EIks Meeting Tonight.


Exalted Ruler Mcdonald wants
every Elk in the cit.' to be present to-
night at the special meeting which is
being called for the purpose Of maxi
ing arrangements to attend the big
state convention at Grand Forks next
Wednesday and Thursday, June 81
and %.
He is not alone In this desire, as
Esteemed Leeturing Knight Brewer,
Cal. Morton Page. Joe Purcell, the
members Of the committee appointed
to attend to the Grand Forks con-
yention delegation, would like to see
everyone on hand so that they may
form some estimate Of just how many
intend to be present at Grand Forks
and capture the convention for Fargo
next year.
This is a decidedly important meet
ing and everybody should be on deck
at the right time, SO that all arrange
ments may be perfected. AS the
socialibility run of the Fargo Auto
mobile club will be made on the same
day 1t Is thought that the Elks trip
win be more than successful.
So far as the Grand Forks lodge Of
Elks, No. 255 is concerned nothing re-
mains to make the Cuccess of the state
convention In this city June 81 and 20
complete except the arrival of the
antlered ones. And IL all indications
can be taken as a basis for prediction,
there will be absolutely nothing lack
Ing In the way OF crowds for the
gathering are coming from all
points of the compass.
The programme for the two day
session has been arranged, Business
will be one of the features of the
gathering--and only four hours will
be necessary to dispose Of 1t. 1t is
so arranged that life may be made
more pleasant for the gathered herds
These four hours will be taken out of
the afternoon of the first day.
But the fun gives promise of being
rich and rare at every stage of the
game. Grand Forks will see a festi-
val of mirth such as 1T has not had to-
deal with for many days. There v I'll
be thin Elks, fat Elks. long Elks and
short Elks in town-and every Hello
Bill In the country is going 10 be
made just as welcome as though the
whole show had been gotten UP just
for his special benefit.
No. 255 has a way of its own when
Ii comes to entertaining. Wait and
see. That Grand Forks lodge can
crowd more fun In ten minutes than
the average barrel OF live monkeys
can dispense in two hours. And for
this special occasion, every fun pro-
Queer on the lodge rolls will be on
duty twenty-four hours each day.
Then there will be the parades
The evening of the first day will find
the big automobile parade, feature
that will be well worth while. Auto
mobile owners of the city are already
exhibiting an active interest in this
feature and many OF them will be ont
In force. Some splendid prizes will
be awarded.
On the day following there will be
the Elk parade, and that feature bids
fair to hold the front rank for some
little tirae from a parade point of
view. 1t will be gorgeous affair and
the Elks Of the whole state win be
there in full force.
