Problem Technical One.

The sugar problem is a highly tech
meal one For some reasons sugar
has been the most misunderstood, most
misrepresented and most widely de-
hated agricultural problem and food
article in America. That the food ad-
ministration should have handled it as
successfully as it has without creating
widespread dissatisfaction among pro-
ducers and consumers is looked upon
by those of us who strongly urged
fool administration legislation as a
triumph, both for the legislation and
the spirit in which that legislation has
been carried out.
Louisiana and her neighboring states
in the south are very anxious to obtain
all of the assistance possible from the
government in solving the problems of
increased production. There has been
heavy drain on our labor, both
through volunteering and conscription
and because of the competition of great
industrial centerS. We welcome every
intelligent missionary effort which will
teach our people how to obtain a maxi
mum product from lands which are
naturally the most fertile in America

DENIES LABOR SHORTAGE.
j. S. Employment Service Investi.
gates Call of Factory for Men.

An urgent cali for 400 laborers by a
factory having a govcrnnNent contract
was cited today by the United States
employment service as evidence of the
widespread and unfounded belief
that general labor shortage exists
Representatives of the service inves-
tigated the call before attempting to
supply the men and discovered that
they would not be needed for two
weeks, and that in the meantime there
was no way to house them. The call
had been sent out. it was said. because
of fear that when the men were needed
they could not be obtained.
Hundreds of similar calls have been
received by the service, tending to de-
moralize the labor supply and cause in
dividual hardships.

zation of the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks In this city. where the

call memories Of the early days of the
order, to praise the memory of the broth
ers who have departed. and to recount the
progress and good deeds of the organiza-
ton during the half century of its exist
ence.
The Benevolent and Protective Order of
ElkS owes it's existence to one Charles
Vivian. the son of an English clergyman.
who landed in New York in the fall of
1867. The new arrival found his way to
chop houes on Lisponard street, near
Broadway. Richard Steirly was the plan
list of this place and while he was engaged
in playing for the singing of some per
sons who were present Vivian volun-
teered to sing song The proprietor

Started by Actors.
Steirly invited Vivian to dinner at his
boarding house and introduced him to
w l.. Bowron, another Englishman This
house was at that time favorite resort
of the theatrical profession The excise
laws of New York were then very strin-
gent. in consequence of which Vivian and
a number of congenial associates were in
the habit of assembling in the boarding
house parlors on Sunday afternoons for
the purpose of indulgng in social inter
course. on one of these occasions Vivian
suggested that the association be given
a more permanent and tangible form.
which proposal was enthusiastically re-
ceived
The organization was formed in the
winter of 1s61-6S and was given the
name of the Jolly Corks," in allusion
to a trick which Vivian and Bowron
had learned in England and which they
had practiced to the great amusement
of their associates.
The popularity of the new organiza-
ton soon caused it to overtax the ca
pacity of the boarding house par1ors
New quarters We're secured in Delaney

bers and financial strength until steps
were taken for placing the society on

The Grand Lodge was incorporated
in 1871 and at the same time the par
ent body took the name of New York
Lodge No. ]. A short time later an
other subordinate lodge was chartered
in Philadelphia. BY 1882 the order had
of nearly 1000 members. Today there
states. with an aggregate membership
of nearly half a million.
The Eiks is purely a fraternal So
ciety. 1t has no insurance feature and
it is not a burial society. although it
performs that function. 1t is organ
lied for social purposes and that men
may give one another strength and
support in the battle of life. Its prin-
ciples are charity, justice, brotherly
love and fidelity.
There are a number of things which
make the order distinctive and by
which it is known. The clock, with
the hands pointing to IL, is among
these. This refers to the IL O'Clock
toast. which is always proposed at
that hour when members of the body
are assembled. At that hour all arise
and propose the toast, ITO our absent
brothers"
Another manner of remembering the
departed brothers is the memorial
service which is held the first Sunday
OF December each year. This is pub
lie and is usually made up with fine
musical program. The names OF all
departed brothers are called that day.
