jSqV Tcntures
The announcement that the far
famed Ringling Brothers and barnum
& Bailey Combined Shows are to ex
hibit at Sioux City, Wednesday, Aug.
31st, has aroused no end of interest.
It would seem as though practically
all the youngsters and 'grown-ups in
this section were planning to. attend.
Twice each day for almost two
months New York's great Madison
Square Garden was packed with those
who thronged to see this biggest pro
gram in circus history. They -nw
scores of the jungle's most feiocious
beasts, subjugated to such a degree,
that these beautiful animals leaped
to and rode on the backs of elephants
and horses, jumped through hoops of
fire, opened their mouths that their
men and women trainers might lay
their heads and hands inside them, or
leaped from pedestal to pedestal like
trained dogs. And these marvelous
dumb actors are all on tour with the
great double circus. The four im
mense steel arenas in which they per
form are set up in the mammoth
main tent. There is no additional
charge everything is on the one
program. And by "everything" is
meant not only the wild animal dis
plays, but trie entire circus. More
than COO men and women, enilnncinf,
the world's foremost arenic stars,
tnke part. There are almost 100
clowns. Aside from the forocious
beasts, the program includes thirty
trained eleplinnts, Troupes of cam
els perform in the rings. There are
five companies of trained seals, many
dogs, boars, monkeys, pigs and pig
eons. Fully seventy trained horses
and shetlands are presented. It is the
biggest circus program the world has
ever seen, given under the largest
tent and in connection, is the famous
combined Ringling Bros, and Barnum
& Bailey menagerie.

ALPH0NSE WAS ON HIS WAY
Under the Circumstances He Naturally
Felt the Call to Duty Was
Imperative.
"Alphonse." said the heiress, "I
have been seriously thinking."
"Thinking of nu
precious?" asked
Alphonse.
"Indirectly, yes.
I havo been think
ing that If you
married me, every
body would 6iiy
you only did so In
order to get my
money and control of my property."
"What do I care for tho unthinking
world ?"
"But, Alphonse, I will marry you."
"My own ilnr "
"And I will not hao people say un
kind things about you, so I have ar
innged to give my fortune to the mis
sionaries. Why, Alphonse, where are
you going?"
Alphonse paused long enough on his
way to the door to look back and mut
ter: 'Tin koIiik to be u missionary."
BRAIN MATERIAL TO SPARE
Apparently Nature Has Provided Man
kind Vyith Moro Thinklnfl Material
Than Is Required.
Thu World war gave unprecedented
opportunities for the study of Injuries
to tie brain.
Then wero Instances In which Indi
vidual fighting men lost as much as u
teitcupful of brain substance without
Impairment of their mental faculties.
Extraordinary!
The reason Is not easy of explana
tion. But apparently nuture provldos
us with more brain material than we
need to think with, nnd we can spare
quite a bit of It without serious conse
quences, unless some essential struc
ture be entirely-destroyed.
Is compression, In childhood the skull
may be squeezed all out of shape with
out harmful result. The Flnthead In
dians do that, and so do ubo'riglnal
peoples In other parts of tho world.
But even u clot of blood, duo to cere

Farm Riircau Field Notes
About two dozen pure-bred live
breeders, representing Dakota, Thurs
ton and Dixon counties, mot at the
City Hall at Emerson last Friday to
discuss the advisability of forming nn
association of pure-bred breeders of
the thrco counties. Every person
present expressed himself in favor of
such an organization nnd sot forth
such advantages as co-operative ad
vertising, tho holding of co-opcrativo
sales, the building of a sales pavilion,
exchange of stcs, etc.
A temporary organization was
formed nnd a committee appointed to
draft u constitution and by-laws. A
meeting to make this permanent and
to plan tho work for tho association's
activities during the' fall and winter
months is called for tho City Hall in
Emerson at 2:30 p. m., Saturday, Au
gust 27th. It is hoped that every
oreeder from the three counties will
be present at that time.
Mr. "Nick" Ryan, the popular
druggist of Emerson, surprised those
attending Friday's meeting with hot
cofTce, cheese and ham sandwiches,
and cigars. Evcryono loft feeling
this to be n token of welcome to the
town.
Sickness is present in the horses
on a few farms near Jackson, Being
of an unusual nature, local veterina
rians have had trouble to copengainst
the disease. Dr, A. II. Francis,, of
the State office of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, was called to see
one of these cases. He is of the
opinion that the disease is Botullsim,
which Is due to the animul eating
some feed on which the germ exists.
