One of the finest of Play Day pa
rades ever held in the city took place
Saturday. The weather was the fin
i est we have had this year and the
larger part of Valley City turned out
to witness the spectacle. ..
In all the parade extended over Is
blocks and was perhaps mile and a
half long. Some very fine floats were
shown, both in the automobile and
horse-drawn classes, all requiring
much labor and expense. It is esti.
, mated that 100 at least took part in
the parade, nearly all of which were
decorated in some fashion for the
occasion.
! Chief Swanson, on horseback, led
/ the procession. Directly after came
the mayor, Dr.. Platou, in his automo-
bile. With, him were Miss Minnie
Nelson, county superintendent of
schools, Rev. j. F. l.. Bohnhoff, the
newly-elected president of the Barnes
County School Officers association,
Martin Conlon, chairman of the board
of county commissioners, and Presi'
dent George A. Mcfarland, of the Nor
NAL school. Following this car came
the floats of all sorts. The long line
of automobiles brought up the rear OF
the parade.
I A particular feature was the horse
back riders who joined the process
sion. Ten young people, five boys and
five girls, from the high school depart
ment of District No. IL, led by Their
teacher, Miss Evelyn Smith, all rid
ing on matched horses, formed a note
worthy feature of the procession.
All the city schools and large

The Richie school had the mos

the Dove Of Peace. Paper chrysan

and thousands of them were used
The Lincoln school float was in tn
form of a log cabin. symbolical of tn
