large contribution which this ciiy and town furnished to the fcrGes that peat the kaiser. Other fG,tures of tiae parade will be floats, decorated sau- tomobiles, and all the trimmings that have come to be necessary to sue cessful parade. Plenty of music vii! be provided, and the committee on entertainment promises that it will de it's best to secure the very best bands possible, rather than depend upon the quantity of the music to atone for it's lack of quality.
 Following plans as outlined at pres ent. the parade will diSband at the high school grounds. Here q short speaking and musical programme will | be given The committees present in tention is to secure one very good speaker to give the address of the day, with possibly d live minute talk by another speaker.
 At the conclusion of these exercises, the service men will form and march | to Union hall, where a banquet will l be served Arrangements for this fea- ture have not taken definite shape yet, beyond the assurance that the boys will sit down to the very best dinner that can be imagined, but it is proha- | ble that an entertainment programme will follow the dinner, the general 1 sentiment favorins this feature rath- CT than after dinner speaking.
 A band concert on the square and a dance to be held probably in Ham, mond hall, will help to make the eve ming a lively one. The committee has made no final decision yet. but feels that the dance like all other parts of the programme, is for the soldier boys, and will probably make it q
 closed affair to which only men in un-
 form and their girl friends will be ad-
 mitted. At any rate. there will be nc
 admission charge.
