Saturday, May 23.)

That the Barnes county Play Day
picnic, parade, and pageant was the
biggest and most successful enterprise
ia public nature ever seen in Valley
City or Barnes county, is apparently
the concensus of every one of the
thousands who were here Saturday
for the big event.
For more than nine blocks the big
procession wound through the streets
starting at the Normal bridge, north
on Fifth avenue to Front street,
thence west to sixth avenue, north to
Eighth street, west to Fifth avenue,
south to Main street, east to second
avenue thence to the Normal grounds.
The parade made a most imposing
spectacle. First in the line of march
came four horsemen, representing
various activities of the city and coun-
ty. They were E. H. Swanson, chief
of police; D. S. Ritchie, president Of
the Barnes County Fair Association;
James w. Nelson, secretary of the
Commercial Club, and T. w. Burck-
halter, one of the directors of the Play
Day, and parade marshal.
Next in line were Minnie J. Nelson,
county superintendent of schools, and
with her in her car, was L. S .Platou,
mayor Of Valley City. Miss Nelson's
car was handsomely decorated in yel-
low bunting.
The Normal school band, under the
direction Of Prof. Perfect, with Pro-
fessor Selden as drum major, led the
main procession, and gave teh school
new advertising with it's splendid mu-
sic. This was followed by the Over
land car, advertising the Palace Cafe,
and then the children of the Ritchie
school, with eight auto loads OF
youngsters. Each car bore banner
of the school.
The Lincoln school was next in line
with seven auto loads. each car carry.
ing a banner with one letter of the
school name on it. The High school
was represented by two auto loads
followed by students marching.
The first float in line was that OF
the Northwest Nursery company
with a beautiful display of trees, ex
employing their business. During the
marc hthey distributed tulips thrown
by young girls. Other display floats
and marchers were as follows:

THE WEATHER..

There are those who even now say,
that it is "getting too dry" and begin
to look fearsomely at the sky for por-
tent of blistered crops and drought.
If it rains, there are some who fear
the crops will be drowned out. But
the great majority of farmers and
business men who are watching con-
ditions, look for one of the best crops
that North Dakota has had in many
a year
