struction in the work of the Elks
lodge We're so royalty entertained by
the people of that enterprising town
it is with surprise that we note the
party returned home Tuesday. Ger
tainly business affairs that demanded
their presence, not inclination, kept
them from staying beyond the con-
ventional time. The Pennington Elks
gave dance and banquet in their
honor The ball room decoration re-
Elected the Elks colors and the effect
was wonderful. The banquet was an
elaborate affair. The menu bloomed

interest from the fine orchards to the
apple jack factory-we are assured
that the view Of the latter was only
an exterior one.
