AUTOISTS TAKE WEEK END TOUR

TO In the neighborhood of 'one dozen auto loads of week-end excursionists from Gary, who made up the caravan. which Journied to the farm of Gov. Warren T. McCray near Kentland yesterday, were disappointed when they found that the state's executive was not there. The run was made' under the auspices of the -HoosierStato Automobile Association. A telegram from the governor the night before stated that he had made arrangements to be at the farm for the dav. Another tele gram received yesterday morning stated that executive business would intervene, and with regrets stated he would vie unable to be present. Following a picnic. dinner in the spacious orchard, the Lake county autoists were shown over the stock farm by obliging attendents. Besides several hundred other registered cattle, they sav Romeo, the $35,000 bull raised by the governor. Due to many Lake county auto race fans leaving for Indianapolis today to attend the 500 mile race tomorrow, lnterferred with many making the trip yesterday. Boy Scout Column DECORATION DAV PARADE The other evening a Scout Leader was asking a group of Scouts how many of them were going to march in the Decoration Day parade? Practically a-U of them agreed to, except one (boy who said he would if he got up In time. Tine leader asked hfcm to stop and think what kind of a country we would have if the Veterans of '63 had taken that attitude during the Civil War so he agreed to be present. It is so seldom that tht boys or grown up people, for that matter, are asked to publicly show their respects for the men who huve died for the welfare of our country, that it seems almost disloyal, when a person refuses to take part in sveh an event as the ot-c.rvance of Et-ccration Day. There are a few goo-i excuses, but so few that they could re counted on three finders. C7ns-riu -ntly. it is expected tha. nearly every boy who Is a Scr.ut in Hammond will be present in tile parade on Tuesday morning The Scouts are tu assemble at 9:00 A. 51., tomorrow morning on Sibley srel facing State Line. They will be headed by the Drum and Bugle Corps and will form in rotation of numbers of the troops. All troops with 75 per cent, of the numbers ot their total enrollment, will be permitted to carry their own colors. The parade will ttart promptly at 0:30 and will proceed down Hohman street to the cemetery where the Soouts will be d'Mnissed. The Woman's Relief Corps will present V. S. Flags to the troops who have not their colors. These fiigs will be presented to the troops at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning as they form in line. The flags will not be presented nless a full repreKtntation of the trcop is present. EVu ery Scout should be In uniform if he has one. SIMMER CAMP Vaughn Parry, is the first fellow to register for summer camp. The registration fee is 50 cents. Scouts should register at once 'because some fellows are going to find the camp filled when they finally decide to go. Scouts who register first will have preference as to periods. Those who wait till the last minute will have to take what Is left. No boys will be admitted to camp who have not registered at least three days before the period starts in which they wish to come. This Is necessary in order to properly plan for the housing and feeding at the camp. The camp committee have secured the services of Mr. John F Conley of Wheaton, 111., as Assistant Camp Director. Mr. Conley is a married man. 28 years of age. He has spent a number of years in public school work, was a Scout Executive for a period of one year and a Scout Master for five years, an officer In the army during the World War and Is an expert swimmer and life saver. Last year" he conducted a camp in Wisconsin and was very popular with all the boys. The camp committee have in view another very capable man for that staff tout cannot announce until we know definitely that he Is coming. Mr. Robert Wilhelm, Assistant Scout Master of troop 8, who is now attending a University in Chicago, will also be on the camp staff. A Junior Staff composed of all the Eagle fcouts and a number of the older leaders who are especially qualified will be used for the purpose of giving instructions, and "assuming responsibilities around the camp. This means that every boy who attend camp this summer will be glv en ample opportunity to pass all of his tests from tenderfoot to Merit Badge Rank. All boys must have passed their tenderfoot tests and be active, regular Scouts in order to attend camp. Inasmuch as all the scouts have to be 12 years of age no boys under that age will .be eligible.

BILLY MA1NES REVUE AT "Toot Sweet" the overseas show that was produced by the Twentyj seventh division in France and proclaimed to bf the biggest hit that the j boys had on in France will be played by Billy Maine and his big musical Vompany at the Orpheum today and tomorrow. Special French settings picturing the haunts of the American doughboy after the armistice in France set the piece off In ptrfect fashion. Billy Maine who plays the chief comedy part as "Pvt. C. C Pill draft ed from Arkansas was the type one of whom could be seen In nearly every company and who did his fighting by scrubbing pans and pouring "slum" In other words, a "per manent" K. P. There are some parts of the show which may seem far fetched to the ordinary Individual but to the man who went overseas it Is all pretty real. It is fun from the moment a captain begins taking pills, life history because of a lost service record until the end. "The Ghost of thS World War" introduces the charac ters in the prologue of the play and sharing honors with Billy Maine Is Marie Maine, who has absorbed the perfect atmosphere of the little cafe madamolselle who served the "Non Volstead" beverages that made the lonesome little villages bearable to the "Soldat Americalne." Rudy Winter as Captain Knowlt who does all of Pills "thinking" for him. is very good at reminding Pill constantly that he Is "in the army now' Lawrence Hager- as the M. P. shows no mean ability, and we might Incldently mention that Mr. Hagerisone of the 55 men that have been honored with the award of Uncle Sam's highest medal for exceptional brav ery "The Congressional medal of Honor." There will be no ropes around the best seats saying for officers only, and another Item that will interest the bucks is that one of their rank is the big end of the show and a captain figures only as a necessary evil. "Toot Sweet" goes over the top today and tomorrow and if you can not see the first two shows, then as late as 9:40 will allow you to see the last attack. Fall in! IX M E.MORI AM Jack B. Jackson, who died four years ago January 28th, and Frances Jackson, who died one year ago yesterday, May 28th. Two little angels now on high. They hand In hand together roam; Two links now bind us to the sky. Two fingers beckon us to come. Lord, give us strength our loss to bear. And liad us in the heavenly way; Oh! may we meet our children there In realms of everlasting day. Mr. and Mrs. Adrlen B. Jackson,

FLANDERS POPPY DAY

L On Saturday afternoon and evening the streets of Hammond resembled the fields of France and Flanders so thick were the beautiful silk poppies sold by the Ladles Auxiliary of Foreign Wars, on the breasts of men, women and children, for it was hard to find anyone without them, the idea of wearing them as the memorial flower for this year being eagerly accepted by nearly every one. It is hoped that all who purchased them will wear them on Decoration Day, and in order that none may be without them on that day they will be offered for sale tonight and tomorrow at Norrls' Pharmacy, 192 State St., Summers, S62 Hohman, and Nelson's, 634 Hohman st., and by young ladies with overseas caps and V. F. W. arm bands on the streets this evening and tomorrow morning. The sales up to Saturday night reached nearly J700. the greater part of which will go for relief purposes to local exservice men and their families, only the mere cost at wholesale going to the women and children of France who made them, contrary to the propaganda spread by an organization opposed to the purposes of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Tie Ladles' Auxiliary desire to express its appreciation of the generous response by the people of Hammond to so worthy a cause. One of the larger poppies will be placed on the grave of every service man buried in the local cemeteries without regard to what war in which they served, by the Veterans and their Ladles' Auxiliary as a tribute from them.
