day. A program Of sports Is being ar
ranged for each ground for that day.
The playground teachers would like

the Sunday school orchestras or other
musical organizations of the city will
not volunteer their services as there
is not money enough to pay for music.
The Fairgrounds Association began
two new Fairgrounds last year and is
anxious to start a third one this sum-
mer, and to this end is urging pay
ment Of dues and new memberships.
The following self-eXplanatory letter

dntbkly dependent on subscriptions

is being made to collect all dues for
