- 4th PARADE
Local Organizations and Hoys and
(iirls Form Main Marching
Units.
—
The Fourth of July parade develop
ed into a Red Cross and agricultural
preparedness demonstration and was
an important feature of the day.
Headed by the Spanish American
war veterans with the hospital squad
of the local miiltary unit next in line,
the Red Cross first aid unit and chap
ter members made a fine turnout. First
aid members wore arm bands to desig
nate their division. Fine banners call
ing attention to the Red Cross mem
bership campaign were in evidence.
The children with rakes and hoes,
and the boy and girl scouts and kid
dies in costume had a division all to
themselves and drew generous compli
ments.
The parade would have been more
extensive under better weather condi
tions. Pausing in front of the Coleman
house, the various units lined up and
sang the Star Spangled Banner and
America, copies of the verses in full
being distributed to the crowd by the
boy scouts. 9
Annie Laura Munro won the first
prize for the cutest dressed girl, she
being togged out as a little musher
with a pack, and Robert Osborn Saw
yer dressed as a farmer and wheeling
a barrow load of green hay, was first

wedding Tuesday evening when C. H.
Cordell, a prominent employee of the
San Juan Fishing and Packing Co.,
was married to Miss Hannah Mane
Gustafason, also of Seward. Com
missioner Ennis officiated. About fif
teen guests were present. The mar
riage of Miss Gustafson and C. H. Cor
dell was made novel by the fact that
it was the first ceremony held here to
require a license. The young couple
will make their home here.
