alike. The monetary returns, while i'm

consideration. Denominationalism has
as yet been unsuccessful in providing
a city-wide celebration.
The fact Is that there are hundreds
of families in Hammond who want a
little excitement beyond the ordinary.

children, who want the advance assur-

celebration without too much physic

would grow in popularity with each
year. but the time to make beginning
is now, it is argued.
