For no matter where I roam
There Is no place like home,
Where never knew care.

To our nag, red. white and blue
And to our boys on land and sea.

ELKS' TREE is READY
Presents Will Be Given to Riddles
,N Tomorrow Morning.

For the little citizens of Topeka,
the ones under twelve years of age,
the annual Elks Christmas tree will be
the event Of tomorrow. The tree will
be in place tonight. 1t is to be out of
doors on Seventh street in Difference
to the flu ban, but the big piles of
presents are inside the club building
and the little folks will pass thru the
lobby in single file to gather in the
harvest that thoughtful Santa Claus
has left for them.
The plan of holding the annual Elks
Christmas tree has the entire approval
of the city health authorities, accord
Ing to an announcement today. Every
possible precaution has been taken
by the club to prevent any danger of
spreading the flu among the children.
But the parents must cooperate with
the club if the best results are to be
realized.
1t is asked of the parents of children
coming to the tree that they keep the
children at home until nearly 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, allowing
them to start for the Elks club just
long enough before the hour for them
to arrive at the stated time. The cele-
bration is to be held out of doors and
the observance of this rule on the part
Of the parents will not only save the
EIks the embarrassment of seeming
inhospitality, but will act as a preven-
tive of the children becoming cold.
The Elks have made preparations
this year for children under ~ years
of age, only, and it is therefore asked
that older children refrain from
thrusting into the line which will be
formed when the time comes for the
distribution of the gifts.
