lions to thesschools they wish to en-
ter q year after spending the coming

Credit Due Teachers.
That the examinations were heldin
Billings is mainly due to the efforts OF
certain members Of the high school
faculty who have exercised every eff
fort to bring them here. As q rule
the examinations r not neld at any
point unless there are at least five ap-
plicants and in that case there Is q
special. supervisor to overlook their
progress. AS there are but three here
the local teachers and those intend
ing taking the examinations are on
sidering themselves very fortunate IN
having them take place in Billings.
It will be the first time that such
examinations have ever Deen held IN
this city. The tests will be held IN
four cities in Montana, Helena, Great
Falls, Livingston and oillings. It is
believed that these examinations Will
be held in the city at this time every
year In order to accommodate the IN
creasing number Of students that are
leaving this city each year for out
side colleges, universities and technl-
cal schools.
Held All Over World.
So large has become the number OF
students seeking an education at the
institutions OF higher learning In the
United States that the BOARD OF col
lege examiners has arranged to have
the tests held in every country, OF
the world. American universities are
receiving q surprisingly large num-
Der OF students from the Philippine
islands, Porto Rico, Cuba and other
insular possessions, SO that It has
been necessary to establish exa1nin.
ing boards in those islands.

Aerial Trspeze Performers Have
Hair Raising Act-crowd Of 1000
Persons Attends Afternoon Per-
formance-cood Display Of Horses.

Yesterday was circus day in Bill
ings. What is probably the largest
crowd OF people that has ever attend
ed a circus in this city took in the
Sells Floto shows yesterday after
noon and evening and every one
seemed to be having a good time. The
circus itself was well above the stand
ard OF similar attractions that have
visited Billings in the past and few Of
those who witnessed the shows were
disappointed. Y
Despite washouts the circus ar
rived in Billings to give everything
advertised on time, including the pa
rade with all the time honored fea-
lures, from the band wagon, at the
head to the steam calliope, which
~screeched out antiquated but ever
popular airs In the rear.
1t is estimated that at least 1000
persons attended the afternoon per
Torrance. At night a crowd almost
equalling that OF the afternoon filled
the seats in the big tent and applaud
ed enthusiastically each act.
Everyone visited the menagerie and
nearly everyone took in the side
shows and bought red lemonade and
peanuts. seemingly with as much en-
joyment as though 1t was their first
experience. XII
Clever Performers.
Every act including the work o:
the clowns was Of high class and !
may be said to the credit of the mar
agement that q cleaner looking ant

seldom seen with a circus.
The unmistakable feature Of the en-
tire show is the trapeze act of tn,
five Siegrists. Charles siegrist, tn
leader, has several dare devil stunt

You should always remember
that most cough and cold cures
are constipating. Yet the most
important thing to do when you
have a cold is to move the bowels.
You cannot promptly cure cold
until you do this. Kennedy's
Laxative Cough Syrup stops the
cough by allaying Inflammation
of the throat and lungs, and it
drives the cold from the system
by gently moving the bowels.
Children like it for it tastes nearly
as good us maple sugar. Sold by
