BILL POSTERS
DISPLAY FEATURES
MUCH PREPARATION FOR THE RIc
CIRCUS WHICH is COMING
TO TOWN.

Now doth the busy billposter with
paste and brush cover the dead walls
and fences with pictures of strange
ANIMALS and wonderful feats. for the
circus is coming to town. Barnum g.
balley's Greatest Show on Earth will
be in the city on Wednesday to spread
its canvas city and to fill the ambient
ar with the odor of freshly roasted
peanuts. the CLINT of pink lemonade
and the ballyhoo cry of the barker.
There is joy in store for the small bow
and his little sister. not to mention
few grown-ups, who when the cir
Gus comes to town drop their dignity
and for the time being become kids
themselves.
There is a lot to be said about this
years circus that has been said about
ether circuses in the past and then
some more. There is no occasion to
say that it is a big circus. 1t has al
ways been the big circus and the show
man in the city says that now as in
the past it will be found to be the big
gest thing of its kind that the world
has ever known. 1t takes more cars to
carry it and its tents cover more
ground than is made necessary for the
display Of any other circus in existence.
There are 20 divisions on the circus
program calling into service three
hundred and seventy-flve performers
two hundred of whom are the pick of
the circus celebrities of Europe. Mirth
and establishment go hand in hand for
with every sensational feature there
comes the biggest bunch of clowns ever
gathered together to cajole one into
laughter. The big thriller on the bill
is the race of two automobiles occupied
by two young women in the air. 1t is
one big gasp and for senSatiOnalism it
has all of the circus thrillers which
have gone before it hidden away in
an English joke.

at least doubt about the honesty of
the Idaho farmers claims. the Col
orado agricultural college branding it
unqualifiedly a fraud. The Denver
papers article follows:
FORT COLLINS. Colo. July Is
That Abraham Adams, of Julietta. Ida
no, has revived the swindle of the
seven headed Egyptian wonder wheat,
found in the tomb of the Pharaohs by
an archaeOlOgiSt with agronomistic
leanings some years ago, is the opinion
of the professors of Colorado AgricuI-
tural college, who have just announced
the result of a test Of the famous 200
bushel wheat known to the scientific
world for the last six months as the
Alaska.
In the opinion of the college experts
the humble Idaho farmer either is
sadly mistaken or he has purposely set

".From these statements it is easy to
figure@what this wonderful wheat is
because it is impervious to frost and
also to light hail, and because it par
tially withstands the heaviest hail.
Mr. Adams named his wheat the Alas
ka to mark its wonderful sturdiness.
But the wonderful things were yet
to come On a government station it
was found that this wonderful wheat
was hard wheat. 1t is therefore
wheat that succeeds equally well as
winter or spring wheat and in both
paintings will grade No. i hard.
".This means an absolute revolution
in wheat raising. 1t means that this
wear if Alaska wheat could have been
planted instead of an estimated Amer
lean crop Of 5OO,OOO,0OO bushels, Amer
lea would raise for the world close
onto $4,000, 100000 bushels. When this
is realized the wealth that Alaska has
given in gold pales into insignificance
bv the side of what the farmers will
be able to lay up in wealth for the
country
1.-THE publication of such stories in
agricultural journals has aroused great
excitement in all wheat raising sec
tons, and particularly in the Rocky
mountain country Hundreds of farm
ers wanted the seed, and the press
agent notices that are now being cir
crlatei contain the address of the dis

which came JUROR the market by s''l"e
mysterious means five or six years
ago. The discoverer claims to have
gotten the seed from the ancient Egyp-
tan tomb, and it was generally be-
lieyed among the gulIibe that the
wheat was the progeny of the grain
grown in the seven fat years during
Joseph's time.
"Marvelous claims were made for the
wheat and thousands of bushels of
ing a fabulous price per pound. When
the crop was harvested the variety
proved to yield only little above the
average, because of the size of the
head, but it graded No. quality, and
the millers would not buy it,
