During December there were 402 Beneficiary Certificates issued to new members, of which 65 were full rate Beneficiary Certificates whose average age was 31 years, 0 months, 14 days and 282 were half rate Beneficiary Certificates, whose average age was 28 years, 3 months and 14 days.

6 were $1500 Beneficiary Certificates whos'j average age was 27 years, 6 months and 0 days, and 49 were $500 Beneficiary Certificates whose average age was .27 years, 5 months and 4 days. Installation of Officers. On the first meeting night in January, 1914, the installation of officers should take place in every lodge except in lodges meeting semi-monthly and organized since July 1, 1913, and lodges meeting weekly and organized since October 1, 1913. In such cases, there having been no election of officers in December, there can of course, be no installation of officers in January. The Installing Officer is the lodge Deputy, or in his absence, any Past Master Workman of the lodge.

The Installing Officer, before proceeding with the ceremony of installation, should know that the Semi-Annual Report has been made out and signed and the order for Per Capita Tax has been drawn. He should also know that the bonds required by the Bylaws and the Constitution of the Grand Lodge have been arranged for, and if already delivered by the National Surety Company, have been paid for.

As it will be necessary for this office to compile the statistics for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1913 and make the annual report of the Grand Lodge to the Superintendent of Insurance, and as the membership on Jan. 1, 1914 is necessarily based on Returns on Call No. 1 sent in January, a special request is personally made to the Subordinate Lodge Officers that they see that the Returns on call No. 1 for January get to this office at the earliest possible date.
