Centennial organization has been started in nearly sixty counties of Indiana in which chairmen have been secured. Together these chairmen compose the grand committee. They are representative citizens of the state —busy men, already doing things worth while. In the list there are fourteen school men, including county and city superintendents, and others; iten attorneys, two judges, five men in general business, five bankers, eight editors, a civil engineer, a manufacturer, a physician, librarian, author, postal clerk, and two or three farmers.

Dooley, Rockville, Chairman of Parke county, and Miss Genevieve Williams of-Huntingburg, Chairman of Dubois. Both already have plans well outlined for next year's celebration in their counties.
