gest kind, "by far the biggest thing
vet arranged in Los Angeles" is the
oninion of those who have seen 1T In
preparation. The big grocery store
alone will have more than 10000 arti-
Giles, yet, large as it is, there are SO
many bewildering and beautiful pooths

directed to it.
One of the many surprising things
about it is the foresight that has been

of Los Angeles hospitality is spread
for years to come from Honolulu 10
Maine. -,
The importance of early preparation
for the convention was felt by the
Elks even before the Los Angeles dele
cation secured the event. Motley tlint
hit upon the happy idea of raising
funds by festival, which, after the
fashion of Elks, would give more tnan
value received. Every member or W
