program that furnishes attractions
for all the Panhandle.

expressly invited and all the PAN
handlers who can get TO Amarillo
are urged TO come on that day As the

tho lead In the plans for the day,
they are making special pains to get
representatives from every camp Of
Woodmen In the Panhandle, but the
celebration is an Amarillo affair, and
every citizen man, woman, and child,
wether Woodmen or not, is going

At Glenwood, the official head
quarters OF the celebration an inn
mense picnic pavilion will be erect

to say that never before in the PAN
handle will such barbecue have
been given. The attractions In Glen
