latter part OF July instead of the pro-
posed county fourth of July celebra-
tion at this place. was practically de-
cided upon at z mass meeting held

California.
The suggestion for an apricot carni-
val was made by a committee from San

In the absence of Mayor Charles W.
Heyer, no decisive action was taken.

head Of the department Of music of
the university has been preparing

or late in May. according to an an
nOuncement made by Professor Wolfe

filled oil available dates in the Greek
theater until the close of the college
year about the middle OF May.

Dr. Wolfe this afternoon, -and we are
