WORDS TO HIS COUNTRYMEN

COL Roosevelt died about 4 O'Clock
on the morning Of January 6. The
previous evening at a great patriotic
rally in the New York HippOdrOme a
message was read from him, written
especially for the occasion. In 1t was
this striking sentence:

American flag, and this excludes the
red flag, which symbOlizes all wars
against liberty and civilization just as
much as It excludes any foreign nag
Of a nation to which-we are hostile,

Quoted by ths Colorado State Board

than $500 business and professional
in the smaller cities and
towns of Colorado. most of them being
excellent opportunities for those seek
ing new locations. The survey covers
@ bout 32j cities irru towns, and the
opportunities reported include more
than 100 lines of manufacturing, gen
pral business and professions.
The results of the survey are now
being catalogued in the office of the
immigration department and spec
ial line of advertising soon will be be
gun to supply the needs indicated by
the various towns reporting. In the
meantime the immigration department
desires to offer to Colorado people the
chance of selecting such openings as
they may be interested in. The list
includes banks, drug stores, general
stores, furniture stores, blacksmith
shops, barber shops, bakeries, laund-
ries, canneries, milk condenseries,
cheese factories. grain elevators, flour
mills, dentists, physicians, attorneys
and nearly 100 others. The business
and manufacturing opportunities are
generally not for the purchase of es-
tablished factories or business estab-
lishments, but for the opening of new
places in towns where the lines needed
are not represented. Any person in
tercsted in this long list of opportuni-
ties may obtain full information re-
garding the openings in any line by
writing to or calling at the office of

ties act passed by the Twenty-second
General Assembly. The work of COM
piling these reports will be begun at
once and asscssors that have not re-
ported are urged to do so as prompt
Isl as possible, so that the immigration
department may be enabled to furnish

BIGGEST CLASH HIS
TORY OF THE LODGE
One Hundred and Twenty-Five New
Members Will Receive the De-
grees on the Fourth Amir
versar! of Lamar Lodge
No. 1919.

Lamar Lodge No. 1919, Il. z. o.
Elks is going to put on one of the
biggest shows ever given in the his
tory of Lamar on Friday of next
week. May "a is the thirty-third
anniversary or tri-centennial of La
mar, and the fourth anniversary of
Lamar Lodge No. 1919, but owing to
the fact that it is Saturday the big
celebration has been set for Friday,
the 23rd. 1t will mark the biggest
membership increase in the history of
the lodge or of any strictly fraternal
lodge in Lamar. One hundred and
twenty candidates have been vot-
ed into the class for initiation next
Friday. They come from thirty miles
west to over one hundred east of La
mar and from the Missouri Pacific to
the Texas line. They with several
hundred visiting Elks will all be here
on next Friday for the biggest jam
boree ever known in the valley. The
entire day will be given over to furn-
ishing entertainment and sore spots
for the big class of candidates. The
famous La Junta degree team is pre-
pairing new methods of torture to use
upon the unwary candidates. They
are known all over the state for their
effective work, and their goats are all
fed on railroad scrap iron, and are
the most vicious in captivity.
There will be two big parades with
a big Jazz band and Colorado's big
gest Elk in the lead. The night par
ade will be illuminated. Prizes are
offered for the best decorated cars and
something unique is promised in this
line. A large number Of business
houses are TO be decorated for the
day, and in the evening General Man
ager r. II. Kelsey will let loose the
grandest and most gorgeous display
of fireworks ever seen in the valley.
With the advent of this new class the
membership roll of the lodge will
probably reach the total of three hun
dred members, and il will mean that
the lodge will be in shape to begin
work on the proposed new home and
club of the order, for which lots and
plans have already been secured.
The committee for the two big par
AIDES are arranging for some new
stunts in the line of floats and decora-
tions that will make them big features
of the days program. The day parade
will be nearly three miles long and
there will be plenty Of good music by
jazz bands and n steam calliope built
by Chairman Wooden at enormous ex-
pense especially for the occasion. A
rest room carefully fitted up with soft
cushions and equipped with full sup
ply of your favorite liniments and
soothing lotions will be another special
feature Of the occasion and will be
appreciated by the waiting candidates
between degrees.

MOOVIES TELL MUCH OF
TOWN OF MOOSEHEART
Local Moose and Friends See Pictures
and Hear Lecture on National
Home of the Order.

See it with your own eyes" the To-
cal lodge of Moose, which has been
conducting whirlwind campaign
yesterday said to initiates and others
among whom it hopes to find still
more candidates. The much-talked-of
Mooseheart moving pictures were
shown, both afternoon and evening, at
the America threatre. They are not
quite as good as visit to Mooseheart,
Ill, the national headquarters of the
order, but they are next best; and they
were a whole lot safer than would
have been visit to the front in
France, where they showed the Moose
to be busily engaged in war work. The
pictures had been announced and re-
announced and there was a large at
tnedance at both exhibitions. The au-
diences were made up of members Of
the local lodge and their friends.
This story of the unique town of
Mooseheart, city owned and operated
entirely by a fraternal order, and
which strives to be model city for
the rest of the country, was given by
ear as well as by eye.
T. VI. Howell, national director of
the order, who brought the pictures to
town, made an address last night a.
the pictures were shown. He formeri!
was a representative from this count!
in the state Legislature. He said in
part:

GIVEN
HEAVY HOUSE CUT
Urgent Deficiency Bill for
Employees Compensation
and Health Reported.

The urgent deficiency bill for the
employees compensation commission
and the public health service for the
fiscal year 1920, carrying a total of
House committee on appropriations.
The first bill to come out of the
appropriations committee following
the statement by Chairman Good that
the strictest economy would be eXer-
.cfsed shows that the estimate of s39,-
500 for contingent expenses of the
employees compensation commission
has been cut to $4,000. and the esti-
mates of $1.250.000 for the compensa-
ton fund have been reduced to ST.
100000.
Even a harder slash has been given
to the estimates for the public health
service for the care of war risk IN
surance patients and other benefici-
aries The estimates were for $6.ooo.-
900 and the amount r .s on men nm IN
committee therefore whitfield the to-
tal estimates down from S7,2S9,500 to
S3,110,000.
Chairman Explains.
Chairman Good. in making his re-
port. pointed out that the amounts
recommended for the employees COM
pensation commission are necessary
to provide payment for claims LOT
conversation under the provisions Of
the act of September Z. 1915. 1t is es-
timated, he said, that at present rates
of payment and allowance of claims
the compensation fund will be ex-
hausted by December "a. The differ
ence in the amount estimated by the
commission and the amount recon-
mended by the appropriations COM
mittee is due to elimination OF that
norton of the estimates which provid-
ed for the payment of compensation
claims to employees of the United
states Shipping Board Emergency
Fleet Corporation in the event the
commission should take over that
work.
War Risk ProvisiOn.
He explained that the amount rec
commended by the public health serv-
ice is necessary for the war risk in
surance patients and other benefi-
Charles entitled to care and treatment
by that federal agency. The sum of
S4,000.000 was appropriated for this
purpose in the sundry civil act ap-
proved July 10, 1919. This fund is
practically exhausted and the esti-
mated amount required to complete
the fiscal year of 1920 is $4,000, 900.
The committee recommends the imme-
date appropriation of $2,000.000 to
sustain the service until the total
needs for this purpose for the current

SENATE APPROVES
C0NFEREER REPORT
| ON FOREIGN CREDIT
Senator Gronna, Registering
Protest, Wants Double
Stock Liability.

The Senate adopted today the con-
ference report on the Edge bill aur
thoriZing organization of corpora
tions to extend credit in Europe to
stimulate export trade. No record
vote was taken and the measure now
goes to the President.
Senator Gronna, republican, North
Dakota, of the Senate banking com
mittee, spoke in opposition to the
conference agreement.
DENYING that the bill will regulate
foreign exchange, Senator Gronna
criticised the bill especially because
it fails to place upon stockholders OF
proposed financing corporations the
double-value liability imposed on
stockholders of real banks.
"No Share for Public
I'm no way will the public share in
the huge profits of these corporations,
said MT. Gronna. adding that he doubt
ed if the 'ultra-patriots" organizing
the corporations would subscribe for
stock if their liability was doubled.
Chairman Mclean, defending the
bill, declared that the financing COM
panies must be placed on an equal
footing with other concerns already
organized. whose stock does not bear
the double liability.
Senator Mclean urged approval OF
the bill, declaring it is the least that
can be done to assist re-eStabllShlng
European countries. Congress. he
said. should permit Americans to finance
their export trade and thus relieve the
exchange situation.
That the bill will result in increas-
ing American high cost of living was
asserted by Senator Gronna. declar-
ing that it would send more Ameri-
can products abroad and decrease
supply for our own country.
Wall Street journals, the North Da-
kota member said, have attacked him
for criticising the bill, and he added
that he regards the attacks as "a
certificate of honor"
"Not Trying to Defeat BILL
Mr.. Gronna said he was not trying
to defeat the bill, but wished to state
his position in favor of safeguarding
the legislation in behalf of American
interests. Denying that Congress can
affect foreign exchange by any legis-
lation, Senator Gronna said it should
take care that its acts do not give to
men of great wealth the power to die
tate prices in this country and abroad,
and even to control politics.
Agreeing with Senator Gronna that
legislation cannot stop normal opera
tions of foreign exchange, Senator
Smoot, republican, Utah. predicted
that Germany must adopt new money,
and that Americans specializing in the
present German mark will lose all their
investments.

TO FIGHT CONFIRMATION
OF REV. DR.. VAN SCHAICK
Piney Branch Citizens to Voice
Again Opposition to His Public
Preferment.

Steps to oppose the confirmation
of Rev DR.. John Van Schaick, jr.. as

last night by the executive commit
tee of the Piney Branch Citizens As
ISOLATION. L. b. Henderson, presi-
dent of the association, appointed q

The special committee is made up
of the following: George A. Finch.
Louis C. Julihn, Charles p. McCurdy

ed itself in opposition to the ap-
pointment of DR. Van Schaick. At

was pointed out, when the residents
of Piney Branch Park were contest
ing the location in their midst of the

a letter to the association in criti-
cism of it's attitude.
