The local order of Elks has the White House Wool on exhibition in its club rooms. It has just been cleaned and framed.
 The Juneau Elks may justly feel proud that their organization made the highest bid in the United States for the wool offered by the President They bid $1,500 for a quarter of a pound. This sum was turned over to the Red Cross.
 Much credit is due Mrs s. Jacobs for her patience in cleaning and combing the wool. It took two weeks of tedious wofk to get it ready to frame But Mrs. Jacobs made a wonderful job of it. The quarter pound has been evenly distributed over surface of 22x30 inches, and 1t is as white as snow. Winter & Pond did the framing The frame Is of light gray and gold showing rare good taste.
 In the center Is satin bow of the Elks colors.
