BARNUM q BAILEY METHODS.
Successful Way in Which the Great
Show Is Advertised.

The coming visit of the Barnum 6
Bailey Greatest Show on Earth to this
city fresh after its unparalleled tri-
umphs throughout Europe, ought to ar
rest the attention of every business
man.
The public already knows that this
last of several visits to foreign lands
made by the Barnum & Bailey Show,
has been its longest and greatest. 1t
has been for FIVE years in Europe, and
1t has been a revelation abroad Of
American magnitude and merit. Per-
haps nc other one element has entered
more largely into the enormous in
crease Of American foreign trade-and
this is said in all seriousness. This
fact is likewise a reminder Of the fur
Their fact that the Barnum & Bailey
Show will very likely attract to this
town the biggest crowd that IL has
ever held. II is well known by those
who have ever studied the subject that
crowds who come to this town to at
tend a circus, come not only for a holt
day, but for marketing and shopping
as well. These crowds are drawn by
the reputation of the show, and that
reputation is made first by the stu
pendous scale upon which It is adver-
tised, and next by the exhibition itself,
The u%nthinking observer might inn
agine that the vast advertising Of this
acknowledged greatest show on earth
is superfiuous, but it's owner and con-
%troller, Mr.. James A. Bailey, is a bust
ness man, and invests his money only
where he sees n return. His BUSINESS
experience carried him through the ex-
perimental stage many years ago, and
he knows exactly what to expect from
every investment he makes, and when
he invests in advertising he does 1t
with the certainty that he is going to
get n return for his money. Now, IL 1t
Is necessary for such an enormous es-
tablishment, as large as Barnum &
Bailey-the Greatest Show on Earth
to advertise in the which 1t
does, how much more necessary is II for
business enterprises not so well known,
to ADVERTISED Indeed, the coming of
this show is an object lesson in adj
vertising that ought TO be seriously
considered by every business man in
this community, and the example II
sets in advertising is one which ought
to be followed by everyone thinking
to do business as a matter Of common
sense procedure. s
The date Of the exhibition of the
Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show will
be Wednesday, August 30, and this
hint TO the wise ought TO be sufficient.

Harrisburg, Pa Aug. l6.-The Dem
%oeratic state convention met here in
adjourned session in the Lyeeum thea
ter at noon, for the purpose Of nomi-
mating a candidate for the supreme
court. Chairman ]. X. P. Hall called
the convention to order and explained
the object Of the meeting. After the
usual committee had been appointed
the convention took a recess.
There is a strong sentiment in favor
Of endorsing John Stewart, the RePub-
liean nominee for the supreme court, to
follow the fusion with the independent
Republicans Of the state in favor Of
William H. Berry, on the Democratic
ticket for state treasurer. An effort
was made to induce the Democratic
state central committee to endorse
Stewart, but Chairman Hall ruled out
the proposition. AS there 10 no other
candidate of Importance in the field,
the candidacy Of Stewart will probably
be endwOrsed by the convention.

Hops Go Lower.

North Yakima, Wash, Aug. 1o.-
The prices OF hops are going lower as
tho season advances. A number Of the
big growers Of Yakima have lost mon
ey during the year. Three lots have
just been sold at prices ranging from
is to II cents. AS high as 81 cents was
offered last fall for some Of these hops,
but tho growers were holding out for
a higher price. e. B. Preble sold 100
bales to G. O. Mitchell for II cents.
Fred Alter bought the Evans lot Of 30
bales for 10 cents, and the A. W. Morri.

EARLY Corn Pays Best.

If you have a good market, early
sweet corn is a paying crop, writes an
Iowa farmer 1t can be planted thick
and an enormous number of ears
grown to the acre. l have had as high
as 1000 dozen ears to the acre, and it
generally sells at 8 cents to II cents a
dozen. While the latter sorts are
much bigger and sweeter ears, they do
not, as a rule, pay as well as the ear
lies. Plant Cory, White Mexican and
Early Minnesota. They will be done
and off the ground by the last part of
July, and you can get another crop in
after it. l generally drill sorghum in
between the rows when l lay it by,
and by the time the corn is picked and
the fodder cut off the sorghum is knee
high, and by fall will make several
tons of the finest of feed for horses
or cattle. We grow all our fodder for
the horses that way, in early sweet
corn and early peas.

AS a rule, a poultry house intended
to hold fifty or more birds is quite an
expensive proposition, for usually it is
designed with all manner of fiXings
which are costly without being partic-
ularly useful. The large poultry house
Is not generally desirable, and while
1t costs more to build two smaller ones,
it will pay in the long run by reason
of lower mortality among the fowls,
the ease by which they may be clean
ed and the added comfort in the man
ner of temperature. In response to a
request for a house of considerable size
the following plan is suggested Let
its dimensions be 16X20 feet. with six
and eight-feet posts, front and back,
respectively. Cover the roof and sides
with tarred paper or shingle the roof
if preferred. Have four windows on
the south side one east and one west
window. Divide this in two parts with
wire netting fastened to boards, which
come up eighteen inches from the floor,
Arrange double row of nests six feet
from one end of the house and place
drop boards on them, 50 that The eggs
may be gathered from the alleyway,

SONGS THE INDIANS SING.
Unwritten Literature of Aborigines
Should Be Preserved.

Unwritten Literature of Aborigines
Should Be Preserved.
One great avenue to better under
standing of the Indian is a compre-
hension of their songs, for songs are
to the Indian all that books are to us.
Songs and ceremonies are the unwrit-
ten literature Of the race. AS in
medieval times the deeds of heroes
and the chronicles Of peace and war
were sung by bards and minstrels, so
to-day in the festivals Of the Indian
the great events of the tribe are told
in song. Besides its important part
as the expression of the intellectual,
moral and spiritual life of the Indian,
song often accompanies even the most
menial acts of daily toll. Such songs
are special songs to fit the task, as,
for instance, the songs of the Pueblo
women while grinding their corn
l paused one day at the door of a
Pueblo house where woman was
singing a tiute-like melody to the
rhythm of her grinding.
Tell me-" l asked her, what are
you singing about?" The woman
paused in her work.
oh" she answered with a smile,
II am singing of the rainbow Garth,
who paints the heavens; Of the rain
that we long for; Of our growing
corn"
Such songs are gems of poetic and
meledeic beauty that would be valu-
able indeed in our American litera-
ture and culture. European musi-
clans, on hearing the Indian songs, ex-
claimed:
And you Americans are allowing
all this to perish?" You are stamping
out music unlike any other in the
world-whyW
Why, indeed for this music belongs
to our own land. Happily the preju-
dice against the Indian songs, as
against all things Indian, is waning.
Yet If we are to retain the peculiar
talents of this people, the schools must
foster in the little ones the gifts in
herited. The Indian will not work
less but more for encouragement of
the natural song impulses in him.
And such encouragement will help to
make him what we want him to be
that for which our young republic
stands-the workman with ideals

The seIf-sucIxing Cow.

Itsis not necessary to abuse cow
for this bad habit. Simply go about
breaking off the habit in a sensible
manner, which is readily done with a
little care and with the help Of the de-
vice here described. Take a strong
smooth stick about three and one-half
feet long and in one end of it fasten a
ring. Buckle a strap around the neck
of the COW and fasten a short strap
through the ring on the end of the
stick or pole with the other end
through the neck strap.
About eight inches from the end of
the pole, the end opposite the one in

which the ring has been inserted, bore
an auger. hole and through this run a
strong hard twine or leather and tie it
securely to a strap fastened around
the body of the cow just beyond its
front legs. 1t will be noticed that
while this device will prevent the COW
from sucking herself it is a safe at
tachment and if arranged as directed
it will be almost impossible for the
cow TO iniure herself with either end
of the pole. The illustration shows
the idea clearly.

Possess Clubrooms Open to Only tho

II have no doubt that people have
wondered when some crook caught in
the act and without friends in the
place in which he came to grief could
give bonds" said Frank G. Miller, an
ex-convict to a Journal reporter with
whom he had previously become ac-
quainted.
There is nothing strange about it."
continued Miller, "for we have an or
ganization for mutual protection and
this has representatives in every large
" and in some of the smaller ones
Of the United States and Canada. Usu-
ally in the smaller places these are
lawyers, and if the crook is 'pinched'
in place where he has no friends he
knows whom to send for.
Should the case be an aggravated
one and the crook in good standing
with the organization the amount Of
bond required is learned and the socle-
ty Is notified to send enough to square
a couple of bondsmen. The crook dis
appears, the bondsmen settle and tell
how they would like to bring the fel-
low to justice, while all the time
they are wishing for another job of
the same sort, for they are well paid,
and the lawyers get better fees for
looking after our business than any
ordinary practice pays"
Miller went on to say that the or
ganization had its regular officers, who
are better paid than those Of legiti.
mate societies, and that almost all OF
them are well respected in the coy'-
munities in which they live. Miller
stated that the amount paid for men,
bership and yearly dues was large and
that only square" crooks were allow
ed to become members.
When asked if they were not afraid
that their officers would emulate their
employers and rob the treasury he re-
pied that such thing had never oc-

If they should try to do us they
would have a thousand men keener
than any detectives on their trail and
that when caught no earthly noUar
could save them"
The crooks, according to Miller, have
their clubrooms in Chicago, New York,
New Orleans, San Francisco and sew
eral other cities. and he declared that
these clubrooms, or houses. are fitted
up regardless of expense. To be able
to use them, however, one must be-
long to the crook aristocracy and must
also pay extra dues that would make
the clubman of the cities blink.-Ohio

Hens VIII Lay in Winter.

From experience have learned that
we can have winter eggs If we work a
little for them. The hens must have
exercise and that is best obtained by
making them hunt their food or part
of it that has been scattered in litter
in the henhouse or some sheltered
place. Feed regular and not too much.
Better keep them little hungry than
to over feed.-Orange Judd Farmer.
