NO STREET PARADE.
The Wild West and Far East Will Not
Give a Street Pageant When Ex- ?

Give a Street Pageant when ex- ?
hibition Visits This City.
For many reasons the management
of Buffalo Bills Wild West and Paw
nee Bills Far East has decided to
abandon the street parade which has,
in years past, been the usual thing
with travelling organizations of this
size and character. 1t Is set forth in
many instances the late arrival of the
trains bearing paraphernalia makes
it impossible to give parade and
start the afternoon performance on
time. Through these delays the pub
lie Is compelled to experience a ted
ious wait while the work Of prepar-
ing the performance goes on. Again
it is considered an unnecessary hard
ship to compel men and horses to pa
rade for two hours before beginning
the afternoon exhibition, especially
when it is considered that two shows
every day are the rule with this exh.-
bition. BY doing away with the street
pageant men and horses are fresh for
their performance and 1t would seem
that the public is entitled to perfect
performance, which it pays for, rather
than to free street parade which
gives, at best, but poor idea of the
magnitude of the exhibition. Another
reason which has served to influence
the decision is the fact that merchants
in the cities visited object to parades
because they interrupt business and
interfere with general traffic So
strenuous is this objection that in
many cities permit to parade cannot
be secured, and in other places the fee
H. t. 0k oh hNr ~
ant rate that 1t practically prohibits
streets pageants. In any event the
management is satisfied that the pub
lie prefer an afternoon performance
given with snap and vigor, displaying
the best efforts of the participants,
rather than to have their entertain
ment interferred with through the ia
tigue of the participants after two or
three hours of street parading in all
sorts of weather. The public is re-
minded, however, that in moving the
properties and paraphernalia of the
exhibition from the railroad to the
grounds will, in itself, constitute la
rade of greater interest and vastly
more novel than any other organiza-
ton can offer. The Indians and rough
riders will ride their horses to the
grounds and the sight will be All ample
reward for the elimination of the
parade Of other days. In
cidentally it may be mentioned that
when weather permits Col. Cody will
take drive through the principal
streets to convince the public that the
old scout is still able to be in harness
while wisely deciding to be so re-
membered as he gracefully retires,
personally, from public life in the sad

They thought they had to. They
thought the land would not support
life. Periodically, this land is the
most fertile in the world. The nour.
ishment is there to support more life
than any other land will support.
Water 10 Important.
"All the fertility in the world
counts for nothing If the water to dis
solve it is not just right.
Since time began the wind and
weather have worn the rocks. The
crumbling shale is the fertility of the
soil. Each rain dissolves some Of this
richness and the solutions made are
taken UP by vegetable roots and built
into leaves, flowers and fruits. The
stream that runs muddy to the ocean
robs the soil in wild riot of waste.
ut Is different in the arid regions.
Here nature Is found In an economi-
cal mood Here the rocks have added
their riches to the soils since the
world began and there has been little
loss. Here Is nature leading the con-
servation way-nature's great savings
bank. Nor does the reign Of reason
stop when water is put upon the soil,
because, when this is wisely done, the
fertility put In solution is proportion
ate to the needs of useful plants and
the run-off Is low in soil chemicals.
The Case Of Swamp Lands.
where the lands are in swamp
areas the process Is different, but the
results are the same. The fertility Of
the hills put into solution has spread
over the swamps. Some Of it has been
deposited there Plants have sprung
up wildly. They have changed the
character of the soil content They
have drawn nitrogen and other nour-
ishment from the air and added 1t to
the soil. The rich waters have not
run away, but, stagnant on the soil,
have constantly enriched it. To drain
this soil is to make possible to use re-
sources which have been useless I'M
til now. More than this, the relation
of water to these lands can be so ma
nipulated that the soils will be kept
fertile
From the health standpoint, swamp
lands undrained are of more cOnse-
quence than negative factors. They
serve as spreading foci for disease
so that they are not only Improbable
themselves, but radiate pail of in
efficiency on those who live on near
by lands.
Waste areas Of land put under
cultivation make possible a greater
food supply One of the most earnest
contentious of the medical world is
that there are many diseases which
are directly influenced by the high
price of food or a scarcity of it. A
number of years ago an Englishman
plated a curve showing the range in
the price of wheat and added to it a
curve for consumption The two curves
ran suggestively near parallel. He
who increases the quantity Of food
or lowers it's price is great conser-
