hOLLETfR PLANS
BIG CELEBRATION
Pioneer Day to be Held Thurs
day, October z
WILL COMMEMORATE THE BIRTH
OF THE TOWN.
Parade, Baseball Game, Bucking Con-
test, Races, OratiOns and Carnival
Attractions Will be Features.

The best fun on earth is small
town Pioneer Day. City celebrations
on a big scale with all of their gilt
tering grandeur cannot compare in
solid enjoyment and uproarious hilar-
ity to the stunts that a village can
pull off on such an occasion.
Do you remember the sort OF day
the Fourth of July used to be in your
youth,-when you all got together for
one large picnic, lasting all day and
good chunck of the night; when you
had parade in the morning, in which
you knew practically everyone who
participated, followed by genuine sill
yer tongued oratory OF the kind that
seems to have become scarcer these
days; when you had an almost rlotous
baseball game with a nine from
neighboring town, and then series
of riding, driving and foot races, some
of them purposely humorous, tug-o'-
war between the alleged strong men
of two rival districts, and creased
pole and creased pig to add to the
excitement; when the town band pol
ished it's brass instruments and patch
ed it's bass drum and jOinted in the
fray. and you had a rOusing dance In
the school house in the evening with
real four-piece orchestra to furnish
the music, by gosh.
If YOU happened to live further west,
there were some live bucklng exnlDl-
tions and lariat throwing contests, ana
if you were not too far in the interior,
a few carnival attractions such as
merry-go-round, doll baby rack and
various others OF similar ent1c1ng ma
ture, graced the event with their pres
ence.
All of this is just what Holllster
promises to it's citizens and the set
Tiers of the Salmon River tract, and,
in fact, the people of the entire Twin
Falls country on the day and night OIL
Thursday, October 2. An effort has
been made to avoid conflicting with
the fun being planned by other cltles
and towns in Southern Idaho. In
considering all Of the dates Whlch
have been announced by these otner
places, this was found to be lmpossl-
BILE, other factors being considered
but Pioneer Day in Hollister VIII De
unique, and >on that account, although
not as large as some other celeDra-
tions, is expected to draw CROWDS from
this part of the state for miles around.
Eyeryone is invited The comfort
ant consideration For instance, pien-
ty of benches will be provided for the
weary, and tables for those who bring
their "eats" with them. The stunts
will be concentrated in one part OF
town. called the fair" grounds, as
far as possible, in order TO eliminate
too much tramping here and there
during the day A plan is on foot to
serve dinner to all comers at a
nominal price, and the ladies OF Hol-
lister will be asked to take charge OF
this most necessary phase of the ar
rangements and to appease the appe-
tite of the mob. HOLSTERS two no.
