Facts About the Loyal Order of Moose

Free MooseV Vocational School and Sanitarium
The Supreme Lodge on Jan. 1st, 1918, pur
chased 1000 acres of land on the Fox river near
Aurora, Ill. On this site they are erecting
large Industrial School at a cost of five million
dollars. Orphans and children whose parents
are unable to educate them will be given vo-
catonal training which will fit them for life. A
large Moose Santarium and home for aged and
infirm members will also be erected here This
location is within an hours ride from the heart
OF Chicago. The postoffice and name of the
railway station is Mooseheart
Vice President Thos. R. Marshall, together
with other prominent characters, laid the corner
stone of this institution with impressive cere-
monies on July 9th, 1913. Fifty thousand peo-
pie witnessed the dedication. A number of
children have already been admitted and more
will be added from time to time.
Origin of the Order
The Loyal Order of Moose was organized April
II, 1888. 1t is not class organization, but it
is open to all good white male citizens, Profess
ional, Business and Working Men, of sound mind
and body, of good standing in the community
and engaged in lawful occupation, between the
ages of q and so years. Applicants who are
above the age limit or who cannot pass the medi-
cal examination may be admitted as social mem
bers The dues for social members are seven
dollars per year. All applicants are investigat-
ed by committee and voted on by the lodge.
characteristics
Among the chief characteristics of the Loyal
Order of Moose is its Originality and Progress
iveness. The Moose does not pattern after other
fraternities, but launches out into new fields
Clubs, Colleges, Athletic Unions and Homes
for widows and orphans
The Loyal Order of Moose does not tolerate
interference with ones regilious or political
views. Political or sectarian discussions are not
countenanced in the lodge rooms but Patriotism,
Obedience to Law, Equal Rights, and Respect
for Opinions of others insisted upon AS one en-
ters the lodge, so he departs-a free man.
Ritual
No traternalorder possesses more beautiful or
ennobling riualistic ceremony, and to witness the
portrayal of the work by the degree team is we'll
worth the initiatory fee The obligations are
simple and beautiful, and are such that no man
need hesitate There in no horse play" in the

Hoop Rolling
Old Time Sport
Come To Life Again

The very old childrens' sport of
hoop rolling that was in vogue in the
days of our grandfathers, and which
has not been much in style for half
century has come back. All over
Palisade and the surrounding section
little children are very busy rolling
hoops. Many of them are using or
binary barrel hoops, others are trying
their hands with bicycle wheels with
the tires removed. On any of the
roadways before school takes in,
scores of boys and girls may be seel
rolling hoops around, When this
ancient reporter was a kidlet over
fifty years ago he had the biggest
hoop in the village where he lived
a hoop made of round steel, half an
inch in diameter, and as he patted it
over the street, it made ringing
noise that soon made his coming
known among the other boys without
an error being possible.
There is quite a knack in success
full hoop rolling, and if any boy or
girl does not know just how to turn
the trick, come to the editors home
and he will show them how. 1t is a
very healthful sort of fun, and a
string of fifteen or twenty boys and
girls can have very happy time
hoop rolling around town. Any
blacksmith can soon make an excel
lent iron hoop, the kind alluded to
in this report. 1t should be about
three feet in diameter, made of 70
or u inch iron or steel. Then look
out for real fun!

Clarence D. Martin, and the couple
made their new home in Montclair
Mr.. Martin held a very important po-
sition with the Wells, Fargo Express
Co., and it was just after his return
from business trip to Chicago for
the company, in fact, the very next
morning, that he took his life by
shooting himself. While in Chicago,
Mr.. Martin had undergone an oper-
alton on his ear, but it is not known
whether his condition was of suffi-
cient seriousness to drive him to self
destruction.
Mr.. Martins funeral took place on
Tuesday last.

"BilLy" Anderson Killed
BY Speeding Automobile

The speeding automobiles along
Anderson avenue have been having a
fine time recently bowling over the
dogs of that thoroughfare. Last
Sunday "Billy" Anderson, the famous
English bull dog, great favorite in
the family of Mr.. Louis c. Anderson,
was knocked down and killed. "Billy"
was a playmate of the children of the
Anderson family and was liked by
all the children of the neighborhood
because of his friendly disposition.
He was never known to lose his
temper with child or to bite any,
one. He was given decent burial
in the woods.
AS for the automobilists, they come
and go at their own sweet will and
pleasure, speed being no consideration
whatever.
