Dear Fred:
My annual report 7 send.
I hope I'm not too late.
To get it in before the end
And learn the awful fate
OF getting soaked for fifty bones,
Which ! could never pay.
I'd fill tho air with fearful groans
Throughout the live-long day,
I'd have to lose my only Bond
I bought to help the yanks,
Who sailed away across the pond
And did their naughty pranks.
But with this burden off my chest.
I'll rest secure again,
And next year I will do my best
To be on time, Amen.--Nat- E1ks

The results obea1n-r from our
mortality experience during the year
1918 were indeed most gratifying and
satisfactory. Notwithstanding the pay
ment OF death benefits Of $5.s46,516.-
10. which amount includes a greatly
augmented death loss caused by the
fatalities OF the terrific epidemic pre-
vailing over the country, tho executive
committee were able to transfer ST.
100000 to the emergency fund and to
invest this amount in high grade and
attractive securities at exceptionally
favorable prices
Truly indeed the increase In this
fund should impress our membership
and create enthusiasm which should
result in substantial growth OF the
order.
The patriotic contribution Of $751;

eral fund and made possible IAN ag-
