mendable conduct upon the part OF the

effort in arranging for that part of the
days program allotted to them. The

money and not figure used for adver-
Using purposes.

Armstrong centennial celebration will
be rivaled in the number of beautiful
floats entered, in the parade of to-

such length as to make the process
ion tiresome.
