to Be Held Next Monday

Between thirty and forty persons
have already signiiied their intentions

chapel in Woodford Hollow and tax
ing the highway past White Grow Inn
to Hell Hollow and there take the
Long Tail up the Hollow to Hagar
Clearing, joining the rest Of the ex
cursion party and proceed with them

lance from Woodford Hollow to Lit
tie Pond by this route is about five
miles. The wagons will be in readi-
ness late in the afternoon to take the
entire party back from Woodford
City upon the return of the last sec
ton from the Grail.
Those who intend to go on the trip

Il suppose that most people" said

shears and razor as comparatively easy
work; they would not expect 10 find

The fact is that standing all day
and even in the easier parts Of his
work using his arms all day In various
positions the barber keeps his muscles
I'm constant exercise, while in such OPP
eratlons as shampooing and massage
he is called upon for the exertion Of
