tlie same game that she ean lie
gefjerally trusted to go through,"
said >eoalor Williams to his
demorratir colleagues. “You can

■s..tile measure* of that uwotn
j«etency has lieeu referred to
hititerto in stones |Miinting errors

blundering. Mistakes in other

Surely, if the country is so “pros

development of “war orders,” that

stocks.
The federal treasury statement
ior Saturday, July 17, showed a
balance of $71,051,288.96 in the
general fund compared with $120,
133,585.69 on the same date two
years previous, under republican
laws. The deficit for the first
15 working days of the new fiscal
year was $13,142,587.94, showing
that the administration is running
l«ehind at the rate of $876,000 per
day.
The amount of building in
Chicago the first half of 1915, as
indicated by permits issued, was
*37.000,060, against $44,0<M>,000
for the corresponding j»eriod of
1914. This is a pretty i>oorshow
ing for a city which in 1911 ran
above $100,000,000 in its building
exjienditures and in other years
has been more than $90,000,000.
Heal estate transfers for the first
half of this year foot up $56,000,

half of 1914.
The local merchant pays his
taxes in this town and assists

AND THE YOUNG MAN SAID:
•
What Must I Do to Be a Booster?
What Can I Do to Help Loup City?
One man voted not to have street lights because, “1 never
go out at night anyway.”
One man argued not to remodel the school house because,
“My children are all grown up now.”
Another man discouraged the proposed City Library be
cause, “1 have a good one in my own house.”
And still another man voted to give no money for fire pro
tection because, “My property can’t bum; it’s vacant lots.”
But some men said: The streets are dark, let’s put up
lights! The school house is crowded, let’s remodel it! Folks
ought to read, let’s have a library! There’s danger of fire,
let’ s organize to fight it!
These same men said: Our children are delighted with
the Chautauqua entertainment. Our young people enjoy the
music. We are all inspired by the lectures.
It’s good for us all. It’s within our reach. Lets have it!

Circus at Grand Island.
The Barnum and Bailey Great
| est Show on earth, which comes
I to Grand Island on Monday
i August 2nd claim to present this
year “A Circus of all Nations,"
meaning one that is filled with all
j new features shown now for the
I first time and presented by 480
j world-famed artists who represent
; every nation in the world. The
entire world has been scoured by
sjiecial Barnum and Bailey agents
so that practically all the arenic
stars that are really worth seeing
take part.
The time-honored custom has
always been to refer to each suc
cessive year's circus as “bigger
and better than ever,’’ but the
phrase has become so hackneyed
that,this year, Barnum and Bailey
hesitate to use it, despite the
fact that it adequately descripes
the entertainment. More railroad
cars are required to transport the
show, bigger tents are raised, more
area is needed to accomodate the
show than ever before. In fact,
the circus has reached a point
where it is the despair of many of
the smaller railroads and taxes
their facilities to the limit, for
eighty-five cars are needed to con
vey the gigantic canvas city from
town to town.
There’s material enough in this
year's circus to make a dozen cir
cuses of the old days. A “big
top” 680 feet long, nearly 1,500
employees, three rings, four ele
vated platforms, acres of aerial
apparatus, the biggest stage ever
erected for ad ramatic presentation,
a 110-cage menagerie, 750 horses,
forty elephants, a street parade
three miles long.
Among the novelties offered
\ this season are the “Six Riding
| 1 lannafords, ' “The Paldrens.”
! balancing, pyramiding and head
jumping on the tops of burning,
lamps.- “Pallenberg's Wonder
: Bears,” “Adgie” and her den of
I nine performing African lions,
j Barnum and Bailey statue horses,
I Madam Bradna’s Angel Horses.
| Three great herds of war elephants,
| trained and shown by the first and
only lady elephant trainers. Be^
sides these, are 60 aerialists, 60
acrobats and 60 clowns.
A wonderful prelude to this
great circus is the presentation of
the new, magnificent spectacular
pageant, “Lalla Rookh’’ in which
more than 1,000 characters take
i part. Everyone should get an
j early start on circus day in order
to be there in time for the parade
which starts at 10 a. m., and which
I is said to be three miles long.
One of the largest threshing
machine manufacturing concerns in
the entire country has made ar
rangements for a superb exhibit
at the next 'State fair. It is be
lieved that other large companies
wi[l follow the example and secure
space. One of the officials of this
threshing machine concern declared
that the implement men had lost
money by failing to exhibit in Ne
braska last fall, and his company
had decided to make an up-to-date
