ELKS CELEBRATE
FLAG DAY WITH
APPROPRIATE EXERCISES

A beautiful aN impressive serv-
Ice was that held yesterday after
noon at the Auditorium when Lake
land Lodge No. 1891, B. P. o. E..
flttingly observed Flag Day with ex-
ercises appropriate to the occasion
About one hundred members of
the lodge, about half of whom were
in handsome white uniforms
marched to the Auditorium in a
body and, seated on the stage. which
was a veritable bower of flags, they
presented a handsome appearance,
indeed. Over one hundred flags
were used in the decoration of the
stage, and draped from every point
OF vantage, they made handsome
and inspiring setting for the pa
triotic exercises. The flags were
kindly donated for the occasion by
the Lakeland Book Store, and were
much appreciated by the Elks.
THE Star Spangled Banner was
the first number on the program, be-
ing sung by the members of the
lodge. Following this, the introduce
tory services were conducted by En-
allied Ruler NJ F. Hetherington and
Officers F. d. Bryan, R. l.. Ratio.
T. B. O'Steen and Kelsey Blanton.
Prayer was then offered by Chaplain
A. j. Holworthy.
The Elks have among their mem
bers some of the best male singers in
the city, and the choruses sung
were splendidly rendered. "Colum-
bia, the Gem Of the Ocean, was ef-
fectively sung by the lodge, follow
ing which Mr.. A. J Holworthy i'm
pressively read the Flag Record
A pleasing contract to the excel
lently rendered vocal numbers of the
lodge was My Old kentucky Home"
beautifully sung by Miss Vera Nc
Rae, one of I.ake,and's sweetest
singers, and whose beautiful soprano
voice was particularly fitted for this
sweet old song.
The altar service was then car
red out under the direction of En-

F. D. Bryan, Esteemed Loyal
knight R. L. Ratio, Esteemed Lee
turing Knight Kelsey Blanton.
The Elks' Tribute to the Flag was
delivered by Mr.. P. E. Chunn, who
is pleasing orator, and whose ora
tion was one of the most impressive
features of the exercises.
Miss Bertha Biewer, whose well
trained, melodious voice it is always
pleasure to hear, sang Dixie, and
every Southern heart beat in rythm
as the words pealed forth in all
their sweetness and significance.
A patriotic reading was next CIV
en- by Mrs. William Steitz, one of
the city's most gifted elocutionists,
which was excellently rendered and
much enjoyed by everyone present.
Mr.. Glendon, a visiting Elk in
the city, sang a sacred song, which
was approximately received, Mr.
Glendon posing deep baritone
voice, which was heard to excellent
advantage.
The patriotic address of the occa-
sion was delivered by Mr.. S. w.
Lawler, a Lakeland attorney, who
was heard with interest, his address
being well delivered and very appro-
pirate to the occasion. Mr.. Lawler
spoke as follows:
Mr.. LAWYERS Address
Today the entire world of Elkdom
lis gathered to celebrate that which
should be to us one of the grandest
days of the year, Flag Day.
We are the only distinctive Amer
lean fraternal brotherhood whose
doors are open only to American
citizens, and as such an exclusive
American institution it is fitting
that we should have chosen as one
of our emblems that which is the
safeguard of our national honor and
the cherished principles of our ma
tional life-the American flag.
1t is we'll that we should set apart
one day in each year to do honor to
this, our cherished emblem this
flag that is to the world of Elkdom
doubly sacred, for as the flag of our
country it represents the screaming
eagle in the turbulent time of war,
