young people WHO repeated I'll uhl'
son the words: Here comes the
flag of your country, please remove
your hats That was the keynote
Of the day, .c;erence for the flag
Of our country ana no one who
saw the beautiful floats and turn
outs yesterday could doubt that the
spirit Of devotion to the flag and
what it stands for was strong among
US.
Following the children was beau

and development OF the flag, deco.
rated by Mrs. c. II, Church. II
was a work of art and was award
ed one of the prizes for the floats
Behind the float came our veter
ans, proudly and bravely walking
in spite of the heat, like true sol
diers. They carried the flag they
had defended in stress of battle
and not a head remained covered
as they marched along the street
Many floats and original turn
outs followed, all of them of dis
tinction, notable among them be
ing the float decorated by the Won
en- of Woodcraft, which was award
ed the first prize in the float class
AS there was no other turnout
from a traternal order, the com
mittee decided it would be better
to enter all floats in one class and
Faward the first prize to the most
beautiful float, instead of awarding
the fraternal order prize to the
Women of Woodcraft without any
competitors, There were many other
floats that deserved recognition, es
pccially the pioneer float entered
by the ]. c. Penny company II
really deserved a prize if there
had been a prize awarded for com
mercial houses.
The float representing the thir-
teen states, decorated with so much
care by Mrs. ]. P. Hart, was also
charming and it is too bad that
there was not money enough tc
reward every float of merit. The
effort to add to the spirit and beau
ty of the day was everywhere ap
parent.
When it came to judging the kid,
die cars, the committee had a
mighty hard time and scratched
their heads in bewilderment as each
succeeding child passed before
them. 1t was a sight long to be
remembered those tiny tots in theil
beautiful costumes walking like {
bunch of butterflies along the crowd
ed street. Many an old eye dimmed
and many a lonely man thrilled al
the sight. And all the clownish fig
ures! Who could fail to enjoy the
scarecrow, the fire cracker, the cou
pie with the goat and little Sherwin
Garside, who sweated down the
street under the weight OF ban
ner twice his diminutive size. And
who failed to get a thrill out OF
the sinister figure of the Indian
scout with his long black hair and
shining eyes-a real touch of the
vanishing west, this figure. The
boys with their burros and bicycles
and the little girl with her Dutch
costume and the beautiful little In
dian maiden all added their touch
of charm to the parade
The committee had an equally hard
time to select the most beautiful
window display. There were &c
many that shovel distinction that
1t was hard to choose between them
but two stood out from the rest
with such marked beauty that the
judges were not willing TO choose
between them. These were the
windows of Ringers, where little
, living models represented Betsy
Ross and Thomas jefferson, and The
Victory Sweet Shop where a little
glimpse of fairly land was caugh
in sugar. A tiny house, made all o
candy just the kind that every lit
tie girl has dreamed of, no bigger
than the toad stool that stood be
side 1t, was a tribute to the skill
and heart of the candy maker WHIT
fashioned It.
Mention also should be made c
the beautiful display of deer head
