Circus Introduces New Methods of
Producing Laughter.

The European method of Glowing
laugh making features of the Adam
Forcpaugh and Sells Bros. shows
and great novelty is thus given to
this branch of the entertainment.
When this big circus exhibits in
Owosso on Wednesday, August 21st,
the greatest and funniest company of
buffoons ever organized will be pre-
scented. Any number of ridiculous
acts have been originated by the
American contingent as we'll as the
clowns of foreign school. When these
merry fellows enter the scene-there
are enough of them to fill the arena
the laughter is spontaneous and
prolonged. Fun is also created by
the ludicrous performance of numer-
Gus Undergraduates, prominent
among whom are the Donegan troup
of burlesque roller skaters, who can
bring laughter-tears to the eyes of a
wooden Indian. The Corhallas do a
grotesque horizontal bar act that is
followed by shrieks of laughter
There are three of these fellows
They get their feet tangled in the
guy-wres, fall on each Others heads
and land at the finish in a woeful
heap when the whole apparatus gives
way with crash.
The two Schrievers also do a COM
edy bar act. 1t is on a different
plan, but is just as funny. These are
only a few of the clever people who
supply the comedy element of the
performance The Glowing also ex-
tends to members of the various
trained animal groups, clearly dem
onstrating that a sense of the ridicu-
lous can be developed even in a sea
lion. A striking example of the ami
mal-clown is one Of Spessardy's train
ed bear family. The bear imperson-
realism of a sot and the fuss he
makes when deprived Of his bottle is
highly amusing.
The management of the Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Bros. shows
have succeeded in introducing so
much that is new and startling that
their performance Is an entirely new
form of entertainment. Riders, ami
NAL, trainers, acrobats, riders and
trapeze artists-all Of the 800 per-
formers-have something new to do
they represent the excellence of
European and American talent.
The parade this year represents
one million dollars spent in improv-
ing, enlarging and adding novelties;
the menagerie has been bettered by

nance, is the only entertainment of

ducts. to he held at Sacramento, Cali
fornia, next September, is expected tc
show the wonderful progress that has
been made in developing lands hitherto
unproductive for agricultural purposes.
Immense tracts of hitherto waste
lands that have been reclaimed by mod.
ern irrigation methods, have materially
| added to the resources of the United
States, and large interests have been
quick to see the possibilities Of these
irrigated lands in producing an excep.
tionally fine quality of various pro.
ducts.
The Pabst Brewing Company of Mil.
waukee, was among the first to appre-
ciate the possibilities of irrigating
lands for the raising of the finest quail
ity of hops. To stimulate the hop
growers to make every effort to pro-
duce hops of the quality and flavor
that will brew such beer as Pabst
Blue Ribbon, Col. Gustave Pabst has
offered $500 Solid Silver Cup for the
finest exhibit of irrigation grown hops,
to be made at the forthcoming EXPOSE
ton.
The Board of Control have already
arranged for some fifteen trophies
ranging in price from $500 to $500, and
these prizes will make this Exposition
one of the most successful that has ever
been known. Mr.. w. A. Beard, Secre-
tary of the Executive Committee Of the
Fifteenth Annual Irrigation Congress,
which convenes at Sacramento on Sep
TENDER end, the opening day of the Elk
position, says:
THE Pabst Blue Ribbon Cup will in
sure a magnificent hop display at the
forthcoming Fair. 1t is but one more
evidence of the far reaching influence
already exerted by the National Irriga-
ton Congress and in the Exposition to
be held under its auspices.
The Interstate Exposition will con-
tinue until September 14th, the closing
date of the California State Fair, which
is held at Sacramento simultaneously
with the Exposition, and it is therefore
anticipated that in addition to those
who compete for the Pabst Blue Ribbon
Cup, very general interest will be
awakened in the growing of hops on the
part of thousands of farmers who will
visit Sacramento during the month of
September.

To Our Deposi,ors.

On account of a loan of $4,000
made to Shiawassee County by the
Citizens Savings Bank there has
been a furry started by depositors
who feel that possibly their deposits
are not safe in the bank. We, direc-
tors of the Citizens Bank, wish to
say publically that We are fully in
formed as to the financial condition
Of the Citizens Savings Bank and
that we personally know that it has
resources more than enough to pay
all depositors, even if the County
loan was never paid.
We believe that Shiawassee Coun-
t. owes us this money and shall ask
them to pay it. The Citizens, Savings
Pank was examined by the State Ex-
sminer not thirty days ago and the
showing was the best ever made by
this bank.
This is state bank and is organic
el under state laws and under state
cortrol and besides this safeguard
t,a stockholders are personally re-
sponsible for $4,000, beyond their
stockholdings to make good any loss
that the bank may have. We be-
Iieve and know that depositors are
perfectly safe and that there is no
money by it..
