Of these wholesale houses in various
cities Of the United States, and the
public is always welcome to visit
them.

Order Of Elks, are anticipating with =
great deal OF interest the annual
memorial session OF this lodge, which
will be held on the evening of Sunday,

ratious are now Ibeing made for the
exercises.
These memorial exercises are held
as the name indicates, in rever.

Ftaneously once each year in every
lodge Of the order in the United
States. The exercises are OF public
nature, open to everyone, and, on ae-
connt Of the beautiful memorial ritual,
are very impressive,
The arrangements now being carried
out are in the hands Of competent
committee, and the program, which
will include vocal and Instrumental
music, addresses, ETC., will be pub.
lished as soon as completed.
The place OF holding these services
has not yet been selected, As a rule
the exercises are held in the lodge
room, but owing to the insccessibility
of the room, together with its cramped
condition for occasions Of this nature,
a more commodious place may be Sc.
cured. The Tabernacle will probably
be used, as indications are that the
exercises will be we'll attended.
