Arrangements for the ''Safe and
Sane'' Celebration at Home
wood Park Monday.
The general arrangements for the
"safe and sane'' observance of the

Commercial Club have been made.
The program will in general feat
ures resemble that of last years
celebration in the same Homewood
Park.
There will be no public exercises
until four o'clock in the afternoon,
the grounds and speakers stand be-
ing open thruout the morning and
early afternoon to any picnic part
les or church gatherings that may
choose to use them, At four o'clock
the Pennock Band will march to the
grounds, and will furnish instru-
mental music thruout the evening.
An address will be made by Prof.
A. N. Gilbertson.
= Various sports will be arranged
for the younger generation.
Lunch with Strawberries and
cream will be served on the grounds
for the benefit of the cause.
All the concessions on the
grounds will yield percentage to
the good public benefit for which
the committee stands.
Free lemonade will be served to
the children, and with lemons at SO
a case, this drink ought to taste
better than ever.
At sundown there will be a sham
battle fought on the Robbins island
in full view of the grounds, which
scenic production will be known as
''1he Battle of Bunker Hill and the
Burning of Charlestown." Imme-
diately after dark a beautiful dis
play of immense sky rockets and
bombs will be fired from the barge
on the lake. Turning from the
lake. the crowd will witness a
tableau, "Columbia," and a mons
ter bonfire will light the people on
their way back to town.
No shooting ofspistols, fire crack
ers or torpedoes will be allowed
within the limits of the park, en-
suring the safety of all the young
people who come and relieving old.
Ier people from the annoyance Of
tl3, II But II
the children will have to desist
from shooting, the program will
still provide enough of the oldtime-
honored features of the celebration
of Independence day to give all a
good time.

try to come and spend the evening
at Homewood park.
