sessions Of the =. o. S. OF A. has been

any neglect on the part of the local COM

weeks to gather together all the necessary
data for the information of the delegates
and is now able TO announce that the grand
street demonstration will be one of the
chief attractions of the state Camp this
year. The parade will be held on Thursday.
August 30, and both the Reading and the

pha for $3.50.
