THE PRINCIPLES
 OF ALL ELkDOM

The Eks are not an insurance O. assessment organization. They aye the clan whose blood circulates. Their cardinal virtues are to aid the sick, bury the dead and inject sunshine into dark places.

Their mission is to do good. There are no hungry Elks. A square meal beats prayer for a hungry -xomach
