Friends Arrange Centennial Program

The Friend of Indiana were among the first religious people to establish their churches and educational institutions in the state, and these institu tions had much to do with the development of the best phases of Indiana's history. The Friends of today are proud of the part their forefathers played in the state's history, and intend to celebrate their achievements in connection with the Indiana centennial. A committee of Friends composed of C. M. Hobbs, of Bridgeport, chairman; the Rev. Thomas Brown, of Plainfield. Milton Hanson, of Westfield; the Rev. Morton C. Pearson, of Indianapolis; Mrs. Lenora Hobbs. of Bloomingdale; Mrs. Lydia Taylor Painter, of Mooresville, and Harlow Lindley and W. C. Woodward, of the centennial commission, met at Indianapolis Friday to arrange for the Friends to participate in the Indiana centennial celebration. Date of Celebration. It was decided by the committee to ask the Western Yearly Meeting of Friends to appeal to the 106 churches in the meeting to hold local observances of the centennial on Sunday, October 8. It is the plan on this day to have each congregation listen to an address on the chief events of the history of the congregation. Some of the Friends congregations are old and cover nearly the whole period of the state's history. The facts gathered by each congregation will be placed on record with the chairman of the Friends centennial committee. It is LIFE OF MAIL BAG IS ONLY SIX YEARS According to the report of a recent inventory of mail equipment of the United States government wrhich has been received at the post office, the pouches which are used daily to transport the United States mails would reach from Boston to , San Francisco and out into the Pacific ocean. The number of bags in use is something over 5,000,000. Through efforts of the postoffice department the prices of the bags has been reduced from $1.70 to about 80 cents. The life time of mail bags is I about six years. After a bag is worn too much to be repaired, it is torn apart and the good parts are mads into what are called pieced bags. This is a recent practice of the department and the figures presented in the inventory show that about $10,000 a year is saved. HOLDS WATER CARNIVAL. That another water carnival will be held at the Hawkins bathing beach was indicated today by. Manager Parker, who said a number of inquiries about such an event had been received.

ALL WAYNE COUNTY GIRLS, ATTENTION! YOU MAY LEAD CENTENNIAL CAVALCADE

The most impressive plan that has yet been launched in connection with the observance of the centennial, has to do with County Day at the forthcoming state celebration in October. It is proposed to make of October 6 a grand tournament of the counties at the state capital. A unique processional pageant is planned in which each county is to represent by float or otherwise, some distinctive phase of its history and development. The real thriller, however, has been arranged in the centennial cavalcade of the, counties. 'Leading the vast procession will come ninety-two young ladies on horses, commanded by Miss Indiana. Each lady is to be chosen by ballot in the county which she represents. The uniform price of votes throughout the state is to be ten cents, the funds derived thereby to defray the cost of the county of its participation in the processional pageant. It is. announced by the county day committee that the young lady whose county casts the greatest aggregate vote, in proportion to its population, will be accorded the great honor of representing Indiana at the head of the cavalcade. Her closest competitor in the local contest will represent the county. To represent one's county in this thrilling spectacle of a century will 033
