A GLIMPSE AT OUR HONORED GUESTS TODAY (Continued from Page 1, Section 6) They like to be associated with others in benevolent enterprise, to feel the success of co-operative endeavor. And when a man or woman devotes his whole life to such work we believe there Is something fine In Ills soul. That la the Impression we have of C. L. Vrooman. member of the hoard of directors of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen. Mr. Vrooman was formely with the Modern Woodmen of America but left that organization In 1901 to take a contract us district deputy for the Yeomen in Missouri. Kansas City has been the center of his activities. In 1901 there were only about three thousand Yeomen In the state of Missouri, and a thousand of these resided in Kansas City. Mr. Vrooman took hold of the work with faith in his heart and energy in his feet and things began to happen. In 1905 he was appointed state manager of Missouri. Durlug the entire time he had charge of this Jurisdiction the state of Missouri led all other states in Yeoman territory in the production of new business. That record needs no further comment and no embellish ment; it speaks for itself. The Society now has about 31,000 members in Missouri, and 9,000 are in Kansas City. Mr. Vrooman was elected a member of the board of directors of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen In 1917. He has devoted himself to the larger affairs of Society management with the same faith, and energy as he displayed in building up the Yeomen in Missouri. His associates speak of his ability and earnestness in warm ; terms. S. E. WlLSON—Director Senator S. E. Wilson, member of the directory board of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen, is a typical representative of the hardy pioneers of the middle west who were born to the hardships of the farm, and who grew to manhood, through years of hard work, hard times and hard conditions —vicissitudes that w T ould appall the average young man of today. He was born on an Illinois farm, raised on an lowa farm, taught school, worked his w’ay through Simpson College and received his degree with class honors. That is a brief biography, but it brings him to the threshold of a remarkably successful career. While he is a product of Simpson College, his veal alma mater was the years of contact with the rough work and rugged characters of the farm. In such environment he got his first lessons in fraternalism. The lives of the people of the community were intimate, interwoven and interdependent. A man accepted help as a right due him rather than as a charity. On leaving school, he was elected county superintendent of schools. Page county, lowa, youngest in the state, and served six years, studying law in the meantime. Passing the bar examination, he moved to Dakota territory and opened a law office at Hot Springs. Again public life called him and for ten years he was state's attorney. His record in that office stands as a monument to his ability and fidelity to the territory and the youngest state and to the people who gave him their support and confidence. He was elected to the senate and was chosen president pro tem, of that body.. He immeditely became a leader, and the statutes of that state bear evidence of his contribution to the rising young empire of South Dakota. He has held many other positions of trust and confidence. In 1905 he was elected a member of the Yeoman board of directors, and is

His fund of knowledge his quick repartee, Ills fine humor and his splendid delivery murk him as one of the orators officially connected with the Society. His scholarly attainft nts enable him to grace any public function. Above all, his sense of justice and big heart cause him to see and know the rights of the membet In the adjudication of claims against the Society. To him has fallen the task o, a dusting numerous claims against the association involving many thousands of dollars-—and few. if any, complaints have been heard from claimants. Senator Wilson is a man of affairs, who has faithfully and efficiently discharged every duty, public and private, during Ills career of great activity. MARK T. McKEE, Director The trouble with so many stories of ] American success is that they are I alike. The poor boy starts in life ' from a pioneer homestead and by his own efforts educates himself, (prepares for law or a business, and becomes a leader, a statesman, or a power in the business of the financial world. Such success is truly American; so many men of big achievement in this country have traveled that route that it has become a formula. Mark T. McKee, member of the board of directors of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen, traveled that route,

but there is a difference in his story, in fact, everything that is written about him must be different. It must have a verve, a spontanlety, a gushing wee! of good cheer or it does not begin to do McKee justice. You who know him must certainly like him. There is no doubt about it. You who have never tpct him have something coming. His real fraternal fellowship, ills boyish enthusiasm and his capacity for accomplishing things warm the hearts of all who know him.
