Kit Carson's
Show Attracts
Crowd.
Two PERFORMANCES GIVEN.

The Kit Carson Show consist
ing OF seventeen cars OF wagons,
horses, couple ofelephants. and
such coaches as were necessary
to care for the people, arrived ov-
er the Short Line Tuesday as
scheduled and proceeded to the
towpsite where they erected
their tents and began business.
Two bands accompanied the per-
formance. At twelve O'Clock a
parade through the streets was
made by the long string otteams
and wagons that haul the apar-
atus and aside from this a couple
of elephants, a few cow boys and
clowns made up the parade,
Some stunts pulled off by the
riders and the trapese perfor.
nance was the best thing given.
Their side shows in some in
stances were not very becom-
ing places and the many trink-
let's offered for sale provided a
place for the peoples money rath-
er than giving them good whole
some entertainment.
Some of their company quit
their services while here and in
order to get their money a local
attorney was employed to secure
it from them for the parties quit.
ting.
The riding of the two unbroke
horses furnished by local people
was not very satisfactory to the
crowd, while if they had been out
in the opening a better opportun
ity would have been afforded the
people to see what the riders
could do under common cOndi-
tions in broncho riding.

w, T. Jack each made a short
talk, welcoming the distinguish
ed gentlemen to our town and
the need of cooperation on the
part of the railroads and the peo.
pie in the upbuilding of the coun-
try AS a whole.
A visit to the dam had been
prepared by John l.. Smith who
had the matter in hand of ar
ranging the meeting on such
short notice, but the schedule OF
the party would not permit of
their making the trip.
A very friendly feeling prevail
ed throughout and every one
seemed to have enjoyed the meet
ing greatly.
At ten o'clock the party return
ed to their special cars and con-
tinued their journey along the
line.
This event has become an annu-
al one with the railroad company
in order that they may make the
acquaintance of the people living
along their lines and at the same
time learn their needs with vie w
of improving such conditions as
will be of mutual benefit to both
In response to their wishes q
request for a telephone to be plac
ed in the depot here, an improve
ment fthe grounds by the plant
ing of lawns and parking with
trees, the placing of spurs for the
loading of beets between Oakley
and Marion, and a better trair
schedule and service was made
with favorable answers given by
the company.
Next time they come it is likel i,
the people will learn to ask fo1
something as it was evident they
hardly knew what they wanted
by the few things asked for anc
we are sure the party was pleas
ed to think we did not ask fol

something.
The meeting was a good ONT
and the party was invited to re
J turn again.

Huprnobile Agency
Opened in Atlanta
At III Peachtree

The popularity of the Hupmobile in
Atlanta and the rapid growth of the
demand for this well known little car,
particularly the impetus added to this
demand by reason of the Introduction
of the new "32" long stroke touring car
and roadster to the Hupmobile line, has
made it advisable for the Hupp Motor
Car Company to have exclusive repre-
sentation in this territory. According
ly. they have appointed as their sole
representative T. J. Bettes, who will
handle Hupmobiles and give service TO
owners under the firm name Of the
Bettes Motor Car Company. 222224
Peachtree street. Atlanta, Ga.
Mr. Bettes, although a comparative
stranger in Atlanta, has been associated
for several years with the Hupp Motor
Car Company and is regarded as one
of the most efficient members of their
sales organization. He has been hand
ling the Hupmobile almost since the
inception of the company; the first car
he sold being No. SO. For the past two
seasons he has been handling Hupmo-
biles in the western Michigan territory
with headquarters 81 Grand Rapids.
Il find the Hupmobile already a very
popular car in this territory" said Mr.
Bettes, but with exclusive representa-
ton and special service which we pro-
pose to give owners, we hope to make
this car more prominent than ever in
this territory ] wish to emphasize as
strongly as possible the service which
plan to give Hupmobile owners. We
will keep at all times a complete stock
of repair parts and will keep the cars
of our customers adjusted and tuned
up to the best possible running condi-
ton and give them all the cooperation
we can to help them get the most eco
nomical mileage and service out of their
cars"

CHILD'S FACE ALL RED SPOTS

632 n. 5th st., Terre Haute. Ind
my little nephew, boy Of four
years. had breaking out on his face.
It was little red spots at first, then
he would rub and scratch and water
blisters would form, and wherever the
water would run another would come
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but it did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say 1t hurt We hardly knew him,
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So I begged him to let me
put some Cuticura Ointment ON them.
The next morning l made a strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face IN the warm suds.
The little blisters burst by pressing
the cloth on them. After had his
face washed, put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on and in a short time his little
face was all redand dry. kept using
the Cuticura Soap and putting on the
Cuticura Ointment and his face got as
well and 1t did not leave a scar. He
was entirely cured in about one week
and a half" (Signed) Mrs. Arthur
