and yet the old idea that for some reason the
circus profession is degraded and degrading one
still prevails, and many man, otherwise broad
guaged and liberal, will hesitate to Introduce
member of his family to circus agent
announcer sun widely disseminated idea is that
the sexes IN the circus dressing tent are not seq
regated as strictly convention demands: and
vet, as matter of fact, there is no place in the
world that know of where the rules are more
stringent or where high order morals is more
rigdly demanded.
rs TILL another current idea, which is especially
prevalent in the smaller cities, is that the cir.
Gus is divided and that different sections of it ex
hibit in widely separated towns on The same date
Any statement on this line is manifesty untrue and
even absurd 1t would be impossible for shows
to divide in this way And vet eyery press agent
is repeatedly asked if the whole show is coming.
Probably the circus have themselves been
responsible for the growth of this idea by adyer
Using, The circus that never disappoints-that
never divides But this is purely bit of bun
combe, to create by inference the idea that other
shows divide but that this particular show is too
honest to resort to such trick subterfuge
Probably the most amusing and even astonish-
ing idea that prevails in many sections of the
country is the belief that the circus always brings
ram In New Orleans this belief is tradition.
Several years ago returned to that city, after
having made the papers in advance, in order to
settle up with the show at the end of the season.

was just little crisp, and there nothing

Thank heaven, the circus is here at last,'
My curiosity got the better of me- and Siding

the arrival of the circus?'
" Because, he answered. without hesitation the
circus always brings rain, and We've had such

Society of Equity Sends Figures to
Congress.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Declaring
that the farmer should receive as
much profit on his business as the
manufacturer or the merchant and
that the minimum price of wheat on
the farm should be S1.25 per bushel
the American Society of Equity has
transmitted paper to congress show
ing the. cost of the farm. materials
and machinery and the amount of cap
ital which it is necessary for farmer
to invest before beginning the raising
of wheat.
1t is set forth that many growers of
grain do not know the actual cost of
raising a bushel of wheat as does a
merchant, who knows the exact cost
of his goods. Figures which were
compiled from the books of a bust
nesslike farmer in the Red River val
ley, and which have been certified to
by expert accountants, place the cost
of producing a bushel of wheat at
$1.195 per bushel.
