A SANE FOURTH
At WARREN
CELEBRATION WAS A BIG sue.
CESS. THE TOWN WAS FULL
OF PEOPLE AND EVERYBODY
HAD A GOOD TIME.

Warren was sane and successful from
every point OF view. The day was an
ideal one, and there was great in.
coming of the people, by every road
trains also brought large numbers, all
intent upon observing the national
holiday in our fair city. The young
man from the country and his best
girl were here in their best clothes
and enjoyed themselves to their
hearts content. The children, God
bless them, came in in wagon loads
and their merry laughter mingled In
our streets with all the other noises
Of the day. Yes, it was jolly crowd
of patriots that invaded Warren on
this great and glorious day.
Promptly at 10 o'clock the grand
parade started from the High School
square, headed by the Warren City
Band in their bright new uniforms,
and with the U. S. flag in front of
them, carried by Chas. Woolery, the
official standard bearer for this city
from the early days. The Calithunl-
plans in their grotesque costumes at
tracted great deal of attention and
the Warren Fire Department also
showed off to great advantage In the
parade.
The exercises at the Park were
very interesting. First there was
music by the Warren City Band fol-
lowed by prayer by Rev. E. O. Chel-
gren. Next L. Lamberson, President
OF the Day, delivered a splendid adj
dress of welcome. After a song by
the chorus and music by the city band,
the time honored document, The Dec
laration of Independence, was read
and we'll read, by Prof, c B. Sjo-
strand, of North Star College. In a
clear ringing voice and with proper
emphasis he brought out the full
meaning of this memorable declara-
tion. Following another song by the
chorus, Rev. A. A. Myels delivered a
very able and interesting patriotic
address. He called attention to many
incidents in the life OF the great
Washington and other mer prominent
in our country's history. Mr.. Myers
speech was much appreciated. The
song America concluded the \ exer-
cises at the park.
The races and other sports of the
afternoon program took place at the
driving park. The grand stand was
packed with spectators and not half
the crowd could be accommodated in
that structure. All the 1aces came
off as scheduled without hitch.
In the evening hundreds of couples
tripped the light fantastic toe in the
big boWery that had been erected on
the right-of-way opposite the First
National Bank. All who celebrated
the Fourth in Warren this wear haG a
