Probably the most popular story told

it, and but few of them failed to re-
peat it. Really, the story is an interest

and this is probably why it was so
popular with the old soldiers. OF course
there was no rancor, no bitterness in
the telling of the tale. but the fact

the vegetables is the finest component
of the ration ever put into the hands
of troops. II will take the place of
fresh beef when the latter cannot be
supplied for some time, and with the

ration for hikes ever put into the

time he used the English army rations
(beef stew and potatoes) in 2-pound
cans. which gave satisfaction, but does
not compare to the beef stew issue of
the United States army rations. Anoth-

The streets OF Cleveland, both for
residence and business, are exception
ally broad and well paved The busi-
ness center Is at public square and
the important streets radiating from
the square constitute part of the line Of
march of all the city's parades. When
ever there is public demonstration
the square and adjoining streets are
crowded with people. The square on

which the Grand Army officials and
other notables will review the process

huge grandstand In the square for the
delegates and others, and doubtless the
chorus of school children will also
have accommodation on a stand to be
located in the Public square. James

ing Commission. has been appointed
chairman of the committee on grand
stands. He and Arthur Bradley, whose
committee on decorations is planning
to make the square especially beautiful
by night and day, will work together in
making this central point of the city
attractive to the visitors. So far as the
crowds are concerned, it is safe to say
even at this early day that the at
tendance at the thirty-fifth encamp-
ment will exceed that of any other in
the history of the Grand Army. Forty
eight per cent of the population of
the United States is within 500 miles
of Cleveland, and the large proportion
of the Grand Army is to be found in
Ohio, New York. Michigan, Pennsyl-
