dates are made the same for both
meetings the Knights can avail them
selves of the G. A r. rate of one cent

and return home within the time pre-
scribed in the Grand Army agreement
Those who wish to remain here longer
can buy their tickets under the Knights
Of Pythias agreement, and at the fare
and third rate stay the thirty-day
limit. On the other hand, those of the
Grand Army men who wish to stay
longer than the seven-day limit can.
by using the Knights rate of one and
third fare, avail themselves of the
knights time limit of thirty days
Tickets f0l both meetings read good
to either 81. Paul or MINNEAPOLIS.
