These tickets may be procured at either of the banks, as well as several of the stores of the city, particularly those open evenings, and the list of such business houses will appear in tomorrow's Journal. One ticket is all that is needed to admit a gentleman and any lady com panions with him. Inasmuch as a part of the evening's entertainment includes the serving of a luncheon and dancing, the Ak-Sar-Ben manage ment i3 desiriousthat as many of the men bring their wives or sweethearts as possible. It is only in the last few years that the Ak show has been open to wom en, and the response has been more than gratifying. The local band will accompany the caravan, many of them riding in the Cotner bus, use of which has been proffered the committee by Clarence Cotner, without cost.
