Most of the lodges provide for sick benefits and funeral expense funds for their members. Each lodge is a complete unit in itself, with full local autonomy. .. a means for the better accomplishing their purposes the lodges have organized a central agency called the “Supreme Lodge of the World, Loyal Order of Moose,” with headquarters at Mooseheart, Illinois. All the general activities of the order center there and the Supreme officers in active charge have their offices there. MOOSEHEART THE SCHOOL THAT TRAINS FOR LIFL , Mooseheart is an estate of one thousand fifteen acres of land, thirty-five miles west from Chicago on the Fox River, between the cities of Aurora and Batavia, Illinois. The title r? j IS i e s the Supreme Lodge of the World, Loyal Order of Moose. Mooseheart is a home and vocational training school for over seven hundred children of deceased members of the Order. The residential part of Mooseheart resembles a modern village of about one thousand inhabitants and consists of about fifty buildings of modern concrete fire-proof construction, with red tile roofs. There is a central heating and power plant, large modern print shop, a high school building, several industrial shops, a modern farm plant and many dormitories and residences. .. The educational features are highly vocational and prac-tical. About twenty-five of the most usual crafts, including agriculture, are being operated as a part of the educational work. ״ Jfor,f״״ information as to the Loyal Order of Moose any 0! the lodges or units throughout the world, or Mooseheart, address the SUPREME SECRETARY, MOOSEHEART, ILLINOIS V peal to any member who can afford to make the investment.

In any event, whether we save or not, it will come down when Europe catches up with her needs. Now that her workers are back at their jobs of producing the things money buys, such things are bound to become “cheaper,” in other words, dollars will go up in relation to them. When Europe quits bidding against us for our own products they will come more “cheaply” to us. That is inevitable, but some days off. Saving will hasten the day. The Fall Season at Mooseheart From the window, the river valley, shading from its summer greenness into the brown of autumn, lies full in the view, and on the Eastern slope beyond it the yellow corn shocks range themselves like the Indian wigwams of a century ago. Between us and the river the football field ripples in brown and crimson waves as happy youngsters boot the balls about and happy voices reach us thru the Autumn air. . Immediately under the editorial windows a giant steam shovel grunts and strains at lifting of its heavy loads of dark gray earth, making way for the new steam tunnel to the school houses on the South campus. This shovel, and its brood of tending wagons scooting up to and away from it like the chickens to the hen, put into the whole picture the air of busy industry. Hammers thump, children laugh, cows call fondly to their calves, a passing trolley hums. They are the sounds of happy, homey growth. From an upper window of South Assembly Hall a towsled, blond head emerges, looks about for an instant, and, catching the eye of a red-sweatered youngster on the near-by lawn, screams, “Hi! Petey! Stick around till I get there, will yuh?” Over the hill from the Lake Woods comes an overall-clothed ten-year-old, his back bowed under the weight of a lumpy gunny-sack whose contents proclaim the walnut harvest. His hands black, his back weary, his shoes muddy, his heart full of joy. Rainy days of Fall have brightened the sod and washed the dust from granite, red-roofed homes. A purple haze creeps up the fields as twilight comes, and savory cooking scents the evening air. The bugle blows taps softly and darkness settles down in peace where seven hundred happy children sleep.. SUPREME LODGE OFFICERS Supreme Secretary RODNEY H. BRANDON Mooseheart 111.

Y. J. ALBERT CASSEDY, Baltimore, Md. V Life Memberships We must not forget the “slogan” of Supreme Dictator Broening, “Fifty Thousand Life Memberships.” This is one of the most important messages that has ever come to us. There is probably no other means that could be adopted which would provide so much for ther stability and financial soundness of the Lodge. A Lodge with one-fifth or more of its members on the “Life Membership Roll” is in the position of a corporation with a surplus to its credit. The receipts from Life Membership should be invested in a permanent fund, the interest only of which should be used for lodge purposes. . An organized effort will demonstrate that many members will gladly avail themselves of the opportunity to become Life Members, when the matter is properly presented to them. For beneficial Life Membership the member! pays $200. The interest on this amount at 5% is $10 per year. The social member pays $100 for Life Membership, the interest on this at 5% is $5 per year. This is certainly a good business proposition—and will ap- The High Cost of Living If you are possessed of anything upon which you, yourself place little value, the world will soon come to regard it as cheap. This is just as true of dollars as of anything that dollars will buy. The people of America have more money today than they ever had. Correspondingly the other people in the world have less than formerly and that makes our share seem even greater. The people of Europe and Asia are poor in both money and the necessities of life, but we are lending them money and they are buying the necessities in our market. “Prices” is merely an expression of the relationship which always exists between money and the things that money will buy. If the man who owns the money puts little value upon it, it becomes cheap in buying value. If you want your dollars to buy more bread, place a higher value upon your own dollars, yourself. If you take in thirty of them in a week, save ten, live on the other twenty, and very soon you will be able to get the same things for the twenty that you now get for the thirty. The High Cost of Living is nothing hut the Cost of High Living. It has been a case of “easy comes; easy goes.” Save! That isthe watchword which will put Old H. C. of L. to flight. Saving means putting more dollars away—therefore increasing the value of those left loose. We know a woman who sold a dozen hand embroidered handkerchiefs the other day for a dollar and seventy-five cents each. When folks will pay a dollar seventy-five for a piece of cloth to wipe their noses on, it’s no wonder that money is cheap and food relatively high. Treat your dollars as if they were worth something, and they will become worth something. Tighten up with your clothier, butcher, baker, and grocer and he will tighten up with the wholesaler.
