Terrible Fight with Flames
Circus Spectacle Triumph of
Tragic Reality.

The task of presenting to the
people of smaller cities the scenes
of great buildings, melting N the
heat of fiery element; of falling
walls and the upheaval of lakes
OF sparks and fircbrands, and then
the tragic battle of the brave brig
ade with their axes and hose, their
engines and ladders, heroic rescues
and finally the triumph of victory
this is the achievements Of the
great Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Bros. circus which is presenting
as part Of its main exhibition a
great battle of fire and water
inown as Fighting Flames. -
This great spectacle will be seen
in Marion OH Monday. April %,
in connection with the many other
sensations Of the Forcpaugh-Sclls
shows. AS spectators enter the main
tcnt--the largest ever constructed
IT is as if they were suddenly
plunged into the heart of q great
city with its seething mass of in
iabitants engaged in all the activi-
lies Of metropolitam life. What is
leignated as the hipprodromc track
IS one solid mass Of c!ty blocks
,kysclapers, hutcls, department
stores. shops cathedrals, depots
and public buildings. The rings
md arenas by means of stage set
.ings and properties are converted
into a city park with fountains,

With mounted police, pleasure seek
ers, nurse maids and children.
shoppers and business men pour in
ami out of the stores and office
buildings; cabs ply their trade on
the streets; trolley cars wind
trough the thoroughfarcs aud ped.
Hers apple carts, automobiles, news
boys. organ grinders, mail wagons
and ambulances give the mimic me-
tropolis the realism Of u city's
activity.
Suddenly the scenes changes to
me Of commotiCn as the cry Of fire
- raised and from window high
mp i'll the hotel on the square a
theread of smoke issues. Uncon-
;ciors of danger. women and child
rem ut the other windows. are
watching dhe crowds below. The
stream Of smoke grows larger and
With it are tongues Of flame. A
policeman rushes to II cclner signal
joX and turns in an alarm. Then
comes an explosion in the basement
# the hotel, which huTls u shower
f glass and burning debris into
'he street. Police fcrcc the crowds
to the park side, and hmriedly
place II fire line. \ shout goes up
from the spectators, rs with the
sound Of gong, fire engines roll
around the corner and step by fire
plugs. They are followed by hose
carts, ladder wagons and coal wag-
ons, and the great battle is on.
Streams of water sent into the
burning hotel are followed by siz-
cling steam clouds that burst from
the windows. Above this can he
heard the cries Of women and child
ren. who look with despair out
from the death trap, the glare cf
the rlamc demon in their CHASTITY
faces. Brave fire fighters raise
'clcsropic ladders and mount TO the
rescue Of the helpless while others
agLl the litc-nets to catch those
wliodrivcn by the approaching
Flames, hurl themselves from the
upDer easements.
Frcm now on till the victory
over flames is complete, the scene
is at once one of splendor, Of ter
ror, of danger and triumph and
tragic in its beauty.

WATERMELON IMMUNITY ?
Judge Dismisses a Jury Because Its
Member Sampled Fruit Owned
by Plaintiff

Danville, Ind. Sept %. - Five
luscious watermelons graced the porch
OF Alva 3. Smith when a jury went
to view the premises in considering
the suit brought by Smith against the
Big -Four Railway company because
the company had condemned two acres
OF ground for additional right-of-way.
These melons were sampled by the
jury while attending TO their duties.
Representatives of the company then
filed afidavits alleging misconduct on
the part Of the jury in partaking OF
the hospitality Of Smith, and demand
ed a finding OF mistrial. After an all
day argument, Judge Cofer concluded
that the watermelons might have ex-
erted a sinister effect, and dismissed
the jury. The company followed the
dismissal by demanding a change OF
venue.

indianapolis, Sept q. - A real
''nor'easter' coming down White river
with Atlantic seaboard velocity played
havoc with the big tent on the EN-
erichville bridge in which the visiting
county commissioners from all parts

Marion commissioners and caused con-
Sternation among the 200 and more
guests. Striking the tent full from the
north, the wind made the side bulge
like those of half-filled airship and
the top to careen like storm tossed
sail boat. Those sitting at the food
laden table rose in body to hold tight
the tent, but before John McGregord
and his fellow commissioners from this
county could so much as think, the
tent collapsed, burying diners, tables
and food in its canvas.

The owners OF cows In general are
afraid OF high prices for high class
cows. The average farmer and dairy
man holds the idea thai he can afford
to own only average" cows. He fig
ures out somehow that he must judge
a cows value not from what she really
can earn, but from the amount of
money he thinks he can afford 10 pay
for her. IL has been repeated over and
over that the milk producer cannot af-
ford one kind OF COW and that one the
small yield COW. Along with this 1t
has been repeated that the producer
can afford the high yield COW at any
price within her earning capacity as
yielder OF milk and butter. A dairy
COW Is worth just what she will pro-
duce for her owner.
At the present price OF butter the
COW making 325 pounds of butter Is
worth $50 the COW that makes 375
pounds of butter is worth $40. and the
COW that makes 400 pounds of butter
is worth $50.
These figures and valuations are ex-
actly in accordance with the teachings
OF every dairyman and farmer. Every
