Plan for Fourth of July.-Something
elaborate and startling in the way of a
Fourth of July celebration is promised
Moline this year. 1t will be after the
manner of the old-time celebration with
its big picnic and contests. and pyro-
technic display in the evening. The
fact that a start on the plans is made
this early indicates that program
more elaborate than anything attempt
led previously will be arranged. The
manufacturers business men and
merchants organizations will be asso-
ciated in the preparations for the
event. and the outlay will be heavy as
compared with the expense of similar
celebrations here. There will be va
riety of drills for the militia and the
drill teams of the various lodges. wa
ter contests by the naval reserve crews.
Close to $1,000 will be set apart for
these events. The program has not
yet been considered. but the sentiment
is that it partake of the oTdtime idea
along the lines suggested.
