THURSDAY, JULY2U920 PAGE TWO THE CAPITAL JOUKNAl- Town's Yours Bill- ave a; Heart W But H Ihe Old te$ Marshfielders Bring . Cocktails for Gang; A Sn apln Every One . Early this morning ' the special train of five Pullman sleepers rolled In from Coos Bay bearing nearly 150 members of Warshfield lodge No. 1160, B. P. O. B., all cocked and primed for the three big days of the convention. The delegation - from the coast spent the night training the crabs in the baggage car which are to ble served in special Coos Bay cocktails to the antlered brothers from over the state. Having had no sleep they figure they can go three nights more without being sooth 3d by Morpheous and are ready for any eventuality. If things do not. eventu ate fast enough the Coos Bay stunt committee has a few little tricks of Its own which will be turned loose during the dull moments. You'll Know 'Em Many other Coos county Elks are motoring In for the convention but those who arrived by rail will live In the cars while here. All the Marsh Held, brothers may be detected by a miniature double button badge" which they wear modestly showing where they are from and intimating that the next state convention will be held on Coos Bay. Since the Marshfield lodge received a unanimous compli mentary vote for the 1921 meet at the session in Klamath Falls lust year and as many of the lodges over the state have recently renewed their pledge there sems'llttl doubt but that - the herd of good fellows will seek the cooling zephyrs of Coos a year bence, ' The Marshfield lodge now has a membership of 660 scattered from the Slualaw river to the California line and they have just completed a new 180,000 temple which is the pride of the town. Preparations are being amde now for the dedication of the new temple In September and this occasion will be made a curtain raiser to the state convention next year. Portland and Eugene lodges Jiave already promised to attend th dedication with their bands and there Hill be representatives from all parts oi tne state at the southwestern Ore on metropolis for the opening "do- Frankle Leads Way At the head of the Marshfield del egation seeking the convention for 1M1, 1s Exalted Ruler Frank D.

'Hello lllll!" Ponce Had Wrong Hunch Should See Daniel Ponce de Leon was 'way off the track when he explored the trouli'a Jungles of Florida for the fountain of eternal youth. He was likewise a ew centuries ahead of time. If he "fisd lived in the 20th century instead of the 17th, and had taken a trans continental express for Oregon, In stead of sailing the Atlantic in a flow Spanish galleon, no matter how royal It might have been, he would tiave met with greater success. . if eran of the civil war, and past com mander of the G. A. R. Daniel Webster is a mere child. He has not yet arrived at his 7th birthday. But he is the oldest mem ber In the local lodge. In explanation of the extreme youth of their old est member, officials of local Elk dom offer a laudable excuse, the fact that Elks never grow old. The art of growing old is one of the features left out of their advanced system education. Instead of growing old an Elk merely advances in years, doing It with as much grace as is possible in mere man and defying the world to say that he has left his twenties. Once upon a time lodge 336 boast ed of a member who did outgrow his childhood. But he died while still in the prime of his young life, ar tli early age of 96. He was F. X. Mat thews, the last surviving member of the group of sturdy pioneers who formed the provisional government at Champoeg. The lodge officials ac count for his early demise, by stat ing that the hardships of early Ore gon life were probably too much for even the rejuvenating influence of Elkdom to have much effect.

Oregon Ekdom has never had a member who has been willing to de vote his time and efforts and money too, to its succss us this man has done. And in all Elkdom no more popular personage exists than R. Alexander or Pendleton. Friends of this man are carrying on a vigorous campaign to elevate him to the presidency of the urouuiiuiou. r anniui service as first vice president of the association for two years, say these friends should oe suruciens to bring the honor to "Alec" but in addition, these friends contend that "Alec" has all the quali- rica lions of a successful president.

Pointing out the great work which 'Elks have done In the past, telling of the activities they are engaged in at the present, and talking of the goal Vjr which Elks will always strive, Judge Harris made the principal address of the evening on "Elkdom." Elks, he declared, always are the foremost men of a community, the nroKressive, loyal, forward-moving element which makes for success. He told of the colossal part played by members of the fraternity in winning the war, of the many activities in sup port of the army, of which "Brother John J. Pershing was the head." Speaking briefly, forcefully, Mr. Al len declared that it was a pleasure to be in Salem, and said that he was very happy to receive the key to the city on behalf of all visiting Elks, and that he was positive that "the broth ers," on leaving Salem would be con vinced that it is one of the most ao lightful cities anywhere. A plea that every citizen of Salem whether or not he be an Elk make every effort to see that the visitors' stay is an enjoyable one was made by Mr. Huckestein. "When you see an Elk and you are driving, give him a lift he'll appre ciate it," Mr. Huckestein said. "Then visitors are our guests.
