les and distant states" and have full
rights to participate in the work Of
that International Assembly.
Below the Sovereign Lodge there is
a vast network of legal machinery.
In every state, territory and province
there is Grand Lodge and usually
Grand Encampment, each having
control over and supervising the work
in that political division. The Grand
Lodges of the American continent are
virtually independent. but all others
pay strict obedience to the mandates
of the Supreme Lodge. If you want
to family realize the vastness of this
complex organization, listen to this:
One Supreme Lodge ruling over seven
Independent Grand Lodges, sixty
eight Grand Lodges and fifty-eight
Grand Encampments. The Grand
Lodges supervise 1000 sub
ordinate Lodges and 5000 Rebekah
Lodges, while the Grand Encamp-
ments look after 1878 Encampments.
The lodge members (men) number
1872, ,601 and there are 1,026,779 Re-
bekah Lodge members and grand
total of persons belonging to the order
of 2.676,5S2. These figures are year
and a half old, and the order never
recedes! So our numbers must now
be above three million and still march
ing steadily onward.
Ours was the first order to fully
recognize the right of woman to a
place in the good work. And right
well have our sisters repaid our con-
fidence in them. They are indeed a
>f .tr nd ,nc
alton.
We have the Cantons with their
brilliant uniforms to catch and hold
the young men. AS "little nonsense
now and then is relished by the best
of men" we have the side degree, the
Muscovites, as the play ground-not
a part of, yet closely attached to oui
order.
In Colorado We had at the close OF
1929, l7,404 men and 9,059 women, q
total of 26,463 persons who are unit
edly engaged in the promotion OF
Brotherly Love, Benevolence anc
Truth.
We are engaged in another great
work, about which the general pub
lie hears too little-our home for the
aged and the orphan.
There are now in operation in tht
world fifty eight homes, the origina
cost of which was $3,487 1880, and
the present value of which is $8,772,.
629.88, and nearly 10000 people have
been tenderly cared for in these hav.
ems of rest since the first home was
started at Meadville, Pennsylvania ir
, 1872.
Nor is Colorado at all behind in th;.
benevolence. Our Home was opened
at Canon City on February 26, 1914
and has been steadily in operation
ever since. At the close of our last
fiscal year We had thirty-seven in the
Home-l3 girls, 5 boys, 8 women ane
II men. We are now engaged in ar
inspiring effort to raise Home En-
dowment Fund of 100000, and are
well up toward the first half, and The
Colorado Odd Fellows will put the
fund over the top.
The first lodge instituted in thi:
state is Union Lodge No. /, Denver
on August 18th, 1864, and the Mother
Lodge is still active and prosperous
We have 100 subordinate lodges ant
130 Rebekah Lodges. and in every
city, village and hamlet in Colorado
every week in the year, the banner oi
Odd Fellowship may be seen waving
and the magic influence of the three
links may be positively felt.

Continued from mage 81

Committee of this Grand Lodge.
Such funds shall be known as special
fund for the erection and maintenance
of an Odd Fellows Home, as may be
hereafter provided by this Grand
Lodge, after such fund has amounted
to twenty five thousand dollars.
Third, that any moneys that may be
hereafter donated by persons, Lodges
or societies shall be disposed of in the
same manner as above provided.
Fourth, that the Treasurer shall
give special Bond sufficiently large
to guarantee safe keeping of the above
funds, said Bond to be of similar char
acter and condition as the regular
Bond of said Treasurer, the amount
of said Bond to be fixed and conditions
approved by the Finance Committee of
this Grand Lodge.
Fifth, that the Officers of the Sub
ordinate Lodges to carry into effect
the provisions of this Resolution shall
charge and collect semi-annually the
sum Of 25 cents from each member, in
| addition TO his regular dues.
Representative Friedman offered
| the following amendment, which was
adopted,
Strike out in part second the words
Real Estate, or Good Securities"
and insert in Lieu thereof the words
First Mortgages on improved Real
Estate, not exceeding one-third of the
| valuation"
Grand Secretary Norman moved to
further amend the report by striking
out $50 cents" and inserting "25
| cents" per annum, which was adopted.
Representative Jackson offered
the following amendment to section 5,
| which was adopted,
That this per capita tax may be
paid at the option of each Lodge from
general fund, or by charging and col
lecting annually the sum of 25
cents from each member in addition to
his regular dues"
At the session held at Colorado
Springs in 1901, a resolution was
submitted by Representative Norman
OF No. 90, to increase the per capita
tax from "25 cents" and the resolution
was defeated by 100 voting in the
negative and 80 in the affirmative. So
| the Home fund began to accumulate
and We find that the session held in
the City 81 Denver in 1902, the Fin
| ance Committee reported 81, $4,000 in
the Home Fund.
At the session held at Florence,
1906, Brother Goudy introduced Res
olution that in the matter of building
an Odd Fellows Home or acquiring a
site, be postponed until the sum Of
100000 was raised.
At the session held at Greeley, 1908
the Grand Lodge voted to extend to
the Rebekah Assembly, proper re-
cognition on the Board of Directors,
by giving them the right to elect
member of said Board.
At the same session, H. D. Hinkly,
G. D. Cummings, C. w. Erdlen, L. w.
Hoyt, and J. M. Norman, were elected
Trustees of the Grand Lodge and or
i dered to have the Grand Lodge incor-
porated.
At the session held at CRIPPLE Creek,
1910, offers for location of the Home
were made from, Fort Collins, Denver,
Arvada, Colorado Springs, Cannon
City, Delta, Boulder and Montrose.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY s. w. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

Not doing things well is no better
than not doing them at all.
To perform ones tasks thoroughly
is very good exemplication of
thrift because it is only through this
thoroughness of performance that
progress IS made.
There is an old proverb to the
effect that 1.-The fellow with one
idea generally grows rich, while he
who calls him fool dies poor.
No matter what a mans occupation
may be, if he excels in his work, you
will find him steadily moving up
ward He may only be able to do
one thing, but if he can do it
thoroughly and successfully, cir
cumstance will drive him into more
duties.
A great many young men fail to
get on in the world simply because of
in accomplishment,
which is but another name for
thriftlessness in time and OPP
portunity.
The problems of life are so large
and complex and the range of
human endeavor is so wide that
effort to be effective
must be limited to definite lines.
The young man of today has
limitless range of opportunity before
him and he can fit into scheme of
progress successfully if he realizes
that there is always need for those
who can do things well.
Our schools and colleges will soon
be sending their young men and
young women out into the world.
They have completed their academic
lessons. but they still have before

KNOW NOTHING OF LAUGHTER
Most Solemn People in the World
Said to Be Aboriginal In
habitants Of Ceylon.

Laughter and the faculty of being
merry and bright are gifts of the gods
TO a world In which there Is not too
much sunshine at any time. But this
gift, according to scientists, has been
denied to the Veddas, the aboriginal
inhabitants of Ceylon.
They are the only people In the
world who never laugh, and In conse-
quence they are thin and fabby folk.
For nearly 1000 years, according to
the best chronicles, these people, now
almost extinct, have preserved the
same characteristics, and no one has
ever seen smile on the face of one
Of them or heard a laugh while in
their section of Ceylon.
why these people do not smile IS a
mystery They alone Of all the people
on the earth know nothing of the sen
sation Of laughter.
A scientist, who journeyed to Ceylon
for the purpose Of investigating this
question, persuaded some of them to
permit him to tickle them In the ribs
and In the middle Of their feet with
straws. He never caught even the
flicker Of a smile on their faces, nor
did he ever succeed in making one of
them squlrm during the operation.
Another strange thing about the
Yeddas, and one which may possibly
be connected with their lack of humor,
is the fact that every one of them is a
George Washington, unable to tell n
lie or to conceive Of anyone else tell
ing a lie
They cannot even believe that any
one would take tie property of any
one else. and association with civillza-
ton has failed TO convince them that
1t is possible.
With all thls-or, rather, without
all this-the Veddas are a peaceable,
gentle, quiet people. They take wives
without any marriage ceremony. and
are faithful and constant to them.

GAVE NO THOUGHT TO PAPA

There is a genial fellow Of our &C

Of them. The first great event Is when
the initial recognizable smile ripples
into baby laughter; the second when
she puts up her hair.
This man we have in mind had made
a sort of dream ritual of this latter
and had planned thousand ways in
turning the matter over In his inner
consciousness how he would invest the
ceremony with a thousand little graces,

perhaps the one lesson they should

was asked the derivation Of the name.
Good-naturedly the captain replied
that "Ntlc" was for the Irish and
MAC" for the Scottish. Next day the
captain was astonished to find this
explanation Of the name featured in

and explained that "Micmac'' was tho
name of tribe Of Indians in Nova
Scotia. To his further establishment
the following day the Herald carried
a correction, reading as follows:

ing the derivation of the name Mic
mac In yesterdays issue. We now
learn that the ship is called Micmac
after tribe Of wild Indians in Nova
