"Good of the Order"
j. U. Sammis of Sioux City gave
most interesting talk on 1.-THE
Good of the Order He is one OF
the best posted Elks in the coun
try, is an orator of rare attain
ments, and what he said was Ger
tainly of much interest and profit
to the members who were so for
tunate as to be privileged to heal
him. Allan Jackson concluded the
talkfest by responding to the toast
1.-THE Goat, j. e., the Building Com
mittee." While the committee haG
had many unpleasant things to con
tend with, said Mr.. Jackson, in the
construction of the building, it haG
received great help from the mem
bers and in the accomplishment oil
it's labOrs the committee had forgot
ten and forever buried everything Of
an unpleasant nature.
The Free Press wants to say or
its own behalf that the Elks select
ed a most competent and painstak
ing building committee and too much
credit cannot be given each individ
ual member for the splendid accom-
plishment of the arduous task.
sour Absent Brothers"
The eleven o'clock toast, Our Alb
sent Brothers." was beautifully anC
eloquently delivered by Rev. w. S
Emery midst subdued light an(
bowed heads.
Manager Bartram and the house
committee are entitled to unstinte(
praise for the beautiful floral decora

unsurpassed menu and the excellen
service provided. The young lady

credit for the part they performed
