The uiluo of public gatherings can
not bo determined with exactness. Wo
may however discover a few advant
ages that, impress themselves upon
ones attention which contains a fow
elements .of certainly. For instance
when lufsgonoially beliovcd that an
unusual number of people will con
gregate in a certain city or town on
a certain date tho inhabitants of that
city or town will endeavor to make
tho rftieets as attiactuo as possible,
furnish provision for tho comfort of

Much was douo in Red Cloud before

Hut thero is another value. Tho city
obtains u degroo of advertising iu tho

Evory tlmo a name is mentioned in
