FARMER NEWSIES HAVE GREAT TIME AT BIG CARNIVAL
"We Garry the Label" Says Banner in Procession of
 400 Youngsters.

we Carry the Label; It's On the Farmer
 A red-headed youngster bore that sign north on Main street, about 6;3o o'clock last evening, heading a pro- cession of 400 happy, laughing young sters. They were The Farmer news boys, going to Washburn's Mighty Midway Shows as the guests of the publishers of The Farmer.
 A happier crowd of boys was never gath cred together here. Long be- fore the appointed hour for the start of the parade they swarmed around The Farmer office, clamoring for the prized red badges that would give them carte-blanche at the carnival grounds. There was no disorder just the happy shouting of healthy kids who are equipped with ordinary lung capacity.
 With James Dick Bradshaw in charge, the youngsters were marshal ed four abreast at 6:30. The brass band from the carnival headed the procession playing one of those snap py circus tunes that are just pie" for the trombonists and cornetists. Then came Marshal Bradshaw head ing his merry band. A steam calli- ope that turned out popular airs brought up the rear of the line. America, First; The Farmer Sec ond' said one of the banners. An other told where the youngsters were bound while a third told the public that the boys were carrying a. paper with the Iabel.'' The procession was l orderly and attracted lots of attention on Main street.
 At the carnival grounds, the news ies had the time of their young lives. 'eA Trip to the Moon," the museum, the animal show, the monkey circus, Norma Lovers Lane and other amusement enterprises were visited. Each one brought shouts of joy and it was patent that anyone of the crowd wouldn't swap places with the wealthiest man in the country.
 The last show was visited before 3 o'clock. so that the boys could get home in good season. There wasn the slightest accident of any kind, and Circulation Manager Bradshaw of The Farmer and Manager Turner of the Washburn Shows, who arranged the program, were the recipients of many congratulations.
