The CITY election is not far off,

The city election is not far off,
and an effort must be made to
draft some good men to fill the
Offices which will be vacant this
spring. 1t is not right to expect
the same men to continue giving
their time to the looking after OF
city affairs, neither is it right
for any good enterprising citizen
to refuse to serve the city if he
is called on to do so. In times
past it has been the custom to
talk about this man or that man
for a city Office, but if this man
or that man would refuse the
place, then it has been the Gus
tom to lose all interest in the
matter and let the elections 60

thing seemed TO move along in this
same old way
A familiar figure was back at his
work again after an absence of nearly

was Lou Graham, the man who for 80
many years has made all the announce
ments in the ring. 1t is said that bis

The only one of the Ringing broth
ers present at the show was Charles,
with whom I had a short visit and
gathered few details as to both of the
big shows for the season. The Bar
mum Shows at Madison Square Garden
in New York have to turn away people
both at the matinee and in the evening.
Charles Ringing was not backward in
predicting that 1916 would be record
year for both the shows.
The show opens with Cinderella and
taking the music, the beautiful ward
robes and faultless dancing of hundreds
Of beautiful young ladies, many people
declared that this alone was worth
the price of admission. When this is
finished and the real circus commences
the new features engaged for the sea-

Show, who crossed the divide q shor t

was always at his post. and earned
big money and saved it all, and through
some wise investment, is said to have
left fortune anywhere from fifty
thousand to seventy-five thousand dol

Every year the show starts out with
a few old timers missing, some of
whom have put in more than quarter
of century in the business, and still
the band keeps on playing and there
always seems to be someone to take
their phase.

Washington is fairly convinced that
the Standard Oil Co. might, if it chose,
prevent the constant rise in the price
of gasoline. One suggestion is that an
embargo be placed upon gasoline, there
by shutting off the European market.
In view of the governments position in
relation to the shipment Of all other
kinds of supplies to the war countries,
it is not likely that attempts to regu-
late the prlce of gasoline will be along
the embargo route. Another legisla-
tive proposal favors the Selling of the
properties of the Standard Oil. An
other Congressman thinks the situation
might be saved if the interior Depart
ment would get busy and dig lot of
els throughout the country. The au-
tomobile manufacturers are anxious
that something drastic be done, as the
price of gasoline will Interfere with the
