New Elks Magazine
Makes Its Debut
With June Number

The first issue Of a new monthly
periodical, The Elks Magazine, has
just made its appearance. A National
Publication of the Elks, published
under the direction of the Elks Ma
tional Memorial Headquarters Conn
mission, the magazine begins the
career with subscription circulation
of $4,000.
The Elks Magazine is intended to
inspire and promote that spirit Of
unity which is the motive force of
every fraternity.
Beginning with a letter of God
speed from President Harding who,
is an Elk, and a message from Wal
liam w. Mountain, Grand Exalted
Ruler, to the Order at large, the first
number swings into fiction and timely
articles, followed by features which,
though designed for Elk consumption,
are scarcely less interesting to the
outside reader.
From the cover painting, a Flag
Day subject, right through the mag
azine, one notes strong infusion Of
the spirit Of patriotism which is an
integral part Of the Elk creed. The
general material that helps to diff
ferentiate this magazine from other
fraternal publications all bears well
known signatures. Among the CON
tributors are Charles NJ. Schwab, Ber
Ames williams, Albert Payson Ter
hume, William Almon Wolff ant
others. The whole magazine is Law
ishly illustrated.
Fer fifty-four years the Order o.
Elks has stood for all that is best y
our National life. It's growth has
lbeen steady and substantial and hal
made IL asteadily increasing influence
for good.

. SEMINARY
GROUP IS NOW
BEING FORMED

Since, the formation of the Hardin
Club last week when more than one
hundred attended meeting for its
perfection, it has been thought adj
yisable to form Seminary Group.
This group will consist of all those
who were students of the Seminary
before it was purchased by Governor
Hardin and changed to Hardin Col
lege.
When first established, The Mexico
Christian Female Seminary, was, as
the name implys, school for girls.
But during the civil war and just af-
terwards it was impossible to get
enough girls to fill it, so boys were
also taken.
Thus there are number OF men
who are eligible to membership in
the Seminary Group and I'd Gamble
has been the first Of these to pledge
lis support and heads this list.
Every other former student OF the
Seminary is asked to become mem
ber. The fee will be $1.OO a year and
the funds raised will go towards pre-
serving the old Seminary building.

Martin 7. Myers
Sues Utilities Co.
For $4,000

f
Martin t. Myers has filed suit in
Circuit Court against the Missouri
Utilities Company claiming damages
of $4,000 from an accident at his
cleaning plant in June, 1920.
1t is claimed that the explosion in
the drying room" was caused by a
defect of the exhaust fan which drew
off the gasoline fumes and enabled
the clothers to be dried much more
quickly. When starting the fan, the
complaint says, sparks ignited the
fumes doing considerable damage to
the plant and injuring Mr.. Myers for
life.
The Missouri Utilities Company
carries insurance to protect them
against liability in all accidents.
