The hest day. as far as weathe
was concerned. that has ever beer
experie1 ced in Salisbury on Spark
oirons day. was that Of Monday
when this renowned circus opened
the 1915 season at this place. The
day was an ideal one or d everbod =
seemed delighted tbas shese shows
had such an auspicious day for
their opening.
Ali 80 o'clock the head Of the
street parade was seen coming In
West Innes street from she show
grounds and it turned lnto Fulton,
then to Liberty, to MAIN. to Bank,
to Ellis aid to Innes, where it
werded its way back e. the show
grounds. This parade was con-
sidered the best that has ever been
given here by Sparks circus, 1t
vas nearly mile in length and
was made up the usual variety of
open and closed dens Of wild ami
mals, men and women riders in
handsome costumes, 3 cr o bate,
clowns, slsphants, camels. etc ,
also two cslliopes, one of these
being new addition to the st,ses
pageant. Jack Phillips baud of
excallent musicians rendered an
abundance of choice selections
along the line CT march and at the
performance. Several new wag.
ons and the newly painted old
ones and in fact everything IN the.
parade gave evidence Of the we'll.
kept and clean character of che
Sparks shows. A noticeable fea.
ture of the procession was the use
of American flags only, Mr., Sparks
being strictly Neutral and be!isv.
ing in America first, last and al

The afternoon Performance was
not as we'll attended es expected,

but the evening performance was
quite wall attended. The rer

doubt the best ever presented to

one that held the attention of tbs
audience from start 80 flush, was
that in which Hillary Long was

PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE

Bad blood,-that is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and
pale,-is responsible for more all
ments than anything else.
1t affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes catarrh; in
others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-
tism; and in still others, weak, tired,
languid feelings and worse troubles.
1t is responsible for rundown
conditions, and is the most common
cause of disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
purifier and enricher of the blood the
world has ever known. 1t has been
wonderfully successful in removing
scrofula and other humors, increasing
the red-blood corpuscles, and building
up the whole system. Get it today.

lege. Manhattan.
by experiments conducted on
the college farm" says Mr.. Gate
wood, 1T was shown that 10
pounds of green alfalfa, cut and fed
in a dry lot. was equal to 100
pounds of corn. Six pounds of corn
was necessary to produce one pound
of pork, so the 10 pounds Of al
falfa produced 16 2-S pounds Of
pork. Estimating that during the
season an acre Of alfalfa will yield
10000 pounds of green hay, this,
If cut and fed green with corn,
would make 2OO2 pounds of pork.
Figuring the pork at 6 cents a
pound. it would mean that an acre
OF alfalfa was worth s122."

IRRIGATION THE THING IN
SOUTHWEST, SAYS CAPPER

zone of the really big, worth
while jobs now confronting the
people of the west and southwest,
especially, is the irrigation of the
great semi-arid plains which COM
prise much of the territory for a
hundred miles or more on either
side of the Rocky mountain slope.
In the Ell Paso section thousands of
acres of valuable land are untitled
and unproductive simply because,
through some twist, nature has de-
MED them sufficient moisture to
enable them to bring forth and
sustain vegetation in considerable
quantities." writes Governor Arthur
Capper of Kansas to James G. Nc
Nary of the board of control of the
irrigation congress, which meets at
Ell Paso October IA to IS with the
opening session lat the dedication
of the Elephant Butte dam Oct. IA.
Il believe there are fine posi-
bilties for wealth and progress in
these now uncultivated acres, once
they are supplied with moisture and
planted to crops. I am confident
that a great agricultural and indus
trial awakening awaits only the
development of an irrigation pro-
ject which will embrace this sec
ton. The opportunity is there. Ex-
periments more or less isolated and
in character have dem
beyond doubt that semi |
arid regions can be made to pro-
kinds of seasonable crops when
irrigated"

Neglect of Surface Cuts Expensive
Motorists who have been reading
the suggestions for the proper use
ard care of tires in this paper, will
find a statement recently made by
Mr.. John F. Quinn, local distribu-
tor of Savage tires, of considera BILE
interest.
I've build cool mileage into ey-
cry tire we put out. said Mr.. Quinn.
but it is up to the motorist to get
IT out We take pride in the records
Savage tires and Grafinite tubes
are making. we naturally like the
fullest cooperation we can secure
from the tire users. The proper re-
pair of surface cuts will assist Saw
age tires or any other tires to give
the good service that all of US in
the tire game like to see our tires
render
1T is an easy matter to repair a |
surface cut or jab when it is first |
noticed. A motorist can do the work
himself or her can have the repair
made at a very small expense. A
neglected jab or cut allows mois-
ture and grit to penetrate the tread
to the fabric, this soon results in
Of the fabric around the
injury and eventually leads to a
" eakened carcass and probably to |
blowout. Prompt repair OF such in
Iuries will add hundreds OF miles to
the average length OF service that
tires give.
I'VE have seen surface cuts that
we're patched without first remov-
Ing a sharp pebble. a piece Of metal
or some such foreign matter that
lodged in the bottom Of it, This,
Of course, only made matters worse.
Motorists who make their own re-
pairs should bear in mind the i'm
portance OF thoroughly cleaning the
cut before attempting to repair it.

ABILENE HIGH SCHOOL
NOT UP TO STANDARD

The North Central Kansas Asso'
citation of Colleges and Secondary
Schools published an interesting
list of such schools and their stan
dards of accrediting the same. One
of their requirements is as follows;
eThe number OF daily periods OF
classroom instruction given by any
teacher should not exceed five, each
TO extend over at least forty min
utes in the clear The board of in
spectors will reject all schools hav-
ing more than six recitation per-
iods per day for any teacher"
The periods in the Abilene high
school do not average forty min
utes on account of the over-crowd-
ed condition of the school.
Rule No. reads as follows:
mo school whose records show
an excessive number of pupils per
teacher. based on average attend
ance, shall be accredited. The as
ISOLATION recommends twenty-five
as a maximum. No recitation class
should enroll more than thirty
pupils"
The Abilene high school has sew
eral larger classes, numbering 33,
"a and SO respectively.
The two rules quoted above will
show that if the Abilene schools
were judged strictly according to
the rules of the association, they
would fall below the requirements.
This condition may be overlooked |
owing to the pending bond issue,
but probably would not be accepted
in the future unless conditions are
made to comply with the rules.

LONGFORD POSTOFFTCE
ROBBED OF $3.50

Thieves totally wrecked the safe
in the Longford postoffice last
night and escaped with between
$500 and $3.50 in stamps and
money. They also took about six
dollars from the Santa Fe depot at
that place No trace of the robbers
has been found. The explosions
were not heard and Longford peo-
Pile were in ignorance of the rob
berry until o'clock this morning.
1t is thought that this may be the
same gang that robbed the Ben
nington postoffice early in the
week.
