Not every man or woman will receive a personal invitation from the club, for the records of those returned are in complete.

It don't make the slightest difference whether you entered the service from Box Butte county or not- if you are infthe county the day of the celebra tion, you are expected to make your self at home, and the committee will be disappointed if you do not avail yourself of the clty'B hospitality. At headquarters you will be pro vided with a badge, and with free tickets to the various -entertainments provided for you. If you haven't 1 received the letter and card sent by the club, it's doubly Important that you register, so that a place can be made for you at the banquet.

Alliance folks hope you'll wear your uniform, though if you've out grown it, or if It feels too strangely, you don't have to do It. The Amer ican Legion post In Alliance - dis cussed the uniform question at a re cent iheetlng. It was acknowledged that some of the folks out of the service disliked to wear their uni forms, but most of the boys thought it ought to be done. It will lend an air to the celebration that will help in developing the spirit. But if It will make you feel the least, bit strained, leave It packed In moth balls.

You won't have to listen to anyone at the banquet. Tbe only noise will be the rattle of dishes and knives and' forks, unless you make It yourselves. If you haven't been located by the committee, and haven't received a card to send in reserving a place for the banquet, try to remember to pass the word on to Itufus Jones, secre tary of the club, telling him you'll be on band for the feed.
