The Big Reunion.

The big bills for the Southwestern
Veterans annual reunion are out.
The Dodge City Reunion is attracting
more interest this year than any
other reunion to be held in the state.
The railroads recognizing the i'm
portance of the meeting have made
one fare rate. The city park fur
nishes ideal grounds for this big
meeting, plenty of shade and water,
tents for all who come, and this
year the electric light company will
run line to the park to light the
grounds. The expense of running
this line to the park will be paid
half by the Veterans association and
half by the city. Prominent men
from all over Kansas have signifed
their intention of attending the re-
union at Dodge City and the meet
ing this year will assume more near
ly state interest than ever before.
The date of the meeting is the first
week of September.-Dodge City

found is Of high standard, there are
