the best entertainment ever offered to
the public here by local talent, There

plete, for those who care for good
wholesome amusement. There are
mirth provoking stunts that will stir.
the disabilities Of the most passive
personalities.
The entertainments given by the To-
cal Elks are always looked forward
to with anxious pleasure. They have
established a reputation Of producing
m~eritor.olus shows and %circuses and
they have always lived up to this
reputation.
But it is not to amuse the public
alone that these entertainments are
given. There is a deeper reason anu
that Is while the members are giving
their fellow townsmen an evening Of
mirth they are also thinking Of the
unfortunate whose lives are filled
with the cares and troubles that be-
set them. 1t is to relieve suffering
and want so far as they can that.thess
