We warn all of you to watch closely
such men as: C. w. Mclaughlin, A.

then fine and suspend them. "Be not

IMPORTANT NOTICE

To all presidents and members max
ing final reports to t h e office, we
warn you not to send cash money in
regular mail. In sending money to
the office, we prefer that you send a
post office money-order. That is the
cheapest and most convenient way of
sending it. You may also send an
express money order or cashiers
check.
We prefer that you do not send per
sonal checks for the reason we will
have to pay exchange on these checks
When you send cash in ordinary mail,
you do it at your own risk Quite a

they ent currency and sometimes
