and Tuscan, to do the high dive act
as one of the special features, even of
fering the enormous salary of 30 cents
a day to these daring high dive ar
fists to give one performance, but
learning that both gentlemen were IN
der contract to perform at Lakeside
park on that date, the managers of the
Kid show decided to do the high dive
act themselves.
In this particular line and is the same
lad, who, in a similar show, held last
year by the Kids of Maiden Lane alley,
dived from height of Is feet into a
pile of sand and incidentally broke his
collar bone. He is a most daring per-
former, and no doubt will do the high
dive act In as successful manner as
at last years performance provided
his mother will let him go on.
Another attraction that is being
looked forward to with great anticipa-
ton is the burial alive act of George
Seahammer, the renowned kid hypnot-
ist, whose professional title is SLEEPY
Bill" The interment alive of Sleepy
Bill under two feet of sand similar to
the burial Of Prof. Smith week ago,
will certainly draw crowds. Unlike
the Elks, the Kids will allow free
view of Sleepy Bill while he snoozes
under ground, the only provision being
made that the spectators do not throw
sand in his eyes or squirt tobacco
juice in his face.
Bob Calvert, the king of all high or
low wire performers, will be another
attraction. He comes all the way
from High st., and draws an enormous
salary for his FIVE minute act. Not
wishing to show the public that he is
q better performer than Granada, the
famous high wire artist, now exhibit
ing at Lakeside park for the Elks, Bob
has decided to stretch his wire only
21a feet above ground. He claims he
can give as good an act at this distance.
and will not make the spectators tired
| rubber-neoking up into dizzy heights,
where he customarily does his act.
His most difficult feat is walking along
the wire OH his hands and only occa-
sionally balancing himself by touching
the ground with his feet.
| A monster parade will be given in the
morning and all the old dish pans and
tin wash boilers in the neighborhood
are now being gathered To supply
marching music.
A rope will be stretched around the
vacant lot and the entire police force,
headed by Chief Anderson, will be on
hand to preserve order In the enor-
nous crowd of people who will at
tend.

An Akron lawyer is authority for the
statement that this treatment of the

Centuries ago, when the individual
found that his business was growing
too large for him to handle. he took a
partner. They formed a trust in a
small degree. Fifty years ago, the
partnership form of business began to
give way to the small corporation, as
business men found hat a corporation
afforded better facilities and protection
to their business. More recently cor
porations grew in size until we have
experienced the very large corpora
tons called trusts. In nearly every
case these are neither more nor less
than partnerships. the only difference
being in extent and degree. The in
crease in the worlds volume of BUSH
ness has compelled the growth from
the original partnerships to large cor
porations.

turns of the bank clearings for May

BIG FOREIGN TRADE.
That of Fiscal Year just Ending Larger
Than Any Other on Record.

Than Any Other On Record.
The foreign commerce of the United
States in the fiscal year which ends
with this month will by far exceed
that of any preceding year. Its ex-
ports will surpass those of any earlier
year by more than $3.50 .000, 900. and
its exports of manufactures will ex-
coed those of any preceding year by
more than SIS, 000. 900. Its imports.
owing to the demands of the manu-
facturers of the country for foreign
raw material for use in their industries
will also be large. Raw silk. a
featured fibers. crude rubber, hides
and skins. pig tin for use in tin plate
establishments. cabinet woods and
the finer grades of cotton and the
coarser grades of wool all show a large
increase.
1t Is in the export side. however.
that the year makes its greatest re-
cord. The total exports for the eleven
months of the year amount to s1,2S6.-
214,534, and should the June figures
prove as large as those of May, it
would bring the total up to $1.400.-
900, 900. or s17S. 600. 900 greater than
