much about, say Mexico for in
stance, the country that has been
causing so much trouble on the
South. You will have a chance to
see the people in. their native cos
tunes and see how they live and
what they eat. Or, perhaps the
wilds of Africa, or China with its
rice and chop sticks, or some other
country would interest you more.
All these and many more will be
visited by the tourists who make the
trip.
The first excursion will start Fri
day, October oath, and the first boat
will sail from the docks at p. M.
of that date, from the Annex of
the Methodist church in Liberal.
The trip will be under the auspieces
of the Epworth League TranspOrta-
ton Company of the Methodist
church. Every Epworth Lacquer,
or friend of the Epworth League,
or every young person who wants
the League folks to be his friend is
invited to make the trip. The only
thing it will cost will be to leave
your troubles at home, put on a
smile and come. Don't forget that
the first boat sails, at p. M, Oct.

Methodist Church. 22t1c
