Senior Lodge.
By the way, have you noticed the change in the “big ten”? Compare the present list with the one for last month and note how the average membership of each Lodge has increased. Incidentally, Vallejo Lodge No. 102 is one of the newer Lodges and has already crawled up into 10th place. There are a good many other Lodges who are in the 80’s but not quite strong-enough to get into the leading few.
Governor Bone of Alaska Visits Mooseheart
Hon. Scott C. Bone, the new Governor of the Territory of Alaska, visited at Mooseheart, July 4, and before he left he was a member of the G"and Lodge of Protection, No. 13, L yal Order of Moose, with his dues paid for one year. He was so interested in MOOSEHEART and the great and successful work being done for the conservation of childhood, that he said he would try to carry out the MOOSEHEART method of conservation of childhood in Alaska. He has charge of all the eleemosynary institutions in the Territory.
He reveled in MOOSEHEART life, and enjoyed seeing children as far as his eyes could re־ch— children swarming here and there, surging waves of children, babies in swaddling clothes, boys of the hobbel-dy age, and groups of children, form six to eighteen years, their eyes all saying, “Oh, we have such a good time and such good care and attention.” He told Secretary of Labor and Director General James J. Davis, “Now I know why that house on G. street, Washington, D. C. doesn’t have the attraction for you, one would think it would have. He said that no audience had the vivid life of the MOOSEHEART groups and that their beautiful expectancy, their responsiveness, and their naturalness were like a company of happy dancing flames and that their lovely happiness will always be a part of his life.
He visited Moose lodges in Alaska on his way to the capital and one telegram shows how he was received: by Juneau Lodge.
“Hon. James J. Davis.
“Fine greetings by Moose. Big reception and banquet. Cordial regards.
“Scott C. Bone.”
His appointment to the governorship was not based upon his political service as director of publicity for the National Republican Committee, but wholly upon his knowledge of Alaska and Alaska’s needs.
How does a man keep from grinning at the fellow with the new style trick mustache ? It must be a gift.

APPRECIATION
JAMES J. DAVIS
Then branching out As Moose-man scout,
The story makes one ponder. He raised the L. O. O. M. From certain doom To heights of fraternal wonder.
MOOSEHEART his dream, The morning gleam,
Disclosed the wondrous story,
And now forsooth The orphaned youth Proclaim him MOOSEHEART’S glory.
But now kind fate To the Ship of State Has called James J. to Labor.
Long be his ride And no ill betide,
Tho’ we lose him as a neighbor.
—JOSEPH A. BOWERS.
“Jim” Davis’ life Was full of strife As boyhood’s days were counted,
But “Sunny Jim”
Was full of vim
When the ladder’s rungs were mounted.
As tin mill boy He had small joy,
But faced conditions bravely.
With panic’s squad The south he trod The story’s told naively.
And when at last Hard times had passed,
On Hoosier soil he rested.
With lots of work As city clerk
His mental powers were tested.

GRUBE TRAVELOGUE
Have you been up in Grand Rapids and met Brother Popma, Governor of Junior Lodge No. 60 ? Traveling in the summer time is uncomfortable at its best but the refreshing enthusiasm of the Grand Rapids Seniors and Juniors was sufficient to carry me through my Michigan trip in spite of the intense heat. Brother Popma is an ideal Governor and is rapidly bringing No. 60 to the top of the “big ten”.
From Grand Rapids it is only a short jump to Edmore and Saginaw. In the former town not much could be learned of the Juniors as most of them have had to seek employment elsewhere, although regular Lodge meetings will be held in the Fall again. Saginaw is a new Lodge and the interest that Governor Eastman has created indicates that the Saginaw Seniors appreciate how important a Junior Moose adjunct is.
Down in Jackson I had to talk to the Governor “over the phone.” The Junior Dictator is a live wire and has many plans for a large Lodge as soon as the cool weather permits more frequent meetings.
Going through Toledo on the way to Norwalk, Ohio, brought back many pleasant memories of the recent Convention. Governor Costello of Norwalk had a big meeting arranged and a candidate present. His Juniors have the privilege of the club rooms only twice a week hut they surely make use of their opportunity. The place was crowded.
Three Rivers, Michigan, No. 62, surprised me. We always thought that they were having difficulty in getting new members but I found almost forty members on the rolls. By personal interview with each resident member we managed to arrange a special meeting when many important plans for a double-the-membership campaign were outlined. The boys have unconditional use of a mighty pretty club house belonging to the Senior Lodge.
I always like to get hack to a Lodge a second time and I had my first opportunity when I visited Mishawaka Lodge No. 42. Governor Willard has finally received the unanimous support of the Senior Lodge officers and a thriving Lodge is assured.
From Mishawaka it is only a few hours’ ride to the sixth largest Junior Lodge in the country—Fort Wayne No. 12. It is hard to see just why they are such a success but one is inclined to believe it is because so many of the graduate Junior Moose attend the meetings of the Juniors just as regularly as they attend the

Dr. lames W. Young Wears My Spectacles
That prominent physician and surgeon of Tompkinsville, Md., writes:
“I received the glasses. You couldn’t have suited me any better had I been there myself.״״ Read v*hat David Crocker says about my perfect vision Spectacles;—
׳׳Best Spectacles I ever bought. I was going blind before I got them. Now I can see to do the very finest work with them. I had seven pieces of steel cut out of my eyes at one time, and the doctors said I would go*■ blind. My eyes would hurt me awfully, but they don’t since I bought Spectacles from you. Thank God, I won’t lose my eyesight, as long as I buy Spectacles from you. Your friend, "DAVID CROCKER, Utica, Pa.
"Larengo Co., R. F. D. 1." Your sight is not as good as it was perhaps because you wore your old spectacles too long, or did not get a pair when you needed them, so you must get glasses at once. Don’t put off any longer—stop that eyestrain and eyepain at once.
