AT this point in our parade all the
business men and farmers of the county
are invited to represent their own
original themes and enter the parade,
merely getting in touch with the mar
shall of the day SO as to be sure that
the order of the study is correct. In
dividuals thus entering the gates will
pay admittance as on all other occa-
sions but will be eligible for competi-
ton in prize winning on equal footing
the same as the war-organizations
above mentioned. Since this is a war
workers parade, individuals thus COM
peting are urged to make every float
bear patriotic message.
AT the conclusion OF this parade,
verify at the tail-end of all festivities
cometh the Kaiser, properly chained
and carefully guarded. The Vigilance
Committee of Charlevoix, under lead
ership of its chairman, S. M. Rose, will
be asked to see that he is manipulated,
forced to witness all the gorgeous pre-
parations above described, and after
being dragged twice around the race
track following in the rear, that he be
then properly executed in front of the
grand stand.
Henry Cook of East Jordan will be
asked to be Chief Marshall of the day
and will be requested to appoint four
assistants in his work. The parade will
form at IL o'clock sharp, at the Carne-
gle Library Building, and work north
ward to the cemetery, until complete,
when it will proceed to the grounds
and march, walk, motor, go about the
race track two times while the judges
with all thought and due solemnity
shall review the situation preparatory
to awarding of prizes.
This brings us to the subject of pri-
zes. Yes, prizes will be offered but
that is not an important thing at ALL
Most of the above organizations will
care nothing at all for this idea. First
prizes w. S. S. Second prize w.
S. S. Third prizes w. S. S, Fourth
PRICE w. S. S. Fifth prize-1 w. S.
S. The key note to the entire parade
is war-work and results for the year
before us, and the prizes are incidental
merely to little friendly competition.
In fact few of the floats above men,
toned will not compete at all in the
prize winning contest. For instance
we could not judge Uncle Sam and his
attendants with any OF our own frail
ideas, and the appeal of the service
division is such that others could not
compete. The entire float of the
Spirit of '76 is provided in costume by
the costume house, so that we ere sure
that the Study Club will gladly furnish
this with its reputation Of stirring
popularity. Neither would the veterans
of the Civil War, nor their worthy
wives, care aught for competition in
their appearance amid our war-work.
The mothers of our boys, old soldiers
and w. X. &. will all enter free at gate
We are proud to make them our guests.
Others are urged to be association
members but we are sure at any rate
that the war-workers will abundantly
earn their admittance. OF all down to
the Boy Scouts no question will be ask
ed at the gate. They are all urged to
keep the float On the grounds through
out the afternoon.
