Flag Day Services of
the Order.

The Elks and their ladies and many
friends assembled last Friday evening
at the club rooms for the annual cele-
bration of Flag Day, which is one of
he special ceremonies of the order.
There was a fine program arranged
'or the evening and all present en-
joyed both the entertainment and soc
ial feature of the occasion. The Ex-
Ialted Ruler, w. Il. Gordon, made the
opening address,. The history of the
flag was read by X. L. Christy, and
the principal address of the evening
was delivered by Hon. Allyn Cole.
There was beautiful drill by the
girl scouts, and plenty of fine music
and songs in the program. After the
program the service flag of the order
was unveiled and with becoming cere-
monies. The loyalty and patriotism of
the order and their deep reverence for
the flag whose anniversary they were
celebrating was well shown by this
flag when unveiled as it contained
fifteen stars representing about fifteen
per cent of the membership. Six of
the members are now in France, and
more will soon be there.

most noble ever undertaken and sue
cessfully carried on by human endeav-

ceeds of the sale of the articles con-
tributed by that locality. The commit
tee is receiving hundreds of valuable
and useful articles of all kinds to be
disposed of at this big auction and
many head of fine blooded live stock
