All Together!

The Cairo Active Travellers, an or
ganization composed of travelling
men, who live in Cairo or represent
Cairo houses, propose to hold a
Fourth Of July celebration despite
the recent food. The c. A. I. was
organized for the express purpose or
boosting Cairo and its members and
officers believe they will be abe to
10 excellent work In this regard by
holding a celebration in commenora-
ton of the nations birthday.
The Retail Merchants had planned
70 hold a monster celebration, but a
canvass for subscriptions made fol-
lowing the food did not produce
many encouraging results. 1t was
therefore decided that the organiza-
tion would not attempt the celebra-
tion along the original plans.
Cairo should celebrate the Fourth
With festivities Of some sort. 1t is
not necessary to expend an enormous
amount for extraordinary exhibit
tions An airship fight would not
be so expensive this time as it was
last year, and If an aviator can be
induced to come to Cairo for Fourth
Of July exhibitions for a reasonable
compensation, this feature should be
obtained by all means, for it would
attract many visitors to the city.
In addition to an aviation display,
the various organizations should get
together and prepare an athletic pro-
gram, with prizes for the winners.
There il an abundance of good ath-
letes In Cairo who would be glad to
participate in meet of this sort and
in arranging program little diff
Guilty would be experienced in OBJ
tanning a sufficient number OF en-
trants to make an athletic meet In
teresting. There are enough discus
throwers, high jumpers, sprinters,
pole vaulters, short and long dis
lance runners in the High School
alone to make up an extensive pro.
gram.
Nearly every village in the United
States will celebrate Fourth of JULY
this year. Cairo surely cannot af
ford to permit villages to excel 1t II
this. Let us all get together ant
boost hard and loud for an old tim,
Fourth of July celebration, with ath
letics, speeches, fireworks and al
the fixings

18th of July celebration.
II seems as though the retail mer-

the project through by themselves

season caused by the recent Hoods
The Cairo Active Travellers are

with the help OF the public generally
we can have a celebration that will

is the same old hcrse-hide ball, but
in addition to using his hands and
feet inpitching it, the pitcher also
uses his tongue. This enables the
ball TO sidestep and otherwise elude
the batter so adroitly that the latter
generally beats the atmosphere for
several yards around into creamy

to hit it,

the dry. The dry bali Is chemically
