Editor Leon Reporter: We left

even a punctured tire. 1S5
My sister dr.. Elmore) from New

Monday morning the tAmericans0s-
teopathic Association convention
opened. 1900 osteOpaths came to
attend the largest Osteopathic con-
vention ever held. They came from
every state in the Union and some
from far off foreign climes. p
1t is not merely convention
where the ideas of their profession
are discussed but it is also return
to their alma mater, visit to scenes
which have become precious heri-
tages in their memories.
The city of Kirksville is decorated
beautifully with the colors OF the
American School of Osteopathy, red
and black, also the American flag.
Hundreds of electric lights swing
from the court house to the stores
on either side. Every place has signs
saying: "Welcome Osteopaths.
On Wednesday was the "Old Doc

500 pounds of bread, 5000 roasting
ears, 500 gallons of ice lemonade
were served free to the multitude
and many were turned away unfed.
The largest crowd ever known in
Kirksville. The parade started from
the A. S. O.. and marched around the
square, then to the Normal grounds.
1t was headed by the Kirksville Mil
itary band with the uniformed rank

All organizations of Kirksville were

came last. Kansas won first prize
