"The committee on time and place meets the first day of this year's convention at Richmond, Va„ June 2-6-7 and makes a report on the final day.

Elks Will Not Devour Elk —It Still Is Alive AN Elk will not eat an elk. Especially a live elk. And here's - how. Recently in an up-State newspaper there appeared an item: "Mancie, Ind.—Susie, lone elk in McCullough Park, died here today before a firing squad. The body was taken to a storage plant, where it was prepared for use at a dinner to be held by the local Elks lodge." The Fraternal Editor of The Indianapolis Times, sensing a news story of greater proportions, wrote to J. Frank Mann, secretary of the Muncie Elks Club, for further information on the banquet. The next mail brought a letter from Mann. "The death of the elk was slightly exaggerated. She still lives," the letter stated. "The report is still further exaggerated because we do not. expect to cat her. In fact, we will not even bite her.” And that, my good fellow, settles that.
