The object of an annual Play Day is
solely. to give the boys and girls a
day of, pleasure which. in after years.
they can look back on with memo-
ries Of perfect JOY and happiness.
The festivities are being especially

in very many cases the children have
been deprived of many Of their every
day merry making and childhood
pleasures. #
The rooms Of the, Larimore school
will be thrown open and a very ex-
oellent display Of school work has
been arranged which will doubtless
be very attractive to children and
grOwn-ups. The program will com
mence promptly at 10 o'clock in the
morning. One oftthe very interesting
events of the day will be a grand
march and parade, which will be led
by the Larimore band.
Many floats, distinctively original
and very artistic, have been gotten
! UP and will add much to the gayness
Of the parade. J. r. Parsons, a vete-
ran of the Civil war, will march,
dressed in the uniform of the Con-
federate soldier. T..
1t is especially urged that mothers
Of men in the service will be present.
These women will carry service flags
and automobiles have been provided
for them to ride in. The cars will be
appropriately decorated.
The Red Cross will have a very
fitting place in the, parade also. A
Red Cross nurse in uniform will sym
bolize that organization. Banners
