The street fair and carnival has
been going mcrrily along all thi, week

afternoon and night to the carnival
grounds. The Clifton-Kclly shows
are the largest and best combination
of the kind ever seen here, and the
people Of WinOna and the surround

Large crowds Of our citizens Of
the city and county are seen every
afternoon and night on the midway.
and at night with its hundreds Of
multi colorcd electric lights the mid
way presents Il scene Of gaity that
rivals the Mardi Gras days Of New
Orleans.
The Clifton-KclIy shows are cs-
scntialIy big city show, playing
such cities as Natchcz, Nicksburg,
and Jackson. At Nachcz they fur
nishcd all the attractions for the
Fircmcn's carnival, at Nicksburg all
the attractions for the Beaver
Free Street Fair, and played jackson
for two weeks, during Christmas and
New Years week.
This company has the most up to
date carnival shows ever seen here.

United States Senator Burton
Speaks at Lunch of Repub-

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-There is no
cause for alarm in the imminent pos
sibility that the United States will have
to import wheat and other food stuffs,
said United States Senator Theodore l.,
Burton, Of Ohio, today at the Saturday
luncheon Of the Republican club, at
which the development of this country s
foreign commerce was discussed. At
present the average acre of land in this
country, he explained, produced only fif-
teen bushels of grain. while the average
for England, France and Germany was
from twenty-eight to thirty bushels
per acre, Better farming and n return
to the soil would ultimately restore the
economic equilibrium of the United
States, now seemingly threatened.
Senator Burton also drew attention
to the fact that Canada, while enjoying
preferential advantages with England
and France, continued to be a good Gus.

living standards In the two countries.
In 1913 Canada had imported from the
United States merchandise to the
amount Of $307 100000. almost one
sixth Of the total American exports.
The speaker gave it as his opinion that
most of the socio-economic problems of
tho United States were the result of
private extravaganza. which, he thought.
