man is "Skipper" Jimmie Whalen,
who looks after the destinies of the
big-top that is this season housing
the arenic program of that stupend
ous super-circus which hav been
formed by merging the biggest an,d
best features of America's most fa
mous amusement institutions.
Yet, great of voice as Whalen is.
he is unable to make himself heard
at both ends of the mammoth can
vas pavilion. So taking up his po
sition in the center of it he issues
his commands through a mega
phone. The enlarged main tent has been
made necessary because of the im
mense size of the acts now intro
duced. The arenic program is the
biggest ever presented. The enor
mous and dazzling introductory
pageant enlists more characters,
wonderful vehicles and more horses
than have heretofore been intro
duced in any production. Some idea
of the stupendousness of the main
tent features may be had when it is
ANAWA PARK, more beau
tiful at this time of the year
than at any other, continues
to attract crowds daily, as it nears
the close of the most prosperous
season of its history. The flower
beds at Manawa park are in full
bloom, the lake is clear, with beau
tiful shore lines, and every evening
sees beautiful sunsets to make it
even more beautiful.
Dancing and boating are crowd
ing bathing off the stage for popu
larity as the season draws to an
end, but picnicking, one of the most
popular pastimes at the resort, con
tinues to hold its own. The free
motion pictures every evening are
drawing hundreds.
Dinner parties at the - Manawa
cafeteria have been more popular
this season than ever before, and
thev are becoming more numerous.
Out-of-town automoUiles parties
have many tables reserved every
evening. With the roads in good
condition, big crowds are expected
today.
Aviator A. T. Nielsen will resume
his flights over Manawa park and
lake this week. Each evening ne
performs stunts which, even in this
day of advanced aviation, are rare
ly seen.
Art Smith's band will give out
door concerts this afternoon and
evening, while Lee's orchestra will
furnish lively music in the dance
pavilion.
Living up to its claim of being the
"home of picnics," Krug park an
nounces a picnic for every day this
week with several of the largest of
the season to take place. Among the
most important will be the soldiers
home coming celebration given by
the city next Wednesday. The cele
bration will be in the form of an
official welcome-home day for men
returning from service and will in
clude a big athletic program, free
lunch and free admission to the park
and its concessions. The celebra
tion will last during the afternoon
and evening.
Thursday the local order of Elks
will hold their picnic at the park,
which they have designated as the
Elks ladies outing. The same after
noon the encampment of I. O. O. F.
with their families and friends will
gather at the park and picnic as will
the favored ones in Uncle Henry's
Trolly party an annual affair given
by Uncle Henry de Long of Council
Bluffs.
Saturday the Modern Woodmen of
America and the Royal Neighbors of
the Second Congressional district
representing over 10,000 will hold
their annual picnic at Krug park.
The usual races and contests which
stated that there is a single elephant
act which embraces six times as
many pachyderms than have ever
before been presented in one group

at Twentieth and Faul streets, Fri

each week, the popular Lakeview
still comes in for a goodly share of

Thursday, August 27, when the firm
will entertain their employes and
friends with a picnic and outing at

to allow their many patrons to
share in the pleasures to be afforded.
Another outing of some consequence
will be that of Boyles college, to be
held on Friday, August 28. This
affair will be held under the aus

Truck Buyer Wants to
Know the Factory Well
In addition to considering design,
workmanship and materials in se
lecting a motor truck the wise buyer
looks also at the organization be
hind the truck.
"For in buying a motor truck,
there are a lot of things to be con
sidered in addition to the merits of
the truck itself as a transportation
unit." says Lee Huff of the Ne
braska Buick Auto Co., local deal
ers for GMC trucks. "Purchasing
a motor truck is not like buying
many other staple articles, because
a truck requires attention through
out its entire life and necessitates a
careful watch, on the part of its
maker, as long as it is in service.
That is, such follow-up is needed if
the truck buyer is to get the proper
results from his purchase."

America's FIRST Farm Truck
Built for Country Roads :: Built for Farm Loads
Patriot Trucks are built in one of the largest factories in the United States devoted
exclusively to the production of . Motor Trucks, and are sold on the basis of actual per
formance. v The attitude of the Hebb Motors Company and of every one of its distributors is identical
."Our interest only begins when we deliver the truck."
Another reason why the Patriot is the logical truck for the western buyer is the fact
that the Patriot factory is located within eas y reach, outside of the freight-congested manu
facturing centers where quick action can be secured, if service or repairs should ever be
required.
