YOUNG PEOPLE
WITH A CIRCUS
ONE OF THE CAUSES FOR THE
POPULARITY OF THE COUL
TER CIRCUS is ITS YOUNG
BLOOD.

GA striking feature of the Coulter
Circus is the number of young peo-
pie with the show. This is particul-
arly true of the women performers
who are ali young and fresh looking
From the executive staff to the stars
of dressing tents, the people of the
Coulter show are the most business
like and b~est-behaved circus people
that were ever in our CITY,"
In other vocations many times
young people. displace other folks
because they work for less salaries.
This is not the case with the Coulter
show. OF the 100 performers billed
by w. H. Coulter, a majority of them
are young but they are paid higher
salaries than any other circus Of the
past or present ever paid. This is
an age of specialists with ring per-
formers. The time was when a man
or woman was paid according to the
number Of acts they could do. The
more and daring the acts the higher
the salary, and in some instances two
or three could give the whole show.
Not so now. When w. H. Coulter
contracts with his performers, 1t is
not a question of quantity, but Of
quality He insists upon having the
cream of the profession. If the per-
former can do only one act, but do it
better than anyone else in the whole
wide world then he is sure of a place
with the great w. H. Coulter show.
AS the elder members of the profess
sion depended upon the number and
not the quality of their acts, 1t is
easy to see why the younger persons
who specialize are given the prefer
ence.
The general air of vigor, snap and
ginger about the smooth running
performances of Mr.. Coulter's Show
is in a measure due to the young
blood which Mr.. Coulter has infused
into the circus business.
The great Coulter Show will posi-
lively exhibit for one day only ut Nit

1870 he became = member OF the
Masonic Order and continued to he
q Master Mason Of Hermitage Lodge
298 at Andrew. Iowa.
The influence OF his early training
in a Christian home remained with
him to the close Of his life. He was
a firm be- ever in all the fundament-
ais of our Christian faith and did not
hesitate to rebuke those who scofHed'
at the sacred things Of God. While
he never united with any particular
religious denomination it can be said
that he was a member of the Church
triumphant, and the Christian
Church never had a irmer friend nor
a more loyal defender and supporter
than he.
A few hours before his departure
his CONSCIOUSNESS was restored for q
few moments and he summoned the
members of his family to his bedside
and very tenderly addressed them,
expressing his appreciation of their
Kindness and, love to him and then
saying, II must leave you all for my
time has come. l am going to that
better home. You must all come to
me for 1 cannot come back to you.
After this tender and beautiful fare
we'll he sank into that sleep from
which there was to be no earthly
awakening.
His hardy constitution had resist
ed all the encroachments of disease
that had attacked him SO severely
during his long life until the past
year during which his health grad
ually failed. Three weeks ago he
was confined to his bed and in spite
of all that the best medical skill and
nursing could do and the tender
m~inistrations of loved ones, his life
gradually ebbed away. The end
came peacefully and, triumphantly
at 11:15 O'Clock Thursday morning.
True in his devotion to his con-
victions in: all he believed to be right,
generous to a fault to those who we're
in need, steadfast as a friend, wise
as a counsellor, loving and faithful
as a husband and father, always
loyal to his conscience and his God,
the influence of his long and useful
life will linger to the end as a sweet
benediction and blessed memory to
all who knew him, inspiring them
with higher ideals and holier ambi-
tons in all that is noblest and, best
in life.

FAULTY LEVELING
CAUSE POOR CROPS
More Failures on Irrigated Land
From This Cause
MACHINERY NEEDED
Is SIMPLE INDEED

More crop failures on the irri-
gated lands Of New Mexico may
be traced 10 faulty leveliug thar
to any other cause under tho con
troll Of the farmer. Poorly level
ed laudsare expensive to irrlgate,
both with regard to the amount
of water aud the amount of labor
required; and in addition, the
plants in the different parts Of
the field are so unequally water
ed that unsatisfactory crops are
the result. The machinery ne
cessary for leveling on the small
farm is simple and inexpensive,
and should be kept, in order that
all spare time of men and teams
can be used to the best a1vant-
age. On the small farm all that
is necessary is q small Fresno
scraper, q pillow, and plank drag.
In leveling. the first thing to
do is to decide just how the land
can be put into shape by moving
the least amount Of dirt. A good
: way to begin is to set stakes to
represent borders, and see how
they may be located in order to
obtain the best results. 1t is
not necessary that an entire field
should be level, but only that
J the soil within a border be so
: and each border may drop lower
= or rise higher than the one al.
joining, without any serious in
l convenience in either seeding ol
: harvesting. Borders should no'
: be spaced too wide. Forty five
o to sixty feet will be good widtl
s if the field is at all sloping; anC
u it is best to make them NOR

= the land is level. Locate eac
r border definitely, and mark it b

or in any other way that is cor
