KIT CARSON WILD
WEST SHOW GOOD

Kit Carson's Wild West Buffalo
Ranch Show played to capacity at
both performances Monday. The show
itself is clean, whatever may be said
regarding the crowd of grafters with
it. The concert band opened the
entertainment with an overture, Hun
garian Fantasia, which was well play
ed.
The work o. the riders, cowboys,
cowgirls, Indians, Mexicans, and Cos
sacks was good as was also the rope
throwing and other wild west stunts
The clowns were good and kept the
big audiences in a good humor ali
during the performances. The more
one sees of the different riders of
the world. the more inclined he is to
AXE his hat off to the American cow
puncher. The Cossacks are good rid
ers but their saddles are covered with
small straps and loops which give
them hand and foot holds where the
cowboy depends entirely on his hand
grip and spurs for the performance
Of his reckless stunts.
The circus carries a number of
good aerial acts, the feature being the
flying trapeeze act pulled off over
the big net and which is as good
piece Of work as is seen with any
show

WANTS PEACEFUL REST NOW

WANTS PEACEFUL REST NOW.
The trouble with this little in
scription, Rest in Peace" is that
our neighbors never use it until they
put it on our tombstone, says an
exchange.
If they would Garry a few of them
around while we are among them and
occasionally tack one on our door
they would do d whole lot more good
Rest in Peace may be a consila-
don to those who come to view the
place where we dropped out of sight
out it offers no advantage to the feI-
low who is tuning up his harp for
us first solo in the choir invisible.
Rest in Peace is too much like
the flowers they carry to us after
we have wandered on-too late.
Ii we would hang that motto on the
Ioor Of our harrassed and worried
leighbOr mad let it wave there for one
short week while he is here among
is it would accord him more sweet re
ief than it does chiseIed in cold
granite during all the time the rains
and SHOWS of centuries are beating &
sainst it.
Rest in Peace" in marble is all
eight, but as far as I am concerned l
don't like the idea of waiting to hay
t handed 10 me ON my tombstone. I
igTe one hour of it here is worth
century of it over yonder on a white
rock. The thing to do is to pull
Rest in Peace" off the sepulcher
md put it on the band stand.

AUTO DRIVERS AcouIEscE.

We are pleased to note the ready
Willingness on the part of most own
ers and drivers of cars to comply
with State Laws and city ordinances
This is as it should be. The city
police are watching everybody and
calling their attention to the new
rules and the law. This in itself
is going to prevent many accidents
and everyone ought to show willing
ness to comply ,graciously- The city
policemen are entitled to great credit
for their vatchfulness and painstak-
ing in instructing strangers, and all
others, who are not yet familiar with
the new law. When travelling on
marrow and busy streets like Vine
in this city, its absolutely necessary
collisions and accidents. We know
to comply with the new law to avoid
that all law abiding citizens will be
anxious to comply with the law.

come a Law. l expect to take advan-
tage of any opportunity to exercise
the right of suffrage which has been
conferred on me-"
when there are matters at stake
which are of interest to me or are OF

orally, it will be my pleasure and

the same privileges and duty.
1T has been my part to attend to
the domestic department of my fam

has been actively engaged in public
life, to attend to that feature. | al
ways have been for suffrage, but my
time has been occupied as the moth

recently closed by Mrs Sarah Stein
berg and the new owner of the build
ing gives Mrs. Steinberg a five year
lease on the building This will be
good news to the many patrons of
the Steinberg store. When the build,
ing was first sold, it was understood
that the new owner would cccupy thf
entire building and because the Stein
berg people could not find suitable
location they commenced a series Of
sales to close out their stock. The
sales were successful and now that
they have secured the new lease
and will remain in business, they
have had to buy an entirely new line
of merchandise, so their patrons will
have an absolutely new and up to
date stock to select from. See their

We GRADUATES

Do not let your diplomas make
fools OF you Do not imagine that be
cause you are educated that it will
be degrading for you to engage in
any of the useful avocations of life
Education is a good thing. An educat
I'd farmer ought to be a better farm
or than one without education. An
educated carpenter ought to be a bet
| ter mechanic than one not educated
Education, however. with out practi-
cal, every day common sense does
not accOmplishm uch. Education that
siIIs its possessCr with a false pride,
that leads him to elevate his cole
giate nose to all labor outside the
professions is poor stock in trade. E
ducation is just as honorable in it's
shirt sleeves, working at some of
The useful trades, as it is in broad
cloth, pounding in pulpit or loafing
n a cIientless lawyers office. When
you get over the threshold OF life"
and out ON the ocean of time" you
will find unless you labor perseyering-
y you will be crowded out of the
procession by some hustling, practi-

ON AGR|CULTU.
RAJ COOPERATION

COBLENZ, Germany, July 5.-The
American Commission ON Agricultur-
al Cooperation visited this city to-
day and saw the monument and house
OF Raiffeisen, founder of the German
CO operative banking system that
bears his name. 1t was a. notable
der of the International Institute of
Agriculture at Rome, Italy, who is
accompanying the Commission on
it's invest cation of agricultural CO.
operation and cooperative banking i'm
fourteen European countries, deliV-
cred ain address at the House of Raft
-rejsen. M L. Luibin said, in part:
I'VE are beginning to discern with
clearness that the task before us
is not merely economic amelioration,
but that it is higher than that. 1t
reaches upward until it strikes the
true keynote of political stability,
ensuring peace and equity, not mere
ly for the people OF the United State
but political peace and. equity where
ever the principles underlying these
doctrines shall take root.
eve hope to add our amendment
to the really great work begun by
Father Raiffeisen; we hope to show
that the very root and secret of Our
work is not merely to find ameliora
ton for the faTaner-for it would be
just as charitable to find ameliora-
ton for the shoemaker and for the
carpenter; the scope Of our work
goes beyond that, in it's final analy-
sis this work will be found to ensure
not ameIioration for the American
farmer, but stability for the Ameri-
cam Republic.
In speaking of Raiffeisen and of
his work we feel impelled to say
that whatever the results, whether
the American people profit by this in
puiry or no, there can be no ques-
tom as to this: that the people of
Germany and of other European coun
tries are gamers through the Raft
feisen system.
1T now remains to be seen Wheth-
er it would be practicable to adopt
this system in the united States. In
this period of our inquiry it is too
early for this Commission to pro
noUnce i'm favor of-the adoption by
the American people Of the Raiffei-
sen system. Further inquiry may de-
termine a conclusion in the affirma-
tive; but whatever be the ultimate
conclusion there is no denying the
hope, the strong hope, that We may,
towards the end of our enquiry, be
justified in setting forth in our find
ing, if not the Raiffeisen system as
in operation in Germany, then some |
derivation of that system

No town will grow whose people

it. Whoever destroys it is an enemy
to progress and a traitor to the com

The bargain counter always opens
