and cut, but is getting along nicely.
Several have spoken to US of the
thoughtlessness Of the business men of
the city in neglecting to decorate their
stores during Home Coming week.
This is a college town, and it would
certainly have impressed the visitors
with our interest in our institution
If the stores had been decorated with
the Yellow and Blue.
The fifth annual meeting Of the
South Dakota State Grange will be
held at the State College in this city
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Of
next week. The program Is a splen-
did one and the Register would have
liked to publish it in full, but was I'M
able to this week on account Of a lack
of space. A large crowd Of visitors are
expected to be present during the three
days.
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Sherwin and
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Sherwin are here

If you miss the small boy of the
family at breakfast, don't be alarmed,
for it will be safe conjecture that he is
at the Brookings show lot, watching
the Barnes circus set up. 1t is one of
the PARKWAY memories of the grown
ups, the boyhood days when we watch
ed the red wagons pull up on the lot,
the horse tents and dining rooms erect
ed, and the fascinating hustle and
hustle of getting ready for the show.
Many Of us have not out-grown the
habit yet. Promptly at ten o'clock,
the bugle will sound the call for the
parade to leave the lot, and the prin-
cipal down town streets will be
traversed. At one p. m. the doors will
be opened for the afternoon show
which starts an hour later. The night
show opens its doors at seven, and
starts at SIS. The press agent
promises a program lasting two hours,
with thu ee rings and steel arenas in
constant operation. The entire per-
Torrance lis given by animals, over
$50 in number, in three rings, steel
arenas and on elevated stages. Herds
Of elephants, camels, zebras, India
sacred cattle and oxen from Africa;
thirty monster lions, tigers, leopards,
panthers, pumas, jaguars, hyenas under
the direction Of famous European male
and female trainers; $50 high school
horses, Shetland ponies, dogs, apes,
goats, monkeys, bears and a host of
other sensational features; ten famous
clowns. These are a few of the fea-
ture acts that take place in the arena,
while the rings are occupied with no
less entertaining but far less danger
acts. Herr Roth and his group of 25
full grown forestIbred male African
lions conclude the performance.
