AL G. BARNES WILD
ANIMAL SHOW COMING

General contracting agent Murray
A. Pennock of the AL. G.. Barnes Wild
Animal Circus was here recently ar
ranging for the appearance of the
Barnes Show in Belding, Tuesday,
July %.
Wherein does the wild animal cir
Gus differ from the old-time circus?"
was asked.
THE Barnes circus is different be-
cause the entire entertainment offer
ed is given by trained animals-large-
ly wild animals" replied Mr.. Pen
mock
'Al. G.. Barnes, the wild animal
training wizard and proprietor of the
Barnes shows, was the originator of
the wild animal circus, launching the
innovation nine years ago. That the
new amusement idea met with APP
proval from the public is attested by
the fact his circus now ranks as the
largest animal show in the world"
Mr.. Pennock has travelled all over
the country in the interests of the
Barnes Show and is familiar with al
most all the weekly papers every
where. He expressed himself con-
corning the Banner in a very compli-
mentary way. "The Banner is one of
the four or five best weeklies in the
United States" said Mr.. Pennock.

POLICEMEN AND TEACHERS

one of the Cleveland papers recent
ly printed an editorial relative TO the
situation in the school there regard
ing Prof. James w. McLane. The
editorial said in part
Firemen and policemen in Cleve-
land cannot be deprived of their posi-
tons without a hearing before tri-
bunal duly authorized to investigate
their side of the case and pass judg-
ment upon their work and their fit
ness. The whim or caprice of supe-
rior is not enough to explain dis
mssal. There must be proof of
wrongdoing or incompetence.
Are the teachers Of the public
schools less worthy than the firemen
and the policemen Of protection
against injustice? Are they not NOR
ally as much entitled to fair play, in
every instance? Have they not an
equal right to an open trial before
they can be forced out of the branch
of the public service in which they
may have spent many years without
question or doubt of their fitness?
Considered in respect to certainty
of permanent employment or fair
hearing before a special tribunal in
case of any attempt to take away
positions in the public service, the
police and the firemen have marked
advantage over the school teachers.
Is that right? Is IL fair? Do not the
teachers work for the same employers
their fellow citizens? Are they not
paid by the same taxpayers?
How can Cleveland do justice, in
this respect, to the men who guard
the property and persons OF its citizens
against fire and crime and still fail to
insist upon the same fair play, the
same right to an open hearing, if de-
manded, in dealing with the men and
women who teach their children in the
public schools? How can the people
of this city tolerate methods in the
schools which they long ago outgrew
and outlawed I'm the fire and police
departments?
1.-THE cause Of civil service reform
is steadily gaining ground in the pub
lie business OF the country. 1t has
lately made great advances in Cleve-
land and in Ohio. How long will ii
be possible to ignore in the schools the
fundamental principle of this system,
which is intended to insure perman-
ence of employment until unfitness
shall have been proved before pro-
per tribunal?"

First one gull and then another
would dive for the fish, lift part way
above the waters surface and be set
upon by other gulls until the fish slip
ped back. sacrifice of jealousy and
greed.
For almost an hour this struggle
lasted, ending only when all the gulls
were tired out.
A fraction OF the energy thus spent
in scrapping over an object too big to
handle would have secured for each
gull an ample meal of smaller fish,
with which the lake abounded.
or little co-operation instead of so
much crazy competition would have
lifted the fish to a safe place on dry
land, where all the gulls could have
Toasted at their leisure.
But they were only gulls hungry,
gluttonous gulls:
OF course men would have known
better.

ONLY SEA GULLS

The story is told, and not without a
foundation, Of the greedy actions of
sea gulls on a northern lake.
Some campers at the lake placed a
big fish on the top of a sloping rock,
near the waters edge, to see what the
gulls, who were swoop!ng around the
camp, would do.
A soaring scavenger soon spied it
and swooped down for feast.
Selling the fish in his talons, the
voracious bird tapped its wings and
screamed greedily as he tried to make
off with his find.
But the fish was too heavy to be
lifted
The only result of repeated at
tempts was that the fish began to slide
toward the water and soon fell in with
a splash.
Diving after it, the gull brought it
to the surface, and then began cur
ious spectacle.
Time after time the gull hosted the
fish as high as his strength would per-
NIT, only to weaken and let the fish
fall again.
The noise attracted other gulls and
a battle ensued.

This brings the price down close to
actual cost. 1t is figured by some
people in the trade that it costs so
cents TO raise bushel Of wheat where
the yield per acre is only fifteen BUSH
els. Twenty bushels to the acre re-
duces the cost to 60 cents, and TWEEN
ty-five bushels per acre puts the cost
at 80 cents. Thirty bushels makes
the cost As cents.
on the basis of the big yields, the
Kansas farmer will make 20 cents a
bushel when the price is 65 cents.
All over the Southwest, in 1907 farm
ers made small profit at 60 cents.
In the Canadian Northwest the cost is
placed by some at So cents.

furniture at the Furniture Exposition

splendid selections and very low
prices. The customers of the COM

DECLINE IN WHEAT PRICES

Wheat prices have declined to the
lowest point, for this season, since
1903. The trade in most instances
looks for further reduction. This is
natural, as there is seldom a move
ment of prices which the majority of
the trade does not expect to continue,
even though prices may be far out of
line.
At present about every trader who
is long of wheat, both here and abroad
has a loss Foreigners have bought
10000, 900 bushels of new wheat so
far; they have losses on their con-
tracts. and the question with some Of
the exporters is. will the buyers be
able to stand by those contracts when
delivery day comes?"
Prices at Kansas City are so close
to the 40 cent mark that farmers i'm
the country are receiving 60 to 65
cents a bushel for the new wheat.

buying in the way of excellent bar
gains the year around.
Mr.. Hail. the manager and part
owner of the local store, has splendid
reputation for giving the patrons OF
his store the very best of bargains al
ways. The success of his business
here proves this beyond any question
Mr.. Hall reports that a large num-
Der of buyers have attended the pres
ent Furniture Exposition and that
buying has been good. A spirit OF
optimism over the furniture outlook
is prevalent.

Bread Most Nourishing

The Department of Agriculture has
recently issued bulletin in which IL
boosts the use Of bread as food. The
bulletin says that bread is the most

bread is an ideal food. An ordinary
loaf contains $500 units of nourish-

five times as much as beef.

AS tax collectors. reaching with in- fallible touch every claSs in the com humility, the transportation companios ot New York put the nation to the blush. According to figures returned iy the public service commission. I.- 767.S8s,2si fares were paid during 1918. If there are s.ooo.o00 people in Great New York. the average street car fare for cach one was $17.50.
 For gas the people of the city paid $34.3ls.sl2: for electric current. $2S.- ss0. 1908.
 In all. the citizens of Greater New York paid to public service corpoiA. tions sl52.o2s.17s. or rather more thaa $30 @ head.
 The commission reports that these prodisious sums were paid to ninety eight operating and lessor companies with n total capitalization and out standing debt of sl.17s.6s0.674.
 And right at this point Is where the citizens should open his eyes and mind and consider tho situation. That cap- itaiization very largely wealth created by and belonging to the people. which the corporations have takcn from them. The use of the city's streets and the fact that New York hns 6.- coo. 900 people and will have moro are the two things that give value to the stocks and bonds of these companies.
 The people furnish the property on which the companies borrow money. and then submit to taxation in order tlat the companies may pay the in. terest on the debts thus incurred.
 It is an intoierablo situation. which exists In other cities as well as in New York. but which is everywhere coming to be recognized as outrage ous and against which the advocates of municipal ownership are waging their war.
 There is much excitement over the income tax. But only man with an income of S7.00o a year will have to Lay as much for the support of the government as @ s1.O0o-a-vcar clerk burning gas in his home and using the subway daily. has to pay for tho support of the Interboro and Con- sc lldatcd Gas.
 It took a constitutional amndn,cnt to make the income tax possible. It locks as though it would take some- thing even more radical to deprive public service corporations of the priv iiegc of surtaxing tho public for triyntc proflt.-New York American.

The mass meeting of business men miners and operators which urged upon the attention of President Will son by resolutions. etc.. the needs of Seward peninsula for transportation facilities have done a good work. The committee in framing their resolutions request. for consideration is based showed good judgment by their con- servatism and fairness in submitting facts. The people of Seward penia- suia need and deserve considera ton in the matter.
 The passage of the railroad bill has advertised Alaska not only throughout tho United States but throughout the world. Many thousands will be flock. iRg to this country induced primarily by the fact that the government will spend many millions in the develop. ment of this country.
 The agricultural classes will flock to the country. perhaps before wo are ready for them, but carrying them . set purpose many of the hardy farm CTS will stoy and form a neucleui around which many will cluster farm. ing large communities.
 It k no mere fancy picture when VI say that prosperous farmers will til thcusands of acrcs of Alasita's virgil soii within the next ten years.
