Assessments are officially ordered six times a year, viz: Jan. 1, March 1, May 1, July 1, Sept. 1 and Nov. 1 Can I join the aid degree without joining the Alliance? Certainly not. You would not ask to become a 32d degree mason without passing through the lower degrees. Just so, you cannot join the second degree of the Alliance without first becoming a member in tho regular way. Organize an Alliance and

then form an Aid Degree lodge. Parties can write to C. Vincent at Indianapolis or James Welsh at Rensselaer regarding the establishment of a Degree lodge and we hope the farmers will generally engage in this work.
