On the back of the programs is the Elks' creed; "The faults of our brothers we write upon the sands, their virtues upon tablets of loving memory." And this beautiful little piece of sentiment is also on the back of the Inside cover of the program. "Oh, for the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still." The program, which is from the shop of the Inland Press, is one of the handsomest yet gotten out for the Elks' Lodge of Sorrow. On the front cover an Elk, in relief, with the clock, which is the symbol of the order, just to the left of the elk and appearing to be : rising over the precipice on which the elk is stand ing. Under the elk, the words, "Elks' Memorial Service," and just above the words, "Our Absent Brothers," are in raised letters. There are four inside pages containing the program, and the program is bound in a deep purple ribbon, the royal color of mourning.

OF CATTLE IN STATE HEAVY In 1910 Cattle Averaged 23 Per 1000 Acres in State of North Carolina. A Dangerous Subject. Professor Henry Drummoml when a boy discovered that he could hypnotize people. At u birthday party a littlt girl declined to play the pl.ino. Drum mond happened to cntch her eye and said, "Play." To his surprise she rosi at once, went to the piano and played At another time be hypnotized a boy and gave blni a poker for n gun "Now," said Drummond, "I'm n pliens ant. Shoot me." The boy did so, and Drummond fell to keep up the illusion whereupon the boy. seeing the "bird" more, was about to hit it over the head with the poker. The hypnotlzer had Just time to stop the magnetized sports man. Pearson's Weekly. Seamstresses 45c per day. in North Carolina had 360.000 fewer cattle in the census year than in 1SD0, according to a statement in the Uni versity News letter. While the popu lation multiplied two and one-half times the beef supply decreased nearly one-third. Upon the basis of total landed area the cattle in North Caro lina in 1910 averaged only 23 per 1001 acres. Tn North Carolina are 22,000.000 acres of land of the total of 200,000, 000 in the south. "It looks like a cap ital chance for southern farmers," says the Letter. "When they can turn beef cattle into Instant ready cash at a profit they will go Into the produc tion of meat In some adequate whole sale way and not sooner. Whenever has it been otherwise? "We need stockbreeders' associa tions, and big beef bulls in abundance. And we need to get rid of the cattle tick.- The railroads need to tempt the farmers with arransements. conven iences, facolities and rates for hand ling live stock shipments. More live stock markets are needed within pos sible reach of the . farmers. Local butchTing, packing and refrigerating are necessary. They need to be sani tary and modern in every particular. Well managed city markets are lndis-pensible. "Here are problems for city boards of trade far more important than se curing another industrial enterprise or two. The growth and prosperity of cities depend upon their being centers of well developed food-producing re gions. The business people in the cit ies must help solve the problems of the farmers in the surrounding terri tories and they must soon do it In sheer self defense." A Costly Funerai.
