Dear Sir and Friend: I am enclosing you herewith a blank for making appli cation for an increase of pension un der the new law. If you come under the provisions of this law, fill out the blank before an official qualified to administer oaths, and return to me, and I will 6ee to it personally that same is immediately filed with the pension department and looked after until the increase is grant ed.

Tavenner of Cordova, 111., is one. I also desire to give to the old sol diers of the Fourteenth congressional district a sample of the kind of service they will receive from their represen tative in congress if I am elected this fall. This is merely the kind of rep resentation the people are entitled to here in Washington, and the kind they have a right to expect. The increased pension rates become effective from, the day the application WOODMEN BELIEVE IN POWER OF ADVERTISING It pays to advertise. This Is one of the Issues on which the Modern Wood men of America will not compromise. Head Clerk Hawes in a communica tion to the nearly 16.000 camps of the society urges upon them advertising in the local newspapers whenever they have on hand a campaign for new members, an entertainment, or any other enterprise that is to be brought to public attention. He recommends the local newspaper as the best pos sible advertising medium for the local camp. It is not available for all purposes, however, and in the work of informing the local camps concerning the reai justment of rates the Modem Wood men of America since the meeting of the head camp at Buffalo, N. Y., In June, 1911, have issued about five pieces of literature for each dollar of the national debt. The list includes official reports and all documents bear ing on the question of rates. The larg est item is a folder containing a com plete presentation of the new plau3 and rates. This was issued aftr the adjourned meeting at Ch.cago in Jan uary last. The matter ns been pre sented in 86 different forms, all of which have been supplied to each of the 16,000 camps of the society for the informstlon of the society's 1,200,000 members. Eajh memoer slso receives the monthly pabli-.-iMon cf the society, The Modem Woodman, in 2nd floor take elevator for increase Is filed, so It is a matter of dollars and cents to hustle the ap plication back at the earliest possible moment.

The democrats in both the house and sen ate also worked for the Sherwood bill until they saw it would have to be the compromise bill or nothing. The man principally responsible for the defeat of the Sherwood bill was United States Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, who seems to be interested In no class of American citizens except the Mormons and the millionaires who own the tar iff trusts. If I can be of service to you here at any time, in any manner, you have only to call on me. Sincerely, your friend, CLYDE H.
