MUCH WORK
BEING DONE
Aladdin Temple of Grand Rapids,
'Murat Temple of Indianapolis and
Medinah Temple of Chicago Will
Be Represented By Large Delega-
ton of Mystic Shriners.

The program of Shriners day when
in the neighborhood of $50 Northern
Indianians will become Shriners in
Hammond is just off the press and be-
tween the lines of Arabic the uniniti-
ated is able to read a few words and
phrases which give him an inkling of
what is to happen on this eventful day
in Masonry.
There are several important devel-
opments in the plans for the giving of
the Shrine in Hammond. It has been
learned that in addition to an assur-
ance from Murat temple in Indianapolis
that it's Arab patrol and band will be
here to give the work and that the
Medinah temple at Chicago will send
large delegation: Aladdin temple of
Grand Rapids. Mich. will send large
number of Shriners in special train.
Many From Other Towns.
This makes it certain that In addition
to the Masons who are expected to come
to Hammond from all of the nearby
cities there will be great many from
towns which hitherto have not been
heard from. The number of visitors in
Hammond on the 27th of June is ex-
pected to be between 10000 and $1,000
and even this figure may be exceeded.
The number Of candidates which have
now been heard from has reached the
surprising total of 125 and it seems that
the $50 mark will be reached In this
case as in the case when the mark was
set at 100 the number will not be ex-
ceeded by one or two additions no mat
ter how hard the candidate tries to get
in.
/ Congressman Edgar D. Crumpacker
was in Hammond yesterday and when
informed that there would be in the
neighborhood of $50 candidate initiated
in the Shrine he said that he intended
to think up the pass word and come
over to watch the caravan go over the
hot and burning sands
Judge Tuthin Is Busy.
Judge Harry B. Tuthill is looking
after the matter in Michigan City and
several applications have been sent in
from those places. Letters are being
received from Shriners all over this
part Of Indiana inquiring about the big
day here on the 27th of June and when
the 5000 Invitations are finally issued
1T is expected that the interest will be
even more general.
