Elks' Picnic and Dance.

Elks' Picnic and Dance.
 The Elks scored another success with their Labor day celebration, the picnic and dance at the reservoir.
 A big dancing pavilion was erected by the members. Japanese lanterns and purple and white decorations and the big pines towering above made it a very pretty scene at night. During the afternoon, after the jewellers had lunched, many of them danced, and that night there were a hundred and fifty auto loads of Elks and their guests at the grounds. The floor was unusually good considering its temp. orary nature and the amateurishness of those who laid it. The music, by the Waters orchestra, was too tempt ing to permit much sitting out, and cold drinks, hot coffee and hot dogs kept up everyone's endurance until nearly midnight
 The dance proved so popular and successful that it was announced from the pavilion that there would be an other one there on Wednesday night of this week. The committee in charge were: A. J. Sullivan, chairman; w.. D. Draine, Hill Lewis, Clyde J. Hunni- cutt, c. M. Archer and Henry Albers, who, with the assistance of Paul Coffin, Dr. Finn, Fred Thompson, Mrs. Archer and Mrs. Sullivan, Burnell Os- Ter, and numerous others, saw that every detail was attended to and ev- eryone taken care of.
