A local enthusiast in fraternal or- ganizations has compiled the follow- ing, as even amomng the members ot beneficiary societies there are few who realize how high the position among the great institutions of the world ‘Is that occupied by the fraternal insur- ance body. Nor do many grasp the magnitude of the work these organ- izations are”doing.

More than seven million people are enlisted in the movement. In exact fig- ures, there are 7,047,753 beneficiary members enrolled in the 170 societies operating in the Unitdd States. This vast army carries protection aggregating $8,595,911,684. More than eight and one-half billions of dollars. Already, since this form of insuranceo came into existence, there has been paid out in benefits tgumembers more than one billion eight hundred and twenty-five millions. January 1, 1911, the aggregate assets of the fraternal orders amounted to $152,201,246, with liabilities of less than fifteen and one-half millions. The records for 1910 show an aggre- gate income of $116,729,219; disburse- ments $100,368,385, of which $86,011,- 170 went to pay benefits to members. During theyear protection was writ- | ten for one and one-eighth millions of people, and an aggregate amount of something more than one billion onz hundred and thirty million dollars. The net increase for these 17 eties for the year 1910 was 311,82 REBEKAHS. At their next meeting, which is next Wednesday evening in Odd Fellows’ hall, Hope Rebekah lodge.
