NOISE NOW STARTS
How Little Willie and Johnny Will
Celebrate Independence Day
at Hammond.

With the bang! bang! of the fire
cracker and the snap, snap of the
saucy little torpedo. the young folks of
Hammond have already been stung
with the Fourth of July feeling and al
though not officially notified, they are
now just trying out the noise produc-
ing implements with which they will
murder the peace and quiet~of this city
on Independence day. From the wee
little tot who snaps off cap in the
end of a cane to the big brother who
shoots off a giant cannon cracker they
are all waiting impatiently for the day
TO arrive, and some of them are so
impatient that the crackers just burn
their fingers and they are compelled to
set one or two off a few days before
just to see if the rest are in working
order. 1t was ever thus the world over
and it is hard to say anything against
the patriotic and noise loving youngs-
ter.
Father On, Too.
With the Glorious Fourth only two
days away not only the young child
rem of Hammond but the big children
of Hammond Will be Watching for the
day to come. There will be big brother
Jack with his revolver and blank cart
ridges, who shoots in the air with
wise look and keeps one eye open for
the bull" on the route. There is faith
er, who trots home Wednesday night
with a suspicious looking bundle and
who gets up early in the morn with
wise look and goes in front of mama's s
window, and there is big noise and
he looks like he had done something
smart. Uncle Tom comes down from
the big burg to be near the children
and to get his salmon. green peas and
ice cream, and who shows his little
nephew how the fireworks should be
set off. and burns his hand in two or
three places so that he loses two or
three days pay. and spoils that two
piece summer suit that he has paid ten
simoleons for. All these wise ones will
be around this year as they were last
year and for many years back.
All Follow Band.
Then, too. the children will have the
parade and the big brass bands for
another attraction this year The pres
/ enee Of the Woodmen in their nattv
uniforms is all to the mustard for
+ the Hammond kid and they will walk
the ten mile route Of the parade with
jaunty step just ahead or beside the
band. and swear that they viii all be
drum majors when they grow up. The
parade will also be IN attraction for
the grown folks.
The Fourth of July will be a day OF
enjoyment for the old as well as the
young. In the morning father will be
up early mendfng that place where the
roof leaks, cutting the grass and doing
other odd stunts. and about noon will
be all ready for the parade and the
entertainment of the guests that wifey
has invited down from Chicago. There
viii be the ball game at Hubbard:
