Dixon Chester c. Davis Alfred Atkinson
to Speak

Arrangements for the big Gallatin
Day picnic have now been completed
and every indication points to big
crowd and very profitable day. The
program will start promptly at IL
a. m. A. H. Stafford, president of
the GaIlatin county farm bureau, will
preside and have general charge of
the program. The first thing will be
a short address of welcome by Presi-
dent Atkinson, followed by stunt
given by the boys in attendance at
the boys camp, after which the gov
ernor will present the prizes and
make short talk to the boys.
Governor Dixon will arrive in the
morning and will be met at the depot
by delegation from the organiza-
tions in charge of the day. The band
will also be there, as will a fOrma-
ton in military array of the boys
from the camp. He will be escorted
direct to the campus and upon his ar
rival there the events of the day will
start
ing their cooperation in the big get
acquainted day by closing their stores
from noon until three o'clock, even
! though it be Saturday, day on which
they do the greatest business on or
dinary occasions. 1t is the plan of
| the hackers of this day to forget
! business, get out on the campus, get
! close to each other, get acquainted
with the neighbor, swap experiences,
stories, play together and make the
Gallatin county family more solidly
united in every way than ever before.
There will be community singing of
old-tiTne songs, under the leadership
of Horace Ensign, with the Three
Forks and Bozeman Chamber of Com
merce bands furnishing music all the
time. For the little folks, the COM
mittee has planned upon a section Of
the campus being set aside in which
they can play all the games from
bind man bluff to drop the handker-
chief, with nurses provided TO look
after them. Ice cream cones will be
furnished them so that they will get
their share of the good things.
The barbecue dinner will start
promptly at IL o'clock. Arrangements
have been made for taking care of
the carving and serving of water
melons, meat, coffee, etc. All Boze-
man people will be expected to stand
back until the visitors from other
parts of the county and from other
counties have been served. Prompt
ly at 1870 the band will play a few
selections, followed by a short talk
by Commissioner of Agriculture Dav-
is, after which the governor will
speak. This will be followed by a
ball game between a team picked
from Bozeman, and one from the bal
ance of the county. It is a matter
of satisfaction to note the unani-
nous approval of the day, and every
indication points to a large crowd
It is gratifying to know that most
of the organizations have expressed
in writing their approval of the day
and their support. Following are the
statements received from the heads OF
some of the organizations of the
county:
