German societies make elaborate
preparations each year for the cele-
bration of Christmas. Home ties and
the memories of the social gatherings
and the Christmas festivities in the
Fatherland cause to be carried out in
detail, as much as possible, the OBJ
servance of customs similar to those
of the childhood homes of the Ger
man-American citizens. In Akron the
Germans are no exceptions to their
fellow countrymen, and all of the Ak
ron societies fully intend to have
celebrations at some time during the
holidays. While the arrangements
for all Of the festivities have not yet
been completed, number of the dates
have been set, and preparations have

we passed many small islands,

sighted Mindoro, and at about
noon we entered Manila Bay. Cor

that they will visit Fowler the pre-

president OF the company stated
positively tina, it had been fully
decided to put a factory in the
Arkansas valley. This being the
case Fowler will certainly be the
fortunate point, as the advantages
she has to offer are tar superior to
those OF other points. The pros

they will indicate the character OF

This museum contains exhibits

ued, but my duly elected successor

On taking the chair, Mr.. Lilburn
thanked the Board for the honor
done him and said: II hope | will
fill the bill half as well as Mr.. Bal,

Commissioner Lilburn and Bowles
both expressed their deep regret al
parting with Mr.. Ballenger and
their sorrow that he could not con-
tinue with the board.
Next, Mr.. Lilburn announced
that the board would go into execu-
tive session and asked the public
