citizenry of Burleigh county is ex-
pected here Friday night in the "De-
Tense Test" demonstration which is
to be held in all parts Of the coun-
try.
Every able-bodied man in Bis
marck, without respect to age, is
asked by those endeavoring to carry
out President Coolidge's proclama-
tion for Defense Day" to be in the
parade Friday night.
The parade is scheduled to start
from the city swimming pool, Broad.
way and Washington, at 6:45 p. m
Friday. After the parade there will
be a patriotic program at the Audi
torium, with music and few short
talks, lasting not more than one
hour. The program probably will
begin about 7:l5 p. m.
There will be three bands in the
parade and many uniformed men.
However, the program will be car
ried out as demonstration of the
willingness and ability of citizens to
rally to the defense of their coun-
try, and very little of militaristic
nature will be found in the arrange
ments.
Bismarck citizens will be joined
by many from outside the city. Dris-
coll, Sterling and Wilton all have
reported that automobile loads of
men will come to the city for the
parade.
