the rain which fell at intervals dur

two days session this morning
Above all else the number and I'M

local Chamber of Commerce is elo-
quent testimony of the widespread
interest which the problems under
discussion have aroused. and also of
the hearty spirit of harmony prevail

their wives and friends, had arrived
