a ELKDON READY FOR BIGGEST SESSION Chicago Loop District To Be Trans- formed Into Great White Way for 300,000 Visitors The loop district will be transform- ed into a grand panorama of color and gayety late this week with the influx of a herd of some 300,000 Elks. A whirlwind windup of arrange- ments for taking care of this army ill be made during the next four and, according to members of e convention executive committee, fything will be in readiness for aries of the sporting carnival. he "Raise $150,000 Fund A final appeal to business men to aid in the subscribing of a $150,000 fund necessary to successfully con- duct the biggest gathering the Elks have ever held was sent out by William J. Sinek, Exalted Ruler of the Chicago lodge. Mr. Sinek announced that late re- ports from the flying squadron, head- ed by Harry Berg, brought the total already subscribed to more than $100,000 and that the remaining $50, 000 "must be raised by Thursday." Dr. Robert A. Smith, general chairman of the executive commit- tee in charge of convention arrange- ments, has received reports which clearly indicate that the number of visitors will approach mark. The vanguard of this army will begin arriving Wednesday and by Friday the entire business district will be swathed in the I'lks' colors, royal purple and white. Protect Visitors Careful plans for handling the visitors has been made. The Hotel Bureau of the Chicago Association of Commerce has arranged for more than15,000rooms in private dwellings. Frank Bering, manager of the hotel Sherman, who is chairman of the committee in charge of accommoda- tions, says that through this method all visitors will be properly cared for. There will be no "gouging" or rofiteering during the convention, or a committee will be appointed to investigate all complaints against proprietors of hotels, restaurants and other places of accommodation. Harry Beals, chairman of the Floats committee, announced that practically all of the $60,000 worth of floats have heen completed. The * pageant will be a pictorial review of American history. The floats will be arranged in the order in which "the states they represent were ad- mitted to the union. The Massachus- etts float will depict the landing of the Pilgrim fathers. This is the largest float ever constructed, meas- uring eighty fet. The Lima, Ohio, lodge has one of the most pictures- que floats. Tt is called "Golden Hour of Childhood" and depicts the dreams and joys of the child mind. Floats of thirty-four other states show the western movement of civilization, the hardships suffered through Indian wars, the slow development of the natural resources and the wealth of the great western stretches today. Great Athletic Program The athletic program directed by Col. John V. Clinnin, will pass ex- pectations. An invitation has been issued to the winners of Olympic trials for an invitation meet with winners of the big Elks tournament. Gold medals are offered, one for the 100, one for the 440 and one for the 880 yard run. In the big roundup, or cowboy carnival, prizes totaling $27,000 have been offered. COWS REFUSE LIQUOR; MILK SUPPLY SHORT rr Cadiz, Ohio--Cows in this vicinity have "gone dry". Prohibition is blamed. Due to the dry amendment to the state and federal constitution, sev- eral hundred gallons of wine, con- fiscated by dry enforcement officers from illegal possessors, were dumped into a sewer not long ago. The intoxicating beverage ran into a creek which runs through a num- ber of pasture fields. "As a result of the cows refusing to drink the "spiked" water, there now exists a shortage in the milk supply around here. "Americans don't bite the hand that is feeding them."
