% ANNUAL CONVENTION OF
MISS. ELKS TO MEET HERE
SUNDAY, JUNE 9 THRU JUNE II
Mommoth Parade On
Sunday; Beck, wilson, to
Oppose Miller as Ruler

The 22nd annual convention of the
Mississippi Association of the I'm
proved, Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks Of the World meets
in Jackson, Miss, June 9, 10 and IL.
From all indications it will be the
greatest meeting ever held by the
Order in the state. Every lodge and
temple will have full delegations
present for the first time in years.
Hon. James E. Kelly, of Birming-
ham, Ala, the Grand Secretary will
head the list Of prominent guests
who will be present.
The convention activities will be-
gin Sunday. June 9th with a meeting
of the Magnolia State Club of Elks
of which W. ]. Summers of Jackson
is President. This will be followed
by a parade for which extensive
preparations are being made
The annual Memorial sermon by
the state chaplain, Dr. A. D. Pur-
nell of Mound Bayou, will wind up
the Sunday preconvention activities.
On Monday, June 10, with the
opening of the convention proper,
the fire works will begin as the
Exalted Ruler of L. K. Atwood
lodge, the host lodge, vowed to get
rid of Fred Miller, who is at present
the president of the State Associa-
ton under the rules of the organi-
cation, the president must be elected
every year. For twelve years Fred
Miller has been able to gather
more support than the opposition
has been able to muster. This year
Henry Beck of Bolixi and Jim Will
son of jackson are the ones who
are most often mentioned as oppo-
sition candidates. Percy Green of
Jackson, who ran in 1916 is also
mentioned. The most active member
of the opposition is Jack Young of
jackson and it is reported he as
pires to be the compromise candi-
date of the opposition forces.
: According to a statement from a
member of the Fred Miller admin
istration, the Delta is solid for the
administration and it will have
some votes from every lodge in the
state. According to the spokesman,
the handicap of the opposition to
Fred Miller is the fact that he is so
widely known so generally liked
the opposition finds it impossible to
convince the members that they
don't know as much about Fred
Miller as those who criticise him.
Whatever happens it promises to
be a great convention from every
angle.

l8-YEAR-oLDs MUST
STILL REGISTER FOR
SELECTIVE SERVICE

Every male citizen who becomes
18 years of age is required to regis
ter under the Selective Training
and service Act of 1910, as amend
ed. There has been some doubt
in the minds of some people be-
cause of recent Congressional ac-
ton, but every male citizen must
register when he becomes Is. He is
given a registration card and a
classification card bearing the fol-
lowing typewriter notation, I'm
classified pursuant to Public Law
No. &c.,"
Colonel Long, the State Director
of Selective Service, stated that he
hoped that all such individuals
would continue to register and save
themselves some embarrassment at
later time, since they are requir-
ed to do SO by Federal statute.
