FORESTERS' COURK
DISCUSS REVENUES
Plans Considered for Increased
Weekly Dues and a Maximum
of Beneficial Features
Owjng to the Lenten penitential season
nnd In deference to tho convictions of
many members. Court Pontlac, No. 144,
which meets at 1208 South 23d street,
has postponed Its social activities until
the session of Kaster week. What the
last meeting lacked In merrymaking fea
tures, however, It made up In serious con
sideration of Intellectual thoughts for the
betterment of tho membership. The
round tnble conversations dealt with the
pertinent query, "Whnt would a weekly
dues of 20 cents give each member?"
The discussion disclosed that the extra
penny n. week In Pennsylvania would
realize $26,000 a year, a sum sufficient to
strengthen every fund and Insure sol
vency without resort to cither direct or
Indirect assessment.
A resume of the past cenferences nn the
referendum question of benefits ns presented
hy Past Grand Chief Hanger C. Hrndley gives
the following analysis of tho wholo benefit
problem: For 17 cents n week, the present
dues, tho courts can give 15 a week sick bene.
(Its for 13 weeks, J2.B0 for 13 weeks and 3
thereafter during continuance of disability,
with freo services of physician nnd druggist;
also JI00 funeral benefits for a member or JuO
for wjfe.
For 18 cents a week dues, or an .Increase
of one cent per member, death benefits could
be Increased to J200. with m.for the wife of
n member. Sick benefits could be raised to
T a week for 13 weeks, 12.50 for 13 weeks
and Jl during continuance of disability, with
payments It needed nn aid from the genera
benevolent fund. Services of phjnlclan and
druggist could also be Included In thin plan,
which seems to bo tho one most generally ap
proved. An addition nf one cent more, or 10 cents, a
rfeek dues, would provide same benedtn nn for
18 cents o week and also would provide for the
maintenance of 40 beds yearly In hospitals for
disabled members nnd 1111,000 early to sup
port widows and orphans.
These discussions have nwakened a keen In
terest In the prnrtlcal features of the relation
of dues to benelltn nnd will doubtless lead to
beneficial changes In tho methods of operation
ln"the monthly sessions et to bo held other
practical Questions will be considered by the
Inquiry class, with resultant good to tho
lUrtS In tha nnrrestlnn of rnnnv Ideas St least

ready to tell you a thousand practical things answer tho thousand
practical questions that come up every day about your business or
profession. The new Encyclopaedia Brltannlca Is not a book for
"high-brows" alone. It was made especially for tho busy men and
women of to-day. It will tell you everything about cotton spinning, or
the steel industry, or book-binding, about cement or gasoline 'manu
facture, or sugar-making or China, or Canada or Cambodia; advise you
about ceramics or printing or electric lighting or glass or co-oporatloa
and profit-sharing or the Franco-Prussian War or munitions or dust.
There never was any book like It In the history of tho world. Juat
to prepare this new Eleventh Edition required eight years of editorial
work, and cost a million and a hair of dollars for this alone. The rich
est man In the world or the ICIner ot England or the Czar of all the
nussltis cannot buy a better book. And actually all of theLa own the
Encyclopaedia Brltannlca. So do the great Inventors like Mr. Edlaoti
