Ladies Are Interested.
You Bill Elks don't need to think
that because you are impersonatlng
woman suffragettes and have the
only suffragette band in the world,
that we are not with you heart and
soul. We realize the fact that you
are fun makers, and laugh promot-
ers, and believe in showing every
one a good time, and besides the
regular features of a circus it will
be we'll worth any ones time to
take in the burlesque features,
which will be impersonated by the
we'll known men of the town. Ger
tainly we will sell carnations of the
Elks colors to the thousands that
will be at the circus, it will be great
fun for US remarked the committee
of flower girls composed of Misses
Beulah Meyer, Dee Randolph, Louise
Wise, Sybil Lowenberg, Sue Pierce,

to have dresses made of your cOlors,
purple and white, and while The

ously made US special hats for the
occasion with Elks colors predom-
mating, and you may rest assured
everybody, ladies and men, will be
wearing the royal purple colors OF
the best people on earth

selves are figuring on taking the
children to the circus, of course
they are only going in order to en-

fear having any interruption ari
their ranks broken into while pa
rading. We have ample police pro-
