The committee in charge of the celebration anticipate that 250,000 visitors including soldiers, sailors, marines, nurses and welfare workers, will have place in the parade. Ample provision has been made for housing and feeding the largest crowd Indianapolis has ever Entertained. Twenty-one bands will be in the procession and stationed at places along the line of march. There will be 25 water barrels on various street intersection, 50 information bureaus, 20 rest rooms and first aid stations and the grand stands will seat 13,000 people excusive of private facilities for viewing the pageant. The official reviewing stand will be at the old Public Library, Ohio and Meridian streets. • Boy Scouts and high school cadets will aid in the maintenance of information booths and in policing the 48 city blocks which will be traversed.

The elaborate program arranged to emphasize the state’swelcome to its fighting men is packed with spectacular features. The Victory Arch, j at Meridian and the south approach • to the Circle, is practically complet- . ed. The monumet will be converted into a Court of Honor, and on north Meridian street will be the Court of the Allies, being a reproduction of the New York Victory Way. Fourteen beautiful Indiana girls will be stationed on pedestals to strew with flowers the path of the soldiers. Every factory, office and store will be urged to close for the day. A request is made by Governor J. P. Goodrich in his official proclamation in designating May 7 as Welcome Home Day, that -all business in the state cease on that day. The 150th Field Artillery will leave Camp Merritt, N. J. Monday afternoon in 50 tourist sleepers, and will be routed over the West Shore Railroad to Buffalo, the New York Central to Sandusky, O.; the L. E. & W. to Indianapolis, where the troops will be detrained for the parade, the Pennsylvania to Louisville and the Southern Railway to Camp Taylor. The schedule of the railroad administration fixes the arrival of the troop train in Indianapolis at 10 a. m. Military Park near which the men will detrain, and where they will remain until the. parade will be guarded by police and admission will be available only to relatives of the members of the 150th who hold tickets entitling them to enter. These tickets may be obtained now upon application at the temparary branch headquarters of the Rainbow Regiment Cheer Association at 102 N. Pennsylvania St. The same regulation applies to the families of members of Base Hospital 32, which will accompany the artillery unit. iMlajor General Edwin F.

THE OLDSMOBILE POLICY.

Not how many cars! How good? But so many cars! So good! il am showing the Oldsmobile-45, with a seven passenger touring body. This light has proved its mechanical perfection with several years of reliable performance. Power and speed characterize the multiple cylinder motor, but no other eight has approached this motor in accessibility and economy. This wonderful chassis with any of its comfortable bodies puts a new meaning to “pleasure car”. There is a different feeling altogether in the action of an eight. This car with ail the Oldsmobile appointments is moderately priced.

MINIATURE CYCLONE STRIKES

SUNDAY AFTERNOON TWISTER CAUSES DAMAGE IN RURAL SECTION. iAn eary afternoon electrical storm, accompanied by hail and a wind which approached a cyclone in its velocity, visited portions of the county, Sunday with the result that considerable loss was sustained by owners of property which stood in the path of the storm. Only certain spots were subjected to the storm’s fury and the county as a whole did not suffer greatly. The rain fell in a blinding tormet and the freshly plowed ground became a sea of mud. Reports from Mt. Ayr state that the town received a barrage of hail, the stones resembling the proverbial hen egg in size, which put practically every window pane in the vallage horsde combat. Aside from the hail, no damage was done. No doubt the worst damaged property was that of A. Quinn, who resides on the A. K. Yeoman farm about four mises east of Rensselaer. At that place the house was swept partly off the foundation and the window panes broken. The house rested at such an angle that the rain swept into the interior of the house, destroying practically all of the furniture. Mirs. Quinn became very ill following the shock and was taken to the home of Stephen Kohley onehalf mile east. At the Kohley farm a large silo was blown down and the barn was moved off of its foundation. The house escaped aside from some broken window panes. It is reported that McCoysburg, Moody, Francesville and Monon suffered damage, especially the latter place. Telephone lines between Rensselaer and McCoysburg and Moody are in such a condition ‘that it was impossible to get into telephonic communication with anyone at those places, hence the extent of the damage in those localities has not been earned. W. L. Bott owner of the Jasper County Telephone Co., reports that fhile the service has been impaired to some extent, that he anticipates no trouble putting hi slines in normal conditionly speedily. Apparently the storm confined its energy to this section, as metropolitan morning papers contained no news of damage in other parts of the state.
