The Fireworks Display at Fair * (Continued from page one) In addition to the exhibition de-, vicey. there will be hundreds of aerial and ground displays each evening. These dfSplays cost the association a neat sum of money, but the desire of the officers of the Northern Indiana fair is to please, and the}’ will make every effort to give attendants at the fair 100 cents' worth of pleasure for every dollar spent. The exhibition device will c onsist I of “President Harding." "Jazz Band Frolic,” “The Quail Hunter.” Gold and Silver Wheels.” "Sea of Fire.” “Old Glory,” "Niagara Falls.” "American Rosette.” “Barnyard at Mealtime,” “Colors of the Allies." "The Twin Eaglets," and “Pandora’s Jeweled Cornucopia." All of these will be given the first night. An entire change will be given the second evening, and so on through the week. The fireworks display alone is worth the price of the evening admission. and with the many other features on the grounds there will be no let-up in the entertainment line. Get ready to attend the fair all week, and write and tell your friends to do the same. The North American Fireworks company is the best concern in the country putting on displays of this kind.

He has been an auto racer ever since. Boyer is thirty-one years old and | has been married five years. He is ’the father of two children, both boys. . Joseph Boyer 3rd and Francis Palms . Boyer. Boyer is also a business man —being interested in a well known adding machine company of which his ■ father is a dominant figure. The most humorous as well as pathetic event in Boyer's rat ing memory :is one and the same. It was the sixicent check he was awarded as the ’winner's share of a co-operative race Jield at the Cincinnati speedway sev- ! eral years ago. Art Klein, who was I second got three cents. Boyer frankly admits that the best thirll he ever had on a race course was his spec■tacular duel with Ralph DePalma in i last year's 500-mile race at Indianapolis. Racing is not profitable says Joe, i but he should worry. He knows no fear in racing and if he had it to . over again he's step into the little J Cornelian thftt started his racing adi venture.

May 11. — Harry Greb. prominent light-weight : “Carpentier is by far the best opponent the champion has ever met but he does not impress me as being sturdy enough to withstand the rushes of Dempsey. I have seen the Frenchman in action and have worked with Dempsey. The champion should topple the Frenchman within three rounds. Carpentier's only chance is to score a one punch knockout in the first few seconds. A body crusher and left to the jaw will finish Carpentier.” WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD Yesterday’s hero —Babe Ruth. He knocked his ninth homer and cut off two runs with brilliant catches in the field, the Yanks beating the Tigers 2 to 1. Hornsby’s four hits out of four times up—two singles and a double and triple and his spectacular fielding helped the Cards beat the Giants 7 to 6. Schultz and Young got homers. Alexander returned to the game after being out since opening day and the Cubs beat the Phils 6 to 2. Dutch Reuther turned the tables on the Cincinnati Reds, the Brooklyns beating his old team mates 6 to 3. Bagby and Caldwell were batted from the box and Washington whipped the Indians 9 to 7. Boston celebrated “Maranville Day" and the Rabbit celebrated it also by winning the game almost lone handed for the Pirates 15 to 2. Red Faber’s fine pitching enabled the White Soxs 4 to 1.

The Annual Convention i (Continued from page one) placed the responsibility both of spending and saving in ths hands of the women of the nation. American thrift, like any other American ideal, must begin in the home. We. the women's organizations. with their splendid facilities for stndy, their influence as leaders in the communities must accept the responsibility for carrying it there. The old Fauntlery home, in New Harmony. Ind., the birthplace of clubs, j should be purchased and reverenced by Indiana women. So club women, there is much to do and I wish you all to carry back to your clubs the reports that will be given you today, as organized, we can accomplish much . The following Decatur ladies, attended the convention, going by auto or train, but all came back in machines. arriving in Decatur early in the evening: Mesdames O. L. Vance, D. B. Erwin. J. C. Sutton. J. S. Peterson. C. A .Dugan, J. W. Tyndall. Mary Congleton. C. L. Walters, Carrie Haubold. L. A. Holthonse, C, V. Connell. J. F. Arnold, F. E. France, F. M. Schirmeyer, James Elberson. Jessie Deams. and the Misses Grace Arnold. Mathilda Berling and Nellis Blackburn. Mrs. L. A. Holthouse, of this city, who sang at the convention, pleased the ladies, and the Portland Republican says of her: “A refreshing bit of entertainment occured this morning when May Niblick Holthouse of Decatur sang a j group of songs. Mrs. Holthouse has I a wonderful voice. It is the pride of Decatur . She sang. ‘I Bring You Heartsease' by Brandscombe; ‘Cradle Song' by Alexander and ’A May Morning' by Manney.” , j The convention next year will be ■ I held at Elwood, the club ladies of (that ctty having extewded an urgent; j invitation.

LEGION ROLLERS UNDER THEM Ex-Service Men Promptly Halt E» ploitatione of Pro-German Troublemakers. In response to the warning issued by their national commander, F. W. Galbraith, Jr., American Legion members in many parts of the country have been active in fighting against efforts of pro-Gertxians aud other hyphenated persons to drive a weilgo between America and her allies in the World war. Twentj-five thousand patriotic citizens of New York attended the “All American Meeting for God and Country," which was held in Madison Square Garden under the auspices of the Legion, as a proteat against a previous pro-German meeting, said to be for the purpose of Creating sentiment against the allefeed “Horrors ou the Rhine." When word was received in Philadelphia that Dr. Edmund von Mach, notorious German propagandist, was planning to hold a meeting in that city, Ixsgton members and other patriotic citizens opposed the proposition and succeeded in blocking the scheme. Similar action was taken by the Legion and various societies in Indianapolis. Among the organizations cooperating with the Legion was the national executive committee of the American Gymnastic union, composed of a large membership of citizens of German extraction, which insisted upon unhyphenated citizenship and scored Von Mach and George Sylvester Viereck. On the same day the Indianapolis board of public works announced It would not permit the use of its large convention hall for the proposed Von Mach meeting. Learning that Louisville was on the proposed itinerary of Doctor Von Mach, the Kentucky department of the Legion Instructed posts to use "every lawful means practicable to stop the threatened invasion of Boche propagandists.” The Kentucky Legion’s bulletin also warned against the activities of Viereck. I.egion posts have also opposed tlie hyphenates in Chicago, Cleveland, Omaha, Cincinnati and Milwaukee.

THREE VOICES AT ONE TIME Minneapolis Legion Man Can Sing Tenor, Bass and Baritone Parts Simultaneously. Wonder voices have been heralded the world ove.. at least since the in-

ception of the press agent. But It was left for Joe Kaufman, a for mer army sergeant and an American I.egion member in Minneapolis. Minn., to sing the first male trio simultaneously, carrying the parts alone with the same harmony and control of three singers.

I ik

Kaufman Is a government music student The secret of Kaufman’s unusual accomplishment has baffled voice experts as well as himself. Several years ago he discovered his ability to produce overtones which gave the sound of more than one part. He entered the MacPhail school at Minneapolis as a government student and, as his voice strengthened aud became clearer, he developed the curious trio. The only case remotely similar to that of Kaufman, according to his Instructor in the government school, is tliat of a woman singer in whose voice could be distinguished one separate overtone, over which she had practically no control. The former soldier in some way has separated and. controlled tenor, bass and baritone parts simultaneously.

LEGION MAN BUSY WITH B'S Buckeye Boy Bends, Bows and Bor. rows Bad and Beautiful Bonus Boosting Babble. "Apt alliteration's artful aid” was r.ot neglected when an Akror (O.) member of the American Legion spun the following bonus yarn: "Burt began to bitterly berate Hie ‘bull’ about the bonus bill,'bewailing the benighted bigotry of the belligerent birds, badly blocking the bonus . by bombastic Wusterlngs and brable, ' and branding the busted bucks who bore the brunt of the battle as bad- j gers and booty-biirglars of billions In bonds, believed by big, bald business 1 brow-beaters to belong burled in ’ banks. “Before our bewildered Burt boarded a boat to become a battle-scarred ; vet beyond the borders of our bright. , beautiful, big country, he became a benedict; and, back from the battles, busted and barren of bullion, our be- ■ nighted boy hero became beautifully ' bored because big bibulous bunco men breathlessly built a bunch of backhand lies to bribe him by a bunk | promise of a bonus. I “But Burt isn’t badly brow-beaten . by the bedraggled babble of a bonus. I Blythe, buoyant and bubbling, biding his time, v Burt, 'the benedict and battle buddy,’ and Beulah, his bride, be- I lleve the bully and bumptious idea : that a beneficent bunch of birds will be ■ brought to believe that big battles beat the Boche and busted bucks need bread; and before beaucoup belated i years pass a bonus bill to bring the 1 bacon back to our buddy, Burt. -

The crack Os army: rltles will be heard in the- famous; structure, for it has been turned over' to the Hj’de Park post, No. 34, of the I.egion lu Chicago, as an Indoor rifle range. The large edifice, known as Ute old Field museum after the World’s fair, was evacuated, with the completion of the new Field museum. Various organizations of Chicago immediately besieged the park commissioners for permission to use the building, but the Legion post’s request alone was granted. Legionnaires now have a rifle range de luxe, one that will tend to erase the veteran’s memories of sweltering days, shivering days and . cold, moist days spent Ift trying to locate the bullseye on the army's outdoor firing points. The building is so large that a 200-yard range was established without difficulty, along with the shorter distances. GETS MONEY FOR W. A. A. L Hungry Rooster Proves Gold Mine for Woman’s Organization in Kansas., -How many grains of corn will a terribly hungry rooster eat after he has missed his meals for five hours? Th© Plymouth Rock in the photograph tucked away 283 grains in record time and made $328 for the omer-.’s Auxiliary of the American Legion in Cimmarron, Kan. The bird was placed in a chow window on the main street in the Kansas town. For five hours he scratched and crowed for provender, which v es not forthcoming. Then 1,000 grains of tempting, yellow corn were spread before him. Guesses as to how many grains of corn it would tfife to ascuag' bis hunger were sold at ten cents each. In three hours Ar.

In all, he netted $328, a fraction more than $1.15 for every grain’ of corn he ate. Mrs. Lelah L. Klein, national executive committeewoman from the Kansas department of the Auxiliary, handled the contest. One of the most active workers for the Auxiliary in her state, Mrs. Klein .was educated in Wellesley college and in the New England Conservatory of Music. Her husband, who was a captain in the medical corps, was gassed in the Ar gonne-Meuse offensive.
