W. d. Nesbit, the Hoosier poet hui

Onward to Hazeldc1 farm
Local lessons in the utterance of this
slogan are being taken these days by
the several hundred members of the
tldiana society of Chicago including
a brilliant array of the leading citi-
gems. Also the date, June %. is belted
IN scarlet on insurance calendars
adjoining the walls of the former In
dianians.
On that day the society will emf
crate to Hazelden farm, the nice lit.
tie piece OF property occupied by
George AIDE when he is not on Broad
way. in Hong-Kong or at the Chicago
Athletic association. Announcement
Of the full arrangements from the Of
flee of the master OF ceremonies last
week and the prospects point that Mr.
AIDES guests will have the broadcast,
biggest, grandest, largest, widest,
longest and thickest time of their lives,
recollection of the first Christmases,
Independence days and circus days in
cluded.
Furthermore 1t is whispered the af-
fair will be the roundest round trip
in all history.
A ball game between the Lit'ry Guys
and the Plain Pee-pul will be the out
standing sporting event of the day AS
Mr.. AIDE owns the ground on which the
diamond has been scratched. it was
considered fitting that the dramatist
lay down the rules for conducting the
great contest. These are the instruc-
lions prescribed by Mr.. AIDE III spe-
cial night lettergram to Wilbur D.
Nesbit:
AIDES Rules for Game.
THE ball game between the Lit'ry
Guys and the Plain Pee-pul will be
played on a padded diamond with a
soft ball. .-...
THE ball will be Amounted with glue
so that it may be held when caught
Instead of calling the Lit'ry Guys
out the umpire Judge Kenesaw NJ.
Lands. will hand them editors rejec-
ton slips.
"A home run by Lit'ry Guy will
be rewarded by an acceptance slip.
ANY Lit'ry Guy trying to get
corner on the ball will be promptly
fined So9,OOO,OOo by umpire lands.
The umpire. because Of his judicial
position, will hand down his decisions
from the bench instead OF standing
back Of the catcher
THE umpire will be keen for the
rights Of the Plain Pee-pul, of whom he
has always been loyal friend, as has
his brother Charley and his other
brother Fred.
Carriages will be provided for base
runners who reach the second bag.
