THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF JUSTION TABLE OF RATES. Took Effect May 1, 1913, on the Attained Age of all Beneficiary Members in Good Standing on That Date. Every member makes his first payment under the new rate on assessment No. 5, due the Financier during the month of May, 1913, and each month thereafter. Members joining after May 1, 1913, pay on their attained age at the time they take the examination.

Did you notice that this month's collection to beneficiary funds under the new rate is $7012 17, larger than the last collection at the old rate? And that to leave out of the calculation all of the members who were suspended. This is encouraging and looks as though the S. D.

of J. did the right thing and what they had to do to save the order. But just think how much larger and stronger it would have made the finances of the order if all of our members had paid up at the ne rates. We wanted you to do it. We favored you to get you to stay and after ading all of us at attained age, according to the expectancy of life.

We stopped at our highest rate on the membe from 54 and 55 at $2.50 on the thousand and then all of our older members from 55 and up got the benefit of the same rate, where if we had carried it up at the same provision, those from 55 up to 70, (and all who joined 15 years ago at 55 are now 70), would have a rate of $5.00 on the $1,000. Then that would have frozen out the old bers for sure But what we want to do now is for every de uty and every member to commence now to go out and get all of the suspended members back who have not reached the age of 50 and before they will have to furrish a certficate of health or pass another examination for reinstatement. Come on now. Let us put in One Thousand of these suspended members this month. Let everybody work and work now.

"Show them that the Order is moving and co lecting some where near what they ought to, to make the Order safe an' sound. Remember, we cannot reinstate where the mem ber has reached the age of 50, the new age limit. We are sorry but cannot help it. We are sure that many of them would like to get back, but we have to keep within the law. We gave warning after warning in the official paper and circular, that a member who had reached 50 and was out more than 30 days could not be reinstated.

You listened to others instead of listening to your National Council officers and reprsentatives and deeply as we rerget it, we cannot help Good Suggestion-Read, your Paper. Chanute, July 10, 1913. Dear Bro. Walker: In talking to a member of our Order a question was asked me that had been made plain in our last paper. After giving her the desired information, I remarked.

Did you not see it in the Sons and Daughters of Justice paper? She answered, "'I must plead guilty to the fact that I do not read the lodge papers. So there you are. All fraternal members should read their paper and then they would be in touch with the progress and growth of the Order, a8 many edicts are given through the paper that every one should know and by the careful reading of our regular issues, we would have a membership always well informed as to the plans and purposes of the Order. Let me urge upon all our members to read carefully their lodge papers. I want to say to the members of all Councils, especially to those in my District, that a special effort be given during the summer months to extend theOrder.

A live and loyal get of officers can always have a quorum present and I want to insist on regular meetings of all Councils. We have a new Financier at Garnett, and I hope to be able to see Garnett grow. Our Chanute Financier. Bro. Herman Bertram and wife are making a visit to their old home at St.

Louis and vicinity We are doing some special work at Chanute this month and have visited at Paola, Iola and Humboldt. Will all our members inform themselves as to our new rules and features and help us to add new members right along to our Order? Fraternally yours, H. F. Hitchcock, District Deputy. From Bro.

Pearman. Waterton, S. May 26, 1913. Dr. Leslie Leverich, Financier, S.

D. of Kansas City, Kansas. Dear Sir and Brother: I want to congratulate every delegate who attended the Pittsburg National Council, and voted to put the Sons and Daughters of Justice on a solid foundation. Bully for them. The only kick that 1 have coming is to kick myself because I neglected to get more of the splendid protection that the Society will be able to furnish.

I noticed in the May issue of the official paper a letter from Rro her J. R. Burton. His advice to the membership 18 full of good common sense and I hope the good Sisters and Brothers will read it and stop and think before they decide to quit the society that stands for Justice to all, and go chasing after some rainbow society that promises too much for the money paid. I want to say to you, Bro.

Leverich, that the past record of the Sons and Daughters of Justice should be an inspiration to the entire membership, and it is our honest duty to each other and to the society at large to boost, boost, then smile and boost, boost some more. I enclose money draft for assessments and dues under new rates and also my best wishes for the happiness and prosperity of Phoenix Council, No. 25. Yours fraternally, E. Pearman, Past President Phoenix Council.

From Hutchinson. Hattie Dressler of Hutchinson Council No. 34 says: "We are at work trying to get new members to build up our Council and the Order." That is good, Sister Dressler. We congratulate your Council and hope many other Councils will follow your worthy example. -W.
