What Can BE Grown

What Can he Grown in Harrison County.
The McHenry Banner, published in
Harrison county, says:
This section is the place OF all 9TH
ers for the dairyman, the cost of keep
ing cows being reduced to minimum,
while dairy products command good
prices. There is not an acre of land in
the county that requires irrigation to
make productive, and the rainfall is
ample for all purposes. Truck farming
is profitable in all sections Of the couu-
ty because OF the variety of products
that can be grown, and the nearness to
the best markets. This sun-kissed Sec
ton is tho land Of cotton, figs, oranges,
olives, bananas, as well as other products
grown in higher latitudes. Sugar
cane thrives here and develops fully as
in the bottom lands, if properly fertil
lied and cultivated. The methods of
converting the cane into molasses or
sugar are crude. and lack of proper
facilities is the only drawback to a gen.
eral development OF the industry"

And now come the famous Ringing
Bros. with the most astounding trained
animal advertisement OF tie century,
company of genuine comedy elephants
a herd Of great pachyderms, presenting
vaudeville speclalties and even complete
laughable plays with absolute fidelity to
truth and nature, and with an intelli.
gence never before exhibited in the
brute creation. In securing the won-
derful Lockhart comedy elephants, Ring
ling Bros. have indeed made a master
stroke. Elephant acts Of an indifferent
kind are more or less familiar to the
people of the United States, but, APART
from n momentary interest, they have
aroused neither curiosity nor enthusi-
asm. The conventional performances OF
these elephantlne troupes have had
neither the merit OF originality nor the
charm of novelty. Indeed, until the
Lockhart elephants appeared, it was
generally believed that tSe limit OF what
Guild be taught the elephant had been
reached. The Lockhart comedy ele-
plants have not only shattered all pre-
~vlously conceived ideas OF the possibili
ties OF animal training, but they are, and
will undoubtedly continue for many
years, the most marvellous instance OF
the power Of man over the brute creation
that history has any record OF. These
wonderful elephants do not go through
| their performance with the p~erfunctary
submissivenes SO apparent IN many
trBined animals, but they apply them
selves to the task OF entertaining the
vast audiences that daily gather under
| Ringing Bros mammoth pavlllons with
an intelligence, a sense Of the properties
| and a keen evidence Of humor that is at
once marvellous and delightful. They
work absolutely without urging,
seem to appreciate the Importance OF
their part of the entertainment and I'M
~mistakeably evidence their delight g
the audience breaks ont into long
continual applause. The repetoire OF the
