good cause along, but they will no
doubt adopt the slogan and fall in
line later on. We hope so. anyway,
for there is going to be all kinds of
little tasks to perform before we are
ready to 60 on dress parade, and,
as many hands make light work, no

a copy will be mailed to every
home in the county before the mails
close on that date. If you don't re-

thousand for distribution, which
will be enough to go around and
have few left to mail your friends
who reside outside of the county.

one by first mail.
