PORTRAYAL. OF DESTRUC-
TON OF POMPEII AT
MINI. STATE FAIR

Visitors to the Minnesota State
Fair. Sept. A to 8, will be carried
back 1000 years in time and
given an exact reproduction Of
the destruction of Pompeii by the
eruption of Mount Vesuvius in
days of Roman history. 1t is
said to be the most realistic spec
tacle of its kind ever produced at
the state fair.
The presentation of this vivid
spectacle will be given by means
of fireworks, a company Of over
400 persons assisting. The
scenery needed will fill a vast
open-air stage before the grand
stand, 400 feet wide and 200 feet
deep. Three grand ballets and
twelve splendid vaudeville acts
are Incidents of the performance.
The ballets are called The Car
nival of Roses The Dance Of
the Vestal Virgins" and "The
Tribute to Isis"
The spectacle opens with a Ro-
man carnival scene, in which the
sports, pastimes, games and
qIadiatorial combats Of the day
are depicted. Then comes the
contrast. Mount Vesuvius pours
a torrent of scalding lava upon
the helpless city at its feet. The
people of the city flee before the
swift advance of burning mud
but are caught and destroyed.
None escape.
Then comes the after-climax.
Quiet prevails. The sky is trel-
Used over with a violet light.
Peace arrives.

YOUR BUSINESS ABILITY

Thirty per cent. Of men who
fail in business do so because
they lack the know how" They
have no business ability. In the
previous talk we have endeavored
to show that the first essential
when a man engages in business
and borroWs money, or seeks
credit, is business character, and
that this character is more than
honesty. Of all risky credit, the
worst is that which has merely
honesty back of it. However
honest a man may be, if he lacks
the ability to make good" he
cannot pay; for good intentions
pay no debts. Banks are turn
ing down loans by the hundred
that are backed by honesty only.
The world is full of honest men,
so honest that they wouldn't
take paper from a newsstand,
or ride in a trolley gratis, but are
down and out because they lacked
the ability to make a business go.
We put no discount upon the
important element Of honesty,
but logic will quickly demonstrate
that unless back of honesty there
is ability the enterprise is sure to
fail. Many a business has been
left in a healthy state by a father

Our base ball team went to
Hinckley Sunday but returned
with the short end of the score,
the result being 9 to Is in favor
of Hinckley. The Hinckley team
was strengthened considerable
since the game of a week before,
a new pitcher being added and
two or three other heavier play
ers. The pitchers on both sides
were hit hard for many safe hits
which accounts for the high score.
Our boys were a little dissatisfied
with the umpiring handed them,
a young Hinckley lad of II or Is
being chosen to do the job.
Evidently he was afraid to make
any doubtful decisions against
Hinckley and several of our base
runners were called out when
they should have been safe. But
there is no use of bowling. 1t is
the opinion Of the writer that we
would have lost anyway even
with fair umpiring, but neverthe-
less the score would have been
closer. Our boys are not in con-
dition to play a good game of ball
practice and considerable limb
ering up" being sorely needed.
The first man up to bat in Sun
days game was o. r. Keller.
The first ball pitched struck him
on the hip and later on in the
game he was struck on a finger
which kind of put a crimp in his
playing. Thus the team lost the
good support of the best player
Several others had strained
muscles and could not run bases
faster than an old woman. The

when they came home.

to a son, only to go to pieces be-
cause the son did not inherit the
fathers ability and could not see
that it was necessary to buy or
acquire it.
Therefore the second thing the
banker expects to find in your
business life is business ability.
This is easily demonstrated by
your past performances. Your
advertising, your store, your
dress, your bank account, your
energy, your delivery wagon,
all cary evidence of how we'll you
can do. Many a business man
has been eking out a miserable
existance, sitting around, waiting
for something to turn up, hoping
something will come to the town
to make business better, having
ten places for every dollar he
gets his hands on, half fed and
poorly clothed, honest to the core,
but lacking the push to make a
business succeed. The banker
will not lend to such a fellow.
He lacks the essential element

You may argue that ability is
inherited, or that it comes from
education, and excuse ourself.
Bosh! Every man gets the edu-
cation he wants, if not in school,
then by himself. If you haven t
ability and can't acquire it, you
can buy it in the other fellow.
Brains are always for sale at a
price. And the man who lacks
business ability, and cannot see

money to buy it (many great

Capitalize your honesty by
coupling it with ability, and make
your ability valuable by devoting
it to honest ends. Be on the
level, but be very busy while on
the level.
After all, thrift is merely the
ability to do--to earn; and earn
ing, to save. The ability that
gets a man nowhere financially
is a misdirected ability; for the
man who applies himself to a
definite end, and is honest in his
application saves money as a
natural sequence; and when you
ask your banker to lend you
money, his first question will be:
Have you any of your own?'

ROCKCLIFFE FELLOWES IN "THE REGENERATION" AT THE
 ORPHEUM.

Owen Klldres great story My Mamie Rose" is to be the Fox fea- ture at the Orpheum Sunday and Monday nights. Rockcliffe Fellows and Anna e. Nilsson. two new peo- pie to Juneau theatre patrons. will have the important parts. There are scenes of New York life in this play that are too human and too perfect to describe by words The part of Mamie Rose is taken by Miss Nilsson who has for years been considered one of the sweet est and most charming actresses of lthe shadowy screen The play treats of social problem with caste as the keynote and tends to show that it is barely possible to raise man from the slums, but that a union between a man or the underworld and a woman of Che better class would tend to degrade her rather than elevate him.
