special reason for the presence of one and all is that the committee, appoint ed some time ago, will submit their special reason for the presence of one report on the lodges by-laws, and ac- ton for their adoption will be taken.

 Wake up, ye hornIess Moose mem 'bers of beautiful and ball-bearing Bridgeport, and "get move on!" Set not your minds upon flying machines alone, but come calmly down to moth CT earth and think or your less for tunate neighbor and his family. Do a little missionary work for Bridge port lodge, No. 289, L. O. O. M. Say boldly that the Loyal Order of Moose is the fastest growing fraternal, social and beneficiary order in the world. Emphasize that it is conducted on sc1- entific business principles, the broth erhood of man, the love of wife, chill dren and parents, and the protection of home.

With its many special inducements, there seems no reason why the Loyal Order of Moose shhould not take rank in membership with other big fraternal organizations in Bridgeport.-Su Sunday Herald.
