There is little joy seen on the coun-

field material. Things look better in
the line as I'VE of last years veter-
ans are back, but not d man of the

It's up to Rueber to get an entire
new backfeld and new ends. Six new
men must be drilled in the most diff
rult positions.
McGurren, the last years center, is
expected back. Biersdorff and Nc
Donald, guards, are on the ground. as
are both Haskins at tackle positions.
McKinstry, a safeguard last year, is
out. Page, who subbed last year, Is

previous to this date, DR.. Starting. w.
e. Hunt and Addison Leech had been
at work booming interest in the Elks
and IL can be said that II was largely
due to their efforts that Fargo secured
a body of the order at that early date.
On the day the lodge was to be in
stituted the railroads ran special trains
from the twin cities and a large dele
cation came from those cities to par
ticipate in the festivities under the
lead of Ike Lederer, who Is considered
today to be the father of the local
body. The thirty eight candidates were
initiated by the ST. Paul team and be-
came the charter members. After the
work had been completed a large ban
quet was served in the old Columbia
hotel, to which 1876 sat down.
This was the beginning Of the local
lodge, which has since played such an
important part in the social history of
the city.

f
Fargo has q strong lodge Of the
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks,
43s Of the prominent men Of the city
being members
The Ellxs is one of the elite organiza-
tions OF the country. The local lodge
stands high among the clubs of the
land, being one OF the strongest bodies
that is to be found in a town the size
OF Fargo.
The lodge is a social and charitable
one which has done much for the bene
fit of the members and for their fami-
lies, When first organized it was
strictly social club. 1t was born In
New York city in the early seventies
and was known as the Jolly Corks The
orfginators were actors who met at
regular intervals for a good social
time. The father of the lodge was
Chas. Vivian, who with the assistance
OF w. ]. Florence, formed the first club.
For three or four years the organ
ization continued under the name OF
jolly Corks and some six or seven
lodges were formed, all the members
being actors. However, in the latter
seventies the lodges which had been
formed held a general meeting and
decided to expand and let in men Of
other walks of life as members. They
also decided to adopt the name of Be
nevolent Protective Order of Elks. This
was in brief the early history of the
order. Since that time the order has
expanded to all parts of the country
and is now considered one Of the
strongest lodges in the United States.

Six Lodges In the state.
There are six prospecting lodges OF
Elks in North Dakota They have
total membership OF over 1000.
All are affiliated with the grand
lodge Of the United States but so far
no steps have been taken toward the
organization OF a state body which lis
allowable, and has been accomplished
In several OF the states. At the pres
ent time there Is only one state officer
M. Stanchfield Of Grand Forks, state
district deputy.
The lodges all over the state are very
progressive and in the best financial
condition. The jamestown lodge has
built fine home for itself: Afinot has
one under construction, Grand Forks
will occupy its own building about Dec.
/, while Valley City and Dickinson are
collecting a fund for the purpose. In
this matter the Fargo lodge is not
on foot for the erection of a home
within the next couple of years which
will in every way be a notable addition
to the city.
The Present Officers.
The present officers of the Fargo
lodge are among the leading men OF
the city. They are:
Exalted Ruler--Addison Leech
Esteemed Leading Knight-Jas III.

Esteemed Loyal Rnight-O. J. Burns.

A Prominent Fargo Lodge.
While the work OF the lodge is secret,
as is the case with other lodges, 1t has
won a high place in the estimation OF
the people OF the city, who do not be-
long to it. 1t stands in the front rank
of Fargo's lodges. One thing which
has done much to bring the Elks to
the notice OF the people has been its
memorial days. This day is held on
the first Sunday in December Of each
year. and is in honor of those members
OF the order who have passed to the
Great Beyond.
Ever since its organization in Fargo
these memorials have been public and
the members have always made the
occasion a most impressive one. They
have always presented a good musical
programme and have been at no little
pains to secure one or two OF the best
speakers that are to be found. The
ritual Is a most impressive ceremony
and has created feeling OF respect for
the order among all who ever attended
Ia feeling which the lodge is In every
respect worthy.
In summing up 1t can be said with
truth that the Elks lodge in Fargo has
been leading organization and one
which has played an important part In
Icreating that spirit OF brotherhood for
which the people of the city are noted.

that football, basketball, baseball and

there was change Harvard began
to win. Somehow Haughton had
learned that fellow could be great
football player even IL his father
wasn't multi-millionaire and he
didn't belong to the SWEETEST set in
Harvard. A more democratic spirit
appeared, and Harvard teams won.
Chances are bright for repition this
year.
The Harvard sqNad, or at least a
goodly portion, reported last Monday.
The only serious loss there is Captain
Burr He was great player, but the
Crimson can win without him, as has
been proved by the fact that he was
not in the game against Yale last year.
