company. declares the farmers are
worse today than the circus men were
twenty years ago. At the police station
Tuesday morning while arranging with
Chief Wien for men, he said:
"We circus men are up against 1t. \
few wears ago circus man had every
thing his way. There were usually
fifty to 100 laborers hanging about will
ing to go to work at any minute for the
chance OF travelling with the show. The
farm boys were just fighting for a
chance to sleep under a wagon all
afternoon and evening, work all nieh.
packing and all morning unloading.
Now it's different.
"The stake driver is an independent
fellow with his threats of leaving to 20
on a farm, and the farmers are ba,;t
OF it. They come shooting onto the cir
Gus grounds in big automobile, wear
two or three diamonds and clothes
which outshne those of the modern
show man several times. When they
crook a finger at fellow lying under
a wagon watching for kids attempting
to set under the canvas, believe me, he
jumps.
1--WE used to allow a bunch of takers
to travel with the show to trim the
hicks but now we have to nail every
thing down to keep those same hicks
from CARRYING away our possessions for
use on the farm. Times have changed"

Council Bluffs, July s.-A few years
meant the disappearance of several
farm boys and hired men. The attrac-
ton of the big top the glare of gas

farm hand to become poor stake

food and less travel appealed to the
men who few years ago ran away
from the farms with visions OF becom-
ing real performers.
In Council Bluffs Tuesday morning
several farmers met the circus trains.
They sat back against the cushions OF
their automobiles and in strain much
more appealing than that of side
show "spieler,' told of the easy life OF
cutting hay and harvesting. The cir
Gus laborers listened and few hours
later asked for the money due them
for their work with the show.
The circus authorities pleaded and
insisted the harvesting would last but
few short weeks and that the circus
season had just started. The men re-
fused to listen and threatened to go to
a justice of the peace or secure writ
of attachment for their wages, in many
cases but a few dollars.
Most of the circus "huskies' wanted
to leave at once and accept big black
cigar from some farmer and ride In mis-
automobile to the farm. At one. time
the circus men were afraid they would
not have enough help to pack up and
leave for Omaha after the nights ex-

With this facing them. they appealed
to the police to send all of the "hoboes'
and "vags" to the circus grounds where
they would be given steady work and
certain transportation out of the city.
Chief of Police Divide Wien sent ten or
fifteen men to the show grounds and
promises to direct all undesirabiesi that
