LAKELAND ELKS
HAD BIG Time !?
AT CONVENTION

The last of the Elks are home from
the convention AZ West Pa, m Beacl;
and all declare they had the, time of
their more or less young lives.
Some of the party went on down to
Miami, namely c. S. Whipple, Fred
Benford, Henry Conibear, T. L..
Seen, Roscoe Skipper, Mr.. and Mrs
William Steitz, DR.. and Mrs. w. S.
irwin and Mr.. and Mrs. Watts.
Several hard luck stories are being
circulated, but. all have to do with
hutos. c. f. Harvey burned out three
coils on the way over and final y gave
up in despair and he and his com
panion, C. B. Corey, never reached
their destination. On the way home,
Joe Levay collided with a COW, dam
aging it to quite an extent, and Bill
Steitz lost an hour or more by run
hing decidedly into a ditch, but all
these tales are as nothing to that re-
lated by A. r. Yarbrough, G. r.
Owens. J. E. Sloan and R. G. Patter-
son. The party hit the sand road be-
tween Melbourne and st Cloud away
in the night and ran cut of gas, and
here they were all by themselves ''on
the lone prairee.' After achieving
some. degree of comfort they lay
down to sleep, perchance to dream"
and r. G. Patterson, following the
Freudian theory to t. dreamed of a
owing oil we'll. In the morning. af-
.er reconnoitering tour, Mr.. Patter-
sen returned to the camp with a to.
matO can full of honest -to-goodness
gasoline. which ne claimed for a
l,4 IL
lowing we'll, but as his honesty over
came him, he admitted that it was
rom the. gas tank Of an abandoned
motorboat at the edge of the lakes
where two more quarts were obtained
It's good story anyway. and ought to
rove something.
The Lakeland delegation showed up
inc in the parade, practically all ex
'ept the band being in roller chairs
)f course, the first number was Joe
LeVay, our own exalted ruler, who
vas leading the band. He was wear.
ing band coat and little hat, about
twice the size of nothing, and the
jauntiness of that hat perched mid
way the left ear and the dome of his
head, Joe got the first prize on his
ooks and claims itkwas a complete
surprise to him, but there are thos
who claim that Joe's little hat anL
lis solemn countenance in juxtaposi
ton one to the other are what Sc
cured the prize. and Joe admits tina
lie brought both his hat and hi,
3olemnity from home. so you see how |
it is. Doc Irwin. who got the prize
for being the littlest Elk, also claim.
he didn't know anything about it til !
it was over. but he had himsel:
squeezed in between Brother Steit:
md Mrs. Steitz in a chair that wa:
meant for two. so what could you eX
pect?
AS for the band, no deep-laid plan
was necessary to secure its prize.
vas a hit everywhere it went from
he minute it landed, and was called
he life of the party" Its first stree;
concert elected the prediction that
would win first prize. All who con
ributed to sending the band to Yves;
Palm Beach may feel that it was
money well spent as advertising for
the city, and the Lakeland delegation
are for the band heneeforth and for
ever.
