New York, March 22.-Spring is
really here, for the circus has come
to town. Following its custom of
many years the Barnum & Bailey show
opens it's season in Madison Square

month in Manhattan and Brooklyn be-
fore taking to the road From all in

THE LIQUOR DEALERS LAUGH
Bill Forbidding Treating Is a Huge
Joke, They Say-Impossible
to Enforce II.

Liquor dealers are inclined to smile
when the bill just introduced in the
Minnesota legislature forbidding treat
ing is mentioned, and when asked if
there is any likelihood of its becoming
a law they laugh aloud.
In the first place, it's unconstitu-
tional. and in the second it couldn't
very we'll be enforced If it were passed
by way OF a joke" said one promi-
nent liquor dealer.
Imagine community in which one
person is forbidden by law to treat an
other, in which the spirit of good fell
lowship is entirely lacking, and you
can see for yourself what a revolt
there will be-" said another saloon
man. why, such law could never
be enforced ii the police force were
doubled or even trebled, and the men,
bers Of the legislature, when they stop
to think of the matter, must realize
that they themselves will soon feel its
baneful effects, as many of their num-
Der are inclined to treat or be treated"

WORLDS GREATEST IN GOTHAM TODAY

New York, March 22.-Pink lemon
ade flowed like champagne, bands
played and bankers spelled in the good
old way when the greatest show on
earth" opened its spring engagement
in Madison Square garden this after
noon. To the youngsters and many
of the older ones OF the metropolis
the coming of the circus is as great
an event as in the smaller cities and
towns and many staid business men,
bankers and brokers, who didn't care
for it themselves, but had to take the
children" helped to fill the garden
at today's premiers.
Although the billboards had prom
ised a return to the good old circus
of our daddies,' there was no lack
of daredevil, death-defying" feats, the
great original thriller being an adap-
ton of the Scandinavian winter sport
of ski jumping. The mountain side on
which the Norwegian ski jumpers per-
form their feats is represented by a
90-foot runway. and the chasm over

plants in the home plot, with due re-
gard for symmetry and simplicity. The
advice was given not to plant flowers
in isolated individuals, scattered here
and there over the premises but that
they should be gathered in clumps and
beds with an eye to group effect, or
arranging in rows to continue the
mass idea. One of the speakers said
good word for old friend, the poppy,
and seemed to hold that no garden was
complete without it.
Oscar Wick of East Grand Forks, the
we'll known horticulturist and nursery
man, gave practical talk on growing
roses and other flower shrubs, saying
that he had succeeded in growing as
fine American Beauty Roses as were
grown anywhere in the country. He
also emphasized the importance of
hedges and especially recommended
the honeysuckle and the Spirea-Van-
houtti.
Frank Haseltine, who has been in
the nursery business near Crookston
for over twenty years, gave sensible
and convincing address on the SUBJ
ject of Tree Planting" Mr.. Hasel-
tine urged the Importance of cultivat-
ing and then more cultivating, for sue
cessful tree culture. The regular pro-
gram being finished with this assign
ment. George Ralph was called upon
as state drainage engineer to talk on
drainage in the valley and he dis
cussed several phases of the subject
in an interesting manner.
Supt Robertson then read petition
to be sent to the legislature asking
favorable consideration of the needs
of the school, and of the Stephens bill
now before that body Over 100 sig
natures We're secured from those in at
tendance. Further business included
an explanation of the nature and pur-
poses of the Valley Horticultural So
ciety, with an invitation to all the in
terested to join the society, one dollar
paid as membership fee now admitting
one to the rolls of the select in both
the valley and the state association.
A good number of new members was
secured before adjournment.

Earl Hovelson, the Norwegian cham
pion who has been engaged to per-
form the hazardous feat throughout
the circus season, takes his position

of the runway, some seventy feet in

the declivity, strikes an upward curve

fairly upon his skis sixty feet away.
1t is by all odds one of the most spec

Norwegian.
