        who first saw the light of day in Kentucky,

        their wives, their sons and daughters, will be
        greatly enhanced. If you feel that you will be
        present, please accept the invitation by signing
        the enclosed post card and mailing it. All ac-
        ceptances will be taken before the passenger
        associations of the country, and we have assur-

        once, so we may extend to them this invi-
        tation.

        Kentucky will join in the welcome to its re-
        turning sons and daughters.  It is p     ed to

green world is busy, glad. blossom-laden.
The hedges are bright with butterfly weeds.
Elder and wild hydrangea peep above the edge of
the gorgc.
The cricket heralds midsummer.
