 Would Protect Elks
 The Benevolent and Protective Or der of Elks, No. 987. have adopted resolutions for the protection of all live elks now existing in the United States The resolutions were drawn up by E. A. Warnick, secretary of the local lodge. who is a member of the American Game Protective asso- citation and who has always taken much interest in outdoor life and the protection of wild game.
 The resolutions follow:

 Whereas. we as members of our great organization, love and revere the elk in all it's cunning and elusive ness as it roams in freedom and wildness on the untitled plains of these grand and glorious domains Of ours; and,
 Whereas, we as Elks. who are re- garded as the kings of good fel- lows" and who are taught to prac- tice above all else charity. justice and brotherfy love to all mankind. should extend that justice and protection to the dumb animal that means most to us, that king of the western wilds, the American elk; and,
 Whereas, each year in the United States there Is a great number of wild elk killed in murderous, shame fuI and unsportsmanlike manner merely for the small commercial value of their teeth, thereby wasting several hundred pounds of meat, and co onsequently diminishing the elks of our country; and,
 Whereas, this practice is wrong and very repugnant to all true sportsmen, and if continued will, before many years, extenguish the few remaining elks: therefore, be 1t

 Resolved, That copy of these res olutions be sent to each subordinate lodge in the United States, with request that it adopt the same, and that all delegates to the next meet ing of the grand lodge be instructed to work for the passage of this res olution or a similar one in the grand lodge of the United States.
