The establishment of great many
of the lodges in the West was made
by some of the membership of No. II,
due to their enthusiastic missionary
work for an organization that has
proved of incalculable benefit to its
members. They have at all times
taken an active part in the progress
of organized labor; are broad and lib
eral in their view on every subject,
are inspired by a lively civic pride,
and are well and favorably known by
the business community of Denver.
In addition to maintaining the in
surance in the brotherhood, they have,
in connection with the other two
lodges located in Denver. established
a local sick benefit fund: and has n

DENVER TO TAKE WAR BONDS.
Workingmen Can Subscribe in Small
Denominations if They Choose.

Inquiries to Denver banks and finan-
cial houses concerning the forthcom-
ing $1,000. 900 900 war loan voted by
congress have been numerous and give
promise of resulting in a large
amount of money being invested
therein by Denver and Colorado cit
liens.
Altho it probably will be several
weeks before the actual bonds are on
the market thruout the country, a
temporary issue of,S200. 900 900 worth
of certificates has been oversubscribed.
Denver has done its share in respond
ing to the financial needs of Uncle
Sam.
When these certificates expire July
/. 1917. they can be exchanged for
their equivalent in cash or in the bonds
of the great war loan. Judging by
the requests for these certificates and
and for options on the bonds when
they shall appear, Denver bankers be-
lieve this city will subscribe a surpris-
ingly large sum toward prosecuting
the war against Germany.
Banks and brokerage houses as well
as individual investors are buying
these certificates and sending in re-
quests for the war loan bonds. Finan-
cial experts declare that results will
show the American public is ready
to make ''the sky the limit" in back
ing up its government in time of in
ternational conflict. Therefore, they
assert, the S7,000,0 100000 issue will
not be hard TO dispose of thruout a
nation of 11S,000,000 persons.
