when the boy or girl becomes of age they can secure the highest sal
aries in their chosen calling Prof. Hart, dean of Harvard, said: “Moose
heart will be the greatest educational institution on the face of the globe.”
The payment of only $13.00 a year secures all these privileges for your
self and family. As a member of Val dez Lodge No. 1427 you will affil
