RECORD
FOR QUICK MOVING

A remarkable situation is brought to
mind by the advent Of the AL. q.
Barnes big Touring wild animal cir
Gus, which is coming here on May s.
The record established by this circus
for quick moving is the remarkable
time of % minutes. 1t IS almost unbe-
lievable, but is vouched for by affida-
Wits from disinterested citizens not
connected with the show, who timed
the feat.
With its 1000 animals, its 200 cages,
its 100 other wagons, its hundreds of
electric lights and fans, its miles of
wiring, its numerous tents, thousands
of guy lines, more thousands of stakes,
dozens of huge center poles. thousands
of small pieces of property, its tons Of
rope rigging, hundreds of pulleys,
blocks and tackles, the entire Barnes
show was torn down, packed, rolled,
Gagged, packed in wagons, and off the
show grounds and on its way to its
two solid trains of double-length cars
in exactly % minutes.
The work was done under the super
vision Of the regular officials of this
department and not a stake was left
in the grounds-not piece of proper
ty was lost or broken, yet from the
moment the last patron had left the
tent-and not thing was moved dur
ing the performance, for it is one of
the rules of the show that not a seat
shall be moved, not a wagon put into
place, not a stake pulled until the full
and complete program is over-as the
hands of stop-watches marked % min
utes the entire grounds were cleared
and the last wagon was off the lot.
In addition to the "big top" the
stable tents, the stock, the animals,
the cook tent, the commissary, every
thing to be found in the army and the
animals beside was moved.
This remarkable mobility of such
cumbersome plants of circuses has
brought up much discussion in army
circles
"Why is it, army men and militia
officers are asking, "that circuses, with
a comparatively small corps of en-
ployes, who, not being under enlist
ment for any given period, and conse-
quently come and go, join on and drop
off, can handle such a complicated
thing as the Barnes circus, can handle
those Jungle e-bred animals, cage them,
pack the thousand and one things per-
tanning to gigantic amusement enter
prise such as Mr.. Barnes has, in frac-
tion of the time we can move smaller
plants with large corps of constantly
disciplined, highly trained soldiers
who are enlisted for term Of years
and who are trained to jump at COM
mandfo
Much discussion has been aroused
by the record for mobility established
by Mr.. Barnes. The average time,
night after night, is but few min
utes more than the record time.
Numerous militiamen and regular
army officials have watched the Barnes
circus moved and many soldiers have
been taken to see the work done. Yet,
as demonstrated in the movement to
Mexico, troops, property and housing
for men and animals cannot be moved
as fast in the regular army service as
it is by civilians who are governed by
nothing but ordinary routine and the
desire for their jobs.
Incidentally the great mobility of
the Barnes circus is a matter of great
pride to its proprietor.

The convention opened Friday even
ing with a large attendance. A rous-
ing song service was led by Rev. Ross
Turman. An address of welcome fol
lowed by Rev. l.. NJ Gates in behalf
of the Winnemucea churches. Next
came a busincss-like welcome from
Hon. L. G. Campbell who extended the
keys of the city with a word of eau
tion regarding some questionable places
of business. He said in part: 'The
business men welcome the convention
because the work of Sunday schools is
desirable, since the aim is to make
better boys and girls, which eventually
results in better citizens.
Secretary G. r. Fisher then intro
dueed Bishop George C. Hunting, who
spoke ON "The Church and the Com
munity." Bishop Hunting showed by
statistics that the Sunday school is
reaching less than half of the people,
and advocated a state survey to be
followed up with needed education
and legislation. Brief reference was
made to the divorce, liquor, race track
and gambling laws, and of Indian

NEWS NOTES OF
PARADISE VALLEY

In honor of the anniversary Of the
/. o. o. F. lodge, the ladies and gentle
men of the local lodges presented the
play, Tompkins' Hired Man, We'd
nesday evening at Kemler's hall.
The consensus of opinion is that it
was the biggest success of all the plays
given in this place. The different char
acters were admirably sustained
throughout and the costuming appro-
pirate and interesting. Although there
was a good sized audience, the hall
was not filed like it has been when in
ferior talent from outside were giving
entertainments.
Mrs Jas. Harvey, as Mrs. Tompkins,
played her rather difficult part in a
most admirable manner, displaying
marked ability to sustain heavy char
aeter part.
Mrs. Adele Case, as the vivacious
Ruth, was full of life from start to
finish, furnishing both amusement for
the audience and displaying eapably
the part of girl with quick wit.
Winfred Blakeslee, as Tompkins
Hired Man, Dixie, managed to carry
the audience from tears to laughter
and vice versa at different times.
Jas. Harvey very ably took the part
of Mr.. Tompkins in spite of the fact
that the reader in the wings did not
assist him on one occasion. This slight
mistake was practically the only slip
up in the whole play.
Ruth Austin, as Louise, and Alfred
Larson, as John Remington, played to-
gether most commercially. One would
judge that they knew considerable
about the ways of lovers.
Mrs Dora Bradshaw, as the spoiled
child, looked and acted the part well.
Wilkes Bradshaw, as Jerry, conduct
ed himself satisfactorily.

seven when he authorized The News

Mr.. Bowling would be a candidate, but
he didn't see the use Of drawing the
campaign ont unnecessarily long and
waited until today to definitely throw
his hat into the ring.
Although by no means a professional
politician, Mr.. Bowling is serious
factor in any political contest in this
county. This was well proven in his
first entry into the game five years
Iago. He announced for justice of the
peace Of Beat l. There were five 9th

the first primary receiving a consid-
cradle majority over all the other five
candidates.
Mr. Bowling's tenure Of the Justices
office of four years is his only politi-
cal experience, but in that service he
won the esteem and admiration of a
large number Of voters. His court
