Just Like Fourth
Only Different.

Missoula was treated to Il Fourth
OF July celebration yesterday,
minus a few of the old customs
The pink popcorn stands and the
clenr pure glasses of lemonade
were missing. But there was
plenty of color. Cars were gaily
dressed in the national colors and
many of them carried n small en-
blem that didn't appear at any of
the former celchrations-the serv-
ice flag. The Modern and the
Nonpareil probably would tell YOU
II you were to ask that the crowds
came just as they have on the
great anniversary day.
The violin and banjo player were
there-yes, on y. ]. Donohue's cor
ner, and the little fellow who
played the banjo tried and tried
again to make his cracked. boyish
voice heard across Higgins avenue
bridge, The blind man perspir-
ingly worked away at his fiddle
and drew the crowd. The young
ster looked tired and often bit his
lip to keep up his courage, but his
eyes gave him away.
The day ended with dance at
Union hall, just as other Fourths
have ended--yet 1t WAS April q.
