TO INCREASE CADET CORPS.

THE Old Press, How We Love It.

Nat G. Barter, of Pleasanton,
Kansas, is described as "grim and
gray" in the newspaper business.
He is q survivor of the hand-press
days. Here is his latest prose
poem:
"The old press, how we love it.
When we open our office door at
6 a. m, it greets us with smile
and says to US, ready for duty
When we wet its blanket, it offers
US more efficient work to repay US.
We lay the form on its bed and it
carries the burden withouta MUIR
muir. Why, then, should we not
love it? The types, with their
pleasing and familiar faces, re-
mark to US: I will preach yon a
sermon, tell you a story, relate a
poem, crack q joke, speak of a
wedding and its happy nuptials,
or give to the world the words of
coincidence as our dear ones de.
part from this life.' Love the old
printshop-why not? Our boy
hood days were spent in it, and
since the year '53, we have been
one of st. and ST has been one
of US. God bless the old types
and presses, we expect to stay our
allotted time on earth with them,
and a pleasing epitaph to our
memory would be: He loved his
types; he loved his presses; he
loved all their associates; he was
q printer and a journalist who
strived to do his whole duty, and
to do it WE'LL

Crowds Going to the Circus.

An unusual degree of local in
terest has been aroused by the
announcement that Ringing
Bros. famous big circus is to ex-
hibit in Shreveport, Monday, Oct.
6. Several big excursions will go
from this vicinity, and local peo-
pie will be well represented at the
big show. Those who go from
here should make every effort to
arrive in time to see the magnifi-
cent new street parade, which
takes place in the morning pre-
ceding the opening performance.
The procession is divided into
thirty enormous sections, each of
which is q complete parade, and
presents in its entirety q bewilder-
ingly magnificent two-mile carni-
nival of pageantry, such as the
world has never seen. In this
gorgeous display are shown over
100 beautiful dens and cages of
wild animals, 500 horses, 80 ele-
plants and nearly q thousand
people, and the costumes through
out are of the finest silks, satins,
and cloth of gold. The perform
ance that follows is the most mag
nificent arenic display ever pre-
sented by any circus in America.
It is entirely new this year, and
its novelty and magnitude have
created q sensation wherever the
show has exhibited.

Be misunderstood and subjected

y! The experience may not be
pleasant, but that is a small mat

own conscience can certainly af-
lord to let people think and talk
