does not always happen that the char
aeter OF . location will permit OF the
construction Of this sort OF barrier.
To take care Of the exceptions. Uncle
Sam Is now perfecting new and
novel type OF fort, known as the tur-
ret fertilization. The idea OF. this new
stronghold Is nothing less than the In
PRODUCTION on.land Of the plan Of the
monitor which made such a sensation
when 1t was originated during our
Civil War.
A steel turret fort Is. in substance,
an electrically operated revolving tur-
ret somewhat similar to the turrets
which shelter the big guns on our bat
tleships. The iron or steel turrets-
revolving oupolas with spherical
rooms. each contain two or moro big
guns and they can quickly revolve or
swing through any part Of = circle
with the result that the guns can b.
trained on ship approaching from
any direction.
These turret fortncations are ideal
for location on islands and that is
where they are to be placed for the
most part, although visitor to
Panama who looks sharp may md

The Audubon team enters the cons
petitive drills and will also manage
to get all the good they can from
the encampment before. it closes on
Saturday afternoon. The team goes
at the expense of the head camp and
there is no question but what the
Audubon boys will enjoy this unique
manner of entertainment. 1t is re-
ported that the home team is among
the best of the drill teams, and we
would not be surprised to learn that
they have carried off some of the big
prizes.

ORGANIZE AT GUTHRIE CENTER


Mrs. F. s. Watts went to Guthrie
Center to talk to the women of that
town who have recently organized a
Childs Welfare Union The Guthrie
Center folks are very enthusiastic
about the new organization and the
town has been divided into eight div
isions, each division having it's own
officers but all of them are under the
supervision of head officers. Mrs.
Judge Applegate is the president and
Mrs. Mary A. Sayles the first vice
president.
The object of the splendid Guthrie
Center women is to provide a better
environment for the children from
baby-hood up, also in seeing that all
children in each neighborhood are in
some Sunday school and the children
of school age in school and helping
mothers who are over-burdened.
Mrs. Watts was urged to make
talk before the eight divisions which
met yesterday afternoon at the M.
E. church. A picnic has been planned
at the delightful chautauqua grounds
but the heavy rains necessitated hold
ing the meeting In the church. Mrs.
Watts is thoroughly familiar with
every phase of the work and we know
she was able to give the people of
our neighboring town an address that

BARNUM a. BAILEY HAVE
HUNDREDS OF NEW FEATURES

The Barnum & Bailey Greatest
show on Earth. which comes to At
lantic on Saturday, Aug 7th., claim
to present this year "A Circus of All
Nations" meaning one that is filled
with all new features shown now
for the first time and presented by
$50 world-famed artists who repres-
ent every nation in the world The
entire world has been secured by
special Barnum and Bailey agents so
that practically all the arenic stars
that are really worth seeing take
part.
The time-honored custom has al
ways been to refer to each success
sive years circus as bigger and bet
ter than ever" but the phrase has
become so hackneyed that this year
Barnum and Bailey hesitate to use
it, despite the fact that it adequate
ly describes the entertainment More
railroad care are required to trans
port the show, bigger tents are raised
more arena is needed to accommodate
the show than ever before. In fact
the circus has reached point where
it is the despair of many of the small
ell railroads and taxes their facilities
to the limit, for eighty-five cars are
needed to convey the gigantic can
vas city from town to town.
There's material enough in this
years circus to make dozen circuses,
of the old days. A "big top" $50 feet
long. nearly 1900 employees, three
rings, four elevated platforms, acres
of aerial apparatus, the biggest stage
ever erected for a dramatic presenta-
ton, a 110-cage menagerie, $50 hor-
SEES, forty elephants, a street parade
three miles long.
Among the novelties offered this
season are the 'Six Riding Hanna
fords," 1.-The Paldrens," balancing,
pyrmading and head jumping on the
tops of burning lamps. "Pallenbergs
Wonder Bears, "Adgie" and her den
of nine performing African lions,
Barnum and Bailey Statue horses,
Madam Bradna's Angel Horses, three
great herds of war elephants, trained
and shown by the first and only lady
elephant trainers. Besides these are
60 aerialists, 60 riders, go acrobats
and 60 clowns.
A wonderful prelude to this great
circus is the presentation of the new,
magnificent, spectacular pageant,
"Lalla Rookh" in which more than
1000 characters take part. Everyone
should get an early start on circus
day in order to be there in time for
the parade which starts at 10 A. M.
and which is said to be three miles
long.

TWO AUTOMOBILES COLLIDE

An automobile accident took place
about two o'clock Saturday afternoon
in front of the Sherm Wright farm
east of town, which might have prov
en- serious. A number of teams and
autos were coming to town for chau-
tauqua. Rev. C. w. Peer the Meth
odist minister from Dedham was
coming up the hill in his automobile
and after passing two teams had just
thrown on the juice to make a run
for the hill. He was travelling at a
speed of twenty-five miles an hour.
Just at this moment, Mr.. Wright
drove his car into the road, turning
east He was unable to see the APP
preaching car and ran into the side
of the car driven by Rev. Peer with
force, but however, die
not upset it. The two automobiles
were badly damaged and traffic was
stopped until the cars were removed
from the road. Fortunately for all
concerned no persons were injured.
That afternoon Mr.. Wright had some
trees and weeds cut down that OBJ
his view, and hereafter
there will be no more accidents of
this nature.

ONE YEAR OF TIE WAR

Yesterday completed one year of
the European war, twelve months of
continuous conflict, with all preced-
ents outdone, all prophecies upset and
no indication as to when it will term
mate. We had been told that modern
military machinery had made war so
terrible in its potentiality for death
and destruction that ii could not con-
tinue long, so costly in it's operation
that nations could not afford to
maintain hostilities for great length
of time, and that any war must soon
be over. Three months was the time
set by many when the troops under
Won Kluck began to pour across the
Belgian border. But mans ingen~
uity met ocense with defense, and
under the shelter of trenches armies
have withstood the assault of opposing
armies. In the air and beneath the
sea foes have grappled, and still the
earth trembles under the shock of
the conflict. Twelve months have
gone, and millions of men and bill
ions of treasure have been wasted
and no one can say with certainty
when ii is to be over.
