R|NGl|NG'S WILL
IS GIVEN PUBLICITY J
Great Snowman, With His Brothers,
Did Much to Elevate the
Circus.

AL Ringing, the eldest and best
known of the circus kings, who pass
ed away at his home in Baraboo,
Wis, on New Years day, left sever
al large requests. His will has re-
Gently been filed for probate. The
largest of the requests are, Mrs.
Ringing $325,OO0 and the home and
the magnificent theatre which Mr..
Ringing built in Baraboo about a
year ago. His share in the circus to
his four brothers. Mrs. Ida Ring
ling North, $4,000. Each nephew
and niece, $4,000. Thos. B. Buck
ley, $4,000. Chas Rooney, $1,000.
Chas. Smith, $4,000. The last three
have been connected with the circus
for many years.
In his home town-Baraboo-Mr.
Ringing was greatly liked. Great
wealth did not change him and he
was true to his friends and modest
in his tastes. He loved fishing and
most of the old fishermen in the
country recall days when they fished
with him. For Baraboo he had great
love and there he and his wife estab-
lished their fine home. Every bust
ness house in Baraboo was closed
during the funeral and hearts all ov-
err the county were saddened at the
passing of the man who, with his
brothers, has raised the circus busi-
ness to a high plane by Kidding it of
cheap vulgarity and dishonest
schemes, and by their work have
made the name OF Ringing Bros.

QUITE A JOB TO
GET PASSPORTS ||''' NOW
County Clerk Sterling Receives Lat.
est Instructions from
Washington.

County Clerk John c. Sterling has
just received from the federal gov
eminent new information concern
ing the issuance of passports to peo-
pie going to foreign countries. Since
SO many passport frauds have been
perpetrated, the state department
has become stricter in it's require
ments. People desiring to go must
first take the oath Of allegiance to
the United States whether they
have been born here Of citizen par
ents or whether they have been nat
uralized. Three photographs must
be filled with the application, which
is in duplicate. Two OF the photo
graphs must bear signatures of the
applicant and these signatures must
tally with the ones on the applica-
tions.
The applicants for passports must
swear their parents were born in
this country or that they were nat
uralized here and give other neces-
sary details--American citizens 60
ing to France must have their pass
ports viewed by French government
representatives in this country. The
United Kingdom requires foreigners
to register within twenty-eight days
after landing in Great Britain.
Travel from England to Holland and
Belgium is practically forbidden.
Russia requires full information as
to the places to be visited and the
nature of the business to be done.
The American government will
grant no passports unless the trip to
European countries is absolutely
necessary. If on a business mission,
the applicant must file letter from
the head of the firm he represents.
All passports expire in six months
and may be renewed only through
American representatives abroad and
then only upon sufficient cause be-
ing shown. In other words, If you
have no business in Europe, stay out
of it.. This is the message of the
state department..
