believe that the usefulness of a per
son was stopped by ape, hut should
continue on until the person had ac
complished their pood for the world.
County Judge Beeson, who took up
the toast, "That Reminds Me." was.
'ias usual, in a bright and sparklinp
vein of humor, and his stories served
to keep everyone laughing as he relat
ed them. hut this did not confine his
speech, as he paid a most glowinp
trlbnte in closing to the American
ration arid to the American horn-,
uheie, as the speaker stated, the

Th.e closing ceremonies by the lodpe
were followed by the benediction

standing while th.e members of the
order marched out of the theater.
This is one of the most notable
events in the history of the Elks lodge
in this city and one that brings to the
eyes of the public a little of the great
fraternalism that permits the life
of the Elks order and brings the mem
bers into prent communion where
their priefs and joys are shared alike
and as the order has adopted the
motto. "The faults of our brothers we
write upon the sands their virtues
upon the tablets of love and mem
ory," the members each year join in
th.e public demonstration of their un
forpotten ties that; have bound them
with the ones por.e or. before.
