CIRCUS PARADE BRILLIANT PROSPERITY FOUND HERE
While Frosts Strike Iowa and Hail
Destroys Montana Crops Northern
Minnesota Conditions Splendid.
RECORD HARVEST IS EXPECTED

While Minnesota farms, according
to experts, will this year produce in
new wealth $410,625,OO0, thus pro-
viding the Gopher state with pros
perity greater than it has ever be-
fore known, and while general condi-
tons here are excellent, other Sec
tons are suffering severely as the
consequence of hail, rains and wind
storms.
G. E. Brinegar, of Thayer, Iowa,
where he is in the land business, be-
ing the general sales manager of the
Nebish Land company, writes from
his home town: 1--WE are having
awful wet weather here. Rains nearly
every day and it is so cold today that
some have fires to take the chill off.
Crops of nearly all kinds are spoiled;
wheat and oats are rotting, hay is
spelling on the ground and corn
looks bad"
Mrs. Phillip Eischen of Shelly,
Mont, a niece of Mrs. o. B. Sonstrud
ofSDewey avenue, in a recent letter
tells of severe hail storm that de-
'stroyed 7every~bit of grain on their
section of land near Shelly. Since
their residence in Montana this Is the
first year that crops have looked
promising, as there has been plenty
of rain even in that dry country. The
grain looked exceptionally fine and
they expected to secure at least 49,
600 crop in the fall.
The hail stones were as large as
hens eggs, breaking every window
light in the house and leaving marks
and dents in the walls and on the
fence posts. Although the storm
lasted but few minutes every bit Of
grain was destroyed: Near the
buildings the hail piled up foot
high. Mr.. Eischen carried 5000 in
surance on the crop. The storm
swept all the way from Sweet Grass
to Chester, skipping farm here and
there, and the farmers have COM
menced blowing up their fields.
Thus we see that Minnesota cit
liens have reason to rejoice.

Pageant of Hagenbeck- Wallace Show
Represents Expenditure of 81 ,O0O,-
O0O-Features Entirely New
SHOW MENAGER1E IN OPEN DENs

When the Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace
circus visits Bemidji, Friday, August
Is, there will be on the downtown
streets the day of the exhibition a
street parade that represents an ex-
penditure of more than $1,O0O,OOO.
1t is entirely the origination and ex-
ecution of the best artists, designers
and property masters of Italy, Eng
land and France
1t is the policy of the Hagenbeck-
Wallace circus never to repeat it's
novelties. For the reason the parade
for this season is entirely new. For
months, day and night, artists arti-
sans and decorators toiled like Tro-
jams in the European workshops,
Hamberg, Germany, to build the
parade which is this year amazing the
cities of America
Not in any way does the street
parade resemble the pageants of the
past. It fairly glistens with newness.
There are floats of FURNISHED gold
made by Oriental workmen, cos
tunes and tapestries from France
and Persia flags and banners from
China, statuary from Italy, band and
orchestra wagons of bronz, hand
carved and decorated with pure
FURNISHED gold. Almost every type
Of man will be seen in native dress
and the characteristic music of the
world is represented by trumpeting
brass bands, chanters, bagpipes, tom
tom players, drum, fife and bugle
CORPS The great managerie, the
pride of Carl Hagenbeck, is shown in
open dens.
The performance this year, too, has
undergone many changes. The stel-
lar attraction remains the perform
ance of the famed Carl Hagenbeck
trained wild animals. These beasts
of the forest and jungle will be
seen in an immense steel arena
Daring wild animal trainers have
them broken to perform remarkable
tricks. More than 400 arenic per-
formers will be seen in the circus,
performing in three rings and on two
elevated stages. Performances will
be given at 2 and p. m. Doors to
the Hagenbeck zoo will be opened an
| hour earlier.

Petrograd, (by mail 1.-The evacua-
lion OF the large cities that Russia has
abandoned to the Germans Is a task the
immensely of which may be judged
from figures now available concerning
the partial evacuation OF Riga. The
population OF Riga has not been
seriously disturbed, the city having
about as many Inhabitants as at the
beginning Of the war, since many refu-
gees have gathered there from the Bali
tic districts occupied by the Germans,
but 400 factories, OF which so belong
to German subjects, have been trans
planted to interior provinces. During
the evacuation period from $50 ~ 200
loaded cars were dispatched daily, and
In all $4,000 carloads OF machinery,
metals and raw materials were shipped
out of Riga. The work continued for
two months.
Factory owners have received COM
pensation from the government treas
Try for the cost of removal and most OF
the skilled workers of the factories
have accompanied the employers to the

She Is not eager to tie herself down
to the man who has had many loves

young woman he knows little about.
He has searched for a girl he could
love far and near, he gives out adj

sweet, good and affectionate; the only
one he has ever wanted, he whispers
ardently. ..
Her mothers consent IS eagerly

are invoked freely for the daughters
