THERE’S A REASON
WHY THE MOOSE LODGES
ARE GROWING SO FAST
The Loyal Order of Moose of the World was first organ
ised at Louisville, Kentucky, on April 12, 1888. For a short
time its membership was confined to the mother lodge, but
soon it began to spread. Today there are 2,000 lodges with a
membership of more than one million. The Moose are grow
ing faster than any other fraternal order. There is a reason.
The Moose pays its members a benefit of $10 per week when
misfortune overtakes them and they fall sick. The Moose
provides for the burial of its deceased members and cares for
their loved ones left behind. Their children are educated
and given a chance to win in the battle of life without handi
cap. The order provides for the declining days of Moose,
both men and women. The charter initiation fee is only $10
and dues $3.25 quarterly.
There is no better way to provide for the future of your
family than by becoming a member of the Moose. For fur
ther particulars see National Director J. Frederick Johnson.
“Get the password, get the rap;”
“Join the Moose and be a PAP!”

KIPLING SAYS ENGLAND
WOULD CEASE TO EXIST
Rudyard Kipling delivered a pa
triotic speech at a Brighion mass
meeting urging activity in enlistment
in the regular army. He declared the
war on the part of the allies to be
in the interest of civilization and hu
man freedom. In part, he said:
“It is not conceivable that the al
lies will fail. If they do the lights
of freedom will go out over the. whole
world.
“Germany has been preparing for
the war for two generations. Her
real objective, as she has .always told
us, is England and England’s wealth,
trade and world wide possessions.
"If you assume for an instant that
that attack will be successful, Eng
land will not be reduced, as some
people say, to the rank of a second
rate power, but we shall cease to ex
ist as a nation. We shall become an
outlying province of Germany, to be
administered with what severity Ger
man safety and interest requires.”
Michael Brenner, a watchman who
escaped from the Admiral Sampson,
has embarked on the sea of mat
rimony. He took advantage of his
vacation to marry Miss Louise B.
Moon, of Seattle.

VALDEZ ELECTRIC COMPANY
Supplies, light, power and telephones at rates
slightly above cost of/operation. Its franchise allows
it no more than a small margin.
This is the consumers’ company and it is con
ducted on the belief that the people are willing to
pay reasonable prices for what they use, and that
they do not want any body to lose money in legitimate
business any more than they want to pay swollen
profits on watered stock.
QUERY:—If the Seattle-owned electric company can afford to
furnish telephones for $1 a month and electric current
for 2 cents a kilowatt how much did it make on tele
phones at $5 a month and “juice” at 15 cents a kilo
| watt when it had a monopoly before the people’s com
pany was organized?
