This year’s Fourth of July celebra- tion will by far be the most spectacu- lar, the most thrilling, and most en- tertaining program that has ever been attempted in Clearfield at any time. The Legion as an organization has always endeavored to give a dol- lar and a half worth of entertainment for every dollar spent by its patrons and it has never yet disappointed in a single instance to make the Fourth of July the one big day of the year not only for Clearfield but all the sur- rounding communities. As usual the day will start with a mammoth military and industrial parade. Legionaires have offered the follow- ing prizes as an added feature and these awards are bound to make com- petition keen for the different classi- fications that will be entered: Cup to the most beautiful and ar- tistic float, or exhibit. Cup to the float or exhibit best advertising the business represented. Cup to the most humorous float or exhibit. Cup to the best patriotic float or exhibit. Cup to the visiting Legion Post—having largest percentage of its membership in line. Cup to the best appearing Fire company. Prize to the organi- zation having the largest number of marchers in line. The Veterans reunion which is a part of the day’s program also prom- ices to be an outstanding feature of this year’s event. Many Posts from different parts of the State have al- ready accepted the invitation to be the guests of the Clearfield Post for this day and attend the celebration. Com- mander Vail has already assured the local officers that he will be present for the day. Reckless Johnson, the world’s great- est stunt balloonist, will be there to do many thrilling stunts in the air and will climax his act with a triple parachute drop from his giant bal- loon. The great Brown and Dyer circus, with twenty-five car loads of fun, mirth and merriment, will be on the grounds to entertain you with many new and interesting features. There will be rides for the children and spe- cial precautions will be taken to pre- vent any possible injury or accident to the little tots. After getting together the many features of the day, including the par- ade, Veterans reunion, dancing, horse racing, base ball (two games), band concerts, special attractions, vaude- ville and hippodrome acts, balloon as- cension, carnival and midway, and gigantic fire works display, the com- | mittee now have a job to schedule these events in order that the day will allow enough time for the entire program to be exhibited. John Lewis Shade Post extends an invitation to every Veteran, whether a member of the American Legion or not, to go and enjoy this great day with them and any Veteran in unj- form who participates in the parade in a marching body will receive a complimentary ticket of admission to the celebration. Bellefonte Ball Players Lost Two Games Last Week. The Bellefonte ball team must have lost its left hind rabbit foot last week. After winning the first four games played they dropped two in succes- sion. The Williamsport P. R. R. took their measure for a 5 to 1 defeat on Thursday and Lewistown turned the trick again on Saturday 8 to 1. But one man cannot play every instru- ment in a band and neither can any ball team win all the games played. Recog- nizing this fact there is no occasion to lose confidence in the Bellefonte team; rather give it more encouragement. If the people of Bellefonte and vicin- ity would turn out in greater num- bers at the home games it would stim- ulate the players to put forth their best efforts. Try it once and see.
