visitors who are interested in the work OF
the c. E. Union and expect to derive
considerable information from the ad-
dresses and as we'll have a most enjoy
able visit in an IDEAL little city Of homes
such as is Rocky Ford.
They found the city and its people
ready to receive and welcome the visitors.
As they stepped from the train members
4 the reception committee met them
with hearty greeting and they were
pilotsd to headquarters to be logged with
the c. E. insignia. which by-the-way is

Of red and white-the c. E. eolors-from

were taken for trip about our pretty
little town and on every side found evil

Of red and whits. banners and c. E. de-
