Indiana Odd Fellows to Have Big Time In Indianapolis.

A mammoth demonstration of Odd Fellows, is to be held in Indianapolis the week of Sept. 18 to 23. It is hoped to have an Odd Fellows parade with at least 20,000 in it, and it is expected to have 100,000 visitors in Indianapolis during the week. The grand lodge of the state is already making great preparation for the meeting, and booster literature is being sent to every county. The state is divided ipto districts and each district has a chief marshal and several assistants, and each county also has a marshal. C. E. Simpson has been designated the county marshal for Jasper. The principal duty of the county deputies is to encourage members to attend the meeting and parflbipate in the parade, w*hieh it is hoped will excel the big Odd Fellows parade of 1901. The booklet telling about the parade indicates the number of Odd Fellows that will be expected to attend from each county, and Jasper county is down for 100, and Mr. Simpson will not be satisfied unless he gets that many to attend, and he is starting early to pledge them to go. In 1901 there were 53,387 Odd Fellows in the state, now there are 83,000, and this booster meeting is to be the starter for a membership of 100,000 in 1919, which is the 100th anniversary of Odd Fellowship in America The program for the week will keep all members busy and a grand time is in prospect.
