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.

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.
The most costly stale funeral which
has ever taken place was perhaps thai
of Alexander the (J runt. A round mil
lion was spent In laying Alexander to
his rest The body was placed In fl
cotlin of gold tilled .with costly a ro
om tics, and a diadem was placed on
the head. The funeral cai was enibel
lished with ornaments of pure gold.
