CIRCUS PERFORMERS
ARE ARRIVING
A Special Car Arrives Over the
Northwestern With the Animals
and Performers.

Animals and performers for the
Cole show are arriving daily for
practice for the Elks' Society Circus
which is billed to appear in this city
Thursday, Friday and Saturday OF
this week. Manager Kearns said this
morning that large number OF per-
formers are already in the city.
Princess Olga Celeste arrived on the
noon train from Chicago and will
appear in wonderful daring acts with
her pet leopards. Princess Olga S
photograph has appeared many times
of late in the Chicago papers, to-
gether with those of her beautiful
pets, and will be one of the best feat
ures of the circus here.
The dogs and ponies which are
daily arriving have been wintering
in Australia, having travelled with
the AL Wheeler shows all last win
ter. Members of the circus band are
also arriving, the director having
been secured from the Yankee Rob
inson Circus band, of which he was
leader. -.....-...................-.

Progressive Farmers.

Moorehead Times: Do you own
car? If so, pick up some of your
neighbors and drive out into the
country and use your eyes and your
native intelligence. Just take note
of the prosperous condition OF the
farmers everywhere you so. Are they
making their money and building
beautiful homes and buying cars by
simply drifting? Not much! They
work, and they use their brains and
their ingenuity as we'll as their
hands. No drifting with them. If
they see an opportunity to improve
conditions by the purchase Of piece
of new machinery, they buy it in
hurry and start it to earning more
money for them. If they think they
are not getting the proper returns
from their acreage they dig down
and unearth the cause and go to
work promptly to remedy it. ''Good
enotgh" does not appeal to them.
They want something better. and
they get it simply because they have
the will and the determination to go
after it, They are climbing the lad
der every day, and they have al
ready worked their way far up to-
ward the top.

Even the man who Is good only on

Pooh Eve must have found life
awfully monotonous with no other

Some people who happen to dream
of giving away money think they are
charitable and let it 90 at that.
Every wife imagines her husband
would appreciate her more II he had
to put up with some other woman
for about six months.
Advocates of minimum wage for

Banks Depend on Farmers.

"Most of the 300 banks in Iowa
would go out of existence were it
not for the resources of the Iowa
FARMS" said Dean c. F.. Curtiss of
Iowa State college in an address be-
fore the recent bankers convention
held in Ames. practically all of the
billion dollar proceeds from the 215,-
O0U Iowa farms goes Immediately in
to the banks and considerable of it
stays there. The most successful
bankers have known have invariab-
ly been men who have kept in clos
est touch with farming operations"
The relationship between the
bankers and farmers may be increas-
ed to the advantage of both parties,
according to Dean Curtiss. Vital
changes are bound to come in farm
financing. Instead of short time
loans at high rates, there will be
long time loans at lower rates on the
amortization plan of liquidating the
lnueDledneSS. Inc local DankS can
and will solve the local credit prob
lem. Iowa farm securities are good
enough to command long loans at
low rates. This system will secure
longer tenure and better farmer
on every farm. The banker can
make loans thereby that will insure
better buildings and more live stock.
That the largest and best equipped
farms in nearly every community
represents a larger capital invest
ment than the leading banks was
one of the interesting facts brought
out by Dean Curtiss in his address.
One township in the state with 20
farms averaged $4,000 farm

SOMETHING .NEW.
At MU|scAT|N| NJ
Webster City Man is Interested in
Automatic Railroad Model
Seen in That Town. !.

Eds. Freeman Tribune: At Musca
tine last week | saw something that
interested me very much and believe
it would interest most of your read
ers. 1t was a working model of an
automatic electric railroad. They
are supposed to have a power plant
in town and radiating' out from that
on each rural route is a railroad ele-
waited from seven to fourteen feet so
that it is above snow and ice all the
time; no bridges to build; no cul-
verts to make; no surveys to make,
because the government already has
the rural routes surveyed. 1t is auto
matte, so that all farmer has to
do is to call up headquarters and
| tell them he wants a car at his place.
They fix dial on the car to go so
| far and stop. Then they turn 1t
loose and it runs along at about IL
miles an hour. When it nears the
farmers place it goes into informed
late speed, which slows it down au-
tomatically. When it gets to his
switch it goes into the lowest speed
and stops right at his place, or upon
his switch, all without any one at
tending it. He loads it and touches
a button and away it goes back to
headquarters, where it can be sent
to any desired place, either out on a
real railroad or to the market. All
cars go in the one direction, hence no
collisions.
It can be developed into a rural
mail route, carrying all mail, par
cells, ETC., and to gather up school
children for the consolidated schools.
OF course on the mail routes and pas
senger cars there would be a man
along to run them. They could cross
any road because they are elevated
and all travel could go under them.
This looks quite visionary, but when
you see model that works automat-
ically and does all of these things,
| it gives an idea of what can be done
if it is fully developed. This is said
to be fully covered by patents and
the men showing it were trying to
sell stock. After they have shown
you all of this vision of what it can
do, for the rural neighborhoods,"
then for them to spring stock sell
ling scheme on you it makes you
think some. But they have got a
vision of something wonderful and it
might be very good stock to buy, as
it may be valuable some day. Stock
of any kind does not appeal to me.
This railroad certainly did. The cars
are to be Is feet long and to have a
carrying capacity of about $500
pounds each. Each car can go out
to a farmers place and get can of
cream, some potatoes, etc., from him,
then he can set it to go to his neigh
Dor or any one else on the way into
town, and it will go there and au-
tomatically stop and SO on. You
would have to see this elevated road
to know much about it.
