W0ODMEN SHOULD
NOT Be MISLED

Just at this time many agents for
other fraternal insurance societies as
well as many old line agents, are very
busy trying to get our Modern Wood
their lot with them. Do not be mis-
led Big commissions interest these
agents instead of your welfare. You
have eleven months in which to decide
what you want to do. At this time
you do not even know how well the
new plan provides for you. You will
be advised as quickly as possible. We
have some mem berS who think they
see a chance to win fame and become
leaders and perhaps Office holders
through the "Madero Route" Beware
of the demagogue. After you have
carefully studied the new plan and
have had it thoroughly explained to
you and you are still dissatified and
do not wish to continue your member
ship, there is just one thing for you
to do, and that it drop out. A circular
has just reached my desk in which it
says, I'VE will start a new order and
receive into its membership any Mod
ern Woodman member of this state
without being re-examined." This
statement is not true, and such action
is prohibited by law. Any man who
has following enough can start a new
fraternal society to suit his own fancy,
but it must conform to the laws of
Kansas, and every person who joins
must pass a. medical examination. Do
not be misled by such circulars as the
one referred to.
The Modern Woodmen will continue
to furnish protection cheaper than any
other society or old line company
operating on a safe basis but does not
sell investment insurance.
The new plan provides for sew
eral kinds of contracts. Some of them
cannot be written in Kansas until our
laws are changed In the past, the
Modern Woodmen has furnished pro-
lection on the current cost plan from
month to month. This is simply in
definite term protection. The new
plan will provide for a definite con-
tract for every member on an ade-
Quate plan. It's purpose in the future
as in the past will be to protect the
home Of the wage Garner who has
the wife and little children, or other
dependents looking to him for support,
and this protection viii be furnished
at the lowest possible cost, every man
bearing his own burden.
The new plan provides for the man
20 years old to carry his protection for
80 years for 4Oc month per $1,000:
4 0 year for soc q month, and so years
for soc a month The man % years
old will carry his protection for 20
for 55c month and for 40 years at
SC a month. The man 80 years old
will carry his protection for 20 years
for SOC a month per $1,000; so years
for soc a month and &C years for soc
a month The man 35 years old will
carry his protection for 1 5 years for
55c a month per $1,000; for % years
for zoe a month, and So years for 90c
a month. The man 40 years old will
carry his protection 10 years for soc
a month per $1,000; 20 years for 75c
a month, and 80 years for s1.05 a
month. The man 40 years old Will
carry his protection years at 55c a
month per $1,000; 5 years for soc a
month, and 25 years for $1.30 per
month. This is definite term insur-
ance, one of the forms provided for in
the new plan and applies to old and
Line Agent, who has been so busy
working on our members and who
seems to be SO greatly interested in
their welfare, smoke this in your pipe.
