Narrow Margin. of
Profit.

ONE of the large transportation COM
panies carrying interurban traffic
across San Francisco bay, made last
year a net profit of one-half mill per
passenger out of the eighteen-cent fare
charged.
In other words, after paying operat-
ing expenses, including wages, depre-
citation and bond interest, the company
had to haul twenty people in order to
make one cent which might be applied
toward dividends.
On the package of gum which it
sells from the news stands of its ferry
boats, it secures as much profit as it
does from Transporting fifty people
from to 10 miles by rail and water.
Few industries operate on as narrow
a margin of profit as do public utili-
ties.
Few industries pay as great per-
centage of their gross earnings for Ia
Dor and taxes, as do public utilities.
Few industries in order to secure
business, do the pioneering work
which falls to the lot of the public
utilities.
No industry requires more efficient
management in order to earn dividends
than do public utilities whose earnings
are limited by law and whose success
or failure rests on the shoulders of th'
management.

He who owns his home and sits un-

Iion (Ohio) Lodge No. go, B. P. O.
Elks.
In 1922, Elkdom, with gifts to chart
ty already totalling more than $780,
100000, stepped out of the role of the
purely fraternal organization into the
rank of one OF Americas greatest
humanitarian brotherhoods.
William w Mountain, of Toledo,
Ohio, Grand Exalted Ruler of the or
der, announced his policy:
Make every Elk lodge the civic
and humanitarian center of the COM
munity in which it makes it's home
In Chicago, by Lincoln Park, over
looking Lake Michigan, the Elks are
building their $3,OO0,OOO National Me-
mortal to the 10000 Elks who served
the United States in the World War,
and the more than 1000 Elks who died
in that service The building will also
house the orders central executive or
ganization, and the National Elks
magazine.
Only men of 81 years or more, Amer
lean citizens, are eligible to member
ship.
"The faults of our brothers we
write upon the sands-their virtues
upon the tablets of love and memory
is Elkdom's motto.
The four cardinal principles of the
order are Charity-Justice- Brother
ly Love-Fidelity"
Il guess we built little better than
We knew" says old joe Norcross,
only surviving charter member.
And from the Great Beyond, where
those long-dead Jolly Corks" look
down upon this earth, they probably
agree with him.
The Ocala lodge now has 145 mem
bers and is rapidly growing.
Ocala lodge No. 286 was granted
its charter on July 23rd, 1903, and
had amongst its charter members

FROM JOLLY CORKS TO BENEVOLENT
AND PROTECTIVE ORDER OF ELKs

builded.
His body rests today in Mount Hope
cemetery, Boston, Mass, beneath a
great granite boulder bearing bronze
plate with the inscription:
Charles Algernon Sidney Vivian.
Founder of the order of EIks. Died
March 20, 1880. Aged Sd years. A
lover of his kind, who founded a
great order and in doing so wrought
much good"
Vivian, who was the presiding "Jol-
ly Cork" at the momentous meeting
in 1868 when the fourteen men voted
to organize under the. name of "Elks, .
died in Leadville, Colo, after life
of theatrical vicissitudes that ranged
from touring in affluence at the head
of his own company, to being stranded
penniless in Denver There in Lead

cd only by a weather-strained pine
board on which an inscription was
scratched with some sharp instrument,
until on April %, 1889, Boston lodge
No. 10, B. P. o. Elks, exhumed the
body, took it to Boston, and buried it
there with splendid ceremonial.

memories of the few surviving "old-
timers is the history of the Jolly
Corks held intact. And only one

their initiation ceremony. 4 A group OF

was assessed fifty cents. This was
taken by Charles Vivian, and entered
in pocket memorandum book. Each

cork from his pocket.
The bar-keeper supplied the candi-
date with new cork. The men lined
up in front of the now-extinct Aneri-

in front of him on the bar. To the cam
didate it was explained that at the

f. = three!" called by the ruling Cork,
the last man to lift his cork from
the bar was stuck for the drinks
The signal would be called. The
Jolly Corks, all initiates, would simply
cup their hands over their corks and
leave the corks on the bar. The can
didate, with a swift swoop, always
would be the first man to lift his cork.
He would also be the last man to lift
his cork. For he would be the only
man to lift his cork. He bought the
drinks.
