Work of the Organizers.

Organizers Vincent and Welsh completed the reorganization of Salem Alliance, south of Remington, in Benton county, vyith 25 members. Mr. Gibson was elected president and Wm. Smith, secretary, and the meetings are on Wednesday evenings at Rose Ridge school house. The Remington Alliance met and elected John Jordan president and C. W. Horner secretary.

A committee was appointed to solicit membership. This is the re-organization in one lodge of all the old alliances of Carpenter township and thia plsn will at once be put into operation in every township of Jasper county, where such a plan is more convenient to members than having separate lodges. Six new applications were made to the organizers for insurances policies in the Aid Degree, and the prospects are that a majority of the eligible members of the alliance will takeout policies.

Mr. Vincent returned to Indianapolis Saturday night where he will remain for about ten days, superintending the issuing of the official paper, the Farm Record, after which he will resume the work here. In the meantime Mr. Welsh will keep the ball rolling, and have ap pointments made for Mr. Vincent to fill on his return. Egypt alliance, in Jordan township, will hold its next reg ular meeting Saturday night, June 8. The officers are Frank Welsh, president; John U. Iliff, secretary; James Bullis, business agent. Purcy Alliance, Iroquois township. Newton county, meets alternately in the Iroquois school house on the 2d Saturday night In each month and in thg Purcy school house on the 4th Saturday night. The officers are John Putt, president; Mr. Galbreth. secretary; Geo. Galbreth, business agent. The Degree Lodge will be instituted at Center ■school house in Union township on Tuesday night, June 11 It is specially desired that al I members of the Aid degree be present to receive the degree work. Degree mem hers from other neighborhoods are invited to be present. The general organizer. C. Vincent, will be present and give the Degree work.

C. Vincent, of Indianapolis, state organizer of the F. A. & I. U., has been visiting Jasper. Newton and Benton counties in the interest of that order. The cooperative and business features have been developed to a higher degree of efficiency and the future of the order is more promising 1 han it has been for several years. The life insurance department or aid degree is now a prominent pip’t of Alliance work and one that promises to give solidity and permanence to the organization. This degree is conducted on much the .same principle as the Endowment Rank. K. of I’ . the A. O. U. W.. oi Modern Woodmen. Some of the distinctive features of the Alliance insurance are that members are permitted to draw their money in installments after the age of “H years thus in effect providing an endowment in old age, or if a member suffers the loss of a limb or an eye. a portion of the policy becomes payable to the holder. and he has his money to use in time of need. Another feature peculiar to this order is their ‘joint policy.” which may be taken by a husband and wife, payable to the survivor at the death of either. This is proving very popular in Jasper aud Newton counties, fully eighty per cent being of this kind. In the re-organiza-tion, partizan politics is not allowed to have a place in the lodge room but all farmers may meet on a level, do their own business and add to their opportunities for social and financial improvement. The Press wishes the Alliance unbounded success in its field of labor.—PressRemington, Ind.,
