While an admission fee of 10 cents
was chilrged to the pavilion in which
ne spoke, Secretary Bryan did not
receive any compensation for his ad-
dress. he had accepted the invita-
ton because the date CHANGED to be
the twenty ninth anniversary of his
wedding, and he and Mrs. Bryan
were to ceIebrete the occasion by a

bour, of Fairfax
During his address Mr.. Bryan
pointed to the fact that $5,000.000 IS
spent annually in Y. NJ c. a. work,
or more than twice as much as was
spent in the last presidential cam
paign. The ratio between these ex-
;yenditures, he said, is to l, and will

Further on there were sheds shell

fully plumed fowl, and champiIg
horses. Ii fact. everything that
