tention of the crowds today, and was
accorded every consideration.
Many Features.

numerous to mention. Every tot was
feature unto itself, but the decorated
buggies and go-carts proved to be

All Behave Splendidly.
Although prizes could not be given
to all, every baby in the parade was de-
serving of the highest praise. They be,
haved splendidly, and their mothers ond
fathers have good cause to be proud of
them. One man, a stranger in the city,
said:
81 have witnessed baby shows all
over the United States, but never be-
fore have | seen bandsOmer or health.
Ter lot of babies than those being dis
played in Salem today. Every one of
Penn was a Jewell and the capital Of
Oregon should be proud to possess such
a collection"
