I feel myself liicoinpeteut to the task
of writing on the subject of grunge life
Insuraue«*. but gladly give you tuy |««r-
so mil views U| hhi this question. When
1 was connected with the state ami
national grange the quentlon of life
lusurauce was often discussed In our
executive meetings, but finally left
without any positive reciMuuieudatloM
to the sulsirdlnstv granges. The grange
theoretically should Is* as eonipetvut to
mauage life as tire Insurance, which
they are doing very successfully and
profitably In nearly all of the states.
One of the serious hindrances to grange
life Insurance Is the age of our mem
bership. You are aware that a ma
jority of our memlier» are past thirty-
five years of age. consequently rates
must Is* con***poudliigly high If such
coiiquinles are to lie and remain tluau-

lieyond question It would result In
disaster to our Order. We have tiatay
several fraternal organisations that
are purely life lusuramv. They are so
tlrtnlj- establlaiusl that It would be
hazardous for our Order to undertake
comfietltiou with them. Therefore I
believe It should uot l>e done by the
grange.
No organization In existence has ■»>
many Important problems and ques
tions before It for solution as the
grange, amt until we can solve the
problem of how to k<*vp our boys and
girls upon the farm ami how to make
our farms more profitable it will be
