INVITE YOUR FRIENDS
TO CELEBRATE HERE

who is very much wrapped UP in the
plans for the Grange Fourth of July
celebration, suggests that one good
way to advertise the affair is for every
one in the community to write to some
friend or, relative on the outside dis
cribing the anticipated festivities and
inviting them to come. AS an outline
for such letters. Mr.. Bughouse kindly
permits us to copy one that he has
written sto his nephew in neighbor-
its kind. It follows
