L. M. L. A.
The Loyal Mystic Legion of America is a national beneficiary order organized by Hastings men and maintaining the head office in Hastings. The articles of incorporation were filed February 24, 1892. The incorporators were George O. Churchill, G. A. Wigton, James T. Ogden, Dr. F. J. Schaufelberger and James B. Heartwell.
The by-laws of the society provide for a supreme or governing body called the supreme council, and subordinate councils to be organ- ized in different localities. The first supreme officers elected were: James B. Heartwell, supreme councilor; James T. Ogden, supreme vice councilor; George O. Churchill, supreme secretary; G. A.

In 1900 the order erected its own brick office building upon the southeast corner of Second Street and Burlington Avenue. The building and the site are valued at $40,000. In insurance the stand- ard rate is maintained. The order has paid to the beneficiaries of deceased members more than $1,000,000 and has invested in farm and other securities more than $100,000.

WOODMEN OF THE WORLD
Camp 465, W. O. W. was organized in Hastings March 3, 1914.

Y. M. C. A.
The Young Men's Christian Association of Hastings was organized May 1, 1881, with a membership of thirty-four. The rooms first oeeupied were located upstairs at 720 West Second Street. After a few months the association removed its location to somewhat larger quarters in the basement of the building now occupied by the German National Bank. In 1885 the growth of the organization is indicated by its activity in erecting a building costing $5,000, at 214 North Lincoln Avenue. This building was the first in the state to be erected for the exclusive use of the Y. M. C. A. November 20, 1885, the importance of Hastings as an association eenter is shown by its selection as the location for the state convention of the organization, which met upon that date. One week before the assen- bling of the convention, the new building had been dedicated to its purposes. The building was built under the direction of Samuel Alexander, George F. Work and L. M. Campbell.
The first building erected was in 1889. exchanged for property in the disposal of the board of trustees of the Presbyterian Church, and in this transaction the association acquired the site upon which the present building stands and the Presbyterian Church building which was the home of the Y. M. C. A. until the present building was erected.
The contraet for erecting the present building was let in March, 1906. Building and lot is estimated to be worth between $30,000 and $40,000. Money for raising the present building was derived largely through subseriptions. The features of the building are natatorium, gymnasium, reading room and men's apartments in the second story.
