STATE PAGEANT
BEING PLANNED
Secretary OF Illinois Historical Society
Tells of Celebration to Be Held
In 1918.

Springfield, Ill, Jan. 26.-An agri-
cultural pageant combining legend
and romance with history and to be
acted by children is being planned as
part of the celebration of the Illinois
Centennial in 1918. A general plan
for such a pageant has been worked
out by Mrs Jessie Palmer Weber, sec
rotary OF the Illinois State Historical
society.
Discussing the pageant, Mrs.
Weber said:
1T has occurred to me that it might
be of great interest TO work up in
pageant form the legends relating to
Indian corn and / believe some of
these might be used as the opening
scene or introduction to a pageant
Il think the story of Kaskaskia
would suit this purpose, especially in
bringing out the French commons in
which each family was assigned its
little portion of land for a garden, an
orchard, and limited grazing space
One might have the French settlers
with their gardens and orchards and
the eyer-present wheat as well, as
the Frenchmen always used Whit
bread and did not depend on ground
corn as did the Virginians.
Starting with the legends of tht
Indian corn with the Indian scenes
the tepees and the canoes, then the
arrival OF the French commarlan
Boisbriant and the priests, the settle
ment at Kaskaskia, the division of thu
land into commons, the quaint dres.

the soldiers at Fort Chartros and the
first few French women might fol-

would be the harvesting Of the wheat.
THE changes in the government
could be shown, the arrival of the
English, the coming of George Rog-
ers Clark, followed by the Virginians

ing thing would be the establishing of

cultural implements"
