her welcome guests the Patriotic Order
Sons OF. America, she has donned the
finest her wardrobe provides, and the
beautifully. colored gown justly be-
comes her. !. So attractive is the popu-

OF the visitors experienced that Glove

that she waited to welcome them with
outstretched arms, ~ ~.
The officers and members of the. or
ganlzatlon are favorably impressed
witn the welcome given them here.
When they alighted from the trains
they knew that the city was theirs, as
well as an attachment on the residents
SO far as entertainment was concerned.
The first sight to greet their eyes was
a sign, Welcome, Patriotic, Sons of
America, - E n .~
The business men and many citizens
have done their best to make the Sons
feel at home. They have not spared
trouble or expense to make their bust
ness houses and residences attractive
and the praise which is forthcoming
from cur guests is partially, at least
deserved.
The stores presented an especially
pretty scene last night when the parade
was in progress The exterior and dis
play window decorations were shown
off to great advantage by electric lights
and the reflection of red fire.
The Daylight store, Walter S. Cum
mings Co., had an electrical sign,
Welcome, P. O. S. of A. which at
tracted the attention of every one who
passed within the range of vision. The

Best Looking Son.

The honors of being the best looking
delegate go to George W. Rogers, of
Palmyra. He is the Son who swallow

Because of his daring ride in the
soap box turnout with the parade, Mr..
Rogers has been named faker Quaker

doesen't t like the name because the
mule was On the wagon instead of in
