week through arrangements made by
The Star
Exclusive right to show these pic

has been secured by The Star, and
they are to he Incorporated into the
series Of travelosues being given in Con-
Nention Hall by Frank r. Robertson.
Fifty per cent OF the profits are to be
turned over to the Belgian Red Cross war
relief fund. The cost to the Washington
public will be exactly the same as for
the Robertson series: p cents for seats
In the reserved section and 10 cents for
admission when a coupon from The Star
is presented.
These vivid war movies were pre-
viously shown here privately to rep

impression there that The Star nego-
fiated for public exposition, that the
Washington public might have
chance to see the very best pictures

They were taken on the Belgian bat
tlefield by Edwin F. Weigie, an Ameri-
can newspaper photographer. who was
within fifty feet of the forefront of the
flghting. He took them under the only
permit granted by the Belgian govern
ment. SO they are the only authentic
and authorized pictures of the most
important scenes in this titanic conflict.
They depict in truthful and vivid views
the burning of Antwerp. the battle of
Alost. the destruction of Termonde, the
battle of Aerschot. the flooding of Lii
erre and the battle of Malines.
The fury of battle was SO great and
the American photographer so close
that he was repeatedly driven back by
the bursting shrapnel.
Practically every phase of fighting is
depicted. There are pictures of infan-
try in action; of the artillery fire; of
soldiers falling and comrades pulling

ARGUSVLLLE TO
CONSOLIDATE
VOTERS OF THAT SCHOOL DIS
TRlCT CAST PRACTICALLY
UNANIMOUS VOTE FOR NEW
SCHOOL BUILDING FOR CON.
SOLlDATED SCHOOL.

The voters of Argusville polled a
heavy vote in favor of building a new
consolidated school in that town, at
the recent election. The school pa
irons of district So, district 11S, and
the nine sections in the northeast
r of Berlin township on April 7
presented a petition to the. county
commissioners, requesting that these
districts be consolidated and made
one. The commissioners took final
action in the matter on May 7, grant
ing the request. .
The question then arose as to
whether to build a new school build
ing for the consolidated school, or to
move together the buildings which the
districts already have, and to com
bine them into one building. At the
election the voters decided by a vote
of fifty to six in favor of a new build
ing, thoroughly modern and up to
date. 1t is expected that work will
be begun on the new building as soon
as the bonds can be voted.

the knowledge excite some f~un-eXpeCt-
ant thrills?
Honest now, aren't you glad it's
coming, glad for the chance you'll
have Cor excused to get away from
work and cares for a day and be a
small boy OF girl again?
Bless you. of course you'll enjoy the
froEc. In the early morning you
can watch the show unload. Later
you may see the dazzling parade-the
parade with t~rumpeting bands, beauti-
tuI horses. elephants, dens of wild
beasts, clowns who guy the girls along
the route, n the steam organ. Then
out at the show grounds there's the
Tree exhibition on the outside. No
small boy or girl would ever miss
seeing that. And the side shows
fairly bullying (as the bills say with
wonderful. p~rodigous, extraordinary,
aWe-1nspiring curiOsities and mon
strocities. What, miss seeing them?
Well we guess not.
One o'clock is the hour for the big
show to open, when one can get in to
feed the elephants peanuts and drink
pink IemOnade-What would a circus
be without doing that? Later the
bands will trumpet and all the won
derous things you have seen pictured
on the flaming bill boards will be
spread before your eyes.
Proud, %prancing horses and ponies
will caVort about the sawdust rings.
Elephants will stand on their heads;
dogs will dive from the top of the
tent and big m~an-eating lions and
tigers will make the cold shivers chase
upand down our back. Comical
bears. mules, goats and monkeys will
tickle your laughisg spot and dissi-
pate your grouches.
And don't forget the kiddies. Per-
haps you, a groWn-up, can't get away
to go. Even SO, you can make your
self happy by sending some little life
TO see the glories of the circus-for
glories they are to the youngsters. lust
as they were to O twenty-five Or
fifty years ago-a bright spot they will
remember for days and days.
Over six hundred educated wild and
domestic animals are exhibited by the
Barnes show, many of which are to
be seen in the parade presented to the
public at 1890. Performances are
given at 2 and 8 p. m.
