On Sunday afternoon, April 30

One of the attentive listeners at this

friends from the Loyal Order of Moose.
A magnificent standing wreath bearing
the letters l.. o. o. NJ. attested to the
brothers worth and the fellow mem
bers' loyalty, irrespective of religious
persuasion. 1t was a mournful occa-
sion, yet a beautiful picture of life's
changes and fraterna1 devotion.

Loyal Order of Moose less than Six
months. At the lodge meeting Friday
evening, less than tWenty-four hours
after the brother was no more. the

duty that are making for the Loyal
Order of Moose a household name.
The Moose goes about doing good. It's
cardinal virtues are to aid the sick.

love of wife, children, parents, home
and friends.
