WILL MILFORD CELEBRATE THE FUTEIH

It is now too late for Milford to ar
range for any elaborate celebration
on the Fourth of July, and it is prob
ably just as well that we should help
others have a big celebration. OF
course the bayshore will attract many
but the horse racing at Harrington
and the baseball games will afford
pleasure for the people. Milford will
have two games of ball, and those
who stay at home will patronize these
All fireworks will be prohibited in the
town limits other than the usual dis
play around the lake in the evening.
1t is dangerous for children, and also
for grown-ups to set off fire works,
and especially the hOrrid dynamite
noise contrivances which have been in
vogue in late years.

Will Be
REPRESENTED
AT BUFF ALO MEET

Buffalo, N. Y, Feb. 2S.-Preparations
for the biggest convention in the Unit
cd States on the 1916 calendar, and, for
those who attend S great fun snots on
the years record, have been undertak--
en- with vim by members of Ismatlia
temple who July 11,,12 and 13 will en-
tertain. the imperial council session OF
the Shrine in this city.
Preparedness is the watchword and
'Ismailia will hail ye" is the slogan Of
the Buffalo mobiles and as an indica--
tion that the hailing will mean some
thing more than a cheerful hello, they
have raised fund of 100000 to do 1t
right and have started months ahead
to make their plans to give the visitors
the most the money can provide.
Indications are that close on to 10O.-
900 Shriners will attend the 1916 i'm
perial council session and that means
from far and near. The great bulk OF
attendance naturally will come from
the thickly populated country near
Buffalo and the Niagara frontier. but
large delegations already are assured
from distant cities, from Honolulu, the
Panama canal zone and even from the
Philippine islands
Ell Zagal temple Of Fargo will send
one of the largest delegations it has
had at any Shrine convention in years.
Correspondence already had with the
Zaga1 temple by George K. Staples,
general chairman of arrangements, and
Capt. H. /. Sackett, who has charge OF
arrangements for bands and patrols,
has given the Fargo mobiles assurance
they will have an enjoyable time when
they make the pilgrimage to Buffalo,
the mecca for Shriners this year.
