To All Grant County Soldiers, Sail
Ors, Marines and Nurses Of the
World War

On July 4th Grant county welcomes
home all her World War veterans.
All who have been in the active war
service, either over her or over there,
are urgently invited to be in Lancas-
ter on July 4th to participate in this
Homecoming celebration.
Because of the difficulty, if not inn
possibility, at this time of compiling
an accurate list of the World War vet
Grams with their address, this invita-
ton is extended through the news
papers in lieu of a personal invita-
ton to each veteran 1t is hoped that
all will be reached in this way and
that all will take this printed invita-
ton as personal invitation to come
to Lancaster for the day.
The complete program for the day
is published elsewhere in this news
paper, and we believe that all who
read it will find there a great many
inducements to draw them to Lancas-
ter. Nothing has been left undOne
to provide entertainment for those
to whom this invitation is addressed,
as we'll as for all other visitors. Pro-
vision has been made for meals for
the World War veterans and every
thing for the day will be free to
them.
We want to urge all soldiers and
sailors to come prepared to appear in
uniform in the morning parade This
will be the only formation for the
