LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE. Lakeland Lodge 20, Loyal Order of Moose, will be instituted in our city within the next few days as the material to form the lodge is made up of some sixty prominent citizens and all that is now wanted is the big MOOSE, which is expected to arrive daily by the Southern kEx- press, to aid in ‘horning” the new herd. One of the chief aims of the order is to be progressive, its rapid growth and large membership being due to the fact that the lodge is never al- lowed to grow stale and unattrac- tive by adhering to forms and prac- tices that the times have ceased to approve, it is planned that both the order and individual members shall keep up with the onward and up- ward march of civilization, and for the first time in the history of fra- ternal organizations the Loyal Or- der of Moose, in convention at De- troit, Mich., last August, without hesitation supported the proposition to establish an industrial school to provide for the education of the children of brother Moose free, and before the next convention in Au- gust, 1912, $250,000 will have been invested for this purpose. It is also the purpose of the State Organizer W. Harry Gage to institute a Junior Order of Moose, for the youths be- tween the age of 16 and 21 years which has for its motto the Amer- ican expression, “Make Good.” To make good in the Moose sense is to be prepared mentally and physically so trained in thought and hand that success, the goal of every ambitious young man, can not fail of attain- ment.
