east of Ellsworth and the proud
parent of a mass meeting, getting
his mail from Jewell. Uncle Os-

sary.

have gone to their last rest. 1t is
part of the Elks' creed that the viz
tues of a brother are never forgot

reminder to all Of this fact. On
Dec. 5th the thoughts of nearly half
"a million Elks will go out to the
friends who have left them to appear
before the Grand Exalted Ruler Of
the Universe.
Rev. H. L. Haywood, chaplain, is
to be, the eulogist and will undoubt-
eddy pay a fitting tribute to the de-
parted brothers.
The music will be supplied by a
mixed quartet composed Of Mrs. Ed
ma L., McCauliff, Miss Meta Nickel
son and Messrs. Byard Dodge and E.
S. Boudinot, a male quartet compos-
ed of Messrs. Warren B. Dodge, 2.

nett Hanrahan, Mr.. Lloyd DeFrance
with violin solos, and Miss Rosalind
Cook, who will officiate at the organ
for the professional, occasional and
accomplishments.

No Formal Opening.

It was hoped by the board of SUI
pervisors that formal opening OF
the new county farm house might be
held this week and quite an occasion
be made Of the taking possession of
the beautiful new home, the finest
in the state, but it has been decided
that this will not be possible. The
electrical lighting of the house is
not yet completed and there still re-
mains some of the plumbing to be
installed and other details of minor
Importance. The present managers
of the farm, Mr.. and Mrs. A. w.
Cater, will begin Immediately to
move into the new building without
the formaIities Of public reception,
although the public is cordially in
vited to visit and inspect the new
home as they have been doing for
tho past six weeks.

cash men say no evidence of large

corn but advise purchases all breaks
and believe higher prices on the
way. The wheat market rebounds
easily from breaks. Wheat news far
from bullish but visible stocks are
too small. May oats buy all dips.
