ENTERTAIN. RETURNED BOYS.
Soldiers and Sailors to Meet at Court
House Friday Evening.

On Friday evening at $50 o'clock
on the court house square, there will
be a reception for our returned boys
who have been in the service of the
army or navy, at home and abroad.
A special invitation will be sent
to the boys and all relatives and
friends are cordially invited to at
tend.
This entertainment is being given
under the auspices of the local Red
Cross chapter, and every released
boy in Bamberg or immediate vicin-
ity is expected to, be present. As
there is no official list of these men
available at this time, it is possible
that the committee may inadvertent-
ly omit some from the list to whom
special invitations will be sent, and
if any man who has been in the SER
vice or navy should fail to receive
an invitation, he is most cordially in
vited to come anyway. The families
and friends of the men are also in
vited.
1t is planned a little later to hold
a welcome home meeting for the en-
tire county.
Refreshments will be served, and
there will be short talks by several
speakers.

those in question had possessed a
moving van. they might have taken
the furniture and maybe a stove. but
as 1t was the alleged thieves contented
themselves with taking only bedding
and clothes valued at S131. according
to report filed with the police by r.
n. Hunnicutt. 1855 F. avenue west.
The Hunnicutts left their house in
October, 1918, on a. visiting trip and
when they returned a. few days ago
they found that someone had entered
the house and helped themselves very
literally to those articles considered
necessary to comfortable repose.
namely. eight sheets. five pillow slips.
bed spread, pillow. a quilt, two
comforters. a mattress and blankets.
In addition to this let. it ia also re-
ported that the miscreants took some
handy articles Of clothing such as one
bathrobe, a pair OF slippers. silk
dress. a velvet coat, spring coat and
set Of dishes valued at twenty
dollars. Detectives have been assigned
to the case and the police hope to
have some evidence soon. The fact
that the exact date of the entrance is
not known complicates matters con-
siderably

The order had been collecting an as
sessment Of 20 cents per $1,000 for
patriotic fund 20 meet the death claims
of it's soldier and sailor members, ana
about $4,000, 100 was on hand in this
fund. This will be transferred TO the
general fund until the present emer-
gency is over, and the collection OF
the patriotic fund assessment Will be
continued until the new rates can ne
put in force.
This will take several months. as
law was passed in Illinois at the time
the 1912 increase in rates was defeat-
er requiring a referendum of the mem
bership on any increase IN rates. Ins
law prescribes the manner in which
this referendum is to be taken, and "
is estimated that it cannot be COM
pleted and the new rates put into effect
before July 1. 1t is not believed tnalr
the referendum can defeat the action
of the head camp, since the law pro-
yides that the increased rates. shall
stand unless a majority Of the enure
membership Of the order votes asans1
them.
AS experience has shown that a COM
paratively small proportion OF the
membership at large will vote either
way on such a proposition it is regard
ed as certain that majority IN oppo-
sition cannot ne secured.

N. W. A. BOOSTS RATES.
Increase Forced BY High Death Rate
Duo to "Flu" Epidemic.

Duo to "Flu" Epidemic. .
Chicago. March 2S.--More than q
million members Of Modern Woodnen
Of America, The largest among the fra
ternaL insurance organizations, had
their rates increased yesterday to
meet the Abnormal death losses result
INK from the influenza epidemic. On
the present membership the increase
is fiat advance OF SO por cent, and all
new members joining hereafter Will
have to pay materially Increased rates.
Even this ~ not q strictly actuarial
adequate rate" bit 1t Is as far as the
membership could be induced TO go at
this time.
The action was taken al the spe-
clal meeting Of the head camp of the
order in sess. on at the Hotel Sher-
man. 1t was called when the enor-
nous influenza losses showed that the
sl2,000,000 OF securities which had
been accumulated during more than
twenty years. would be consumed be-
fore June. and that unless prompt ac-
ton was taken the order would not
be able to meet its death claims. For
several years the deaths have been
81 000,0 a year ahead of the assess
ments, as the Woodmen, operated on
very low rates, and since October the
death claims have averaged $4,000. 900
u month more than the receipts.
Two tables of rates were adopted,
one for new members and the other
for the present membership. The table
for new mem bers Is based upon the ex-
perence of the Modern Woodmen OF
America, representing the largest
number of lives in any such society.
1t Ia materially lower than the national
fraternal congress table OF rates. the
mortality experience OF the Woodmen
having been more favorS BILE than the
mortality of The fraternals in general.
This will meet the requirements OF the
adequate rate laws of the various
states. They are the increased rates
which were adopted by the head camp
which met in Chicago in 1912, but
which were repndiated at that time by
the membership at large, which Sc
cured injunctions in number OF states
preventing their collection.
The table for the present members
increases the present rates 90 per cent,
beginning with Is cents per $1,000 OF
insurance at ages II to Is. and increas-
ing by 8 cents until 3l.60 IL reached
at the age IS, above which the rate Ii
stationary.
The new monthly assessments for
$1,000 insurance are as follows, apply
ing at age Of entry instead OF at at
tanned age.

Constantinople, Feb. 2s.--Contrary to
reports Turkey is well supplied with
food. and. while prices are unusually
high, they are much lower than those
prevailing in the Balkan states and in
some other countries Of Europe.
The following list Of currdnt prices
which the consumer Is called upon to
pay shows the actual condition:
Flour, % cents q pound; potatoes II
cents; beans, 20 cents; meat 30 cents;
..a cg.s 90 "anfa dozen.
Vegetables Of all kinds are not only
abundant but relatively cheap. Cloth
ing and shoes may be had, but general-
Nv the prices charged are so high as
to take them far beyond the purses OF
the poor. Hotel rates are lower IMAM
in most European cities, and the SER
vice is as good as could be expected
in a country just emerging from long
war.
In order that foodstuffs may be
placed within range of the poor, the
American food administration Is now
selling white flour at ten cents Q
pound, which il expected to bring down
other prices us far as the actual nee
esstties are concerned. the work OF
