The Parade
Every section of the parade on the
morning Of the Fourth is sure to be
big one, according to the parade
committee. More tiremen than were
expected will be on hand to follow
the route through the city with their
hand-tubs.
The decorated section will be a
feature in itself. Entries already
filed with the committee include the
Edwards Manufacturing Co.. the ID.
w. Adams Co. Swift & Co, Girls
Community club, Central Maine
Power Co., Old Scotch Ginger Ale
Co.. Glenwood Springs BottIing Co,
Poulin d Stanley and the State
House. Still others will take part
who have not yet notified the COM
mittee.
There are also a number of firms
who have decided to enter floats in
the fantastic section of the parade.
All over the city the boys and girls
are, talking aboutAthe decorated BIZ
cycle section. They want to know
what kind of decorations will be ac-
cepted. The Committee is fixing no
rules. but leaving it wholly to the in
genuity of the riders themselves to
fix up their wheels. The prizes on
display in the windows of the F-ifeld
Bros. Co. have been the object Of
many envious glances this week.
In the automobile section there
will be a big number of cars and
Blaine Owen has rounded up a
whole lot who will take part in this
division.
The Horrbies Section
The Horribles section of the
Fourth of July parade is coming
along fine, from the reports of the
committee in charge of the work.
There are about 40 known entries in
the parade and it is expected that
there will be more as it is only neces-
sary to be there at the time of the
parade to enter no entry blank be-
ing needed. There is to be one blact
of the fire whistle at 7.45 A. NJ. to
signify that the parade is formed and
two at ) o'clock as a signal that q
has started. All must be in line at
the proper time as the parade will
start promptly at the appointed time
regardless of whether all are in line
or not.
The Horribles will be divided into
several classes-motor driven, horse
driven, pedestrians and children and
there will be prizes for each divis-
ion. The horribles may be anything
that will create fun, and anyone who
has an idea that he thinks is a prize
winner. should be at the corner of
Winthrop street and Pleasant street
at the appointed time and take their
place in line.
Dennis band will lead the horribles
section Of the parade and so the en-
trants are assured Of plenty of music.
Red Gross Emergency Tents
The Augusta Chapter of the led
Cross will have two tents on the
