Committees were long ago secretly appointed to scout the world for the best talent that could be obtained. No restrict ions were put on the means of oo- taining the necessary talen, and no limit was placed on the price which would be paid for it. Clint Draper, celebrated trainer of many of the great voices that have beeu heard in mintrelsy, was inducted into service, with instructions to ,go get 'em, and he did. For weeks and months he searched all the civilized lands and climes for mem bers of the organization that is tt give Pine Bluff possibly the rirs1 real minstrel treat she has ever had.

.ELKS AS BROTHERS
 LEND HELPING HAND
Aid Wayward Boys to Get Started
 On the Right Path.

Ore of the most useful activi- ties of the Order of Elks is that embraced in what is known as the Big Brother Movement" Briefly big brother is 8 man who takes upon himself the burden of look ing after a friendless boy in the same manner as an elder brother would.
 Regardless of the fact that no relationship exists, the foster big brother puts his arm around the youth and endeavors to get the boy out of any wrong paths where he may have strayed, and once the boy is started on the right track, the big brother encourages him to stay there.
 The Elks do not claim the honor of originating the idea which has now grown into a nationwide sys- tenn; whoever it was, he is en- titled to praise for devising per haps the most attractive way in which assistance can be given to a wayward boy, without, on the one hand hurting his pride by making him feel that he is an ob- ject of charity, and on the othe, hand, running the risk of driving him further away from good things by a too heavy restraint on tho boys natural restlessness.
 But the Elks while not originat ing the plan were quick to appre ciate its value, and what was a1 first an unorganized effort on th( part of various individual mem bers, soon became distinct de partment, national in it's scope, anC under the general supervision of : special committee appointed by th chief executive of the Order. .sUn : der this systematizing, the worl of the individual lodges has beel made much more efficient, and tn good results are apparent.
 Scarcely an Elks' lodge now bu has it's volunteers, each of whom stands ready to be big brother t ,, some boy in need. In fact, man, of the juvenile courts of the coun try have recognized the aid offer ed by the Elks. One of the diff culties of the parole system o these courts has been. that tn wayward boy was directed to re port from time to time, in orde that the court might not lose sigh , of him. But it was found tha in actual practice the boy ofte failed to report, and that the fail ure often arose because he coul not bring himself to again ap proach what, to him, was branc of the police system; yet it deve' oped that this same boy would re port to a big brother without an fear. As result, every juvenile cou,
