We hope you will tell your people II

This excursion was brought to the
attention of the Business Mems Asso-

day night and it was decided to hold a
special meeting the evening of the 18th
to arrange a suitable reception and
program. Just what plan will be
adopted to show our appreciation of
the proposed friendly call will not be
decided until that time and in the
meantime it will be well for the men,
bers to think out different plans. The
old saying that 1.-TWO heads are better

to do something to impress Delta and

minds of our visitors.
