The babies were sweet. Their
mothers were sweet. Their attend
ants were sweet 1t was the sweetest
thing ever seen in Salem-the big
Cherry Fair Baby Show and Peram-
bulator parade that ended at noon
today. The skies wore their prettiest
baby blue, trimmed with fringes of
lacy white clouds. The court house
square was surrounded by a border
Of humanity, numbering into the tens
of thousands. There was not an ac-
Cident, hitch or break in the pro-
Ceedings.
Chas. Yannke and VIM. Ramsden
were the mounted marshals. Fred
Rice, Alb. Magers, Jas. Wilson, VIM.
McGilchrist and the city police were
grand marshals.
There was continuous cheering and
applause as one sweet revelation af
ter another came into view and the
proudest man of all was Chairman
Sargent, who had worked up the
show. 1t has been the greatest fea-
ture Of the Cherry Fair so far.
The U. S. National bank capped the
climax by giving every baby entered
in the contest that did not win a
prize a $1.00 credit savings bank
account. About 200 were entered,
and about so got prizes. The money
can be drawn at any time.
The babies themselves acted their
part we'll, and created no disturb
ance whatever, and if they had there
Il f,y af
ent under Chief Hamilton himself to
have quelled any incipient Castoria
rioting that might have been under
taken. Not baby had to be taken
off the grounds.
A number of the boy babies swiped
cherries off their perambulators, but
all the girl babies were well behaved.

clined kids beat time to the strains of
the Little German Band Some made
their own music.
