peditious. Property loss In Indiana towne estimated three to four mil

"A greenish black funnel, alanting at an angle of 45 degrees,
followed by a deluge of hail," waa the description of one thankful sur
vivor. "Black as midnight, moving faster than a train," was another
description.
At West Frankfort a five-day-old Infant aquawling In a perambu
lator, waa pulled safely from a pile of kindling that had been a home.
The mother nearby lay crushed. The number of frightful mutilations
and crushed limbs and the fact that in many cases wounds ground
full of dirt could not be attended for hours brought th spectre of
tetanus stalking In ths field.
Airplanes bearing all available tetanus anti toxin rushed out of In
dianapolis. Women at DeSoto took up a collection along the line of automobiles

L TO BE
BIGGER - THAN
EVER BEFORE
Plans Now Being Formu
lated Provide Many
New Features.
DATES NOT YET SET
Will Probably Be in Third
Week of May If Straw
berries Show Signs
of Ripening.
Plan for the annual straw
berry carnival are rapidly matur
ing, according to W. B. Day..
chairman of the committee which
has the event In charge this year.
The committee haa held aeveral
meetinga recently and the tenta
tive outline haa been adopted, and
the detailed work la now under
way. "W hope this year to' have a
bigger and better carnival than
ever before," Mr. Day atated. "and
are shaping our plans to present
a number ot new unusual features
If possible. It Is a difficult pro
position to find new things each
year to add to the program, but
we hope to have some interesting
features which (have never be
fore been presented and which
will give something different for
the entertainment of these at
tending the festival.
"In the first place we are try
ing to get a bigger and better
carnival company than we have
had In recent years. Wa want
one with more and larger attrac
tions and one with some of th
more modern amusements and de
vices. We are negotiating al
ready with several large compa
nies and have aeveral propositions
to consider.
"We are also considering sev
eral other attraction such as cap
tive balloon and other features,
which will provide entertainment.
Ae yet we have made no definite
selection, but are still Investigat
ing before we sign up contracts."
Mr. Dsy states that the carnival
queen contest will bo started with
in a few more days. The com
mittee In charge of thia event has
worked out several new features
snd the contest Is expected to be
hotly contested. The plan ot of
fering a grand prise for tho lucky
number in the contest will be fol
lowed again this year. Last year
a Bulck automobile was given
away, a number being given with
each vote cast for queen and the
lucky number being the one to
which the. prise was awarded.
The dates for the carnival have
not yet been definitely decided
upon, but they will probably be
May 21, 22 and 23. The commit
tee has been delaying the selec-
tlon of the date In order n he
sure that there would be plenty
ot strawberries available. It ap
pears at present that the straw
berrler will be ripe by that time,
but the committee will not an
noufe the dates positively until
a little later.
It wss desired by most of the
members of the committee to hold
the carnival the following week,
May 28, 29 and 30, but as the
last day Is Memorial Day, it was
not thought wise to schedule the
event for that week.

that the building will be ready for

The building as now proposed
Is believed to be arranged to give
the greatest possible efficiency,
and in view of the small amount
of money available for construc
tion purpose will afford the best
results.
The building will be built oa
the newly acquired tract ot land, t
known aa Bellows field. Just west
of Laurelwood. The building will
face soutk, fronting on th exten
sion of Chapman street. It will
be 153 feet in width and 134 teet
deep, and two stories in height.
It will be constructed ot concrete,
with stucco finish.
Twenty thousand dollars of the
bond issue will be set aside for
furniture and equipment, which
with the cost of the site and im
provements, architect fees, etc,
will leave about $122,000 for th
building. .
Roughly, the building Is to be
built around a large combined
auditorium and gymnasium.
There will be three corridors, one
paralelllng the front, and th
