MAGNIFICENT PARADES
FEATURE AT NO-TSU-OK
BEAUTIFUL FLOATS WILL PASS
THRU STREETS EXEMPLIFYING
ALL THEY REPRESENT.
THE AGRICULTURAL PARADE
From An Educational Standpoint the
- Agricultural Parade Will Lead the
Week, With Possible Exception
of Historical Parade.
W. A Lee left ^Thursday for
Houston where he' has accepted
a position.
Dr. J. G. Horning, who has
been in Houston for several
months, is in the city.
A parade will feature every day of
No-Tsu-Oh week in Houston. Some
will lead in splendor and gayety, and
others in exemplifying the agricul-
tural and - economical advantages of
South and Southeast Texas, but all
will be beautiful.
Experts are designing the gigantic
floats that will pass through the
streets ’midst the cheers of thousands
and the music and melody of many
bands.
The agricultural parade will repre-
sent twenty-five counties surrounding
Houston, and on each the principal
products of • each section will be at-
tractively displayed. An artistic
scheme of decoration will run through
every float No product or group of
products will be shown in their bare-
ness. Float makers are using all their
ingenuity of embellishment to present
them as naturally as they are grown,
but with added features of decoration
that will make them interesting to
those who are only attracted by art
and beauty.
*
From an educational standpoint the
agricultural parade will lead the week,
with the possible exception of the his-
torical parade, in the pageants.
Almost everything that grows will
be represented—thus showing the
wonderful fertility and diversity of
soil as well as the unlimited possibili-
ties in ths raising of fruits and truck.
The counties in the extreme southern
part of the stats grow practically all
of the fruits and truck grown in tropi-
cal climates..
There will be many visitors to Hous-
ton from all over the country besides
those who come annually for No-Tau-
Oh. They will have a first-hand op-
portunity to see what a great variety
of choice fruits and vegetables may be
raised on soil In Texas that is selling
st flO to |M an acre. Many not so-
ft uain ted with Texas believe that cot-
ton and cans are ths only products of
this section, and It la not uncommon
Is hear tourists marveling when told
at the possibilities here.
The advertising advantages of such
s display hre not to be measured in
words or writing. Nothing could he
better and the twenty-five counties
taking part in this exhibit are doing
everything to excel the neighboring
Bounty for the big prises that are be-
ing offered.
The agricultural parade will be held
Wednesday afternoon.
The exhibits will show dairying, cot-
ton raising, cane growing, fruit and
vegetable/growing, the proper meth-
ods .of harvesting and handling of
crops and countless other features,
adequately and prettily explained.
Many of the counties have asked for
double the space they had last year
because they have benefited by its ad-
vertising and they will put double the
effort behind It to make It a success,
yst last year’s Industrial parad# was
something the association was highly
proud of.
Preceding the agricultural parade,
the historical parade will be held.
This will be Tuesday afternoon. Prom
the standpoint of beauty It will vie
with the flower parade which is to be
held Thursday afternoon. Everything
of a historical value to Texas will be
portrayed. The historical parade will
be one of the most beautiful pageants
of the No-Tsu-Oh.
Tbe Mardl Gras features in parades
last year are being dropped for the
historical pageant. In this new at-
tempt the committee hopes to intro-
duce something that will make a de-
cided hit The floats are being con-
structed along precise lines in order
that they may portray with no exag-
geration, yet adequately, events in the
making of the 8tate of Texas that are
dear to Ks natives.
The flower parade is probably the
most gorgeons of any. Hundreds of
dollars are spent each season in rich
decorations. A variety of coloring in
paper flowers and streamers combined
srith skillful designing always makes

the town of Valdes. Alaska. This gla-
cier, situated between mountain
masses several miles away, has proved
dangerous in periods of long sunshine
when great masses of Ice sometimes
fall to tbe ground, releasing tons of
water that had been held In pools
and ponds on the glacier. The water
rushing to the town picked up trees
and bowlders on the way, often doing
considerable damage, as in 1911, when
108 structures were carried to the
ocean. United States army officers
conceived the idea of preventing the
recurrence of such floods by the con-
struction of a dike. An appropriation
was made by congress and the dike
formally dedicated. The dike Is in a
general U shape, so constructed that
the town lies within the arms out of
reach of the water. It Is 7,600 feet
long and six feet wide, constructed of
earth. During flood times guards pa-
trol the dike, ready to' give warning

tive of the week.
The Shrlners’ parade will take place
Friday afternoon. Patrols from San
Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth, Dallas
and Shreveport will be represented.
All will bring bands. An effort Is also
being made to get Oklahoma City to
enter. Well drilled men In brightly
colored uniforms of different charac-
ter will be seen in tbe procession and
no one parade of the week will have
^/nore muaic.
A Traveling Men’s parade is expect-
ed to feature Saturday, Traveling
Men’s Day, although all arrangements
have not been made for this event.
Many traveling men will be here, but
whether they will take part in an in-
dividual parade ha6 not been decided.
The best bands in the state, and one
outside of the state, are being engaged
for the parades A committee Is ex
pected to go to the San Francisco ex-
position for one of the famous -bands
there. If successful they will have so-
cured a band that has played to thou-
sands since the exposition opened.
Ignorance of the 61 Me.
One thing Is undeniable. Knowl-
edge of the Bible is far lees general
now than it waa In the day* of my
childhood. That a maxing familiarity
with the sacred book with which John
Richard Green credits the- people ot
.England In the days of the eommon-
pweaJth, had persisted until ay bop
hood among the sons of the Puritans
and the Scotch-Irlsh In New England
and In New York state. It waa not
universal, but It was general- The
kind of testa by which college stu-
dents and students In secondary
schools are frequently. In these days,
made to display an ignorance of the
Bible which is astounding, could have
been passed with credit by the ma-
jority of country boys and girts sixty
or seventy years ago. But this thor-
ough acquaintance of earlier genera-
tions with the Bible was not due, to
any considerable extent, to the public
school. All that we learned about tbe
Bible In school would have added very
little to our store of religious knowl-
edge. It wax in our churches and our
Sunday schools, but chiefly in our
homes, that most of us learned what
we knew about the Bible.—Washing-
ton Gladden, in the Atlantic.
8ome Family Tree.
Sir Watkin Williams Wynne, talk-
ing to a friend about the antiquity of
his family, was told roughly that he
was “a mere mushroom.'’ "How lp
that?" he asked indignantly. "Why,”
said the other, "when I waa in Wales,
a pedigree of a particular family waa
shown to me which filled more than
live large parchment sklna. and near
the middle of it ^ as a note rr tbe
margin: ’About this time the world
aa created.’”
