An Aid Degree lodge was formed in No. 3,127, Lafayette county, Missouri, last month. Still they come! Another aid degree lodge was organized in No. 3,065, Lafayette county, Missouri, and a start made in No. 3,064. A life insurance policy in the Alliance Aid is beyond the reach of the assessor or tax gatherer; the sheriff can never touch it, but at a cost of only about 1 per cent per annum (ranging from half of 1 per cent to 2 per cent), you add SI,OOO to your estate for the benefit of dear ones at the darkest hour they will ever see. The March assessment of the National Alliance Aid is made to pay death losses as follows: Geo. W. Gust. Preston. Kan., $2,000; James W. Cook. Warner, S. D., $2,000; James T. Alexander, Augusta. Kan., $1,000; George F. Covil, Aberdeen, S. D.. $2,000. The families of the above deceased brothers will be placed beyond the danger of immediate want by their foresight in taking a policy in the Aid Degree, and when it comes our turn to join them ‘'over there” the brothers will do for our families what we now do for these.

The fraternal orders furnish the cheapest kind of life insurance in the world, and the farm-ers-live longer than other classes, accordingly the death rate is l:>wer than in other occupations —therefore, it naturally follows that life insurance furnished in our own order will be cheaper than in any other order—the cheapest in the world. The following counties in Indiana are now represented in the Aid Degree: Boone, DeKalb, Green. Hamilton, Henry, Madison, Marion and Tipton.

Next week we will give our readers the'costof life insurance in this order, which has established such an enviable record for careful management as shown by the low death rate, and which is controlled by the national ex- , ecutive committee of the Aliii ance. The members of the ori ganization no longer need to look i outside for safe insurance. Their 1 own order ranks among the safest 1' and cheapest in this country. 1

Forty Aid Degree Lodges of the Farmers’ Alliance were formed in the first three months of this year with a charter membership of nearly 700. Jasper Co. has done well to make a start in ibis direction. C. Vincent, the State Lecturer and a director in. the Degree Lodge, spent a few days in the county and established a lodge Oneai Fair Oaks in Union tov’nship, with some of the most subtantial and influential citizens of the county as charter members. Jas. Welsh and M. ’i. Slaughter, well known in many counties as successful organizers will assist in introducing this new feature in Alliance work. The profusion of beautiful hats at, Mrs. Imes’ from the deft hands of her expert trimmer is one reason why ladies crowd her counters Another reason is that at no other place is there such a complete stock of up-to-date shapes, flowers and ornaments. and at prices no higher than elsewhere.

Henry Vincent, editor .of the Chicago Searchlight-Age, came down upon the Pilot’s helmsman Saturday evening and broke bread with him until Monday morning. Henry is one of the most forceful writers upon the reform press of America, and by the recent consolidation of his paper with the Age, a combination of the greatest value to the cause has been made. The firm is backed by sufficient capital to put the paper on a solid basis. The paper is a large 7-column 8 page sheet, and its price is SI.OO per year. It at once takes first place in the field of reform papers.
