The Far n Record, the official paper of the State Alliance, a 10-page monthly, price 50c a year, will be sent free to every subscriber of the People’s Pilot who pays 11.00 on account, past, present or future. This ofFer is made in place of any other premium offer. The Aid Degree has paid over $20,000 in death accident benefits from January 1, 1894, to February i, 1895. An Aid Degree lodge was formed in No. 3,127, Lafkyette 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 11,000 to your estate for the benefit of dear ones at the darkest hour they will ever set. The March assessment of the National Alliance Aid is made to pay death losses as follows: Geo. W. Gust. Preston. Kan., 12,000; James W. Cook. Warner, S. i)., #2,000; James T. Alexander, Augusta. Kan.. #1,000; George i F. Covil, Aberdeen. S. D., #2.000. iThe families of the above deceased brothers will .be placed beyond the danger of immediate want by their foresight iu taking a policy in the Aid Degree, and when it comes our turn to joiu 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 farmers live longer than other classes, accordingly the death rate is 1 jwer 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 cost of 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 executive committee of the Alliance. The members of the organization no longer need to look outside for safe insurance. Their own order ranks among the safest and cheapest in this country.
