SPLENDID TALK
GIVEN FOR ELKS
Reverend H. w. Jones of Chicago
Speaks at Baraboo Lodge On
Friday Night

The Elk lodge rooms were filled
last evening by members who came
to hear Rev. H. W. Jones of Chicago
address the lodge on "Elkdom's Lau-
dation From the Standpoint of a
Clergyman and those who did not
take advantage of the opportunity
have much to regret. Rev. Jones' sub
he. himself is a broad-minded man
with modern theme that he eloquent
ly handles. His tribute to the Order
of Elks and the principles which it
teaches from the viewpoint of a min
lister Of the Gospel was a delight to
those who heard it.
The speaker joined the Elks in Free
port, N. Y. and stated that in that
city with population of 1000 there
are now 1900 E1ks including eleven
ministers. He stated that the Order Of
Elks has the opportunity of becoming
the greatest order in the country and
it behooves it's members all to walk
the straight and narrow path as the
whole order might be judged by the
weakness of a few He cited the
martyrdom of several prominent Elks,
told how President Mckinley when
assassinated died with the Elks' fav-
orite hymn on his lips, Nearer My
God To Thee" The members were re-
minded of how Archie Butt, an Elk,
inspired the hand on the fated Titanic
to play the same tune as the ship
slowly sank after being struck by an
iceberg. Among those on the Lusitan-
ia was Charles Frohman, prominent
Elk, who surrendered his life belt to
a woman just before the big. ship went
down The latter told with tears in
her eyes of the sacrifice made by Mr..
Frohman.
During the World War the Elks
raised $4,000,OO0 for the use of the
Salvation army and made the reputa-
tion they achieved possible. Reverend
Jones was instrumental in raising this
large sum through his lectures through
out the country and was sent across
to see how it was spent. He became
a chaplain in the army and while en-
gagged in this work received cable
from his wife stating that the govern
ment had sent her word that their only
son had been killed at Chateau Thier-
ry. Chaplain Jones went on with his
work among the boys over there for
six months longer and was finally
sent to address the 23rd infantry, the
very regiment to which his own son
had belonged. He did not believe he
could stand the ordeal but finally
went and what what was his complete
and overpowering joy and surprise to
find that his son was still alive and
there to greet him.
Chaplain Jones closed his talk with
a plea for relief for the Armenians
and the thousands of starving children
left orphans by the prosecutions of
the Turk
The address by Rev. Jones was fol-
lowed by a social session and lunch
