevention as being as important as
FIRE extinction. He also advocated the
purchase Of horses for the department.
q e A.. Loaeks, speakinR for the
ladies. said that the feminine part IT
the household thought that the bremen
should be more considerate of them
whom the annual celebration diew
around, and that although they might
not he invited to attend the annual
banquet, something in which the
ladies' were to be included should be
taken up for future date. He was
also another advocate of securing a
fire team.
The band which was g3tten up at
short notice, played some very good
selections.
After the set program of the evening
was finished, the 6remen spent some
time in conversation, and the younger
element sang every song written since
the advent of my Old Kentucky

and admitted that she had not got any
of tho money tbat had been raised on
the note for ST, 500 and that her note
instead of his own had been put in the
Bowlus hank for the loan in order to
avoid criticism on the part of the bank
examiners office. He gave no testi-
mony as to his own note for 81, ,0O0
found in the bank or as to the value of
lis own property.
Mr. .Havill testified that the reason
the Western Granite company of st.
Cloud had closed down was because OF
the lack of water to run the engines of
the granite works, due to the excessive
drought.
Defendant gave the list of the diff
ferept banks in which individual
notes, secured by Western Granite
company bonds had been put: SAC, 900
Lad been sold and $50, 900 had been put

pany.
He testified that on the morning Of
August 3rd 1911, when he heard Of
the trouble at the Royalton bank and
fearing a run on the Bowlus bank as
a result, he had consulted his attorney,
George W. Stewart. who told him that
it would be nothing short of crime to
close the Bowlus bank if it was SOL
vent; that he had then called up
Cashier j. d. McDougal and told him
to make all deposits that day special.
The same afternoon he had gone to
Bowlus and gone over the banks books
and ascertained its total assets and
liabilitles; then he told thas cashier to
20 ahead and run all special deposits
the next morning as he had found in
his examination that the bank was
perfectly solvent. He told OF having
on the morning of August 9TH called
state Bank Examiner Kelsey M.
Chase, met him together with his
assistant, MIR. Regan, at St. Cloud and
journeyed with them to Royalton,
where they were met by j. D. Nc
Dougall, cashier Of tho Bowlus bank.
He testified that Mr.. Chase refused to
give him letter to show the deposit
tors that on time deposits the full time
would be taken by the bank. Mr..
Havill stated that he had told the state
bank examiner that he bad made ar.
rangements to get $40, 600 to tide over
the Immediate danger of a run on the
bank. Messrs. Chase and McDougali,
he stated, had gone to Bow lus late that
night. Chase had later got Bank
Examiner Millard to come over from
Alexandria to take charge of the bank
until q receiver was appointed and
took charge.

Old Times Talked over.

A reunion of the members and families
of the former Bethesda Literary Club
which was organized in 1889, was held at
the residence of Mr.. Alfred Wilson on the
evening of the 28th of last February and
they were delightfully."- entertained. The
house was beautifully decorated with potted
plants and cut flowers.
The first hour was taken up in greetings
of old friends, some of whom had not met
for years, having married and moved from
this vicinity. The members were very
much disappointed in not meeting DR.. VIM.
Frank Elgin, of Glenolden, Pa, one of the
old members, who was unavoidably pre-
vented from carrying out his plans to be
present. From 8 until 10 o'clock was en-
joyed in games and contests, in which all
entered with zeal and mirth. Mrs. Isaac
Shoemaker won the first prize in the pea
nut jabbing contest and Miss Ruth f. Viii
son won the BOBBY prize.
At 10 o'clock all were invited into the
dining room. where we were beautifully
served with refreshments and jokes. Favors
were then passed around. suitable for the
occasion, with comic quotations, which
each one read, making a great deal of
laughter and fun. After which all repaired
to the drawing room, where the next hour
was devoted to music and literary enter
tainment, commencing by reading of the
minutes of the first meeting of the club by
Mr.. A. Z. Shoemaker, which all enjoyed
very much, DIR. Percy Simpson was nomi-
mated to write the minutes of the present
meeting. Next discussion, by the MEM
bers, of the good old times they formerly
had at their meetings. A motion to re-
organize the old club and allow the chill
dren of members of the club to become
members was laid on the table, Next mu-

the business interests of Washington from
that time. He was born in Montgomery

Receiving information that numerous
Washington automobiles without Mary
land license number tags have recently
been seen out Chevy Chase way, Sheriff
Howard last Sunday afternoon sent his
automobile deputy. W. A. Brooke, of Rock
vile, and Deputy Robert L. Saunders, of
Potomac, to take look. The officers spent
two hours patrolling the pike in front of
the Chevy Chase Club property and within
that time placed under arrest seven Wash
ingtonians. each of whom was required to

A suit has been filed in the Circuit Court
here by VIM. 7. Lynch, of Potomac district,
against j. W. Long of Washington, to COM
pei the specific performance of contract.
According to the bill, Long, representing
the Chevy Chase to Great Falls Land Com
pany, entered into an agreement to pur-
chase from Lynch for $l3.500 a farm of
SO acres in Potomac district and made
payment of 5000. Under the agreement,
$4,000 more was to have been paid Janu-
airy last. when the deed was to have
been delivered, Lynch to take a mortgage
for the remainder of the amount agreed
upon. January 2, according to the bill.
Lynch proffered the deed, but Long declined
to accept it, and also refused to pay the
$4,000. The bill asks the court to require
Long to carry out his part of this contract.
In his answer Long admits he agreed to
buy the property upon the terms mentioned
in the bill, but asserts that an examina-
ton of the records disclosed that Lynch's
title to the property is not good, hence the
refusal to accept the deed and pay the
money.
