Btood up on his chair to look over the long line of khaki clad boys of the 150th as they came marching

down the street, their steel helmets

gleaming in the sun.

It was enough to make anyone

think three or four times before he

picked a fuss with those men, and they were only a small part of what we were sending and would

continue to send.

A glorious sight it was, watching those fifteen thousand soldiers,

sailors and nurses marching past, with splending bands playing all the time, and with airplanes flying overhead along the whole line

of march, doing nose dives ana loop-the-loops, and "all the things you wanted to do, just to express yourself, but couldn't, and from

time to time giving a BUdden swoop downward, coming so close to the house tops that some people almost ducked their heads, tiiey Uiouut

the planes were so close above them. Decorations'Gay and Effective. Everywhere were flags! And the streets along which the parade progressed were' brightly decorated gleaming white columns and white standards bearing beautiful new flags, our own splendid flag chiefly, though everywhere the flags of our Allies could be seen flying. The Circle was decorated the most, having great columns with golden balls on top, and many flags in these balls. At on place on the Circle, there was an Arch of Triumph, which was closed by a silken cord. This cord was cut by veterans of the Civil and Spanish-American Wars, as the march

ers approached it. At the same time girls danced around the arch tossing roses to the soldiers. Not far from this was the court of the Allies, which was also bordered with white columns. Here were large and beautiful flags of all of our Allies, and when the soldiers marched through this, school chil

dren danced lovely little dances, also' throwing flowers to the soldiers. ' ':' On the white standards which hold two large American flags were banners which said, "Welcome Home Indiana Victors," First Honor Given to Dead. At the first of the parade, was a caisson "(a little cart which was used for carrying ammunition, and which was often used for carrying

the bodies of the fallen soldiers to

the cemetery) draped in black and covered with an American flag, which silently expressed what ev-

Conor is given to tnose comraaes who did not come back. This feeling was deepened later as the 150th Field Artillery (Indiana's contribution to the Rainbow Division) came into view bearing a large, beautiful silk service flag filled with gold stars, and marched past, the crowds on either side, silent. Whippet Tank a Feature. Though it was true that the crowds cheered the loudest for the Marines and the soldiers of the 150th Field Artillery, they gave hearty applause and cheers to the soldiers of the other Overseas Divisions, many of whom displayed almost as many gold chevrons as these that we have named first, and to the men who bore several

silver chevrons who were forced to serve, without realizing the greatest glory. These other divisions

and batteries were the 334th and the 151st Infantry, the 325th Field

Artillery. 84th Division, 139th Artil

Bless her heart! As if every day wasn't "mother's day" to the child who becomes a "pal" of his mother and understands even in just a little way how his mother loves him, and how much of his world she fills! But it makes us all especially happy that there is a special day set apart to honor the dearest person in the world Our Mother. Tomorrow is "Mother's Day. Each Junior can think up some special way to make his mother nappy. Help her and make her have a restful day. Stay home with her, talk things over with her, show in every wnv that vmi can. how vou love her. and make her have a hacDV day.

Words are useless, aren't they, Juniors, to exrpess such a thing as the love between you and your moth-:

ers? - , .. Let us make tomorrow a very, very happy day for everyone, Just because we feel so glad that such wonderful people as our mothers really live. And let's make every day, a mothr's day by helping her a great deal, and by loving her a great deal more than that.

biles were full of wounded soldiers. Two "whippet" tanks rolled along in the parade, still dressed up in their camouflage dress, of zigzag

stripes of yellow, and blue and black. They were small and went along easily, and looked very much

as if they certainly could accom

plish all the wonderful things they

have accomplished in this war. Many of the "tin hats" of the 150th were also camouflaged. Boy Scouts Prominent.

Everywhere the Boy Scouts were

seen, and always they were busy. They wore bands on their arms

which read, "Special Police Wel

come Home.

, They were on active police duty until the parade Btarted, after which their time was divided between keeping the people back on

tuti curbings and giving the hot and thirsty soldiers water. The scouts acted . quickly and kept at it, until the parade was over, performing praiseworthy service.

LUMBER JACKS Winter-time is busy-time in for

drawn to water, so the white sea

panies bid against each other for

the services of the fearless felows -mostly Scandinavians and French Canadians who follow the dangerous calling known as "logging." The telling of trees is no child's play. Strength is needed to swing the axe or thrust the saw; Judgment and nlmbleness are requisites when dodging a down-crashing giant; fearlessness and dexterity are essential when riding the logs down stream or breaking up a JamLogging camps are busy, interesting places. They are maintained by the various companies who operate in the woods, for bed and board must be furnished every worker. Enormous quantities of

food are consumed by the husky men whose 'appetites are whetted

and abbreviated trousers tucked into high-laced boots, a band whose

onslaught soon annihilates the great dishes of steaming meats, po

tatoes and beans, the mountains

of biscuits and cookies, and the tanks of tea and coffee prepared and served by the camp cook and his perspiring satellites. After sup

to the camp's merriment during

the long evenings

Canada bids fair to soon have a

monopoly of these lumber camps, for the logging industry In the States is fast dwindling. Take any given section in northern Wisconsin or Michigan where in the eighties or nineties flourished a dozen camps, today you will do well to find two. The reason is that most of the standing timber there now is too far from water to make logging a paying business. On the other hand, Canada's 600,000,000 acres of timber lands are threaded with such a network of waterways tbatj the profitableness of logging Is insured for many, many years. The timber of Canada embraces

Junior's Greeting Last Tuesday the Junior Pat ladlum received a real birthday greeting from a Junior reader. It was a pretty birthday car with many kind wishes written on it. We will let the Junior publish its own birthday greeting. This ia what it was: "Dear Junior Palladium: Many happy birthdays to you. May your pages grow and prosper in the wealth of entertainment for the little ones and big ones. May your readers grow to love you and may your and our dear editor keep her place and help to make our Junior better, Love, ' A Junior. The editor hopes that all this lovely greeting will "come true." WHAT I SHOULD LIKE TO DO THIS SUMMER. I should like very much to go

camping this summer. I should like to go about twenty-five miles west

of Richmond by a little stream. I

would like to fish most of the time.

I should like to have a dog along with me for company. I haven't any so I will have to be content without any. I have a cat but he would not do.

What I Shall do This Summer. I think I shall stay in Richmond

this summer. I can fish in Morton Lake as well. I will go to the ball games this summer. I shall

have as good a time here as I will camping.
