convass the situation to see what the
business men thought of the PROPOSE
tion to properly celebrate the Glorious
Fourth. At special mass meeting
of citizens last Friday night Ben Du-
Bots, chairman of this committee, re-

Then he handed out some upper

he was in real earnest.
DO you suppose for moment that
