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. As 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 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 practical. About twenty-five of the most usual crafts, including agriculture, are being operated as a part of the educational work. For full information as to the Loyal Order of Moose any of the lodges or units throughout the world, or Mooseheart, address the SUPREME SECRETARY, MOOSEHEART, ILLINOIS the women, who in these latter years have reached the eminence of effective citizens through the right of suffrage, are making their influence and ideals felt in all social, business and political life. Im this forward march of womankind, woman has arrived in the world of Moosedom, and as elsewhere is taking her place alongside of men and bravely carrying the burden of MOOSEHEART in her affection and her service. Every one who wit-, nessed that long procession of the Moose from Philadelphia detraining from their pullmans on last Sunday afternoon must have been deeply impressed with the long file of the Women’s Legion, dressed in the quaint garb of the Pennsylvania Quakeress of the earlier days of the Republic. The names of eminent women as factors in the development of the country, heroines in the great struggle of the cause of the Union, and holy saintships in the splendid mission of the Red Cross, on European battlefields, in hospitals, and services in a hundred directions, came to mind. They stood out in; thought as the heads of a long procession of splendid, self-sacrificing, efficient, patriotic and noble workers in the interest of home and country. The spectator stood upon the sidewalk and took off his hat in reverend appreciation of the advent of wo-: man into Moosedom. What may we not expect of her presence in this great family organization What she has already done in her valuable contribution to the support of. MOOSEHEART is a major prophecy of what she. will j^et accomplish in the future. Her organization of the Women’s Legion is devoted entirely to the interests of MOOSEHEART. Here Mother and. Sister heart dictate to her the most intense ser-. vice, willingness to sacrifice, and readiness to aid in every way, this greatest of all humanitarian movements for the benefit of childhood, and the preparation of a citizenship that shall move civilization far forward in the coming years. Let us give all hail to the Women’s advent in Moosedom, let us give her every scope and opportunity for the exercise of her womanliness, and Moosedom will grow all the stronger, be better, nobler in ideal and. more effertive in the world’s service because the woman has arrived in the world of the Moose. She asks for no preferment, makes no demands for governmental privilege; she asks only that she may perform that greatest of all human prviileges, the right to serve, the right to help, the right to bless by sacrifice.

The Material Development of Mooseheart (From The Daily Bulletin, printed during Convention Week) Delegates and visitors who are here for the first time are surprised at the remarkable material development that MOOSEHEART has made in the last five or six years. The large number of halls, dormitories and other buildings constructed of fireproof construction, the walls being of gray granite, and all floors of re-enforced concrete, roofed with the red tiles awaken the admiration of first visitors. They are surprised at the great School building, the Printery, the Power House, the magnificent Assembly Hall with its interior Roosevelt Auditorium, the Dairy Barn with its two splendid silos, the Poultry Barns, the Watch Tower with its bell clock and the Laundry between the twin industrial buildings. Then there is Moose Lake and the 800 acres of farm land blooming out into wheat and oats and corn and the great garden plot for the vegetables to furnish the tables of the 800 young people; the green-houses, and the play grounds about each hall furnished with out-door gymnastic apparatus, ■—everything contributing• to the best welfare of this great Kingdom of Childhood. But as great also is the surprise of those who have come here every year, and returning again today find themselves almost lost in the multiplicity of buildings of all kinds that have been erected since the Convention of last year; the large number of cottages for families of 15 and 18 that dot the campus; and they rub their eyes to assure themselves that they are really on the same ground upon which they enjoyed the sessions of the great Convention of a year ago. They walk about the $150,0000.00 hospital, the gift of Philadelphia Lodge No. 54, built in the style of old Independence Hall, and view the site of the wonderful Baby Village that is in course of building now, located on the bluff overlooking Mill Creek, they are told of a building of a civic center which shall be a formal ideal cluster of houses, the most commanding of them all being the Administration Building for which the Governors have received from the Supreme Lodge $50,000.00 for the erection of the first section. They note also the preparations on the ?;rounds for the five new dormitories or halls that are to be immediately constructed. Then there is the Arboretum with its fine running track, the cement and granite stone works under the hills on the northwest of the campus, and not to be forgotten, the huts and cabins built by the boys on the shores of Moose Lake and Solomon’s Temple on the island in the river. We have not mentioned all. Only those who will walk about the place, ride through the grounds, step in and out of the many buildings can possibly appreciate what has been accomplished here at MOOSEHEART in the short period of time that the Loyal Order of Moose has located itself in this Fox River Valley.

V Moose Gift Carnivals A year ago in the Convention of 1919 there was an “intense session” when delegates were set on fire in their enthusiasm of pledges to the House of •God. We thought then that never again could there come over a gathering such another scene. It was set going by a delegate who closed his short address with the remark that he had been authorized by his Lodge to make a pledge of money for the building of the House of God. Before he could take his seat another sprang to his feet and offered a personal pledge for the same object. Like a flash of lightning the spirit of it raced through the great crowd. From side gallery and floor, from stage and rear gallery men stood wildly waving signals to be heard for their Lodge and personal pledges. They thronged out into the aisles, they surged up to the stage in their eagerness. Truly it was a marvelous scene. Something like it swept over the Convention on the Thursday afternoon of the 1920 gathering. The two scenes were somewhat dissimilar as to noise and physical excitement. The first was like a delivery of a battalion of infantry on the firing line. The second was like a heavy booming of a park of great artillery guns. Judge Donges started it. He called up the New Jersey delegation. Standing in their midst he told the Convention that these delegates had commissioned him to pledge New Jersey Lodges for a $30,000.00 New Jersey building on MOOSEHEART ground. Before the great applause following this announcement ceased, Willard A. Marakle of Rochester, N. Y., followed with a pledge of $25,000.00 for his Lodge. Then came Jack Stoehr, talking out of the midst of the Buckeyes, and ending his speech, “We promise and will build a library second to none in the country.” Joseph Lily from Des Moines, Iowa, followed with “In 1922 we expect to dedicate on MOOSEHEART grounds a building with the name inscribed with wold over the door, ‘IOWA’.” Ryland G. Spaulding from Boise, Idaho, followed in behalf of Boise Lodge to pledge for “a life boat for the safety of the children that go in swimming in the lake.” Then came Henry Forsythe of Battle Creek, Mich., with a declared assurance of hope that by 1922 or ■wn after a Michigan State Building would find its pi¿. - MOOSEHEART ground. To whom followed j. Slye with the statement that he was authorize.- pledge $50,000.00 for Michigan and that the Michigan delegates would “go out this same afternoon to lay the cornerstone.” And so it ARE У0У IF SO, THEN У0У SHOULD READ CAREFULLY PAGE 14 TO BE A ״
