Colby will be chairman of the work in
our town. The quota asked from our
town is 6 per cent of the last Liberty
loan or 1924. This is the largest
amount asked from us so far and it
will take some good hard work and
the spirit of generosity on the part of
all to carry it through. Will you DO
your part?

postmaster before it is mailed. Full
information as to what the box may

Word was received the first of the

Bureau, saying that it would not be
possible for the Venetian Musicians to
give their concert Saturday evening
as advertised but would have to post
none it. The first entertainment of
the course will be the lecture by Peter
MCQUEEN, the noted traveller and war
correspondent, whose lecture will be
worth the price Of the entir course.
