ELKS AS BIG
 BROTHERS

To the fallen man. ho him who i9 bitter ridden to him who sees no ray of light in life, who sees the gloom and darkness and hears only the clarion blare of the disgruntled and pessimist there comes one flash of lght through the Big Brother movement.
 To be a big brother, means every thing 10 the brother himself, and the one who is taken under the watchful care of his friend IL means to the brother the right 70 live in house by the side ot the road to stop ih" wenderer who treads paths of wroae and roads to failure; watch tGa kindly eye the mistakes oi q friend; to tell him quickly. not complaining ly. and whispering in his ear words of encouragement. face him round helping him and pushing him forward to success and LIFE.
 Misery loves company II does not love the company ot hose who look ,R ith frowns and scots and irony upon its mistakes. The better than thrm' feeling can bring nothing but deeper gloom, more bitter hatred, more fearful cynicism and a further step into the mlre. But it does love sympathy and affection. it welcomes the extended hand of hope and belief. II likes fy Nldship. IL eagerly re- ceives oyepures Of proficrcd aid sincerely tendered.
 Wholly hopeful. enthusiastic warm hearted, bright and cherry, the Elk can be a real big brother to his friend. There is no easier way 70 reach friend than to be a friend. There is no Rindlier way to help man than to oe man. All of this the Elk can and will be. He Is friend he is a MAN; he can be a brother and has lately demonstrated his abil- ity 10 soothe, sustain and keep his friend from the iower strata of mis- take and failure.
 X kindly word spoken now, will save many days of sorrow later on.

indiana Had Code.

We hear great deal in these times
about improved methods Of commune.
cation. Apparently the wireless, the
the cable, give us an in
superable advantage over the peoples
Of other times. Especially would this
seem to be true in warfare. But it is
nevertheless fact that even saw
ages have means Of communicating
with each other at a distance. The
American Indian developed smoke and
drum signals to high degree of per-
lection. When danger threatened outs
posts passed the word along by means
of q tom-tom or signal fires. In the
on se cf the tnm-tnm sevarei trihes ha 4
q whole series OF signals that were con-
veyed by beating these rude drums.
Anyone who has ever attended an In
dian pow-wow and heard q war drum
beaten will not soon forget It, This is
Ions, rolling sound. the drum giving
forth hoarse echoes that literally make
the blood run cold. A tom-tom res
sounding to the war roll is a thing to
hear once and remember forever.
But the smoke signals Of the Indian
were the more effective and could be
employed over greater distances. BY
placing q blanket above firo and re-
moving Il quickly at certain intervals,
once. twice. half dozen times. the
Indian signaler made plain his mes
sage to a watcher far away. This
Morse code was in constant use, and
some tribes developed 1t to state Of
notable efficiency.

Nashville, Tenn. Dec. e7.-Charged
with conspiracy to violate section 9
OF the selective draft service act. Fred
Toney. star pitcher Of the Cincinnati
Reds. apd Jesse Webb, tax assessor for
Davidson county. were placed under
arrest on a warrant issued by United
States District Attorney Lee Douglas.
Both pleaded not guilty waived ex-
animation and were bound over to the
March session Of the federal district
court by United States CommissioNer
Harry Luck. t
"A bond OF $4,000 for Toney was fur
nished by Frank Underwood. local
restaurant proprietor. and he was re-
leased. The pitcher refused to make
any statement concerning his arrest,
altho Webb, government repre-
sentative on local exemption board No.
2, OF this city. declared after he had
made bond that he was innocent Of the
charges and would easily prove his
claim when the case came up for trial.
Year in Jail IL Guilty.
The punishment for the offense
charged against Toney and Wehb-that
Of conspiring to make fraudulent rep
resentation of dependencies-is one
year In a federal prison, followed by
army service.
The arrest Of Toney and Webb fol-
lowed an Investigation conducted by
the government for the last two weeks.
A warrant for the arrest was issued
Saturday afternoon, but efforts OF
United States marshals to locate either
Toney or Webb proved futile.
Claim Hurisr swors Falsely.
II lis claimed In the warrant that
Toney, when registering under the
draft act, falsely swore that his wife,
child. mother, stepfather, and sister
are wholly dependent upon him for a
livelihood. At that time the Red pitch
.er gave his income as 5000 annually,
represented by salary from the Gin
cinnati club, in an affidavit with which
he supported his alleged exemption
claims.
District Attorney Lee Douglas claims
that for the last three years Toney
has not lived with his wife, who is
employed az an operator by the Cum
beriand Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, has contributed little to her sup
port, and further. that his exemption
claims were not supported by the facts.
Toney began his baseball career on
the corner lots Of Nashville.
