b. c. Zelinski, living near Salem, did
about as well. On his three acres he sold
l3,32S pounds at three cents a pound
There is nothing unusual about this
yield, Yet if the work was all done BY
the folks at home, the three acres
brought in $S99s4. Mr.. Zelinski lives
at Hazel Green.
George N. Thompson got in above the
average, as from his eight acres, he sold
46.594 pounds, which is almost three

Small Tracts the Best. :.
The general opinion of those interest.
ed in the loganberry industry favors the
planting of small tracts, with diversi.
fled farming. With the rapidly increas.
ing business of the two plants in Salem.
the future of the loganberry is assured.
The price of three cents a pound is
fairly well established, as it gives the
grower, the manufacturer and the re.
taller fair profit. In fact, all the
business OF the loganberry is based on
the price of three cents a pound This
year the picking cost one cent pound
but with the larger tracts, the difficulty
arises of securing pickers just at the
right time. All of which is an argument
for diversified farming. 1t is an ideal
crop for those who own but small tracts.

Barnum & BaleV's Circus

The giddiest, gayest, grandest, gilt.
teringest galaxy in the wnole wide,
wonderful world is trekking this way
and will spread its acres of tents here
on Saturday, September 9. If one does
not infer from this that reference is
made to the Barnum Bailey Greatest

regard the case as hopeless.
The first advertising ear is in this
city today and more than a score of
experts are spreading with tack and
hammer and paste and brush the flam.

proach of the big, travelling amuse.
ment institution. They are under the
direction of Arthur E. Diggs. a well
known advertising specialist.
This is the innovation of novelty
year, the greatest of all seasons. More
railroad cars are required to transport
the show, bigger tents are raised, more
area is needed to accommodate the
show tnan ever before. In fact, the
circus has reached point where it is
the despair of many of the smaller
railroads and taxes their facilities to
the limit, for eighty.rine cars are need.
ed to convey the gigantic canvas va.
grant from town to town.
There's material enough in this years
circus to make dozen circuses of the
old days. A "big top" $50 feet long,
nearly l.5OO employees, three rings, four
elevated platforms, acres of aerial APP
paratus, l0S cage menagerie, $50
horses, forty elephants, street parade
three miles long.
The stereotyped 'grand entree -,
with which the circuses were content
to open their program for many years,
has been permanently eliminated from
the Batnum & Bailey tournament. This
season the arenic entertainment is in.
augurated by the spectacular pageant
