F. NJ. Rogers. of Clear Lake, and T. B.

explained that it had been customary
for the town where the encampment
was held to give the members of the

with meals. in return for which they
furnish the music for all parades, meet
ings and other occasions during the

Because the convention committee of

arrangement by Assistant Adjutant

when he was here consulting with the
committee regarding convention de-
tails. nothing definite was done today.
