BY CLIO HARPER
P. NJ. w. Capitol Lodge No. &c,
A. O. e. w

Marvellous indeed has been the
growth of the Arkansas Jurisdic-
ton Ancient Order of United
Workmen. This, the pioneer of
of all beneficiary organizations on
the Western continent, in recent
Fears has taken on new life, and,
With energetic and progressive men
at its head, has pushed forward
by leaps and bounds, until it takes
first rank with the organizations of
the country.
The A. O. Il. w. is being plant
ed in every community of the
State, and its achievements are
known and commended every
where. This eminent position in
the esteem of its members and the
approval of the public has been
won by strict devotion to its
principles of Charity, Hope and
Protection, under which it is en-
listing the best manhood and the
flower of the womanhood of Ar
kansas.
One of the most notable of its
achievements is the completion of
the new building on Center between
Second and Third streets, which
Is to be dedicated April Both.
This building, well termed the
Most Beautiful Building in the
South, is one of the show places
of the capital city. It's erection
was undertaken at time when
only the unfailing optimism OF
such q man as John r.. Frazer,
the Grand Workman of the Order,
would have suggested such an en-
terpris.. 1t was commenced just
before America entered the great
var, and Just before building ma
terial started on its balloon ascen-
son in price. By judiciously
placing the contracts, Mr.. Fra
ler and the Board of Directors
we're enabled to secure structural
material at prices far below what
they are now. In consequence.
The building was erected probably
rs per cent cheaper than it would
now cost. AS it stands, the prop
uty represents, easily, valuation
of S250,00O, which has been salts
factorily financed, and stands as
security back of the certificate
OF every member of the Order In
addition to this, the Grand Lodge
has invested in the State $240,OOO
IN Arkansas securities, making a
formidable reserve that insures
the stability of every certificate
issued.
The construction of the build
ing was authorized at a meeting
Of the Grand Lodge in September,
i9l6, when the Grand Lodge, as
an expression of confidence Ill the
1rand Master, John r. Frazer,
and Grand Recorder III. L. Cross,
increased their terms Of office
from two to six years. The ac-
fual work of construction was be-
gun Monday, Jan. 22, 1917, with
Mann & Stern, architects, George
W FAIR contractor, and Herbert
.. Turner, chairman of the FL
nance Committee, superintendent.
Mr.. Turner has been on the job
early and late, day after day,
iaboring to hurry forward the
work even more earnestly than if
It had been his own. To bis in

Order during the last few years
is one of the marvels of fraternal
insurance history of the State.
There are several elements enter
ing into this result, chief among
which is the personality of the
two men who, like Damon and
Pythias, labor so earnestly and
untiringly for the good of the
Order John II Frazer, the Grand
Master Workman, and FL. L.
Cross, the Grand Recorder. An
increase of 800 per cent in the
membership in seven years is an
eloquent tribute to their zeal and
progressiveness, and with an un-
faltering energy that grows
stronger as its results become
greater, they promise that the A.
@. L. w. is only at the beginning
of what it will be in the next five
years.
1t was in 1904 that Mr.. Fra
zer's financial ability was first
recognized by the struggling so
ciety, which had just been passing
through the travail of re-organi-
zation. He was drafted out of
mercantile life and made chairman
of the Finance Committee of the
Grand Lodge. 1t was during this
period that he instituted reforms
that placed the Order upon firm
basis of adequate rates that have
won the approval of the most
capable actuaries of the country.
The level rates had succeeded the
old classified rate system in 1909,
and, as had been expected, there
was startling shrinkage follow
ing the REIMBURSEMENT. The MEM
bcrship fell from 5,625 to 5000 in
1902,
When the Grand Lodge met at
Helena in 1910, Mr.. Frazer was
elected Grand Master Workman,
and placed at the head of the
Order as its directing spirit. lie
found only 3.51S members on the
rolls, with $4,210,000 insurance
in force, and $4,000 invested.
He was then given a free hand
for the inauguration of those
business policies which have shock
ed some of the ultra-conservatlve
of the beneficiary insurance peo-
pie. All are now forced to admit
that his methods have been the
most effective ever employed;
other organizations are following
him, and other jurisdictions are
adopting Arkansas methods as the
surest mean Of success.
Now, after less than eight years
of service, Mr.. Frazer points to
phenomenal record Of achievement.
There are 40 lodges, and more
are being organized every month;
there is a membership of approx
mately 10000, including a large
percentage of women who are ac-
cepted on equal terms with men;
there is total of 11,0O0,0 100000
insurance in force, in certificates
ranging from $500 to $4,000;
there is $49O,OO0 invested, in
GLIDING the new building.
Intensive publicity campaigns,
the loyalty of membership that
feels personal interest in the
growth of the Order, team work
among the Grand Lodge officers,
a rate that is level, adequate and
guaranteed not to change, and the
persuasive force of the slogan de-
vised by Grand Recorder Cross,

A Monkey Hunt in Burma

Roy Chapman Andrews, in Harper's Mag azine.
 Our most exciting sport at the Nam- ting camp was hunting monkeys. Every | morning we heard querulous notes, sounding much like the squealing of very young puppies, which were followed by long-drawn siren walls. When the shril notes had reached their highest pitch they would sink into low, full tones ex- l ceedingly musical.
 We were inspecting a line of traps placed along trail which led up val ley to a wide plateau when the querulous squealing abruptly ceased. We moved on, alert and tense. The trees stretched up- ward a full one hundred and fifty feet, their tops spread out in a leafy roof In the topmost branches of one we could just discern dozen balls of yellow fur from which proceeded discordant walls. It was long range for shotgun, but the rifles were all in camp. I fired a charge of "BB's' at the lowest monkey, and as the gun roared out the tree-tops suddenly sprang into life. They were
 filled with running, leaping, hairy forms swinging at incredible speed from branch
 to branch-not dozen, but score of
 monkeys, yellow, brown and gray.
 The one at which I had shot seemed
 unaffected and threw himself full twen- ty feet to a horizontal limb below and to the right. I fired again and he stopped, ran few steps forward and swung to the under side of the branch. At the third charge he hung suspended by one arm and dropped to the ground.
 We tossed him into the dry creek-bed and dashed up the hill where the branches were still swaying as the mon keys travelled through the tree-tops They had long start and it was a hopeless chase. In ten minutes they had disap- peared and we turned back to find the dead animal. It was young male, and l knew at once that it was a gibbon
 QHylobates), for it's long arms, round head, and tailless body were unmis- takable; but in every species with which I was familiar the male was black. This enc was yellow and We knew it to be a prize.
 For the remainder of our stay at the Nam-ting river camp we devoted our selves to hunting monkeys. The gibbons soon became extremely wild. Although the same troop could usually be found in the valley where we had first dis covered them, they chose hillsides on which it was almost impossible to stalk them because of the thorny jungle. We went forward only when the calls were echoing through the jungle and stood mo- tionless as the wailing ceased. But in spite of all our care they would see or hear us. Then in sudden silence there would be a tremor of the branches,

splash after splash of leaves, and the herd would swing away through the trackless tree-tops.
 The gibbons are well named Hylobates, or "tree-walkers, for they are entirely aboreal and, although awkward and aI- most helpless upon the ground, once their long, thin hands touch branch they become transformed into veritable spirits of the tree-tops They launch themselves into space, catch branch twenty feet away to swing for an instant and hurl themselves to another. It is possible for them to travel through the trees faster than man can run on open ground.
