hay. Q fn II in0IY1cixro Tho commit
tee has secured the use of vacant

is the firemen's parade which will be
held on Thursday evening, Septem-

this event. Four silver loving cups
will be awarded to the companies
participating in the parade as well
as one cash prize.
Last year the ladies of the various
organizations in town took charge of
the eating booth. This plan proved to
be a wonderful one and will again
be followed out this year. By the ef-
forts of the ladies in this booth the
firemen were able to fulfill their OBJ
legation toward the purchase of new
equipment. The local fire laddies
have launched a new drive this year
for new fire house with community
hall above. The firemen are deter
mined to have proper place to
house valuable fire equipment and
are also anxious to provide place
for community gatherings that can
be used without much expense. The
ladies of the different organizations
will be expected to assist on the
same plan as last year and in order
to put the program across within the
next year it will be necessary for
everyone to cooperate in the COM
munity.
