Then Mr. Morris Weeloeky, represent ing the Elks, proposed that if the Fair Association would release to that order the oarnlval or amusement feature and at the same time give over to It the con trol and proceeds of ’all the privileges to be sold, the Elks would undi carry the OWBiYBl fOfttW* through ont calling on the basinet* men for skb- Boriptions.

The association has sufficient money in the treasury to meet the premium list, and the payment of all premiums is therefore assured.
