New Elks Lodge
The Grand Exalted Kuler of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks having granted a dispensation for a lodge in thia village and about one hundred applications having been re¬ ceived, institution will occur Saturday afternoon and evening at Mechanics' Hall on Kailroad Avenue. Wm, P. Philips, of New Y'ork, lepresenting the District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler, and staff will do the work of insti¬ tuting the new lodge. There will be a number of visiting Elka from New Y'ork, Brooklyn and other places. The local lodge will meet the Deputy and staff with a band of music and accord them a beiitting reception and bancjuet.
Invitations are extended to all Elks on Long I.-^land to attend.
This will be a big event for Free¬ iiort, as this is the tirst Elks Lodge to he instituted on Long Island.
Several other villages were after the necessary dispensation to establish the lodge, but as usual when Freeport goes after a thing we got it.
In honor of the visitors, business men are invited to decorate their places iind a professional decorator will prob¬ ably he in town on Saturday.
A remarkable feature of this event is the starting with over IdO cha»ter members, whfch the Grand l.odue olh- cera considered an exceiiticnally large number for a place the size of Free- port. A healthy growth for the new lodge is anticipated as its territory in¬ cludes all of Long Island outside of Brooklyn,

Bussing's ankle was sprained and his arm hruisco.

The radiator was smashed, the front axle wrenched and the steering gear put out of commission.
OBITUAKY CLIFFORD PEARSALL. Clifford, the 2 year old son of .Mr, and .Mrs. Alva J. Pearsall of Russell Park, died Friday night from ptomaine poisoning.

His brother, Al¬ va, jr., was also atTccted from the same cause, but recovered promptly. Funeral services were held Sunday af¬ ternoon, Rev. W. W. W. Wilson of DcKalb   Avenue    Church,    Brooklyn,
Local Topics
Just to show what a variety in our newspaper work, I publish this item. It IS against our rule to run an item without the signature cf the con¬ tributor, but 1 guess it will not hurt anybody, so here it is:

Any of our readers who wish to re¬ ceive notice as soon as taxes are pay¬ able,' or to have their attention espe¬ cially called to it, are invited to write us to that effect, and we will . place their names on our special tax list.
A reader asks us if a man while en¬ gaged in catching dogs without license tags on, has any right to atiuse the animal, as in a recent case, where one of the dog catchers dragged a dog through our Main Street hy the tail. I would emphatically reply that it does not, and it would be the duty of any citizen to swear out a complaint for cruelty to animals on any such occa¬ sion. The fact of the man being en¬ gaged in catching dogs does nol give hiiii the privilege of treating the ani¬ mal in a cruel manner. I did not see this ease myself, but if I had I surely would have telephoned to the Chief of Police, under whose jurisdiction this matter comes. This man was a . stranger in the village.
A fisherman whu read the article in our last issue about the menhaden lish factory,   sends nie the following   note.
The item about the nianhaden fac¬ tory is a good descriptive one, but you would probably lind that the (i:-hermen in that section were very much oii- poKid to it coming. While these places claim to takp iiolhiiiK hut men¬ haden or liunkers, they are often known to make a haul where there is r.othinjr but bluelish or weuklish in sight, he- sides most of the time getting a lot when they are making a legitimate haul for menhaden, but they all go the same way. and where there are not enough of one kind they won't stop until they fill up on weaks and blues.

CARD OF THANKS,
To those who were   with   us   in   our
bereavement   and by kind   words   and
kindly   acts, have   tried to lessen   our
sorrow, we extend our sincere thanks.
Mr, and Mrs. Alva J. Pearsall.
Mrs. E. L. Watkins and daugiiter Lucy have been apending a fortnight at Pine Bush, in the Catskills.
Miaa Minnie Willets haa been spend¬ ing a few daya with friends at Flush¬ ing.
There will be a recital of humorous and dramatic i onologues and scenes by John de Persia at the Crystal Lake Hotel Friday evening, this week, at 8:15, Mr. Persia was formerly with Miss Margaret Wycherly at tbe Madi¬ son Square and Hudson theatres of j Ixew York. He Is also a lecturer on the staff of the New York Board of Elducation.
The suggestion of Counselor Leo Fishel that a name should he fi.xed for the new boulevard is an excellent one. The name of new Boulevard now usetl is confusing, being so much like Newton Boulevard, The Board of Trustees will take up the inatter at an early meeting.
At the meeting of the Village Board Friday evening, one of the trustee.-^ raised the question a.s to the right of the majority of the truntees, outside of a meeting, to decided that Ocean Ave¬ nue should he paved 20 feet wide in¬ stead uf ll), a.- ure the rest (if the road.'^ which are being ini[iroved, ana he ck- presaed the opinion that the taxpayers would not favor this proposition. I will venture to predict that if the plan favored by some of the nicn-ihera is carried to buy a steam roller for $:5,5<iii • they call it leasing), it will takea great deal longer to convince the tax¬ payers that it was not a waste of mon¬ ey, than if it were the question of the wider street to Ocean Avenue at a po-i- sible expense of two or three hundred dollars.
As   Trustee   Sigmond   said.   Ocean
I Avenue is one of our few wide resi¬ dential streets, end certainly 2(1 feet is narrow enough for permanent im¬ provements there. I think Mr, Betzig voiced the sentiment of the taxpayers quite generally when he told the Board that he thought an exceptionally wide road on Ocean Avenue was perfectly proper, and that a narrow road bed would be out of piace there. Like Mr. Betzig, I have no property interest on 0«ean Avenue, but I think it would have been a big mistake to put down a
: 16 foot road on that thoroughfare. This refers to the asction of the street from Merrick Road south to Atlantic Avenue.
The editor acknowledges his thanks to James A. Stiles of Bellmore for one dozen pears and a big bag of apples, left at our houae.
The Brooklyn Eagle Sunday pub¬ lished a page article on "New Growth at Rockville (.'entre, Baldwin and Frei- port," It is the best on these placea I have seen written and is line adver¬ tising for the villages. It is not, an usual with such items, a history, but showa the village's advancement, and contains picture.^ not before printed.

Water Carnival
The illuminated water carnival of the South Shore Yacht Club Saturday evening waa a good succesB. Several hundred persona witnessen the parade of the dozen boats participating in the carnival. Illuminations and decora¬ tions at the various water resorts on Woodcleft Channel and Randall's Bay were brilliant and handsome. James IL Cruikshank, owner of The Idler, had hie dock beautifully iKutninated, a hand of muaic stationed on it and gave a line display of lirework-i as the pag¬ eant paised. The beats started from opposite Eilisoii'a at the nmuth of Woodcleft Chanrn-l, and disbanded a short distance heyond the yacht club house, after manaeuvering in front of it.
Arthur Nnsworthy, nwner of The Roxie, was awarded tirst prize and Walter J. Moore, owner of the Flor¬ ence, second. Hoih had their boats il¬ luminated and decorated handsomely. Dancing at the club house followed the carnival, and prcved very enjoyable to the large number who participated.
