INF BLUFF MECCA FOR THOUSANDS OF HELLO BILLS"

The matter of endorsing Hot Springs as the proper location for the mag nlfisent Elks Home. to be erected by the Grand Lodge of Elks at a cost of $o00,060. will also be discussed.
 Arkansas Elks know how to dispat- ch their business quickly and after 1t IS dispatched there will be plenty of things to do. There will not be q dull moment during the meeting. for when sescral thousand Elks get to- eether, something usually ha5pens. The boys are going to lay aside the sordid cares of business for a few days and will enjoy themselves to the utmost There will be plenty of entertainment, but nothing very la wish, put everyone t5 i'll go home ready to declare that Pine Bluff knows how to treat a Brother Elk.
 Mayor Simon Bloom is going to be off the job for the two days and he ht'9 'tiiCttN! IlStl UCicu HIS cuicl Ol police, J, Frank Stewart, to give all the patrolmen a two days vacation. Mayor Bloom is going to leave the city in the care of his trusted guar. dians, the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of Arkansas. For two days the Elks will own the town, lock, stock and barrel, They will unfurl Old Glory to the breeze; they will pass dp all that is calculated to worry and fret the residents of this magnificent old cotton growing sec ton by hourly tapping large and bGmptuous barrel of unalloyed mirth and efferyescing hilarity, that all may come and Fartake and otherwise to fit to the wind old remorse and all it's grouchy kindred.
 The spirit of Elkdom will prevail and where the merry air is tinctur ed with such affabli1y and generosity human tribulation and cold feet are ntFer found. There will be Elks from Little Rock, FortSmith Helena, Ar genta, TeXarkana, Camden. Stuttgart, Clarendon, Brnkley, Marianna. Jones' boro, Eureka Springs, Newport, ad liaitum. etc, and other places i'll Arkansas, too numerous to mention and when these enterprising Elks of these enterprisin9 cities get tosther then you can rest assured that there will be something doing of a most fantastic and bizarre order. if you please They are from Arkansas, and anything from Arkansas goes when those Elks prescribe and set thei.' seal of appreciation thereto with all the flourish and chivalry known only to the genuine Arkansas Elk.
 Behind the movement to entertain the state meeting will be found lead ing citizens of Pine Bluff, many of of Elks. The local order has made rapid strides since it institution ana today ranks with the best subordinate lodges of the country. It's chief char acteristic is it's hospitality and it's manner and method of treating Bro- ther Elks. It is in splendid financial condition. It's benevolent activity makes it rank as one of the foremost in the Southwest; it's quarters are

Augusta, Ga, Lodge Mo- 2O5, B. P. o. Elks has plans under consideration for the erection of a new home, to stand at the site of the present club house, which will cost approximately It is planned to make it a four-story structure, essentially clubhouse and home.
 The plans for this structure are not completed nor in definite shape, but have progressed so far that it is safe to announce the building will be erected and that the construction will commence at no far distant date. The committee reports it has been eminently successful in it's work.
 August will have, when this edifice is completed, another very attractive structure in the immediate heart of the business district and one that Augusta may well be proud of, for the Elks will take an especial pride in making their new home one of th- finest in the South, and certainly tho finest in the State.
 The land owned by the Augusta Lodge of Elks, where their home now is, is 112 feet deep with frontage of 5S feet, and it is one of the most de- sirable pieces of property in the city.
 It stands on the same side of the street and directly opposite the Geor- gia railroad Bank one of the finest structures in the city, and the ar chitecture and finish of the building the Elks will erect will detach nothing from, but add to the making of the north side of Broad street as pretty as anywhere.
 At the meeting Tuesday night the committee is expected to report satis- factorily and bids will probably be ad- yertised for. Incidentally there is nothing in the way of the construct ion commencing almost immediately after the contract is let, and this, it is thought, will mean the new home will be ready for occupancy by next year.

NEW POSTMiSTER GENERAL
 IS \ POPULAR ELK

President Woodrow Wilson's ap pointment of Albert Sidney Burleson to the high office of Postmast ster-General was especially gratifying to the 425.- 600 Elks in the United States, not only because of MT. Burleson,s S fit quail fications and excellent ability, but because he is a devoted member of Austin, Texas, Lodge Mo- 201, B. P. O. Elks.
 Brother Burleson was born in San Marcos, Texas, on June ', 1868. He re- ceived a fine education and was ad- mitted to practice law in 1881. Ills was at one time assistant city at torney of Austin, and was appointed State Attorney of the 18th Judicial District by the governor, after which he was elected to that office in 1892 and held same until 1S96 His pop ularity with the people rewarded him with the election to Congress from the Tenth Texas District in which body he served consecutively from the l6 to the last Congress.

Washington, Jan. II. - Questions

O'Gorman of New York, had indorsed
Mrs.: Stevens B.. Ayres for the presi.

These subjects precipitated a clash
between Mrs. John Sherwin Crosby of
New York, the retiring president of
the organization, and Mrs. M. T. Scott
president-general of the Daughters of
the Revolution.
Nominating and seconding speeches
displayed much feeling at times and
it was with difficulty that the chair
was able to maintain semblance of
order. The greatest show of feeling
came when the election for president
had been completed and the announce
ment made that Mrs. Ayres had been
elected.

Allies Prepared to Sacrifice 5000 IL
Taking Adrianople, II
Need ee.

London, Jan. 14.-The British secrs-
tary of state for foreign affairs, Sir
Edward Grey, and the ambassadors Of
the powers have made representations
to Rechad Pasha regarding the pro-
1ected departure of the Turkish dele
gates-which is equivalent to a defi-
mite rupture OF the peace negotia-
tions, for which Turkey is considered
responsible.
In reply, Rechad Pasha said that he
was not responsible for the suspen-
sion of the work of the conference,
which was decreed by the allies, not
only without asking his opinion, but
without even allowing him to express
1t when he begged to do so.
he has waited week, hoping that
reflection would bring the allies to
more reasonable and moderate views,
out as no move had been made on
tner part in this direction and no de-
sire had been manifested to hear
what further rectification of the from
tier Turkey was prepared to indicate

WILSON STILL coNFERs,

Trenton, N. j., Jan. 11.-President-
elect Wilson continued his confer
ences with Democratic leaders Thurs
day. He talked with Senators .O'Gor-
man of New York and Culberson of
Texas, following, as he expressed it,
his usual course of inquiry as to the
most advisable subjects to take up in
the extra session of congress and OBJ
tanning personal views of his callers as
to cabinet possibilities.

what should be done and how little
should be attempted" explained the
governor.
Mr.. Wilson pointed out incidentally
that while he was seeking to consult
as many of his friends as possible, the
fact that some of his intimate adviser
during the campaign had not yet ap
peared at the state house should no
be construed as disinclination on hi
part to consult them.
