ed to the boys and girls who do the

"Dairying should be one OF the most
important departments of every farm
in Iowa. The good dairy COW will,
with proper care and attention not
only return u handsome profit, but
also assures a more steady income
than any other kind Of live stock
farming. She converts the grains and
grasses into condensed, easily market
ed products, and at the same time
builds up the fertility Of the land
says G. r. Bliss.
There are approximately 100000
cows in Iowa, and fully one-third, or
100000 Of these are losing their own
ers from 50 to So per year per head.
This Is an enormous loss which could
be overcome IL the proper methods
we're practfced. The milk record con-
test has been inaugurated to teach
the boy how he can. by devoting
few minutes each day. increase the
production Of the herd"

CARNIVAL SHOWS
CONTINUE DRAW
FINE AUDIENCES
SHOWS ARE WELL PATRONIZED
AT AMERICUS AND GOOD ORDER
PREVAILS-LION'S TOOTH En-
TRACTED.

If you have not been to the Sheesley
carnival shows already, go at once,
or you will miss the best attraction of
the kind that has yet visited Americus.
Even the rain today will not keep the
crowds away and the ball park will
he filled with sight-seers bent upon
having good time. The best order
is maintained, and very many ladies
attend the afternoon and night per-
formances.
Last night was the banner night for
the Sheesley carnival shows, and rs
the crowds wended their way home,
carrying dolls, poodle dogs, teddy
bears and turkeys, they expressed the
opinion that the Sheesley shows are
the best ever seen in Americus, and
one man expressed himself thusly: "It
will be nightly lonesome when they
have done gone"
The Sheesley shows are here this
week under auspices of the local lodge
Of Elks, and have been accorded very
fine patronage. Hundreds of Ameri-
Gus people, ladies and gentlemen as
WELL attend the performances after
noon and evening.
One of the big features of the carni-
val shows is the wild animal section,
with its huge lions and other beasts.
Nero" one of the young lions, has
had trouble this week and for three
days refused to eat his LUNCH" and
kept bowling until the keepers bound
him down tightly. A bar was used to
prize open his jaws, and a tooth was
found partly fastened to his gum. The
tooth was extracted and just below it
a new molar was found trying to force
its way to the top.
