The Ancient Order of United Work
men, North Dakota jurisdiction, had
no business connection with the old
Montana order. The lodges were un-

business was separate.
The North Dakota jurisdiction
changed to the Legal Reserve plan in
May. 1904. and has since been Great

ton has made full and complete pro
vision for all present and future liza
bilities and contingencies.
The A. o. u. W. sells insurance at
the net cost. It's net costs are lower
than other lines simply because of the
economy of operation due to the fra
ternal lodge features.
Fraternal insurance companies are
being driven to the legal reserve ba-
sis in order to maintain solvency and
make adequate provision for increased
risks of advancing years. The A. o.

Commencement

Last Thursday was Commencement
day in the Belt Valley high school.
Though rather wet, a large crowd
were present in the auditorium to see
the young people receive their diplo-
mas. The program opened with an
invocation by the Rev. A. p. Alton
which was followed by the salutatory
of Mabel Wood, who ranked second
highest in scholarship in the four
years work. This salutatory was well
written and well delivered and re-
ceived merited applause. The girls
glee club, under the leadership of Miss
Kyle, then sang.
Following this was the address TO
the graduating class by the Rev. l.. l..
Totten Of Great Falls. The subject Of
the address was "World Wide Oppor-
tunity for American Youth" and the
theme contained much that was valu-
able and appropriate.
After another number by the glee
club, Helen Depew gave the valedic-
tory as the ranking student Of the
class in a most pleasing and satisfac-
tory manner.
Superintendent J. r. Culver then IN
well chosen words presented the class
to the school board. Dominic Spogen,
chairman Of the board of trustees,
then handed diplomas to the twenty
three graduates.
Miss Clara Christison, county su-
perintendent, was then introduced and
on behalf of the state department
gave to the eleven graduates from the
Normal Training department their
teachers certificates which entitie
them to teach in the rural schools Of
the state for two years.
The usual flowers were presented
which marks an important day in the
life Of the boys especially, for roses
are seldom presented to a boy. At
terward came a reception for the
graduates and Commencement was
over.

of the sixth, the Wow catcher being
the first to face Morrow in the inning.
With the count 3 to 2 for the Vows,
