ton outline the activities planned.
The time is fast approaching for our
celebration which in few weeks will bel
past history.
Many of our pioneers labored through
the years with trials and hardships facing
them at most every effort to forge ahead to1
make livelihood for themselves and COM
ing generations.
We today enjoy the fruits of their
labor and have every reason to rejoice that
we live in a community which can justly be
called one of the finest in the world.
We cannot believe there is anyone lv-
ing in Redwood Falls or its surrounding
community who is not ready to celebrate this
seventy-fifth birthday and do his utmost to,
make this an event long to be remembered.
Some of our good people have given the
executive committee fine cooperation and
it is this good spirit of offering their services
that has been a great help to us.
There are great many things to do as
yet and we hope to have every citizen in
Redwood Falls enter this Jubilee with a will
to boost and make this the outstanding
celebration and entertainment of all time
A Diamond Jubilee comes to us but once
in lifetime and many of us will not be here
for the centennial, so let's put our shoulder
to the wheel and give boost.
To date 20 floats have been ordered of

are being built by the L. F. Vaughn Decorat-
ing company. Mr.. Vaughn has turned out
some fine floats and is ready to give you an
estimate on costs and a choice of styles.
They will also given any firm assistance
which has the time to build its own
Our parade will be the best ever held in
Redwood Falls and anyone wishing to enter
float or any other entry must notify the
parade committee who will pass on all en-
ic ohoiy of fbo
parade committee and C. F. Gales chairman
OF the float committee There will be no en-
tries allowed in the parade unless they have
been passed on by these committees.
Anyone whether they live in the COM
nunity or not, may enter floats in the par
ade. Entries from other communities from
individuals in other cities or from farmers
are solicited ..,a,,u,
Membership in the Redwood Falls Pio-
neers is still far below expectations. We feel
the membership in the city alone should hit
the 500 mark. TO date we have but about
half that number. Five hundred members
wearing the Jubilee button On our streets is
an advertisement worth great DEAL
Every citizen should be proud to wear
one of these souvenir buttons Remember,
the only way to get one is through men,
bership in this organization Think of the
great pleasure you will get from the picnic
and get-together which will be held yearly
from now on. These memberships and but
tons are to be obtained at, the William NJ
Smith agency. We hope YOU swamp him with
applications.
Word was received Friday from the j.
b. Rogers Producing company that their
director will be here July % and start work
on the pageant. That evening all committee
members are to come to mass meeting to
receive their full instructions in the work
they are to perform.
We will need over 200 people for the
cast in 'Redwoods Parade of Progress and
welcome volunteer applications now. Your

the talent committee, or at either the Gazette
or Sun Office will be great help and much
appreciated.
We will also have wooden money

gives you wooden nickel or dime with your
change don't haul him in for counterfeiting,
because this will be legal tender in any store
in the city
You get nickel or dime which is worth.
