ART DEPARTMENT
OF FAIR MAKES APPEAL.

Those in charge of the art depart
ment of the fair ask for contribu-
tions to the exhibit Mrs. Henry B.
Mashburn is chairman of this com
mittee, and she asks that people who
own old pictures in oils, crayons
water colors and drawings, lend them
to the Fair in order that the display
may be large and beautiful. 1t is
not necessary that the display may
be large and beautiful. 1t is not
necessary that the work has been
done by the owner, but on the other
hand. if a picture has been given to
family by friend, the picture
may be exhibited in the name of the
owner. Basketry, china and all ar
ticles along art lines are asked for,
and great care will be taken of them.
1t is urged that this exhibit be made
one of the most beautiful at the fair,
and Mrs. Mashburn would appreciate
telephone call so that the articles
may be collected, marked and placed
this week, ready for opening day.
Many lovely pictures and articles
have already been loaned, and 9th
ers are expected to add to this col
lection.

ORIGIN OF HELLO BILL

William Goddard, of Minneapolis Lodge No. A, is the original Hello Bill" of Elkdom, and his cheerful sal utation which has found its way around the world originated in Mime apolis during the Elks' National Re union in that city in 1897.
 Brother Goddard was the treasurer of Minneapolis Lodge, chairman of the Finance Committee, and a member of great many other committees that had charge of the arrangements for the Elks' reunion that year, and he spent great deal of his time at the committee headquarters.
 When visiting Elks came to the headquarters to inquire about matters they wanted to know about, If they happened to meet anyone who was not fully posted they were usually told to GO over there and ask Billy God dard," and it was a constant strain of Billy, can you tell me-" "see Billy, he knows" etc. This was repeated so necessarily that the stranger Elks when they approached Brother God dard greeted him with the expression, "Hello, Bill!' In a day or two the custom spread to the streets, with Elks from all parts of the country, and passing each other they sang out cheerfully, Hello Bill!' and they car ried the greeting back to their home lodges, and so it has spread around the ends of the earth.
