A building committee tins luen nppolnted and em powered to purchase a slto and proceed with tho erection ot tho building. Tho present membership of the Omaha loduo la above 1.000. Judso A. I Sutton la Us presiding- officer. In tho Chicago Tribune of last Wednes day Henry M. Hydo wrote of the Ixyol Order ot Moose nnd one of Its projects as follows: "A great farm of 1.000 acres of the most fertile and beautiful land In tho valley of tho Fox river, lyliw within forty miles of ClilcaKo, Improved with a doten great workshops, a power house, an ad ministration building;, a school house, und a score of handsome and convenient cottages. On this farm a population of more than 1.000 children, boya and Klrls, living-, study'nir and working under th direction of matrons, famous oducutora and master workmen, each learning ono of ton or dorcn different trades, graduating nt lie end of four years with a diploma which qualifies Its holder ns a mcmbor n good standing of a trade union. .Scope or the l'lnn. "A school In which a boy nmy spend tho wholo of the first year In drifting from one tmdo to another until ho finds that which ho likes best and for which ho Is best qualified. Just as In outside llfo tho unsettled boy, fresh from tho fifth or sixth grado of the publla schools, Irlfts unsatisfied from one Job to an other, so here he might spend a month In tho printing office, leave that for the. machine shop, nnd finally wind up ns a scientific farmer. "A great rarm school which owes nothing to tho benefaction of any phllan thropiflt, about which there Is no taint of cither publla or private charity. A school which startH with nn annual In come of JfiOO.OOO; a school which Is owned In common by POO.00O men of modest po sition and Income, iO per cent of them being members of various trades unions. "That la a dream of oo-operatlvo effort which 100 experts have asserted can never be realized In America. In ISuropo co operation on a big scale has been tr mcndously succesoful, but, as l.ODO fall urea prove, tho people of tho United State cannot ha persunded to co-oporule. '''Unfortunately for the such a great farm school Is fast being worked out by ono ot the hugo co-opera tive fraternities which havo had such rapid growth lu the United States. Tho tract of 1,000 acres ot farm Innds, lying close to llatavla, along the jAix river, has boen bought and paid for and tho school has already been started with somo fifty students. In temporary build ings. There could be no mora Improsslvo demonstration of the tremendous power of co-oporatlon on a national scale than tho fact that this now school should be started with an assurod Incomo ot JC00, 000 annually mora than that ot most universities whllo tlio tax on any lndl virtual for Its support Is not nioro than fl a year. Conlcy Asked to He Head "13. 0. Cooley, late superintendent of ochools In Chicago, has been Invited to head tho project, at a handsome salary, and virtually has agreed to undertake the work. If arrangements are completed It Is expected that tho school will bo or gnnlied and developed on now and most Interesting lines, "Thcro will bo large buildings on tho farms for tho housing ot ten great work shops, each devoted to tho teaching nnd nractlco of a different trade, xno as slstant teachers In these shops will bo mombers of tho unions of their several trades. ' Ono year they will teach In tho rami schools! tho second year they will bo required to spend working ut their trades In outsldo shops; the third In organizing nnd establishing branch schools In vari ous parts of tho country, tho studonts of which may bo taught largely by corre spondence. "In other words the farm schools will have a sort of huge trlpl faculty, only ono-thlrd of which will bo actively on gaged In teaching at any ono time, "Tim great schools at llatavla are only one of a number of co-operatlvo activi ties which aro being planned by tho Loyal Order of Moose, a. fraternity which seems to differ from most of the otho- great fraternal orders only in that It does not offer llfo Insurance to ItB members. Its clforts In tho Insurance lino are confined to the payment of small sick benoflts to Us members. "Tlvi tremendous and rapid growth of the order, from less than 300 members In jjlfOC to 600.000 members at present, with out tho attraction of cheap assessment life Insurance Is chlofly interesting as showing that under tho direction of com- petort and well puld organizers It Is pos sible to Interest thousands 01 people in tho United States In co-oporatlon. Cost of the l'lnn. "The Initiation fee of $3 charged caoh new member Is devoted to the payment of organization and administrative ex pons, leaving the whole of tho 110 un nua) fee from mombers to be devoted to the various co-operatlvo activities of the order These fees from the present mem bcrshln provldo an annual fund of JJ.0u0.OW, only one-tenth of which Is to bo devoted to tho school, where tho sons und daughters of mombers are to be c tested. "Hventuaily It Is hoped that tho school mayo become largely self-supporting, ono of tho proposed plants be ng a cunning factory where the vegetables und frultB ra'sed on the farm may be preserved nnd prepared for sale. "In more than twonty-flvo cities where th order is especially strong, buildings have bean purchased, and more or less elaborate club rooms fitted up up. One of tho Chicago lodges has bought and now occupies 11 building on Adams stroet, east of Wubush avenue. In the future the order Is plunnlng to oNpctlment In manufacturing Is success fill, how long will It be before wholesn' and retull co-operative shops will b opened to dlstrlbuto product? "Certainly tho fact that 16,000,000 me and women are mtmbors of the varlou fraternal lnsurunco orders In the L'nlte( Ptntes Is proof that In ono direction, a least, they have learned to co-operate And the further fact that the half mil Hon members ot tho Moose had been re crultod without tho Insurance attractloi would seem to Imlloata' that the field l ready for co-operat.vo efforts along new and nioro radical lines."

STANDARD WEIGHT FOR GEMS Uniform System of WHeklutr Pre cious Stone Adopted by Governments. Tho metrio carat of 200 milligrams ha been adopted as the standard of weight for diamonds and oilier precious stone by tho bureau of standards, department of commerce. This standard will be used In thb certification of all carat weight submitted to tho government for certification In the future. Tho Treasury department has also adopted this standard to be uc-i In the customs service In levying tho duties on gems. This change from the former Indefinite carat weight, usually equal to about S0S.3 milligrams, to the definite metric Carat warn made possible by the Joint action ot all the large dealers In precious stones. They realized the chaotic condition due to tho various weights used as a carat and, deciding upon th metrio carat a a solution of the difficulty, agreed to puts Its use into effect 011 the same duU. Until recently nearly every civilized 'country of tho world has used a differ ent standard of weight for diamonds, the artlclo ubove all upon which theto shouUi bo the best agreement ns to the urlt of weight because of the great value of tho commodity. Itccently tho movement of uniformity In the standard rapidly gained ground, and Spain. Italy, Bulgaria, Den mark, Norway, Japan. Portugal Rumania, Switzerland, Sweden. France, Germany, Holland and Belgium, with the United States are In the list of those countries now using the new International stan dard. England Is the only country of Importanco In which th change has not yet been made, but considerable progres toward that end has been made, tren In that country. Circular No. 4, Just Issued by the bereuu of stnndards. gives complete tables by wnicn wcignts in the old carats can be determined In the units of tho new and vice versa. By using tho tables one may dotermlno the weight of a diamond In th terms of the now carat. It tho weight lc the old units Is known.
