Crawford county. and everybody had
IA good time at the American Legion

Denison. All eXService men, their fam

invited to attend the big celebration,

that the weather might prevent large
number from a distance from coming
to the picnic, but towards noon the sun
finally appeared, the band arrived and
gave a short concert in the business
section of the city and the celebration
commenced. Washington park is an
excellent picnic ground and many of
the visitors took advantage of the beau.
tiful shade trees and spread out their
dinners in regular picnic fashion. One
o'clock was the hour arranged for the
free attraction which was furnished by
the NivarletSmith company and the
bicycle stunts performed by the com.
pany were heartily enjoyed. .
