NEXT YEAR ENTRIES TOPICS Enthusiasm Over Success of Jr'loral Parade Evident Everywhere. The artistic success of the floral parade Thursday has borne fruit al ready in the inspiration it has given many. Portland residents to prepare for cars to be entered in a similar parade at the Rose Festival in 1918. Miss Valentine Prlchard, who was one of the committee which worked energetically to 'make the floral procession the big success it was, yesterday said that a number of Portland matrons and busi ness men already had spoken to her of tf ' - AMERICAN WAR VETERANS. 3 TRIBE OP BEN HCR CHARIOT. ROYAL HIGHLANDERS DRILL SO.UAD, 8 EUGENE RADIATORS. their plans for next year, some having gone so far as . to contract for seeds from which to grow elaborate floweri for decorative purposes. Another point which has Inspired prospective entries for the 1916 parade is the fact that many of the cars were decorated by the owners themselves without the outlay for an expert flor ist's assistance. The touring car of Mrs. Helen Ladd. Corbett, which won first prize in Its class, was decorated largely by Mrs. Corbett herself, says Miss Prlchard, as were many other3 which made excellent showings. This feature alone, when understood, will bring many other entries to the Fes tival -floral parade next year.
