In awarding the prizes, the num-
Der OF pupils in line and the dis
tance from which they came were
considered.
Following the rural schools came
the Talmage band, an organization
Of youthful musicians. The bass
drummer was too small to even lift
the big drum and had to have 1t car
ried ahead of him. The float car
rying the kindergarten pupils and
teachers was a source of enjoyment
to everyone along the parade route.
The Boy Scouts marched In soldier
~ fashion. The Dayton band fol-
lowed. Then came the Mckinley

boards in anticipation of graduation
next spring. The Abilene band clos
ed the line Of procession.
The Automobile Parade.
The automobile parade Of decor
ated cars was pretty sight. All to-
gether over 500 cars were in the
parade. The decorations showed
much work by the contestants.
One of the most attractive and
the most unique cars was that Of
Henry Kloyer, south OF. town. The
hattleahip Kansas steamed mp the
al~s. d. .-s "
street in fine style. The ship was
made of corrugated rubberoid roof
ing and completely covered the body
Of the car. Kansas University PEN
nants steamed from bow to stern.
A sailor lad was aloft in the rig
yings. The ship had a whistle that
made people look for the ships
anding. The car took second place
IN the contestants from south of
he river.
Rev. J w. DeYoe's car was a
mass of green asparagus clippings
Ind carnations. The body of the
ar was mixture of green and
White, the wheels decorated in cir
les and the whole car a striking
light. White doves graced hood
nd windshield. Five persons were
n the car.
G. A. Madden's car took the first {
rize for the cars north of town. :

'hite bunting as background and d
'immed with sheafs of goldenrod. a
our were in the car. ;:
The rigging managed by w. He'd
ok and Charles Gore was a hit Il
herever it went. A good old buck
oard automobile with a barrel in
ont as a hood and livestock in the
lck seat as excess baggage, and
liver and a mechanician dressed in
cary Willie attire, made the car Il
object of unusual interest. M
Clio Woodward drove, with his a
ct, his amazing car. A bicycle at "

ent makes and had he been able ~
go fast enough he could have run n
er somebody without their know
3 it. He was runnerup in the n
mpetition. "a
Herbert Eicholtz's car, "A Bunch
Daisies" took the first prize for u
