.AT
Aftar hours ot brotherly content
nd onjoymont In which was mixed
muoh ontiment, humor, near-humor
' and general good fcolfng, with not a
. dlacordant feature In sight except the
dress suits worn by the past pxalted
rulers, the Medford Eiks had to go
end crab everything late last night,
and right In the. presence, too, of
their many Ashland guests of honor.
- Besides It being past exalted rulers
night It was also hair-lip nnd crab
night, the star feature ot the social
session being hair-lip stories and the
piece do reslstnnca ot tho banquet
being an abundant supply of fresh
sea crabs.
Just why tiie past exalted rulers
ot the lodge should appear in full
dress suits, which no doubt are hired
1 for the occasion from local clothing
tores, puzzles the vast majority of
members Ojf tho lodge, except that the
former head guys are. following a
foolish custom started years ago.
These full dress suits mar the plea
euro of an otherwise perfect day.
Colonel Kelly who was acting as
- chairman of the social session voiced
the sentiments of tho lodge when he
was asked to fine tous 'Newbury and
T. E. Daniels, the only past exalted
rulers not in dress suits, by saying.
"I haven't the heart to do It Tor 1
wouldn't wear one of the darn things
myself."
Conspicuous features of the social
session were the felicitations of
Grandpa Brown, tho speech of Ver
non Vawter In accepting the nomina
tion for re-election as treasurer, and
the addresses of C. V. Carter, Prof.
Irving Vinlng and Exa'.led Ruler Xin
Inger of tho Ashland delegation.
A sublime exhibition of botherly
feeling and the absolute confidence
and trust df the local Elks la the
fairness ot the Ashland Elks was
seen when the large delegation of
visitors was given a five-minutes
start 16 the banquet room before the
hungry Medford bunch, numbering
hundreds, wended their way to the
festal board. This trust was not mis
placed, for It developed there was
plenty for all. - -

12 th. t Nv
Irvin S. Cobb is an American who
needs no introduction. Ho is as much
a national institution as' pumpkin
pie. baseball, cbautauquas and the
Fourth of July.
Xew. York tried to localize him.
but It couldn't. He's as big as all
outdoors, and In all' he writes anu
says and does reflects unerringly the
American spirit. .
He's a native ot Padncnh, Ken
tucky. The best description of him
'. set down by his friend, Hobert 11.
Davis who, without knowing to whom
ho was speaking, asked Cobb what
kind of a person this Irvin Cobb was.
"Well, to be perfectly frank with
you," replied the Paducah prodigy,
"Cobb Is related to my wife by mar
riage, and It you don't object to a
brief sketch, with all the technical
ities eliminated, I should say that' In
appearance he is rather bulky, stand
ing six feet high, not especially beau
tiful, a light roan In color with a
black mane. Ills figure Is undecided.
but might bo called bunchy lu places.
Ho belongs to Bevora! clubs, includ
ing tho Yonkora Pressing club ami
tho Park Hill liemocratlc Marching
club, and has always, like his fa'her,
who was a confederate soldier, vote I
the democratic ticket.. Ho has had
one wife and ono child tind still has
them, lii-rclllon he Is an Innocent
Bystander." Could anything be ful
ler than this?
Early tu January Mr. Cobb sailed
for Europe to make a personal visit
to tho fighting front in France and
Flanders, reporting war conditions
for the Saturday Evening Post. His
articles written for this publication
In tho early days of tjie war, detail
ing his experiences in Belgium, mark
ed a new era in war reporting, and
established Mr. Cobb as ono ot the
keenest observers in tho world. Cobb
talks as ho writes, in plain, under
standable United States English, and
presents facts with a humor, distinct
ively his own.
Tho lecture will begin at 7:. 10. Box
