The green was worn and displayed
with the diligence and persistence that
George M: Cohan has shown in ex-
plotting the American flag and all this
reached climax when the President of
the United States arose in his box and
bowed his acknowledgements to that
perennial star, Chauncey Olcott, who

The favorite of Olcott's new array of
songs seemed to be, 1.-THE Girl I'll Call

song named for the title of the play,

His Best Play.
Advance announcements that "Ma-

has had were justified by the play, as
well as by the songs. Critics may sug-

that? 1t was the kind Of a show that
Olcott patrons like, only more SO than

SELLS-FL0TO CIRCUS

On Wednesday, oct, 16, the great
Sells Floto circus is billed here for a
single days engagement, and the
mere announcement that this popular
priced attraction is coming our way
will be sufficient guarantee that an
entertainment of more than ordinary
merit will be presented to the amuse-
ment-loving people of this section,
W. f. Haines, general contracting
agent Of the circus. is in town today
making the usual arrangements for
the coming of the big show. He
states that the business throughout
the country this season has been enor-
nous and that everything points to
a prosperous autumn campaign.
"The fact of the matter is said
Mr.. Haines, Il think we are on the
eve of the most prosperous era that
orally conceded in the circus world that
next year is going to break all records.
| don't think it makes any particular
difference who is elected president
of the United States or what their
policy may be, because the fact re-
means that from one end Of the coun-
try to the other the crops have been
unprecedented. the banks are full
of money and prosperity must follow.
The Sells Floto circus has toured the
country this season from as far
south as El Paso. Texas, clean to Ed
monton and Saskatoon in the great
northwest, and / do not know OF any
locality we have visited where the
crops are not the best they had in
years. When we went out early in
the spring, everything was pretty dull,
but now the business outlook seems
to have taken on a new spirit alto
eether and the country is looking up
amazinglp.
I'VE will try to bring you as good
a circus this year as we have on the
occasion of our former visits Our
price still remains the same and l
think the show is larger if anything
than it was last year"
