editorial entitled "Why not?" In when

the Woodmen of the World to invest
the equalization of reserve fund OF tnal
order in the territory from which 1t Is
derived. 1t says: I'm that way we
will not only be helping to develop
those states and help along our organ
ization, but at the same time we VIII
have the reserve fund so invested as 10
be able to keep a close watch upon IT,
The Woodmen of the World In Los
Angeles would be very glad to see
some of the money paid by the local
members invested In local bonds. They
are sure that Los Angeles and vicinity
can furnish as good security as any
other section in the United States and
at as great a revenue to the investor.
The Herald joins the Woodmen In
request to the head managers or that
body to get in touch with bonds offered
for sale In these parts.
