 some attractive, convincing, appropri-

I am satisfied that there is good big 

 money in this scheme for the right 

 man. I should enjoy developing it 

 myself, but I have seen too many in- 

 stances of attempting too much, hence 

 I nuist be content with suggesting it

It is an opportunity of a lift'time to 

 take the trip to California, as all con- 

 's ention members can avail themselves 

 of the low railroad rates, as it comes 

 at the time of the Grand Army meet- 

 ing in San Francisco, .'ind the same 

 rates apply to Los Angi-les.
