line of tho organization. We propose to hold
yearly encampments of week or ton days da

emit, To do this we nesd help or rather tho CO.
poratiOn,o other localities In the state through
the organisation Of similar associations. and
the encouragement Of speakers that they may

meetings. The expense is Que Of the chief
difficulties to be met by such an institution.
Able speakers cannot afford to spend their time
gratuitously. It is believed thas several asso
Citations can obtain better talent by sharing In
the cost than can be obtained BY one alone.
To this end We invite the CO. operation of the
various county alliances and others interested,
in the various parts of the state So far We
have been quite successful in raising funds ~

Merry 10. rounds, refreshmsnt stands, bowery,

speakers and paying them. We invite c0rres-
