CARNIVAL PAYS WELL
Base Ball Association Profits Are
About $3.50.

The Patterson Carnival Co.. which
showed in Oskaloosa all last week
under the auspices Of the Oskaloosa
Base Ball association, did not have an
overly successful week, although en-
abled to open the gates every day
and evening during the week. The
attendance was not as great as ex-
pected and the receipts were not up
to the earnings of last year. The earn
ings of the association were about
$3.50. The Saturday night crowd was
the biggest of the week and was
new record for local carnival attend
ance. If the other nights of the car
nival had been in ratio with the Sat
urday evening attendance the asso-
citation would have profited hand
somely. Thirty-three hundred paid
admissions passed the gates Saturday.
The biggest previous record was q
1923 admissions.
The crowd of Saturday night were
stayers and the fun, continued until
long after midnight, when the work OF
packing and moving the big show was
commenced. The carnival was NOV
ed to Ottumwa via the Rock Island.
where 1t is showing this week.
The Patterson company Is to be
commended for the clean and classy
entertainments in connection wl-a the
organization. 1t is the best and larg-
est carnival that has ever been seen
in Oskaloosa and it pleased every
| one who attended.
The money received by the base ball
| association was turned over to the
bank today as a credit against the
obligations of the directors. The as
sociation is now on the lookout for
another means of whiting down the
remaining Indebtedness, amounting to
about $1,000.

hundredth anniversary of the birth OF
John Calvin, which has drawn to
Geneva large number of prominent
Professionals from numerous lands
Calvin was born on July 10, 1909, and
in 1859 he laid the foundation of the
church Of Geneva. His grave, at his
own request, was left unmarked and
cannot now be identified.
The monument whose cornerstone
was laid to-day will comprise an ex.
tensive group Of statuary, with appro
pirate architectural environment. The
central figures will be those of the
reformers OF Geneva itself-Farel
Calvin, Knox and Beza. On either
side will be representative men like
Coligny of France, William the Silent
of Holland and oliver Cromwell OF
England. The figure for America will
be typical Puritan father.
