We'd like to meet you. Some of Us

ing men with the same problems we

We are members Of Aberdeen
Lodge Loyal Order of Moose. We

Aberdeen Lodge hAs 555 members
who have pledged themselves to the
high ideals and principles for which
the Moose stand. Among them are
bankers, lawyers, doctors, business
men and working men-standing
shoulder to shoulder in this demo-
cratic brotherhood Of benevolence.
Mr.. Family Man, mans most sacred
duty is to love, honor and protect his
wife and family. Most men love and
honor them alright, but what do the
majority do to protect them? Nine
teen men out of 20 fail to provide for
their families in case of their untime-
ly deaths.
The individual who fails to provide
for his family in case of his death is
"quitter." Read the following ex-
tract from the Oregon Workman
and get an idea of what the world
thinks of a man who fails to provide
protection for his family.
"The gutter is dead, the funeral
is over, and his widow returned home
with the children. The cupboard is
empty, the undertaken and doctor not
yet paid, and the rent is due. At the
window can be seen the wolf of pow
erty. The gutter bids fair to have a
warmer future than the widow he
leaves behind, and yet when friend
talked to him in regard to protection
for his family, he said, he would
take the risk
THE only risk he took was having
his wife leave him, because she had
worked for him all her life, cooked
for him, raised his children, darned
his socks, and endured all their years
together without cent of pay, only
to find that he had bilked her in the
end.
"She never had a pay day, and the
only pay day she would ever have
would be the protection she would
receive at his death. But he has
thrown this away. She has been an
unsalaried housekeeper, an unpaid
nurse and penniless dependent on an
'addle-pated guy and he swindled her
out of her settlement after the funeral
and she would not be blamed if she
finished the rest of her life hating
him as a cheat.
"The only way she ever had of beat
ing the game, was to beat him to the
cemetery, and yet he, during his life
time had much to say about taking
the risk and finding fault with some
other person than himself.
ellis epitaph should be He Was
GUTTER, and all the world would
know the kind of a varmint he had
been during his lifetime"
These may seem bitter words, but
we have had much experience with
his breed and from that experience we
have been led to believe that he was
sort of a sneak. That he never tells
his trusted mate that he has thrown
her down, but leaves it to his friends
of various lodges to break the news
to her after he is safe from her
wrath. The devil take such CRITTERS.
The Aberdeen charter is open. Join
the Moose and give your family the
only guaranteed protection-Moose-
heart and Moosehaven.
