MOOSE LODGE PAYS PROMPTLY

Mrs. Clara Biggs, the widowed mother of Dewey Biggs, who died in France on October 4, has received a check from the Loyal Order of Moose of this city for SIOO.OO. This is the amount paid by this order for funeral expenses for deceased members. The organization has a very large membership in this community, and like other institutions of its kind, it has a very useful mission. The order gives aid and assistance during illness and reaches out the hand of mercy to the widow and orphan. It deserves that blessing announced by Him, who said, “In as much as you have done -it unto one of the lease of these, my children, you have done it unto me.” Mrs. Biggs requests the Republican to express to the lodge and to the individual members her heartfelt thanks for the loving sympathy and for the substantial help rendered.'
