UNCLE WIGGILY'S THREE
ICICLES

Hanging down from the edge of
the roof on Uncle Wiggily's hollow
stump bungalow were three iciclcs.
One was long, th,n icicle. Another
was middle sized, thin iciclc. and
the third was Il short, fat iciclc.
Lest YOU may not know what ic-
icles are, if you happen to live in
the warm Southland where none are
ever seen, viii tell you icicles are
drops of water. frozen one after the
other, as they drip off the roof from
melting snow. Thus icicles grow
very long and thin, sometimes, as
more drops of snow water freeze to
their ends.
"Oh, no. Three icicules,' cried
Uncle Wiggily one day as he hoped
out of his bungalow and saw them
dangling from the edge of his roof.
1 wonder how long they will stay
there! y went on the rabbit gentle
man. 'Not long, think, ii the
warm sun begins to melt them. -
But the sun was behind some
clouds, the day was cold and the
icicles dangled straight and stiff
from the roof, like soldiers stand.

BIG BOXING CARD
COMING NEXT MONTH

"Chick" Ferguson went to
Great Falls this week to attend
the boxing program to be put OF
Saturday night by the American
Legion. This is a big sport event
with a big squad of the most
noted ring men of the North
west meeting in nine bouts.
Ferguson will make it one of
the objects of his visit to get in
touch with some of the talent that
will be present with a view to
getting them on a boxing card
which it is expected will be held
here about the middle of next
month. If plans carry this will
be the most attractive collection
of glove bouts ever brought to
the city. "Chick" expects to take
part in the main event. Among
the men Ferguson is after for the
card are Harry Krosky, Bismarck;
Young Cavanaugh, Miles City;
Young Trochy, Havre; Bud Bart
lett, Great Falls and Swede
Gorick of Glendive who was on
here once before.

men.
In conclusion, Mr.. Fearn spoke
of the Workmens' department of
juvenile insurance, which was add
ed the first of this year. Children
are insured at any age up to 16,
after which they are eligible to
join the senior lodge. The rates
are exceedingly low with benefits
up to the sum Of 5000. Junior
lodges are organized, where de-
sired, with special rituals for the
use Of the junior members.
Tribute to Fraternity
Those who heard Mr.. Fearn's
talk felt that they had learned
far more about the order to which
they belong than they ever knew
before, and it was information
that made them glad they belong
to the order. The eloquent and
aptly illustrated tribute, which
Mr.. Fearn paid to the power and
influence of fraternity spirit in
general was a fine inspiration to
his hearers. He said that occas-
ionally we all encounter the man
who thoughtlessly voices the
opinion that fraternity is bunk.
He advised his brothers, when
they heard such opinion express
ed, not to become excited or lose
their tempers, but quietly to en-
deavor to show such person the
error of his assertion. He said
that among the great number of
strong ~fraternal orders, such as
the Odd Fellows, Masons, the
Knights of Columbus and the
Knights of Pythias, no one could
show where one of them had ever
taught it's members 10 do wrong,
but on the other hand had always
taught them to do right.

next engagement, but Mr.. Kiefe1
will remain in the city a few days

ORDER LAUDED
Continued from First Page
Builds Up Reserve

The Workman order, Mr.. Fearn
said, is the only insurance or
ganization that actually pays more
than it promises. Careful and
conservative business manage
ment and investment of the funds
of the order have built up a re
serve of half a million dollars.
Whenever a certificate, ordinarily
called a policy, becomes a claim
through the death of the insured,
whether it has run two years or
twenty, receives it's proportionate
share of the reserve fund in the
settlement. 1t was pointed out
by the speaker that n cause of
the exceptionally good condition
of the order is the high class of
risks that made up its member
ship as the result of very care
full work on the part of it's examin-
ing physicians. He said that IN
membership the order has had
such a remarkable and steady
growth that it has attracted the
attention of the whole insurance
world, old-line companies as well
as other fraternities. For sever
al years each succeeding year has
marked a new record in added
memberships. AS an illustration
of the care exercised in its risks.
he said that in 1925, although
the Workmen had many more
members than in 1924, it had few
er claims to pay.
Liberal In Policy
Taking up his own department,
insurance against disability from
sickness and accident, Nh. Fearn
explained how very broad and lib
eral were the terms of the pro-
lection offered by the Workmen.
Without diSparagement to com
mercial companies writing dis
ability insurance, the speaker ex-
planned from the standpoint of an
expert some of the clauses of a
standard policy and compared it
to the policy offered by the Work

The 18th

The Herald editor received a
communication through the mail
this week that touches on a big
subject, a subject to which the
editor has given more thought,
perhaps, than any other current
political or social issue. On some
week not so crowded with work
as this one it will be agreeable to
turn the matter oven. The edi-
tor is not averse to putting his
opinions on paper and letting it be
known who expresses them. An
unsigned letter is not entitled to
attention but the subject is of
such Importance as to justify
waving the point.
