term mechanics is speculative, as men
prominent In all trades and profess
! sions are proud to be known as MEM
bers of this patriotic and fraternal
order of native Americans. The orig
inal members Of the order were me-
chanics in fact as we'll as name, they
deeming it necessary even at that early
day to unite themselves against foreign
encroachment in every form. Coun-
ellis of the Junior Order United Amer
lean Mechanics are now established in
| every town of any size in Minnesota.
A national orphans home has been es-
tablished by the order at Tiff1n, O.,
