The Loyal Order of Moose, founded as it is upon the
true manhood theory, is surely an organization that ap
peals to the person who is interested in the uplift of hu
manity and the betterment of conditions along all lines.
This order Is one whose great endeavor is the amalgama
tion of the better element of each community into one
Big Brotherhood whose objects and alms are the advance
ment of social, educational and moral development, and In
view of this fact the Order solicits all men of the Cauca
sian race of good moral character to join its ranks and as
sist in the great work that has now advanced from the
stage of theory to realization. The world admires a man
who is willing to sacrifice for others, but when the sacri
fice Is a pleasure and brings benefits directly to him it
then becomes a business proposition. The Order has now
passed the million mark in numerical strength and is mak
ing wonderful strides in the fraternal world. We are pre
paring for the future of our membership by building Vo
cational Schools, Homes for the Widows and Orphans and
Homes for the Aged. Each member contributes $1.00 per
year for the maintenance of these institutions. Think
what one million dollars will do to provide for the help
less. It will sweep away pain from countless sickbeds and
bring hope to the aged and homeless. We accept all men
of the Caucasian race between the ages of 21 and 55 years.
Men over the age of 55 years may Join as non-beneficlal
members. There are Moose Lodges In nearly every Alas
kan city and Valdez will soon be in line with the others.
For particulars write J. FREDERICK J0HN80N, National
Organizer.

RHODES MEN FROM
U.S. HAVE REST YEAR
Fin Firsts In •lurlspradsncs
Hslp Record of 1913
Oxford, England.—The annual re
port of the Rhodes trust shows that
the American scholars during 1913 had
a better scholarship record than In any
year since the system was started.
The whole number of Rhodes schol
ars In residence during the year was
175. Altogether the Rhodes system
now represents about an eighteenth
part of the whole student body.
Only three Rhodes scholars are work
ing merely for a pass degree. Most
of them are out of honors, and on the
whole they seem to be standing the
test of Oxford standards well except
In classics. Only one first was ob
tained In classics, and this was by an
American from the Pacific coast In
the other departments the scholars
held their own. In Jurisprudence they
gained five firsts out of seven awarded.
The question of what becomes of
the Rhodes scholars after their many
years of study Is answered In the re
port:
More than one-fourth of the 431
Rhodes men who have been graduated
from Oxford since the system was
started have kept on with education
as their life work. About 100 have
turned to law, nearly fifty have gone
Into the civil service of the British em
pire, the United States or Germany;
twenty-five have become physicians,
eighteen have gone Into business, eight
een have turned to the church and a
small group is divided among Journal
ism, agriculture and science.
SELECTS GRAVE AND DIES.
Pennsylvanian Had Premonition That
End Was Noar.
Grove City, Pa.—M. E. Vogan of
Erie, a former resident of this place,
dropped dead a few minutes after be
had selected the site for his grave.
While Vogan lived here several years
ago bis daughter died. Since then be
hnd visited her grave from time to
time. One evening he took Jack Ew
ing, the sexton with him and, pointing
out a spot beside his daughter’s grave,
said, “Ewing, I have a premonition
that I’m going to die, and I want you
to bury me right there.”
Vogan then left the cemetery, walked
500 yards and fell dead from heart dis
ease. He was burled beside his daugh
ter.
MOLASSES STICKS A SHIP.
Too Cold to Run, Vesaol Can’t Unload
and Loses Charter.
Boston.—The proverbial slowness of
cold molasses has been demonstrated
again. Ab a result the tramp steumer
Ixla has lost a charter. She Is a tanker
equipped to discharge a full cargo in
two days and arrived here two weeks
ago with 500.000 gallons of molasses.
The cold wave thickened the mo
lasses. Pipes were clogged, pumps
made of little use, and the Ixia’s crew
worked two weeks Instead of two days
to discharge the freight.
