Did The Drouth Hit You.

The year 1911 will 60 down in the
annals of hot stuff as q record beater.
Throughout the central portion of the
United States not only was rainfall
deficient during May, June and July.
but the weather was unusually hot.
In some places hot winds scorched
vegetation in day. 1t has been bad
for many crops, yet the latest govern
ment bulletins show that corn will
rise to the ten-year average, or 25. SO
bushels per acre. Wheat will come
within one bushel of an average crop.
Other crops are not far below, if the
Bureau of Statistics is to be credited.
Much depends upon the kind of wea-
Their We get for the remainder of the
season.
One of the big facts the season has
brought out is that few farmers will
waste their corn stalks this year.
If every grower will cut and shock all
his fodder, it will help to carry the
stock through the winter. Straw
burning will not be so common a sight
as usual. Straw is not a bad feed
when it is the best you've got. Other
forms of roughage, commonly wasted,
will be carefully preserved for winter
feed.
The other big fact is Alfalfa. We
spell it with a capital A in honor of
its royal position as drouth CROP
If more farmers would grow alfalfa,
there would be less loss by uncertain
rainfall. Alfalfa is the greatest crop
in the world, barring none. 1t is a
little piece of Old Government Bonds
from whichyou can slip your coupons
thrice a year. 1t takes of itself af-
ter once established. 1t lasts a life

GIRL MOCKS AT FATE
Heroine of Double Somersaultin9
Auto to Be Seen Here.

| AutO ~ NC oCCu
The most terrific act in the hisor
of circus thrillers, the double somer
saulting automobile act, will be seel
in Columbus on August Is as the eli
max of the Adam Forepaugh and Sell
Bros. circus. This is the Dante
Inferno Of circus paralyzers. Social
ed thrillers of the past pale into moth
ing before it.
And the act is performed by young
French girl barely out of, her teens.
The heavy car with the gritty young
woman at the wheel plunges down a
steep incline with lightning speed.
An upward curve at the terminal OF
the tracks sends the car up into the air,
where it turns two complete somersaults
before alighting on the runway fifty
feet away.
1t is a moment of suspense that the
audience will never forget. 1t holds
the eyes of even those who had made
up their minds not to look. 1t is i'm
possible to resist the act. 1t pinch
es the heart and whitens the faces Of
those who behold, and the relief of the
audience when the feat is finished in
safety expresses itself in a sigh of
thanks.
Another thriller with the show, the
beauty of which is inspiring, is known
as the ''Human Butterfly Act. 1t
is a sensation of French organization
and is presented by the famous Ty-Bell
sisters. Holding by the teeth to al
most invisible strands of steel, the
young women are lifted to the dome
of the tent and there by means of hid
den mechanism are made to circle, dart
and fly through space with the grace
of birds while multi colored spot lights
are directed upon their flowing robes.
The act is the most beautiful con-
ception of a French spectacle builder.
Aside from its beauty it is danger
GUS enough to be intensely exiting.
Like rolling ball of snow the Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers circus has
grown and gathered to such an extent
that it is now out of all proportion
with the recollection of it that lin
gers in the local mind. 1t has been
many seasons since it exhibited here
and it now comes with new laurels
won and with much more to recon-
mend it than ever. There is not
country on earth that it has not at
some time in its fifty years of existence
pitched its ten acres of canvas. 1t is
in New York the most pop
ular show that exhibits that city.
When it last exhibited there its par
ade received unbounded praise.
The show now has $50 performers.
the majority of whom are from Euro
pean and Asiatic countries. There are
100 big acts on the program. the
menagere is wonderful geological COL
lection. The entire equipment Of the
circus is brand new.
