ELKS PROVIDE FUR
 NEEDY FAMILIES

 Day Exercises

Benevolence and charity for the living and reverence for the mem- ory of. the dead are among the fun damental principles of the Benevo- lent Protective Order of Elks, and Birmingham lodge, No. 79, is making active preparations to put these principles into effect.
 On Thanksgiving Day some 300 poor and needy families will be the recipients of the Elks bounty, when large hampers of good substantial food, including a 10-pound roast, will be distributed. This is the annual donation from the individual mem- bers of the lodge and not from the treasury, each individual going down in his pocket to provide one or more of the baskets.
 Plans for the distribution of the hampers will be made Tuesday night. It is understood from Joe Saks, chairman of the committee in food hampers made to the Elks this year are greater than in those of previous years and in order to meet this additional expenditure, the com mtttee is calling on all members, who have not sent in their annual donation, to do so at once in order that the committees may make ar engagements for meeting all the re- quests for the Elks bounty on Thanksgiving Day

The committee in charge has arranged an elaborate program for the occasion and mem- bers of the order, their families and ? friends. are cordially invited to attend.
 In this connection Thomas W. Morgan, exalted ruler of the lodge, calls attention to the fact that me- morial exercises are one of the. few Elks functions to which the public is invited. He urges all members of the lodge to be present on thiss oc- casion, and particularly the families CTS" to whose memory the exercises will be held.
 The program is singularly appro- priate for the occasion. pr. Bryan will open the exercises with prayer and close with the benediction. The orator of the day will be Thomas w. Crittenden and the eulogy will be given by Sidney J. Bowie. Miss Annie TronciIli will render vocal solos, and the choir of the church will give appropriate selections. The Elks' orchestra, under the direction of Prof. Harry Moran, will render special selections.

 The war was fought mostly on the sea, but there were land campaigns along the Canadian border, around Washington and atYNew Orleans. Amer icas fighting strength consisted of an army of about 85,000 regulars and AT 900 militiamen and voun- teers, and navy of 10000 men. The war lasted about two and one-half years, and was brought to an end by conference at Ghent in December, 1814 but so slow were the means of communica- ton that two great battles were fought before news of the peace treaty reached America. One of these was a naval battle in which the famous old higate, Constitution" captured two British men-of-war; and the other was the Battle of New Orleans, where General Andrew Jackson's milltiamen de- feated the British troops under General Packenham.
 Peace has now reigned no years between the two countries, and their trust of each other has grown so great that fnere IS nor Single lort or either nation along the whole extent of the Canadian border.
