Join the Loyal Order of Moose for $5.00 The Lives! Organization in the World After Charter closes, initiation fee will be raised to $25 Once ( Moose, ia Wj-J SI £ 8 Always a ¥ ’ Moose __ ■- • . The Loyal Order of Moose will institute a lodge here in Rensselaer within the next few days. Although 27 years have elapsed since the foundation of the order in Louisville, Ky., by Dr. John Henry Wilson, it can truthfully be said that the growth of the order in the past six years has been the wonder of the present century along fraternal lines. Herewith is produced the exact membership for each year since 1 906: 1906 241 members 1907 852 members 1908 — 5,686 members 1909 31,526 members 1910— 86,741 members 1911 — 201,625 members 1912 members 1913 —672,319 members 1914 members And on January 1, 1915, our supreme secretary spoke with pardonable pride that we had on our membership rolls in good standing order 873,267 members. The personnel of the membership of the Loyal Order of Moose is second to no organization in the world. No order contains a more diversified membership. Upon the rolls of our lodges will be found presidents, vice-presidents, congressmen, statesmen and multi-millionaires, together with the honorable mechanics and laboring men. All are banded together for the promulgation of one common cause, viz: the uplifting of mankind. And each is doing his duty within the scope of his opportunity. We have a home for the aged members, widows and orphans, as well as a school and college for the children of the Moose, where they will be given an education, cared for until they will be able to go out in the world a fitted mechanic, or able to take up some professional line. No children of the Moose are ever put in an orphan’s home and in two or three years the mother or remaining parent know nothing of them and be scattered broadcast across the country. They will be kept there an educated. At Moosheart, which is the name of our home and college, there will be no church or creed shown preference in the religious training of the children. The condition which prevails in the hall of the lodges of the Loyal Order of Moose will also prevail here. Each will be accorded the privilege to serve and worship their God according to the dictates of their conscience. Arrangements are also made whereby any member or children of the Moose may take a correspondence course free of charge, with the exception of paying the postage on the courses. The Loyal Order of Moose is today the third strongest fraternal order in existence, and pays the following benefits: SIOO for death of member, $7 per week, sick or accident, and furnishes to member and entire family physician free of charge. The dues are 83%c per month. Or $lO per year, with no assessments. Initiation fee $5, with $1 examination. For further particulars phone ok call on J. W. MANGES, Makeever Hotel.
