ELKS BOW HEADS
LODGE OF GRIEF
Annual Tribute Paid to the
Memory of Dead at I'M
pressive Service.
FELLENZ IS SPEAKER

Writing their faults upon the sands
and their virtues upon the tablets of
love and memory, members of the Re
nosha lodge of Elks Joined with the
membership of the great brotherhood
throughout the nation on Sunday and
in solemn lodge of sorrow paid
tribute to the memory of the brothers
who had gone before. It was most
inspiring service of beautiful music,
polished oratory, and living tribute.
The annual eulogy was delivered by
Louis L. Fellenz of Fond du Lac, dis
trict deputy grand exalted ruler for
the eastern district of Wisconsin, and
in a touching address he paid tribute
to the dead and brought hope to the
living and urged the cardinal attrib-
utes of the Elks as a rule of life.
More Than Four Hundred Attend.
The annual memorial service was
attended by more than four hundred
people, the membership of the lodge
being very largely represented. No
NOR charming setting had ever been.
arranged for the tribute to memory.
The large hall was decorated with
wealth of foliage plants and chrysan-
themums while forget-me-nots and ivy
twined with amarinth in a decoration
of the altar is a tribute to the Elks
who had fallen by the wayside during
the years since the lodge was organ
lied. An unusually impressive must
cal program was furnished by the Ok
ford quartette of Chicago, the num-
bers on the, program including Tenny-
sons Crossing the Bar" LEAD Kind
ly Light" by Dudley Buck; "One
Sweetly Stolen Thought";- an unusual
ly beautiful arrangement of "Still,
Still With Thee" and "The Vacant
Chair" James Bailey, organist for the
lodge, gave the music attending the
rituafistic services which were under
the direction of Exaltd Ruler w. D.
Martin The lodge chaplain the Rev.
I. w. Corey, gave the invocation.
Pleads for Higher Life.
In notable appeal for higher ideals
and the selection of the best in life,
District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler
Fellenz paid tribute to the memory of
the dead "We are apt to forget not
only those near and dear to US while
they are living" he said, tbut also
those whom we have numbered with
the dead. It is particularly fitting
that we gather at this the saddest
portion of the dying year to recall
memories most dear and feel again the
presence of those we have loved SO
we'll Our order aims at the eternal
brotherhood of man. It's principles
are not those of passing friendship,
but they defy the grave. This day
brings back to US memories most dear
of men whose hearts beat in SYM
patty with US as we recall the kindly
words which fell from the lips which
have been silenced for ever more. The
springtime may bring back the foliage
and the flowers, but these men will
not come back again. Human life
knows no reincarnation. These men
lost to earth are lost to earth for ever
but they have left behind them those
best things in every life which con-
tinue to be blessing to all of u.s.
Praises Tenets of the Order.

PUPILS RECITAL
DRAWS CROWD
Turned Away from
Recital Given by Keno
sha School of Music.
GIVE A FINE PROGRAM

1t was indeed standing room only
at the student recital presented under
the auspices of the Kenosha School of
Music at the Park Avenue Avenue M
E. church auditorium Monday even
ing. In fact, there wasn't even stand
ing room left at the time set for the
first number and many persons were
turned from the doors.
The recital was one of the seasons
most interesting events of prepare
tory and intermediate students. The
feature attraction was the first ap-
pearance of the student orchestra of
fifteen violins, two cellists, two violists
and pianist under the direction of Ed
mund Stella. The orchestra is just in
the preparatory stage but there was
much promise for future successes.
Richard Francis, cellist, and Frank
Haubrich, violinist, aided the organi-
zation.
Delightful Reading.
Another feature number was the
reading of "Pollyanna" by Miss Coyla
Marquissee. Without doubt it was the
finest piece of work which Miss Mar
quissee has presented in public. The
exquisite pathos and humor of the
Sunshine Girl" were excellently in
terpreted. Miss Marquissee has usa-
ally been heard in pure comedy read
ings so that it was with agreeable
surprise that many of her admirers
noted her greater capabilities.
The entire program, which is given
below, indicated an excellent CO.
operation between instructors and stu
dents which augurs we'll for the fut-
ure. 1t is probable that other recitals
will be given during the spring season.

harbor and breakwater committee,
opened the way for resembling of the
action on taking the breakwater as
sessments off the tax roll when he
made his report to the council. At

to rebate these assessments but after

men were willing to change their vote.
Alderman Thommessen moved that the
action be rescinded and Alderman Cox,
both of whom voted for the measure
before, seconded it. The motion was
passed ten to eight. Then another
motion directing that the assessments
be again placed against the property
owners on the tax roll was adopted
by the same vote.

ton of the need of license for thea
tres at a nominal charge in order to

ton on all fire prevention measures,
some of which were being violated now.
The question of providing shelter sta
tons at various places in the city for
the passengers of the street car lines
was also brought up and deferred to
the committee with directions that
they seek to secure some action from
the railway company.
The council discussed the matter Of
paying Thomas Hoben, who was re-
Gently seriously injured while in the
employ of the city, and informally
agreed that his pay should continue
during the time that he was confined
to his home or the hospital by the in
juries. A final decision on the matter
is to be made after the report of the
industrial commission is filed.

SEES GRAVE DANGER
Bull Moose Leader Sees Uprising of

Emporia, KAMA dangerous poll
teal reaction of the present NAL
adjustment in the matter of agricul-
tural interests" was forecasted in an
interview today by William Allen
White, one time Bull Moose national
committeeman for Kansas. White be-
lieves this reaction will take the form
OF "agrarian uprising like that of the
nineties which expressed itself in the
farmers alliance and populist party"
These factors, he feels, are the dis
turubing elements: A steady decline in
the price of everything the farmer has
to sell; continued increase in land
rent and interest rates; failure of I'M
employment in cities to REFUGE farm
labor wage. Unless the farmer gets
relief, White expects this political
reaction to show itself in the 1922
election.
