..g,-,,i, reported their number of dele
80 cln be taken as safe indica-
or so clubs in the State which
federated, and from which repre-
s.-s,iyes are expected, the number
-. nave so far made housing reser-
ys,.7ns have asked for more room than
,bs local committee had counted on.
!, IS understood, however, that ar
rarrements are being made for more
telsrates than had originally planned
- attend the convention, so there will
h. no trouble about taking care of the
increased number. The convention
viii he the largest meeting Of its kind
ever held in Shepherdstown. To hold
the meeting in a small town is sort
of an experiment for the West Vir-
Cir;, Federation, which has hereto
fo-e held its annual convention in the
I,rcc- cities of the State. The local
r,uh Is making pretentious efforts to
see that the convention will be sue

resent West Virginia's best families
and who carry the most distinguished
names in the State, will be well pleas
ed with their stay in Shepherdstown.
The final program for the conven-
lion. which has just been announced,
IS one which will be interesting. Well
