ELKS' NATIONAL HOME.
Fred Harper to Urge Bedford as
Location of Grand Lodge.

I.ynchburg, Va, July 1.-Mr. Fred
Harper, member of the Grand Lodge
of Elks, and for several years act
lively Interested in retaining in Bed
ford CITY the National Home for indl-
gent members Of the Greer, Will at
tend the Grand Lodge meeting IN
Rochester, N Y, as a special repre-
sentative of the lodges Of Virginia
to lead the sentiment in favor OF the
Bedford City location for new home
to be constructed. The old plant has
become inadequate, in the opinion OF
the Grand Lodge, and at Portland.
Ore, in 1912, S250,0Oo was assessed
to construct a new plant.
It has been urged at various times
that the present location of the home
has proved Instantaneous in the
seven years of its establishment: that
members of the order cannot ccnvc-
niently visit in place Of the lsola-
ton of Bedford City. This is prac-
ticallv the only drawback against
Bedford City. Al each Grand Lodge
meeting of recent years fight has
been made against the present status
Of the home. but the Virginia mcm-
bcrs have always come out on top in
the discussions. 1t is said that the
opposition, while widespreaG y
scattered and unorganized, while
those favoring the Bedford situA-
ton arc strongly united in their res
olution TO keep the institution in Vir-
ginia.
