ters at the Armory.
Each county will have committee,
which will be in the nature Of a recep-
ton committee, and when Jim Jones
or Mrs. Martha Simpson visits tho
cantonment and finds herself unable
to locate any Of his or her friends,
and when that little lonely feeling
threatens to spoil ones good time,
then Mr. Jones or Mrs. Simpson can
go to the county headquarters, pick
out the county from which they hail..
and there be given the glad hand'
by those in charge Of that particular
county booth.
Nine times out OF ten both Jim
Jones and Mrs Simpson will know in
timately those In charge of their
county booth, and in less time than 1t
takes to tell they will soon get rid OF
the lonely feeling and find them
selves in the midst Of old friends, and
ready to enjoy the numerous attrac-
tons at the cantonment

probable that many old friendships
will be renewed and impromptu fam

--thirty-four tons. The Maryland
Jockey Club, however, has consented
to the use Of the Pimlico Race Course
for this purpose, and at its own ex

twenty feet, have trenches dug
mounds thrown up and other obstacles
placed, 1t being the idea of those who
have charge of this feature Of the
War Exhibition to make II as realistic
as possible The tank will be in Bal

show.

to give the tickets the widest possible
distribution. Upwards of 5000 letters
were sent out last week to physicians

ing and loan Associations, clubs, den.
lists, educational institutions, mer-
chants. etc. Just how the committee
In charge will take care of the vast
crowds which the stupendous sale OF

gave much concern, but ARRANGEMENTS
have now been made whereby there
will be practically no difficulty expert.

aid In making the Cantonment the
most elaborate and spectacular show
