ing. OF course It will depend largely
on the interest taken by the postmast'
ers OF the State whether our meeting

q very few think II necessary or worth
their while to make a little extra ct.
fort or sacrifice In order to attend. the
meeting will not be such grand sue
cess as II otherwise will be II every
postmaster OF fourth class office will
make an effort to be there.

Grange ideas and listen to those who
are qualified to instruct and advise
