GREAT GROWTH OF BLKS LODGE 1S DESCRIBED Formed Fifty-four Years Ago, Lodge Has Grown to Front Rank in America STORY OF ITS INCEPTION The dawn 2 marked an anniversary of keen in- terest to nearly 1,000,000 American} men. . Fifty-four years ago—on Febru-/ ary 16, 1868—a little group of four-! teen men sat in a stuffy room in New York City.. Twice they voted on a; matter they had been debating for; weeks, On the second ballot, the now; zimost-forgotten fraternal order of; the “Jolly Corks” was disbanded. And the Benevolent and Protective Order af Elks was born, { The first membership report in the} archives of the Biks is dated Decem-| per 27, 1868.

The build- ing will also house the Order’s cen- tral executive organization, and the National Elks’ Magazine. Only men of 21. years or more, American citizens, are eligible to membership. “The faults of our brothers we write upon the sands—their virtues upon the tablets of love and memory,” is Elkdom’s motto. The four cardinal principles of the Order are “Charity—Justice—Broth- erly Love—Fidelity.” “T guess we built a little better than we knew,” says old “Joe” Norcross, only surviving charter member. And from the Great Beyond where those long-dead “Jolly Corks” look down upon this earth. they probably agree with him. PEASANTS OF VOLGA REGION T0 BE CORN-FED American Relief Association Rushing Much Corn To Famine Area Samara, Feb. 17.—It will be a new experience for the peasants of the Volga area to be corn-fed when tue famine supplies from America arrive there. While Indian corn has beea generally used for bread and cassia in thé Ukraine, which is as much of a corn country as Indiana or Iowa, the Volga area has confined its cultivation chiefly to small grain. It has short seasons and less precipitation than ideal corn country. So the peasants know little about corn meal and the art of making corn bread, hominy, and cornmeal mush. When it became known that the American Relief Administration would send large quantities of corn through the Black Sea for the immedi- ate relief of the famine, Soviet offi- cials in the Moscow food administra- tion wired to all fficials along the Volga urging them to be prepared to instruct the peasants in the use of the strange grain. Plans were made to rush it immedi- ately to Rostoff-on-Don and thence to famine relief central stations in the Southern Volga area and into the Interesting glimpes of India and the difficult situation mow being. faced there by Great Britain’s administra: tion were given by members of the Roosevelt Brotherhood of the First Baptist church following a dinner in the church basement last night by Dr. Samuel Bawden, of the American Bap- tist Missions, who has spent 17 years in India. , Dr. Bawden addressed an audience in the church auditorium on the sub- ject of missionary work in India, fol- lowing the dinner, Rev. E. Weizel, educational director of the Baptist church for ‘North Dakota, spoke at the dinner and at the general meeting on the work of the church generally. Some of Great Britain’s troubles in the administration of India are trace- able to German propaganda during the war, the war reaction and chiefly 19 the effort of the British to give the Indians self-government under extra- ordinary conditions, Dr. Bawden said. Anarchy Would Follow There is no question, he said, but that if Great Britain were to with- draw from India anarchy would fol- low. ‘He described the British sys- tem of government. To make the In- dians ready for.a measure of self- government the British first placed a minority of Indians on legislative and other councils, he said. The theory was that they would have an oppor- tunity to learn methods of adminis- tration and government and be in po- sition to take up the reigns of self- government eventually. The theory did not work, he said. The minority became destructive instead of con- structive. They complained of every- thing the government did, and did not take the opportunity to learn or to advocate qonstructive measures. In December, 1920, the British an- tended to give greater measure of self-government to the Indians. Prob- lems rose to make the situation more difficult. Indians had been sent to South Africa and the South African colonists objected to them. The Indi- ans objected to the splitting up of Turkey by the allied powers and blamed Great Britain. Then General Dyer ordered his small band of sol- Is That Cold and “ Cough Hanging On?

India became a country seething with discontent. The theory of non- cooperation was evolved. Under it the Indians were to refuse to obey the laws, participate in government,. or “p anything the government wished, the theory being that the British would be driven out and the Indians would rule the country. Indians were counseled to use no violence. The advocacy of disrespect of law, how- ever, has led to violence and the situ- ation is growing more difficult, Dr. Bawden said. Sketches Peculiar Conditions Sketching the peculiar conditions to be faced in India, he said that in a territory half as large as the United States there is three times the popu- lation. There are 147 languages used in the country, several religions and the caste system. The British gov- ernment, he said, had made a practice of enforcing law according to the re- ligious law of the offender, thus en- forcing Christian law for Christians and Hindu law for the Hindus, Many Indians are breaking away from the age-old belief in the caste system, he said. The result of this breaking away from the ancestral re- ligion is that many become agnostics or atheists. It is {0 great a jump for them to accept Christianity.
