monument or something of the kind.

state meeting of the d. A. r. which

doubtless a petition will be presented
to the legislature for an appropriation
for the same.
A committee was appointed to con-

what the D. A. r. can best do TO help
IN welcoming the Twentieth; they will,

patriotic Organization, they wish to do
something more.
Some revisiOns were made in the
constitution and committees appointed.
On December 9th an all day meeting
or the state D. A. r. and the regents
of the surrounding states will be held
