ELKs MEMORIAL PLANS.
Impressive Exercises Will Be Held ii
Barre Next Sunday.

| The Elks' Memorial day, the day
| upon which the order throughout the
world pays solemn and rererent trib-
ute to the memory of those members
who have passed beyond, is next Sum
day. Everywhere. north, south, east
and west, where those of the antlered
fraternity may be found, fervent pray
er will arise from Elks assembled in
| memoriam to show that while an Elk
may 60 he never is forgotten. Exer-
| cises, in some places brilliant and in
others humble but all to the same sa-
cred end, will be held by every lodge
Of Elks In all parts of the world that
all may know in passing that though
the body and soul of an Elk may de-
part the world his memory lives on
| forever.
Montpelier lodge, in conjunction with
all Elkdom, win hold impressive ex-
ereises in the Magnet theatre, Barre,
Sunday afternoon. In order that tribute
to those Elks of Barre and Montpelier
who have answered the last call may
be as fitting az possible, Exalted Ruler
Frank j. Shea and his officers and
members have worked hard for many
weeks past arranging a program which
VIII have no peer in this section. Mont
pelier lodge is known nationally by
its ability for brilliant achievement
and the memorial day exercises are
peculiarly typical of the accomplish
ments Of Exalted Ruler Shea and his
brother Elks.
The program viii open promptly at
$3.50 O'Clock. The members Of the
lodge will gather at Hotel Barre al 2 /
o'clock sharp and when assembled, will |
march to the theatre. Every member !
has been requested to appear in full
dress suit with black vest and tie if /
possible. At the theatre the mem i
bers viii sit together in reserved |
section. The exercises are open but |
because Of the large number Of rela-
tives and friends of the members, adj
mission is on invitation only. 1t is /
expected that over 400 people win come
from Montpelier by automobile and as
many invitations have been sent to /
members in outlying towns these with
the large number of Barre Elks and
their families and friends who are TO
attend win undoubtedly fill the the
atre to overlooking. However, the bal
cony of the theatre viii be thrown /
open to the public.
The interior Of the theatre will be
appropriately decorated in honor of the
day and the large "B. T.. o. E. globe
viii shine out from the stage
The feature of the afternoon win be
the memorial address which win be
given by Judge Thomas p. Riley Of
Boston. To those who know of Judge
Riley, and few there are who do not,
little need be said of his powers as a
speaker. Judge Riley is peculiarly
adapted to make the address which the
day and the significance of the serv-
ice calls for. As judge Of the munich
pal court he has become an authority
on human nature and, therefore, I'M
derstands wen how to drive home to
all the meaning of exercises. Judge
Riley recently addressed the entire stu
dent body of Harvard and made last
ing impression. He also addressed
mass meeting of $4,000 people in New
York City short while ago. and
lodge considers itself very
indeed in obtaining his con {
sent TO speak at the exercises here.
The program win open with a march,
'Celebre7 tLachnerl, by the Magnet |
orchestra. The opening exercises will !
then be conducted by the chaplain and /
al heads win go down in honor of
hose who are sleeping forever. Lead Z
