IF this be true, words will fail to press the

Now, il Saginaw is directly above rs, we do
not propose to be kept under. Beers Corps,

a committee of three, Anna s. Hanley Anna
B. Smith, and Jeanette yelling were appointed
to inaugurate the work. We have as witness
two flags raised high in the air. poles and ALL
and the Post took part with US. At the last
school the President and Secretary actually
pulled on the ropes, doing our full duty.
We have six more schools practicing the
salute, and we propose to see flag planted
beside every school-honse within our range
when school opens next term.
By the way, if Past President Daily and
Hanley attend National Encampment at Pitts
burg they should meet and shake hands. Both
have been true to their Corps; the only differ
ence is that Corps 60 was organized 10 years
earlier than Corps III.

graves were tenderly remembered Memorial
Day, the Corps rendering them all assistance
in their power.
