BIGGEST AND BEST MINISTRIES
 THAT HAVE EVER BEEN PRODUCED
Marvellous MeIanGe of Mrth and Melody, Making Musical Meal That Will Melt in Ones Mouth, Is MOdestIy Mentioned. You Must Not Miss It.

Again the 'Ells' Booster make4 it's bow'wow to the reading public of the world, for it must be understood that our circulation is not limited. and any man, woman or child who fails to get copy of this splendid publication should notify our circu- lation department at once.
 Our space is not devoted to givina the narrowing details of some bloody conflict in which some nation is con tending for it's freedom. nor does it teem with bitter Remuneration of the leaders of the various political par ties. On the contrary the dove of peace will be found lowering over our editorial column We are at peace with all the world and want the world in return, to send representatives to the minstrel performance we are ar ranging to present at the Auditorium theater on Tuesday night, February l3. You will hear some" songs. and see some" singers and watch some" dancers doing some dancing, and to sum up the entire affair you're 20. ing to see some show"
 The net earnings of the "Jollies of 1917" will be used for a good pur- pose, regardless of just how we spend 1t, it is going to be spent right. In fact, you are going to get $l0 worth for one, and every relative and friend whom you tell to is going to get ten times their dollars worth, SO why not make an endless chain of good? Everybody is going 10 get good out of this show-but say what the use of arguing? Tn eElks will give you tickets and take your money at the box office Try it.
 The more We tell you about this show the more things we think of that you ought 10 know about it. We are really trying to lead up to the point that the Elks Mammoth Minstrel show is to be one of the grandest performances 0f it's kind ever presented in this city, and with the talent selected. we know where of we speak
 The show is not one of the old time minstrels, with few end men cracking" jokes and a few "hur- ray songs, but every number is novel in the extreme and every number is rehearsed until it is an individual

dice to sec which shall pay the Char, Qn's toil The Elk does not seek 10 pry into the future, for he realizes perfectly well that if he waits hell know all about it. And for a similar reason he does not chase after wom- on for he knows if he doesn't women will chase after him. And they do.
 There seems to be little danger that this fraternity will evolve into a religion. Most people take their re ligion seriously. but the Elk takes his with selt2er He knows that truth is a point of view that nothing is final or absolute: nor may it be in a world where nothing is permanent but change. So the Elks religion is Now and Here to partake of all good things in moderation; to give us love and kindness, because these things come back. and to supply a scrap only to the man who repeatedly asks for ii and will accept nothing else; this is a matter of accommodation.
 To do good is the first prong in an Elk's creed And he believes. being wise, that the best way to benefit yourself is to benefit others As for myself l am strictly on the hose cart, so | do not affiliate very closely with the boys and if I were flying light and wanted to borrow sl0 or s20 maybe. I'd tackle the first Elk I met, without apology or eXplana- ton. And my needs to him would be a command for he is not clannish and he knows no higher joy than 10 give the other fellow a lift. And all these things l have recorded are set down as a matter of truth, forget ting the fact that once Flint, Mich, suffered the deep humiliation Of being arrested by the Elks and was fined $2J for advertising Quaker Oats without a license.

 The Jolly Corks, after numerous meetings, and seeing the idea was q popular one. decided To organize a Benevolent organization of it.
