THE LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE
The Loya| 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 ail 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.
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 twenty-three acres of land, thirty-five miles west from Chicago on the Fox Rive״, 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 train.־ ing school for more than a thousand and twenty-five normal 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 plant 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-t'cal. About twenty-five of the most usual crafts, including agriculture, are being operated as a part of the educational work.

go out and spread this gospel of Moosedom arid MOOSEHEART; what is being done down there. It the attention of the men and women of this country is attracted in the right way, this organization will grow and grow, and be the biggest organization in this country. Have confidence in this organization yourselves. When you have that confidence, go out and preach it.—Hon. Martin Behrman, Mayor of New Orleans for 16 years,
Mooseheart a National Asset
It is a great thing to ■ be a Governor of : an Institution which is now becoming a national asset. I had a letter from a very distinguished educator recently, in which he said if MOOSEHEART should fail it would be a national disaster; therefore hs said somebody ought to take steps to endow MOOSEHEART and to put it beyond all possibility of failure.—Hon. Albert Bushnell Hart, a Governor of Mooseheart.
Davis on Memorial Day and Mooseheart Day ;
Some of our Lodges do not take as much interest as they should in the fraternal events, particularly Mooseheart Day, Oct. 27,. and the Memorial services for departed members. There is no other organization in existence today which has the opportunity for special rejoicing each year such as we have. The establishment and the growth of an institution such as ours at MOOSEHEART is worthy of annual commemoration. The Mooseheart Day ceremony should be observed by every Lodge throughout the Order each year so that the members may be reminded on that day of the great work which they are doing at MOOSEHEART. The Nine O’clock ceremony is equally important and should be observed at every meeting in every Lodge or wherever Moose are gathered in the name of the Order. The Memorial service is a tribute to the present and the past. It is a fitting remembrance of men and women who have put their energies and affection in the Fraternity and who have been responsible, too, in part, for the establishment of MOOSEHEART. The representatives rt this Convention should use their influence when they return to their Lodges to see that these day ! are not only observed as far as possible, but made public events. On these Memorial occasions, .a statement of the dead should be read, and also the names of the children of our departed brothers who are at MOOSEHEART, with fitting reference.— From J. J. Davis’ Report to the Convention.
Vocational Training for Disabled Soldiers
I want to say a word in this report about ■the progress in vocational training for disabled soldiers at MOOSEHEART. We have continued during the year to provide this service at the request of our Government, and have been commended
Chicago enthusiasts are carried through as beyond doubt they will be.
As one way of rapidly adding to membership, the scouts of the Chicago Lodge are working up a 1,000 life membership class, which is already well under way and reporting weekly gains. Some of the most prominent men in the city are joining the ranks, and bringing other equally prominent men with them. In no great while a notable array of these will grace the Chicago rolls. Non-bene-ficial life membership is $150.00 and beneficial $250.00. As far as dignitaries go, the Order of Moose can point to a brilliant galaxy, beginning with President Harding and Cabinet members and including men of light and leading all over the United States. It will be remembered that President Harding and his chauffeur were initiated together, certainly a splendid example of the brotherhood and democratic spirit of our Order. The President has more than once referred to this, incident as a good think for both himself and his driver. Each understood the other better. It is such incidents that make the Order what it is, and that account for the wonderful lodges in Philadelphia and Chicago. Good luck to both great cities in their race for leadership.
CONVENTION ECHOES
THERE are always some mighty good things said at all the annual conventions which are greatly appreciated at the time of their saying and no doubt many of the delegates carry them to their home Lodges. But there are many good things too valuable to be buried in the same and boxed up in the annual printed report that comparatively few read. So in proof-reading the Minutes of the Convention we every now and then have come to something good that the whole Order ought to know and read and therefore give the following paragraphs from some speeches and reports :
A Moose Thought for the End of the Day
I sometimes wonder whether the members of the Moose fully appreciate what that membership means. I always feel that every man should feel when he returns from his work to his home at night before retiring, that he had done something worth while for his fellow men on that day. Moosedom makes that possible, and every member of this Order can feel every night when he thinks of MOOSEHEART that .he had done something to make someone else happy besides himself.—Hon. Harry L. Davis, Governor of Ohio.
Mooseheart the Leader in Educational Progress
In a recent report to our Congress by the Committee on Education of the House, in which it was declared that after a thorough investigation and survey of all the conditions of the world, America was found to rank ninth amongst the nations of the world in the level of éducation. So, I s°y that the great work that we have started at MOOSEHEART is not so valuable because of the individual service we are giving to these splendid boys and girls that are coming there for service, but it is because MOOSEHEART and the Loyal Order of Moose are blazing the trail and setting an example which will be followed by all civilization, and if followed by the world will lead to a better citizenship.—Darius A. Brown, Supreme Dictator.
Moose Members Must Believe in Moosedom
My friend*, this Order is going to grow and prosper. It cannot grow and prosper without the active and earnest co-operation of the membership. They must know what they are doing. They must

A NEW MEMBER
EVERY loyal brother of the Moose is entitled to just pride in the remarkable growth of the Order during recent years, and especially during the year whose end was marked by the Toledo Convention. It is a mark of great strength, certainly, when the Order can maintain a rapid rate of growth, and a financial increase beyond all calculations, in a year of depression such as the entire country has experienced. And we may take further just pride in the excellent use that has been made of the resources poured into Moose coffers. The good work of the Order goes on a greater scale than ever.
But while pride rightfully belongs to us because of all this, we must not fall into a false security. We must not be content with present results and the membership of today. The campaign for new members must go on unabated, or with greater vigor than ever. The foundations of the Order cannot be made too broad or firm. New members are the strengthening of those foundations, and it behooves every good Moose to lead at least one new member into the fold each year. And the more the better.
This should be no great task for anybody. Our Order can point to a great record of benefit. A brother seeking a new member to bring in has no need to make an appeal. All he has to do is to offer the benefits that the Order has to bestow. We cannot stand still and remain healthy. Growth alone indicates health. Prove your loyalty to Moose principles by lending your every aid to increasing the membership of your Lodge this year.
CHICAGO vs. PHILADELPHIA
ALL Moosedom is thrilled by the race between Philadelphia and Chicago as to which shall boast the largest Lodge of Moose in the United States or the world. Just now Philadelphia has the edge by a wide margin, with a membership of 28,000, while Chicago has enrolled 6,000 loyal brothers. Even a 6,000 membership is a huge organization, however, and the energetic leaders of the mid-Western city are moving heaven and earth to amass five times that number of Moose in the coming year.
This is not to say that Philadelphia intends to stand still, but against the keen rivalry of the western metropolis it cannot afford to stand still if it is not to have taken from it the honors of the Order for magnitude of enrollment.
Already Chicago has begun to organize for the Moose Convention of 1922. It is planning the largest Moose parade in the history of the Order, .lor one thing. Certainly the next Convention will be the most widely advertised, if the plans of the
