c. n. r. RIEPEN.
A Good Friend of Labor Who Is En-
+. titled to Support.

We take pleasure in stating that the
subject of this sketch, the well known
district deputy head consul of the
Modern Woodmen of America, Mr..
Riepen, whose office is at 100 South
Fifteenth street, has in no half-hearted
way shown where he stands on the
great question Of labor.
There can be no doubt of the de-
STABILITY of giving Mr.. Riepen a lib
eral share of our support and patron
age.
For many years he has been resi-
dent of Omaha and his been intellect
and executive ability has gained for
him an enviable reputation as fra
terna! organizer and insurance man.
The Modern Woodmen, though COM
paratively young, has had a phenome
nal growth and is now the strongest
of fraternal insurance orders.

One of the Greatest FraternaI Socie-

Self preservation is the first law of

and entered the fields of suffering and
misfortune, thus fulfilling its mission,
exerting a powerful influence that will
never cease.
The members of this society are true
noblemen, and if we could convert
the "w" in Woodmen to a 'g" we could
give them an appropriate name.
The membership is increasing rap
idly each year, and especially in this
enterprising and prosperous western
city where everything that is good is
highly appreciated and patronized.
A few figures will give the readers
an idea of the proportionate gain OF
members during the past few years.
During the eleven months ending
November, 1905, 65,483 applications
were enrolled which registered net
gain of about 100000 During the same
length of time in 1908, 59,159 and in
1904, 54,555 certificates were issued
with a net gain nearly as large as dur,
ing 1905. Thus far this year shows a
material increase over last year. Over
