entrance of King Ak-Sar-Ben XII into his
capital.
While the triumphal procession OF
Wednesday night had rivals in the indus

flower procession OF Thursday, II was
really the concentrated essence OF the
glory and brilliancy of the carnival. In
the JOY of welcoming the new sovereign,
the loyal subjects outdid themselves at
the first real opportunity they had of
giving assurance OF their devotion. The
other parades were given over to an tx-
position, one of Industrial advancement
and the other of the beauty and artistic
development OF the city. 1t Is natural
that the devotions of the people should
lead them to give greatest attention to
tho features that marked the coming of
the king.
And so, when from all over the realm
the loyal citizens turned their faces toward
the capital city of Quivera, IT Is no wonder

advance made in the last fifty years 1t
showed the prairie village become a vast
city, with varied interests. trades and In

the procession made its appearance on the
streets the sidewalks were BLACK with peo-

treat. When the pageant did appear 1t
was to worm its way between two solid
banks OF faces that lined both sides UI the

When the people saw and comprehended
the wonders that were being unfolded be-

They saw before them a panorama of The
Industries that make up a great city. One
boat devoted to the exposition OF the manu-
facture of candy was followed by another
showing shirts in the process of manufac-
