HOLY NAME RALLY
HERE NEXT YEAR
Fifty delegates attended the month¬ ly executive meeting of the Long Isl¬ and Diocesan LTnion of the Holy Name Society at Lynbrook on Sunday after¬ noon.
One of the must important matters for consideration was the plan to be made for next year's great rally. The last was held at Patchogue several weeks ago, Tt'OO members attending. Frank Donaghy, representing Free- port, Rockville Centre and Bellmore. put in a bid for Freeport. He pointe<l out that Freeport is one of the largest villages on Long Island and has every facility for holding such a rally. It ia tbe home of the largest Catholic Church on Long Island, and Rev. John O'Toole. the paslor, cordially invites the Holy Name .Society to Freeport in 1915.
Before tHis caa be accepted, a for¬ mal invitation must be made in writ¬ ing over Father O'Toole's signature. This will be given to the Rally Com¬ mittee, which body wiP take action. Four invitations have been given, but it is admitted that Freeport will like¬ ly be the next scene of the Holy Name rally.
C. E. Whitehouse, Roosevelt, has about .=>00 loads of dirt,at frolley Stop e.s. which he is willing to give away to the first person who calls for it. About 200 loads of this ii top sotl and the rest tine gravel. Mr. Whitehouse is doing some building and wanta'to £«t rid of tbc dirt at oace.

You j will awaken on the morning of .August 22, and find that the big Wild West ' show has arrived on their own special '¦ trains of double length cars and are ' preparing everything for your pleas- 1 nre. Then glance at a few of the : featares of this noted attraction. To begin, they are the only show on earth ; carrying a real up-to-date aeroplane. I Yes, a real aeroplane. Not a model, ' but one that actually flies and will cir- I cle your city and alight at show I grounds for inspection. Furniahed by I the Chicago Aeroplane Manufacturing , Co. to Kit Carson BufTalo Ranch Wild i West at an enormous expense and I flights guaranteed every day.

OUR GOOD KOADS The roads of Nassau Coiinty have never been in better cm-Jiti'in than they are now. The improven,ent of the Merrick Road has made rhe trip into New York much easier than it was. The City authorities are repair¬ ing .Merrick Road beyond V'elley Stream, and thr- best way to get to .New York IS to turn otT to the right at West's H<itel corner. Valie.v Streani. and liear to the left on this road until the Merrick Road is again reached just before coming into Jamaica.
OUT OF THE FRYING PAN I have to come through Pine   Street considerably, crossing the tro.ley track at Grove Street, and I asked   the   Vil- | lage Board in a written communication if they would kindly fix it   so    that   iti Would be passable.    .\nd   it   certainly, is fixed.     I would not like to be so con¬ ceited as   to  think   that   it   had   been i "fixed" for my    special fier.etit.    but I i venture to say that if I could take our genial Road Commissioner and two   or three members of the Village Board of Trustees   over that road   six   times   a day for six days that   the   road   wouli! lie fixed again, and this time so that it would lie a little   more   decent.    Com-: ifig down to facts, I have not yet found 1 on   Long   Islands real double "Thank-' you ma'am" as rank as the one   which bas   been   »o   laboriously   installed   ati tlih' '•r,,sf'nL'. I

Big Time Labor Day
for All Freeport
The date of the Annual .-^tale .Sestlon I.f tiie Jr. O. U. .A. .M. drawing near, finds the local committee hard at wf.rk on tbeir plans to make a reputation for Freepirt as a place for small conven¬ tions,   and   to this end they invite the
|co oiieration of all residents  rf   Free-
' Iiort,
So.in after Iieginning work the com¬ mittee realized that although the con¬ vention WHS entirely of a secret organ¬ ization the issue waa of interest tC all, and tu furtiier that interest tiiey ask all the residents of the village to give the delegates, lo the number of about l-'iO. such a welciime that after they retunV home they will  not   forget
j Freeiort nor the hospitality ..f its resi-
¦ dents.
iiesidenls   and   busioess men are re-
i<iaested   to   decorato   their houses a;.d
: places of Iiusiness. This is a patriotic organization,   audits   colors   those   of
' the tlag, so that no special emblems ar--reijuired, and indeed none   Kr<^"ler
' could lie given than those of   the   Red,
I White and Blue.
1     A novel scheme of vvelconie has been
! Iiroposed and it remains to be seen how
' il   will   be acceiited by the public.     .\
"'soap artist" has been secured who will, for the sum of ten cents, put the words " Welcome Jr. O. U. -\. .M." in soap on the wind shield of every aulo¬ mobile. Delegates wil! be given to un¬ derstand that whenever thev see an automobile with these words rm the shield it will mean that the owner is a Freeport "boomer" and that he is will¬ ing, if they so desire, to show them the points of interest in the village. Delegates will be easily distinguish¬ able by the badge they wear, both la.l- ies and gentlemen.
Plans are being carefully laid so that there will be no conflict betwetn the convention and the annual parade and inspection and field day of the Fire Department which occurs the same day, and an invitation will be extend¬ ed by the Fire DepartmenI committee to all the delegatus who desire to at¬ tend the games, although it is expect¬ ed most all will go to the beach, where they will be guesta of Freeport Conns cil at a bay dinner at Ellison's Sea Side Hotel ajid Pavilion, returning home by moonlight after enjoying dancing at the beach.
Taken altogther, this jiromises-to be a great day for Freeport for. although the number of delegates is small, tbey come from every corner of the Empire State, and every loyal Freeporter is vitally interested in what these dele gates tell about Freepori when they return to their homes after the Con¬ vention.
