PAUL GETS A DUCKING
Paul Budweiser- that isn’t his name, but
y.m wouldn't recognize his real name, and
we don't know it had a thrilling experience
in a canoe yesterday afternoon which fortu
natcly had no tragic result. He made the
statement that he was going out m a canoe
belonging to Tom Willett, and "take some
paddles mit mine-oil." In stepping into the
frail craft he upset it and was precipitated
into the water. He clung to the overturned
canoe until rescued by onlookers. In de
scribing the accident afterward he said he
"shtepped a lgedle too much all at once'
into the canoe. Other than a chilly ducking
and the lo.-s of a cute little ha: Paul said
"everydings vas all rgiht.

war will be begun against Mexico. Our j
reasons are simplicity itself, and the main j
one, and the most important and the only j
one. is that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is

be believed that disaster would follow fast j
and follow faster any effort to begin a war .

Iditarod Lodge No. 1429, Loyal Order of Moose of the World, was organized three months ago, and now has a
membership in Flat, Discovery and Iditarod numbering 27 5. and is rapidly increasing. The initiation tee is SI0.00, which,
with the Examiner's fee of $1.50. covers the total expense of joining, and the due:, are $18.90 per year, payable quarterly
in advance. Every member of the Lodge and the members o' his immediate family are, in the event of sickness, entitled to
the attendance and care of the Lodge Physician FROM TH E DA I E OF HIS INITIATION, by complying with the laws of the
order in that respect. After one has been a member in good standing for six months he is further entitled to a cash benefit
during illness of $10.00 per week. In the event of death, iu neral expenses are paid by the Lt.gr. Ah of ’i-.ese benefit; are
covered by the yearly dues of the members, and there can be no assessments for any purpose whatever. The matter of hospital
service to our members will be taken up by the Lodge at a n early meeting.
Twenty-six years old the 12th of last month, tho M oose ranks second among the beneficial fraternities of the world,
having a membership of a million in over 1,600 Lodges throughout the United States. Canada. Hawaii. Philippines, Australia,
Canal Zone, Germany, France and England, etc. Alaska now has 16 Moose Lodges, with memberships ranging from 65 to
80C strong. Charters for 14 others are pending, and will eventually be organized. The Loyal Order of Moose had a greater
increase of membership in the year 1913 than all other fraternities in America combined, having established a Vocational School
at Mooseheart, Illinois, for the benefit of Moose and their families, which will be the best equipped and the largest of As kind in
the world, and will insure a free college education to the dh ildren of all Moose in good standing. Also the care of widows, or
phans, the aged and the sick. Mooseheart is not a ' poorhou se." but a HOME and a SCHOOL, in every sense that these grand
words imply. Judge John J. Lentz of Columbus, Ohio, defi nes Mooseheart as "the manifestation of the spiritual substance of
the world’s best manhood and womanhood." Elbert Hubbard says: “Every member is actually a stockholder, and pays $1
a year toward making Mooseheart possible. As an economi c investment it appealed to me as an essentially good one Moose
heart will also be a home for the aged and worthy members, although it looks to me as if a good Moose who lives up to the
ritual will never grow old nor be incapacitated for work—he carries with him the young heart.”
The education of the boys and girls at Mooseheart S chool will be along vocational as well as academic lines. The heart
and hand will be educated as well as the brain. Each will b e advanced along the vocational lines to which they are best
adapted, and when the students complete the prescribed course they will step into the world a finished product ready to meet
the battles of life. They will not be compelled to take a post-graduate course in some machine shop, business college -or mer
cantile establishment before they are capable of making a li ving for themselves. A correspondence school will be started shortly
at Mooseheart for the benefit of members, and the lodge rooms will be converted into instruction rooms, where traveling teach
ers will give special instruction, to promote by education an d organized effort a higher public spirit and better social and fra
ternal order. This should especially appeal to the young men and women of our Order who have a desire in their hearts to
do greater things. All men of the Caucasian race, of lawful occupation, sound body and good moral character, between the
ages of 21 and 55, may make application for membership. Men who are over 55 are accepted as non-beneficial members.
The personnel of the membership of the Loyal Order of M oose 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, states
men and millionaires, together with the honorable mechanic, merchant and laboring man. All are banded together for the
promulgation of one great common cause, viz.: THE UPLIFT OF HUMANITY; and each is doing his duty within the scope
of his opportunity. The qualifications for membership are n ot wealth, social standing or exalted position, but we demand honor,
morality and manhood. Are you qualified? Can you afford to refuse to affiliate with a million good men who will assist
you in your hour of need, and when death overtakes you in sure the welfare of your family and the education of your children?
Think it over!
