list OF twenty nine living in Tama, DEL
vein, vinton, Waterloo. Cedar Rapids,
and Marengo, in addition to the four
local policy holders who have joined in
the action, is given in the application
The amount of their insurance ranges
from $500 to $1,000 each, and the
amount of the special assessment
ranges from s2l3 to s1.S40.64 on each

The Modern Brotherhood Of America,

other mutual protective fraternal and
insurance companies that sold insur-
ance at a low rate and then found when
its members grew old that the low rate
would not carry the risks. is embroiled
in litigation to compel 1t to desist from
it's effort to assess it's old policy holders.
Recently the company served notice on
a certain class of its members, alleged
to number 10000, that unless they paid
a so called reserve deficiency assess
ment" on their insurance on or before
April 80, they would be suspended.
To forestall this Judge Cummings,

posted for the applicants, and service
under the temporary writ was made
on the officers in Mason City Saturday
night.

in the company since May 80 1903. He
was ordered to pay a reserve de-

given the option of paying it IN cash,
or letting all or any part of 1t stand
as lien against the policy to draw IN

established. and the accrued interest, II
not paid, to be deducted from the face
of the policy at his death. II the as

ond in both sprints. Byers, OF west
Des Moines, who was picked to win
the dashes, was outclassed by smith,

lost the meet to his team.
In the high jump Eldridge was not
hard pressed and his leap OF feet
Az inches gave him an easy win. Ed
ridge, in fact, had his opponents out
classed. Sterling. Of Indianola, and
Greenman, of North Dies Moines, tied
for second place.
In the half mile relay Fort Dodge

so doing nosed Marshalltown out OF
third place. West Des Moines mn"
