Following close on the heels of the
Blue lodge with an anniversary cele-
bration is that of the Hammond Elk
Hodge tomorrow night. The Best Peo-
pie on Earth" will celebrate their ninth
anniversary in Hammond and a good
program has been prepared to be given
in the club rooms this evening to COM
memorate the the opening of the lodge.
The program includes the initiation of
Charles N. Nau and possibly one other
candidate. The initiation viii be fol-
lowed by a luncheon and smoker dur
ing which there will be short talks and
speeches. Owing to the limited quar-
ters which for the present are large
enough to accommodate the lodge but
not large enough to accommodate all
the visitors who the lodge would like
to invite, the celebration invitation has
been issued to lodge members only and
Iitinerant Elks.
The Commentary holds it's regular
session next Monday night at which
time it will confer the Templar degree.
There Is one subject in the minds
of the Elks at present which may be
touched on by some of the speakers and
for which committee has already been
lappointed, namely the building of an
Elk club house in Hammond. Ham
mond E1ks are thinking seriously Of
the subject and it is only due to the de-
preston In the country that the plans
have not materialized already. The
prospects, however, at this time are
} that before another anniversary cele.
bration is due that the Elks will not BIZ
far away from their present goal.
