The Loyal Order of Moose is an international fraternal society consisting of more than sixteen hundred lodges in the United States, Canada and throughout the English-speaking world, having an aggregate membership in all these lodges of more than five hundred thousand men. 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-
5^ ״ 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 LIFE
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 to this estate is in 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 ?״?,..power p,ant> 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-t!cal. About twenty-five of the most usual crafts, including agriculture, are being operated as a part of the educational work.

Then, all in one breath, comes the flash of light again. Each window in all the buildings bursts into a golden glow, the tree burns with its many-colored fire. The bells and whistles burst forth into raucous clamor, and above it all come the clear voices of a multitude of children:
“Lord grant us thy truth to make us free, And kindling hearts that burn for Thee, ,Till fill thy living altars claim One holy light, one heavenly flame.”
Organization Department
The Loyal Order of Moose can in all honesty lay claim to the credit of being the first fraternal-benefit society to adopt the modern method of organization. The old method was adhered to by aH fraternities until the Loyal Order of Moose pointed the way. Now other organizations are adopting our methods which they frowned upon a few years ago.
When Brother James J. Davis decided that he was going to build a real, live, progressive fraternity, he began first to study the strong points of other orders and then he looked for the weak points. In making his analysis he made comparisons with successful insurance and accident companies and came to.the conclusion that the methods used by these companies could be used to advantage by fraternals. He immediately began to organize and train a corps of solicitors. First he schooled them in the benefits to be derived from “fiater-nity.” Then he enthused them with a picture of what he determined the “Moose” should accomplish for humanity. When he had thoroly injected into them a portion of his own enthusiasm and determination he sent them forth as missionaries to all parts of this country and Canada to preach the “Gospel” of the “Moose.”
How well that “Gospel” has been spread is evidenced by the results obtained. The “Moose Method of Organization” has built a fraternity of six hundred thousand in twelve years. That other fraternities are adopting our “method” at this time is to say the least complimentary to us.

New Years at Mooseheart
The white sheet of snow, seemingly unbroken when viewed from the height of the office window, is scarred and cut with tracks. From the Arboretum to the Lake, from West Legion Lodge to East Legion Hall, the white coverlet of this great campus and village is criss-crossed with tracks of animal and human, dog, rabbit and boy.
The goal posts on the football field stand dismally alone. There is no life there any more.
But from the Lake comes the shriek of laughing childhood and the ring of steel upon the polished ice. A camp-fire smoke curls upward from the lake shore, rising higher and higher until it may no longer be seen. The winter air is still.
A swarm of sweater-clad boys and girls troop by from the school house, marking the close of the day’s—and year’s—session there. They hurry to join the clatter on the Lake shore.
Dusk deepens. One by one a dormitory window glows_ in golden light. The lamp posts, leading to the highway burst into view. The Christmas tree upon the highway lawn becomes alive, its mass of red, white, blue and golden eyes twinkling with holiday happiness.
Night has fallen. A wind comes sighing from the north-west. A supper bell clangs madly from a kitchen door.
The Flag, silhouetted by the search-light, lifts its head drowsily, falls asleep again against its post, then once more rises, standing out straight across the beams of light, snapping at the north wind’s bite.
Strains of music float upward from Roosevelt Auditorium steps. It is the band, playing full-toned.
“Joy to the world—the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King.”
The procession moves slowly down the way to where the twinkling Christmas tree enlivens the night.
* * * *
The lights die out once more. The band notes rise more faintly. The quiet of the night creeps down.

Eventually—Why Not Now
The sands of time are running at their usual rate through the old man’s hour glass. Over many Secretaries’ desks hangs the legend: “Quarterly dues now payable.” All good Moose will govern them-sleves accordingly. Be prompt. Do your bit to keep your Lodge out of the Red Box.
Why be satisfied with paying only one quarter’s dues? Why not earn great peace of mind by taking out a full year’s receipt? It will generate in your soul twelve months of continuous, delightful Moose enjoyment and privilege. It is so much more comfortable to live by the whole year than by fractions thereof. Make one trial of it and see what happy fruits of righteousness it will produce.
Best of all, be done with all this installment business, and buy a Life Membership Card. It is the safest investment you can make. The Loyal Order of Moose is a permanent everlasting institution. It is built on solid business foundations. Its defending circle is a wall of adament. Its MOOSEHEART is recognized as a social and educational success whose present is radiant and reliable as the sunlight, and whose future is as sure in its broadening as the evolution of the race. Life members are gaining in their popularity throughout the Order. Join the procession of the “Immortals!”
We Rise By Our Service
In this great work in which we are engaged we have become an essential part of the common •heritage of the race. Our lives are no longer traveling on a by-path which runs a little way and ends no where, but by the hands of these children, we have been led out upon the main highway, the great open course of progress, along which flows the unending traffic of the ages. We are a part of that great stream through which all the good in the world flows down to the generations that are to follow. Thus immortality is bestowed upon us and in the lives of these children and their children’s children something of our being and influence shall be transmitted to the ends of time.
