CALITHUMP! "TIS EASIEST THING YOU KNOW-WHAT? Puzzling Term on Fourth of July Program Made Plain by Old Mister Webster “What's a Calithumpian parade?” some Bismarck people have been ask- ing since the appearance of the post- ers advertising calithumpians as one of the*features ofthe capital city’s Fourth of July celebration. M..B., Gilman, chairman of the pa- rade committee, has had his time ta- ken up for the last week answering questions, Today he appealed to The Tribune for protection and assist- ance. The Tribune referred to Mr. ‘Noah Webster, and discovered that cali- thumpian comes from calithump, and that to “calithump” is to masquer- ade or burlesque or engage in buf- foonry. x A. calithumpian parade, therefore, is one in which the participants gar? themselves in ridiculous costumes and cut up all manner of capers, The field’s wide open, Entrants may Char- lie Chaplin it, or appear as native Americans in savage garb, or in clown suits, or anything else which may suit their fancy, so long as they are bizarre, grotesque or unusual, And, to make things more interest- ing, a prize of $5 is offered for the best performance; $3 for the second, and $2 for the third. The calithumpian parade is expect- ed to be one of the big fun-makers of the celebration. Entrants | may masque if they wish and may partici- pate in the pavement dances in cos- tume if they so desire. A colourful conglomeration of contraptions is ex- pected to add zest to the revels of the night.
