A. o. U. w. CAMPAIGN
 FOR HOT SPRING COUNTY

J. B. Collie of Malven, Grand Trea- surer of the A. o. U. ", of Arkan. sas, assisted by E. s. Perry, district Deputy, will spend this month work ing in the interest of the order in Hot Spring county. There is to be campaign for membership for the Malvern lodge, and new lodges are to be organized at several points off the railroad.
 The Arkansas Grand Lodge of the A. o. U. w, has completed this year an achievement that stands out bold Fly as one of the greatest enterprises ever undertaken by any fraternal order in the history of Arkansas. This is the erection of a ten-story of flee building in the business center of Little Rock, "the most beautiful building in the South" which is to- be formally dedicated onApril 30. It is already occupied by many tenants including the offices of the Grand Lodge, and within short time it is expected that every office will be talk en.
 "It is proper that this should be the first time such an enterprise has been put over in Arkansas said Grand Master Workman, John R. Frazer, who, with Grand Recorder, H. L. Cross, is responsible more than any one else for this remarkable feat. "The A. O. U. w, is a pioneer in many things-it was the first frater- nal beneficiary society on the Amer ican continent, it was the first to adopt the Level rate system, it was the first to admit women to equal membership in the order, it was the first to announce the policy of keep ing the policy-holder's money at home instead of sending it away, it was the first to adopt progressive business methods in propagating business, and now it is the first to erect sky scraper office building in the state. The building is to be dedicated the last of April, at which time the lodge
