Governors Days for the 1922 sea-

Invitation to all relatives and friends
of the military divisions in camp,
the day will be especially apart for
the ladies. The governor earnestly
hopes that the representative women
from the various parts of the state
will be on hand regardless of
whether or not they obtained a spe-
cial invitation.
An earnest effort, says the COVER
nor, has been made to see that no
section of the state will be without
a fair representation in order that
the women might see first hand the
actual working of the annual en-
campment and for an opportunity
to enc old acquaintance and
make new ones from different Sec
lions as has been the custom of the
men for so many years. No effort
has been spared to make ladies' day
this yea one of the o successful
in the states history.
The military units now in camp
are the 102nd Cavalry and the 44th
Division Signal Corps. In addition
to these units marksmen from every
section of the state are on hand
participating in the usual tests.
