OCTOGENARIAN DEAD.

Samuel Turner, of Port Republic,
died at s o'clock last Monday night
at the home of his sister, Mrs. Eliza
beth A. Barstow, in Atlantic City.
The deceased, who was in his 82d
year, fell down the stairs of his sis
ter's residence early in January and
sustained injuries which finally re-
suited in his death. Up to that time
he had seldom known what it was to
be i'll and was remarkable for his
wonderful vitality and keen intellect.
He divided his time between his coun-
try place in Port Republic and the
home of Mrs. Barstow.
A son, Councilman Thomas Turner.
of Port Republic, survives him.

BENEVOLENT AND PROTECTIVE
ORDER OF BEAVERS OF
THE WORLD.
A Large Class Is Now Forming.

We wish to call your attention to a
pure fraternity which is operated on
proud and elevated system with an
up-to-date Ritualistic form, building
Councils or Lodges, and homes of
their own, and thoroughly making
success of the Lodge system.
We take our name from the most
cleanly, most Industrious and inoffen-
sive little animal known to science
The Beaver washes every bit of it's
food and is strictly a vegetarian; the
only true Home Builder in the animal
kingdom as he and his posterity re-
main in one locality for many years.
We emulate the Beaver in Virtue, Pa
tience and Industry.
We believe that we have an organi-
zation that appeals to every man
needing protection in our line. 1t is
clean, snappy, practical and up-to-
date Ritual, the degrees of which are
based on Friendship, Truth and Bro
therly Love, and does not necessitate
long drawn sessions in order to exem-
plify our work We advocate tenn
perance, moderation, and good citi-
zenship and teach the wholesomeness
of high ideals in all walks of life.
Our Patriotic Greed teaches loyalty
to our Country, its institutions and
shows the forcefulness of the exam
pie of applying the Golden Rule.
We do not have the Objectionable
features, namely-Side-Boar in our
Social Rooms where Intoxicating liq-
uors are dispensed to the member
ship. To the contrary, it is our aim
to establish Libraries, Reading
Rooms, Gymnasiums and Night
Schools for the benefit of those rang
ing between the ages of 18 and SO
years.
Our Subordinate Councils are al
lowed to underwrite their Death Ben
efits in Funeral Benefit Association
which pays $4,000 as death benefit.
Of course, the Subordinate Councils
transact this side of their business
with the Funeral Benefit Association.
The Sick Benefit paid by Local
Councils, are $3.50 per week as sick
and disability benefit.
We do not pay the full amount for
the first week, however, if the disa-
bility runs into the second week, we
pay the full amount for the period
dating from the first days illness
This combination of protection is fur
nished for the sum of $1.00 per month,
with no assessment or extra cost for
death of member, and from a prac-
tical scientific point, we state in pos
tive terms that we know we are cor
rect.
Any member not desiring protec-
tion of any kind, may be a member
of the Benevolent and Protective Or
der of Beavers of the World with all
rights and privileges of the councils,
club rooms, ETC., pertaining thereto,
and receive the sick and accidental
benefits by paying annual dues of
1920.
You can readily see that this is a
straight and fair proposition, and one
that appeals to everyone, for the rea-
son that every council or lodge han
die their own money and pay their
own claim as per vote of their own
Order.
If this plan should interest you,
kindly let US hear from you and we
will be pleased to give you more de-
tailed explanation, and enroll you am
ong our many new members.
