BIG CIRCUS COMING
TO DEBORAH TOMORROW
Hugo Bros. Modern United Shows.
Three Rings, Two Stages and
HippOdrOme Track.
SOMETHING DOING
EVERY MINUTE
German Government Copied Ideas Of
Transportation From Hugo
Bros.

Beneath the pomp and glitter and
amidst the odor of sawdust and nap
tha is a system of government and
management whose scope and scale
are stupendous and staggering. No
human institution is more perfect
in operation than the circus. Sure
ly no more flattering tribute could
be paid the Hugo Brothers Mod
ern United Shows than that official
ly given by the German government.
Officers from the army department
observed the rapid sequence of pro-
ceedings when the big show was in
Berlin.
The army officers were in the rail-
road yards to watch the arrival of
the trains, the process of debarka-
tion, and on the show grounds they
marvelled at the manner in which
the monster Aladdin like palaces
were raised into the air. They criti-
cally observed the manner in which
the mile long street parade was lin
ed up. They marvelled at the haste
and precision in which hundreds of
the employees hastened about their
work. Gen Won Bruent surveyed the
marvellous scenes and was dunn
founded. He secured permission
from the Hugo Bros. to permit sew
eral members of his staff to travel
with the show fortnight that they
might grasp few of the advanced
ideas as to how so great an institu-
tion is moved with apparently SO lit
tie effect. The german officials de-
clared that the army department had
always loaded their wagons on flat
cars by hosting them over the sides
and not rolling them on from the
end. ss Il
Fresh from ten year tour abroad
the Hugo Bros. Shows will come to
Decorah on Thursday, July Sth. Per-
p. m. Doors to the geological para
disc will be opened an hour earlier.
The parade is at IL a. m. After each
performance, in the dog and pony
department., the little children at
tending the show will be allowed to
ride the ponies.

JUST A QUESTION.
Are the Richest Riddles The Happi.
est i'm the Land?

Are the richest kiddies the happi-
est in the land or are the happiest
babies the richest in the land?
The millionaire mother who rails
es her little son like a crown prince
and has him guarded as if he were
going to some day inherit a throne,
thinks her baby is the happiest in
the land, but other fond mothers
think she is mistaken. They believe
that only poor" baby can be real
ly happy.
When the poor" child is a babe
in arms the mother hangs over it,
puts the tiniest stitches in the pre-
cious baby dresses and kisses it ut
every cry. When it begins to walk
and falls over the threshold, it is
the mother and not a stern COVER
ness, who runs and picks him up.
This poor" baby is left to play
alone sometimes and given a chance
to spill bottle of ink or pour man.
mas best perfume out of the win
dow "to see it wain.'' This baby
can play in a sand pile on pleasant
days and have countless pans and
dishes to pass the time away and
make mud pies and play with rag
dolls and have oodles of fun!
AS the last hours Of the day draw
near baby tries to make the best
of the time that is left him. The
rattles rattle louder than ever, the
toy horses rock harder and the
small voices get stronger and shril-
Ter. Baby doesn't need a maid to
put him to bed and stay with him
because he knows the bogey-mal
can't get him while mamma is near.

DRAGGING COUNTY ROADS.
State Highway Commission Calls At
tentiOn to the Following.

Regarding failure to drag coun-
TRY roads, the highway commission
says:
There can be no excuse in Iowa
for Iowa roads being undragged.
The township trustees have a drag
fund levied for this and no other
purpose which is sufficient to pay
for the dragging OF all necessary
township roads. The lnw directs
the county board oft.superyisors to
keep the county road system drag
ged to a smooth condition at all
times. The share Of the automobile
taxes which comes to every county
will go a long ways toward paying
this expense. The automobilists who
pay this tax are entitled to have
the money spent for this work rath-
er than any other. There are times
and seasons when 1t Is hard to get
anyone to do the work. This fact,
however, is no excuse for neglecting
to have it done. The law says it
shall be done and provides the mo-
ney and places the responsibility for
doing it. The people of every COM
munity are entitled to have it done.
II it is neglected, they have the law
back of them to force the proper
officials to get it done. The roads
should be dragged and there is no
valid excuse for ignoring the law or
lneglecting the work"
That JOY riders who throw bottles
on the public highway, may be and
should be prosecuted, Is stated by
the commission in its recent bulle-
tin. 1t says:
Constant complaints are made Of
the quantities of broken glass, beer
bottles and similar Instructions on
the main travelled roads. The law,
Chapter 21O, Acts of the Thirty-fifth
General Assembly, makes the plac-
ing or leaving of bottles or broken
glass on the public highways mis-
demeanor. The fine ranges from
S1.00 to $4,000. A second offense
can. not be less than $500. Few
people are aware Of the fact that
the class of joyriders who leave a
string of bottles scattered along be-
hind them can be prosecuted. A few
prosecutions in each county will un-
doubtedly stop the practice. These
prosecutions should come as soon as
the users of the roads generally
learn of the existence of the law.

ADMINISTRATION BIG DEFICIT.
Review of Accounts Shows a Short
age of $35, 1894, 1881.

Washington, July 5.-The second
business year of the present admin
istration, which closed yesterday,
showed deficit of $35,S64,3S1, as
compared with surplus for the year
ending June 80. 1914, of sS4,418,-
CIT.
Official explanations will not be
issued until the figures for the year
are analyzed by Secretary McAdoo,
but on the face Of the records it is
apparent that receipts were much
smaller and there was an enormous
reduction in customs, revenues, re-
sulting from the war, while dis
bursements were much greater.
Notwithstanding the deficit in the
years business, the treasury now
has an actual net balance Of $S2,-
O25,716. With such a balance on
hand and every prospect that it will
be increased, possibly by 100000
900, in the next few days, it is evil
dent that there will be no issue Of
Panama canal or other government
bonds to replenish the Golfers for
many months to come, if at all.
With the end of the war apparent
ly remote it is we'll known that
many treasury officials are convinced
that it will be necessary for con-
gress to restore the old duty on
sugar at the next session. Sugar be-
comes free next year, whereas, in
days when it paid duty, it brought in
about $6O,o00,0OG a year.
The income tax proved the big
producer during the past twelve
months. Total receipts up to the
close of business last year were $79,-
S2S,675.

The writing of good advertising is
one of the essentials of success to
every merchant, and all others who
intend to enter retail trade. BY ac-
quiring few simple principles. any
merchant or advertisement writer
can make his advertising much
more successful in selling goods.
The methods by which the brightest
men in this profession are multiply

Many young man-and YOU will

into some of it's hard work that he
may lay something by for himself

we are driving at is that it takes
something little more than fairly
good looks, and buttonhole boquet,
good nature, good intentions or

1t takes cash-the stuff that is got
in exchange for hard work-to buy
clothes for two, bacon, flour and po-
tatoes for two, pay rent and buy
washing machines, baby cabs, cook

stuff need not daunt the heart OF
any young man who has gumption
and a moderatee supply of red

who are contemplating matrimony
in sort of dreamy, hazy way who
will have to wake up and get next
to some good hard work with both
of his hands if he ever expects Mary
to share life with him in some vine
clad cottage. There is no influence
so potent for good as the affection
of good girl and the home which
both unite in making, yet the right
kind of home and the furnishing of
it comes not by chance, but by hard
work and much pains.

II WANT TO GO BACK"
I want to go back,
l want to go back,
Down on the farm.


California has furnished another
instance Of comparison between that
state of climate and earthquakes and
Iowa. The farther we go and the
more we learn the better Iowa shows
up by comparison. A little wet and
unreasonable weather is one thing
An earthquake with it's destruction
and it's terror is another and vastly
different.
Iowa is no playground. 1t is a
workshop. Nowhere do men work
harder and longer hours for better
returns than in the corn country.
And Iowa is the heart and core and
cream of the corn country. The mis-
fortunes of others should merely By
comparison and par example bring
appreciation of our own mercies and
advantages. And Iowa-hard-work-
ing, prosperous, thrifty Iowa-is a
land of hard work and hopefulness
and certainties. 1t pays what it
promises and pays on the nail. The
hand of providence raises and lifts
always in Iowa; 1t never strikes.
While other sections are crippled,
sore under the stroke of circum-
stances, the corn country remains
prosperous. The auto salesmen pack
their grips and hike for the corn
country. The commercial agencies
write special reports of prosperity
for the corn country. When the
orange belt and the cotton districts
and the Industrial east are on their
uppers the corn country goes right
on buying shoes. We may give fan
cy names to other sections, call them
gardens of the gods, and American
Italys and Switzerlands and the like
but the real garden of the gods is
within the thirty-fve inch rain belt
and Iowa is the centrally throned
queen of that. OF course We get up
early and work late, but we build
barns and know that they will be
there when we get up in the morn
ing, plant corn with the certainty
that we shall husk full crop. sleep

amity that involves cities and states

goes to make up the best spot where

IOWA HAS 2,27S TOWNS.
So Reports Lafayette Higgins SAM
tary Engineer. Smallest City
Having Water Works Has
1O2 Inhabitants.

Lafayette Higgins, sanitary engi-
neer for the state board of health,
has found 2,27S cities, towns and
villages in the state Of Iowa, accord
ing to his report published with the
biennial report of the state board.
OF this number 445 cities and towns
have water works and 156 have wat
er and sewerage system, the report
shows.
"The list as compiled indicates
that about one in five of the cities,
towns and villages have made any
sanitary installations what 80 ever,
that only about one in thirteen Of
the number have installed any kind
of sewer system, and that about one
in thirty-four of the number have
installed sewage disposal plans"
says Mr.. Higgins. OF the entire
number of cities, towns and villages
in the state, not single one has in
stalled a complete up-to-date gar
bage disposal plant, although num-
ber of cities have used and main
tanned a system of garbage collec-
ton with imperfect methods of dis
posal. 1t is expected, however, that
a few of the larger cities will install
garbage disposal plants within the
next year or two. AS it now stands,
the garbage disposal problem in
Iowa is yet unsolved.'
The engineers figures show the
number of cities and towns having
water works only to be 2S9; number
having water works and sewers only
9S; number having sewers, water
works and sewage disposal plans
So.
The smallest town having water
works has population of 102. The
smallest town having both water
works and sewers has a population
of 357, and the smalles: having wat
'er works, sewer and sewage disposal
plant has a population Of 416.

In the cities where the chautau-
qua is owned and controlled by five
hundred or more stock holders, there
is no need of any one coming to the
rescue. There the organization is
proud of the fact that it stands up
on its own bottom, and If thers
should be a deficit it can never be
great enough to weigh heavily upon
any stockholder," says the Burling'
ton Hawkeye. There are many rea-
sons why this system is the only
proper one for chautauQua which
is not supposed to be an undertaking
operated for profit"

"The farmer who bitches his am
bition to a good farm home, with a
good white house, big red barn,
and a piece of land without a mort
gage, nearly always gets there after
awhile, and there are not enough
unfavorable seasons in the calendar
or bugs in the universe to stop him.
