ly, but with only partial success. The

is inadequate TO provide a suitable en-
tcrtainment for tho Juniata Valley

will be continued Monday by the chair
man, and Messrs. i. B. Ludwig and
George w. Ramsay, who have kindly
volunteered to assist him.

| is desired to take the visitors TO tho now
industrial plants in the western part Of

be prompt and aid tho committee with
the lib, rality which has heretofore
characterized them.
