auditorium and have selected Col. L.
g. Hunt to preside at that meeting.

fy, who received the Oriental degree
by the aforesaid brethren.
The days program will start at 80

different contests will take place. This
will be followed by the final ball game
between the winners of the morning
games, and the prize is a fine large
silk American flag. All four teams
are confident that they will win out
and the friendly rivalry between
them is certainly stirring things up
The Hiawatha park association has
granted the free use of the park base

The committee has arranged for the
use of a room where baskets, wraps
etc, will be checked free of charge
