DAY PLANS Are
MATURING

The business men and citizens Of
Caldwell are preparing for another
Homesteaders' day to be celebrated
m or about June 3rd. Once before
Caldwell celebrated this day and the
occasion was great success. Thous-
ands of people came in from the sur
rounding country and nearby towns
We believe that there was not one
Of them who did not immensely enjoy
the day. This occurred three years
ago. For the success of the celebra-
ton great credit is due Mr.. ]. S. Har-
r;neton. So firmly were the business
men and citizens convinced that to
him was due the credit that the entire
management was this year turned over
to Mr.. Harrington. He will have full
charge. All committees will be ap-
pointed by him and serve as he d.
reefs. While Mr.. Harrington will be
in full charge this day will be sup
ported by the entire population, both
in financing the undertaking and in
entertaining those who may be our
guests on this occasion.
The main feature 81 the celebration
three years ago was the grand barbe-
cue served free at noon. Added to
this were field sports of all kinds.
open air concerts and entertainments,
brass band music. street parades, and
the other features which usually con-
tribute to the enjoyable celebration OF
a day of this kind. This year about
the same program will be the order Of
the day. However, with the execp-
ton of the barbecue, the entertain
ment features will be on larger and
broader scale. At the last celebration
the barbecue was on such a scale that
it would be impossible to enlarge OF
improve it. The meals were served
and then there was food Of all kinds
left This year the barbecue will be
the same as before. There will be
ample food and accommodation TO,
the thousands who will enjoy Cald'
wells hospitality.
Homesteaders' day is celebrated
that the people living near Caldwell
both in town and country, may b.
shown just appreciation of their bus
pess, trade and goodwill. There arr
thousands of homesteaders living OF

this city and in their honor the da!
was named. However, this in NJ
wise precludes the other people liv
ing in this section from the thorough
enjoyment of the day.
