GOLDFlELD ELKS HONOR
TnE STARS AND STRIPES

From the opening of the beautiful
Elks' Flag Day services, held in Ek.,
hall yesterday afternoon, until tho
closing, when the entire assemblave
arose to its feet and sang "America.o
the exercises were such as to form
magnificent tribute to the historic red
white and blue flag of the republic. The
hall was handsomely decorated with
the national c%olors, mingled with the
purple and white Of the Elks. The pat.
| riotic music during the afternoon wa,
furnished by voss and Tatro, and was
exceptionally good.
The officers and members of the Elks
signaled the opening of the services by
marching into the hall in couples, each
wearing in his coat lapel a tiny Ameri.
can flag. DR.. d. A. Turner, exalted
ruler of the Elks, made a short refer.
ence to the purpose of the exercises, ex.
planning the different signifcances Of
the flag-charity, justice and brotherly
love and fidelity.
A quartet sang very sweetly "Dream.
ing the Happy Hours Away" after
which j.. +. Douglas read a brief and
concise history of the American flag,
starting with the landing of the Phi.
grims at Plymouth Rock, in 1920, and
tracing it's different notifications and
changes until he arrived at the present
time. He also gave a short history of
the name in which Betsy Ross made
the first American flag.
After the singing of columbia"
little ceremony was presented that was
impressive and pretty. Advancing
from different directions, three floral
emblems were carried to the center Of
the stage, which, when formed together
made up a fowery Liberty bell. The
base was formed of red roses built
about a network of wire; the next por-
tion was constructed of white lilies
and the upper part of the bell of vO
lets, the three pieces constituting the
national colors. At a signal a star
over the bell threw a beam of Light
over the breathless watchers. The en-
! tire assemblage then sang "Auld
Lang Syne."
The Elks' tribute to the flag, an ex
ceptionally eloquent and impressive ad'
dress, was made by Sam V. Newell, OF
Central City lodge. His rendition was
perfect. The address symbolizes the
flag as the emblem of liberty and
achievement.
A number of southern melodies were
given by the orchestra, Mrs. l. HART
son then singing a solo, responding 70
an encore. Little Ruth Hull reeited
When the Flag Goes By" using the
flag as an illustration of her stor!
Judge Robert l.. Hubbard addressed Tue
audience on Patriotism placing al
the head of his band of patriots ut

ton more considerable of public
demand, or courts more just in
the administration of the law?
Is it not true that a spirit Of
extravaganza in'public business
prevails in every branch of the
public service? The result is a
want of confidence in the courts
with distrust of our law makers
and executors. A return to the
days of economy and hoest pub
lie service is the needs of the

labor and a just consideration
by the courts for sthe rights of

Keep Your Town Alive.

Keep Your Town Alive.
A town is very much like an
individual. To be Furnishing,
it must have energy and enter
prise. The people in a town
should remember that the indi-
vidual prosperity depends to a
large extent upon the character
of the place in which their
business is located. Every
public measure should be liber-
ally supported by all, especially
the business men. At the pre-
sent day there is as much COM
petition between towns as there
is among persons and business
enterprises. A man seeking a
location will invariably select a
town that is up to the times,
and is eagerly in favor of every
improvement. A town in these
modern times can't afford to be
peopled with old fogies or ante
diluvian fossils who are contiu-
ally kicking at every enterprise
To make a hourishing town you
must believe in it's future and
work for it, encouraging every
improvement. Make a special
effort to exhibit some evidence
of improvement in your own
work and character. Help
every worthy man, help every
enterprise, and encourage every
good man to locate in your
town. Woodbine Chronicle.

man said he could go the Ere

ted for James K. Polk, in 1874,

In the Cold Grey Dawn

AAA sAAS WIN 0ASy DQWA
I dreamed that I dwelt on an
isle of cracked ice,
In the midst of a lake Of cham
payne,
Where bloomed the mint juleps
in meadows of green,
Amid showers of lithia rain.
| reclined on a divan of lager
beer foam,
With a pillow Of froth for nv
head,
While the spray from a foun-
tain of sparkling gin fizz
Descended like dew on my bed.
From far-away mountains Of
crystalline ice,
A zephyr refreshing and cool
Came waiting the incense of
sweet muscatel
That sparkled in many a pool.
My senses were soothed by the
soft purling song of a brook
let Of pousse-cafe
That rippled along over pebbles
of snow
To a river of absinthe frappe
Then. lulled by the music of
tinkling glass
From the schooners that danced
on the deep,
! dreamily slipped a highball or
two
And languidly foated asleep.
And then l awoke on bed Of
rocks,
With a bolster as hard as a
brick,
A wrench in my neck, a rack in
my head,
And a stomach detestably sick,
With sand in my eyes and grit
in my throat,
Where the tast Of last evening
still chung,
And felt a bath towel stuffed
in my mouth,
Which afterward found was
my tongue.
And / CROPPED for the thread Of
the evening before
In a mystified maze of my
brain,
Until a great light burst upon
me at last,
I'm off of the wagon again.

1.-THE time OF their lives, and besides
a whole days tennis will be treated
to dinner and dance at the Club.
The grass courts at Puunene are
looking their very best, and they
are being cut and rolled frequently.
The fence surrounding the courts
has been made higher. and the
whole grounds have been well fixed
mp In anticipation of the coming
tournament. when o. .ahu will try
to recover possession of the beauti-
ful cup that now IL In the hands OF
the Puunene Tennis Club.
The Honolulu team will leave

Practice Cricket
Match Arranged

Cricket is attracting the atten-
ito nof quite number a ball play
ers, and some o fthem have an
nounced their intention of having a
try at the game.
The success of Burns, Sumner,
Robertson and Co. has shown that
the keen eye/that is developed in
baseball is very useful at the other
game. II tn ball players could only
practice sufficiently to get used to
playing balls that come up of the
pitch, as well as they do the ones
that come in full tossed, the diamond
men would surprise the older hands
at cricket.
Give baseball man chance at
full tosser, and watch him swipe
1t out of the ground, but just pitch
the ball on the crease and the new
hand is lost.
The cricket team for Maui intends
bracticin gOn Saturday next, and 1t
Is hoped to have a match between
two elevens which will be picked on
the grounds.
This is good idea, and It is to
be hoped that sufficient players will
turn up to make two full teams.
Play will start at 2:15 sharp. and
all those intending to play are re-
tuested to be on deck then. As
much practice as possible is wanted,
for the Maui players are reported to
be In fine fettle, and as feeling con-
ndcnt that they can lower the colors
of the Honolulu bunch.

Big League Ball
On Saturday

Now that the opening day OF the
big league is getting SO close. peo-
pleare talking baseball all the time,
and many are the surmises as to how
the different teams will stack up
against one another.
The first game, which Is TO be
played the day after tomorrow, will
be between the Diamond Heads and
Punahous. and these old rivals are
putting in great ticks at practice in
PREPARATION for the renewal Of their
old time hard fought battles on the
diamond.
When the game. starts on Satur-
day there should be very few vacant
steats in the grandstand and still
less on the bleachers. All the ball
fans are eager to see big ball again.
and hundreds Of people who never
go to the minor league games will
turn out and cheer their favorites
on to victory.
The sale of tickets is going on
finely, and Eddie Fernandez Is on
deck at Gunst Eakin's store every
day from IL to 1 o'clock, ready to
hand out the season passes for the
small sum of 81 reserved. and $3.50
for ordinary seats.
As twelve games Are to be played
in the series. the cost Of a ticket Is
very moderate. and no one can do
better than invest few dollars for
the necessary pasteboard.
There will only be one game
each Saturday, and that is quite
sufficient, for It will be real good
ball by the best players In these is
lands.
On Saturday the teams and Hawa-
iian band will be conveyed out to
the grounds in special cars provided
by the Rapid Transit. Starting
from the drillshed, the cars will run
down Hotel to the o. r. & l.. depot,
and then will journey out King to
the grounds. The band will play
during the trip and It will seem like
old times again to see the men In
their uniforms down town.
