WILL FIGHT FOR
PAGEANT FUNDS
Luncheon to be Held at Cham
Der of Commerce Monday
to Discuss Plans.

Determination not 10 let the pro-
posed celebration of Indiana's cen
tennial and South Bends semi-cen-
tennial drop merely for lack OF funds
was evinced Friday afternoon at the
meeting of business men held at the
Chamber of Commerce. Unfortu-
nately, however. there were but nine
business men and members of the
centennial committee present, and,
while those present We're enthusi-
astically in favor of the proposed
pageant. it was the opinion of the
meeting that a larger representation
OF the business interests Of the city
and the county should take the final
action upon the question Of proceed
irg with or abandoning the project
Accordingly plans We're made for "a
luncheon TO be held Monday noon
at the Chamber Of Commerce, to
which all the business men of South
Ben dand Mishawalza and all the
officials of the county and Of both
cities are 10 be invited. At this time
the matter of the pageant will be
presented b. +. b. Barnes, recrea-
uon director. and, if possible, by
Rev. John Cavanaugh Of Notre Dame
university. a member Of the state
centennial commission.
1t is estimated that the cost Of
the celebration would be around
$1,000 at least half Of which would
be made by charging a nominal sum
for admission 10 the pageant The
remainder. in the opinion Of those
present. will not he difficult to raise
by popular subscription
1T would be a serious reflection
on the county. il seems 10 me" said
J. ID. oliver, who was among those
present and one of the most enthusi-
astic i'm favor OF the project. If we
should let this centennial slip by
without notice st. Joseph county
is the second county in the state:
Marion is The only one ahead of H..
and we certainly cannot afford 10 let
il get about through the state that
we are falling in our share OF the
celebration. Looking at II from a
merely mercenary point OF view,
what better advertisement for the
city and the county could we have
than such a pageant"

HUNDRED
ATTEND BANQUET
Rev. C. A. LippinCott Tells of
Great Power of Mothers
Over Men of Nation.

With over 800 persons present,
the fourth annual mothers and
sons banquet at the Y. NJ. c. A..
Friday evening went on record as
the most successful which has been
given thus far. The gym" OF the
main building. where the tables
were spread. was packed 70 capacity
and the response TO the Efforts OF
the officials in charge was most
gratifying.
Mrs. Homer g. WeltOn. toastmis-
tress OF the evening. was high in her
praise OF the affair and occasion.
The principal address of the
evening. which followed the ban
QUet, was delivered by Rev. Charles
\. Lippincott. -. D.. Of this city.
His message TO the boys gathered
around the tables was You have
no better and dearer friend any
where nor will you ever have in your
future life than your mother" His
subject was THE Mothers of Men, -
and he said: Man is the greatest
product Of civilization; he is the
supreme product. Yet it has been
a custom for parents to use their
boys for what they can get out Of
the world and not for what they
can give the world.
The greatest thing we can give
the nation and state is developed
manhood" said the speaker. God
gave His Son TO administrate to US,
not to administrate for Himself.
THE most important develop
ment in manhood is in the home.
In the home men are made or men
are married. And the most import
ant factor i'm the home is the moth
er. The father of course can help
a good deal If he is a good father,
but the mother is the constant fac
tor and therefore the most import
ant It is the ideal Of the mother
that creates the atmosphere of the
home.
THE first impression Of the boy
is of his mother And we know that
il is the first impression that al
ways remains. We speak about the
influence Of the school, state. church
and the Y. NJ c. A. but with all
the latters' accomplishments 10 de-
velop and strengthen the character
Of the boy. they are comparatively
small in view Of the great power of
the mother
Motherhood is the greatest vOca-
ton that God has given TO anyone;
it is the most important and the
highest vocation granted by God"
He concluded his address by stat
ing that IF the boys and men OF
the country are to be saved, it will
be by the influence of the mother
in their early childhood
Preceding Rev. Lippincott's ad-
dress a short lecture was given by
John @. Ames. secretary OF the Y.
NJ G. A. Stereopticon slides were
used, illustrating the advantages
offered by the institution for the de
veloping of the character Of boys
and young men by amusements,
physical training and educational
features. Views were also shown
Of the boys life at Corey lake.
As an additional feature of the
program DIR. J. H. Gray, physical
director of the Y. NJ G. A. at Cal
cutta, India, made a few remarks,
telling something OF the work in
that country. lie is in South Bend
in the interest Of the foreign work
ers' banquet. which will be held at
