broad land it's patriotic citizens
throughout it's borders should set
aside this day to commemorate It's

Her achievement in war and peace,
her beloved sons that have left

The local Lodge Of Elks have
volunteered to commemorate the
day solely from a patriotic stand
point. They will entertain the
school children Of New Iberia,
both public and private on that
afternoon. They are making ar
rangements to entertain at least
1900 children with appropriate
exercises in the Elks Theatre
,build;ng at Two. o'clock. Every
pupil win be furnished with a
State flag as well as a flag OF his
country and arrangements ale
being made to have all the school
children assemble at the High
School building, proceeded by a
band of music, march to the Elks
Theatre where the exercises will
be carried out with most ap-
propriate programme Of music,
songs and speeches.
Hon. L. T. Dulany has been
chosen by the Elks to be the Ora
tor of the Day. On account of the
large number Of children to be
accommodated, the entire lower
floor of the Theatre will be re-
served for them, the upper floor
and balcony will be open to the
public. ~ -
After the exercises are over the
Elks will hold a Reception from
four to six p. m. in their Home,
where music and light refresh
ments will be served.
In honor of the day, the Elks
urge that all business houses will
in some manner decorate their
fronts with flags and bunting and
otherwise assist in making this
day a memorable one.
