Advertiseing Brings Results.

Mrs. E. B. Smith had us insert a small ad in this paper a few weeks ago advertising her farm and home for sale. We suppose she has sold her home as she has instructed us to leave that part of the ad out, and we learn today that MT. Chas. H. Degenhardt of Alton, Ill.,, is here looking over the farm lands. The gen. tleman is a regular paid-in-ad- vance subscriber to The Home News and saw Mrs. Smiths ad in the same. If you have some thing to sell, we can find a buyer and bring him to you, but when we do this, our duties cease for it is then up to the advertiser to make the sale. Try an ad in this paper.

1t will be recalled that some years
ago the RingIings had one of the
largest crowds in Watertown that the
| aggregation has ever had. the pleas
ure of entertaining under one tent.
There was an afternoon performance
only. The large show tent was pack
ed to suffocation. 1t was necessary
for the sea of humanity to solidify a
little more in order that the perform
ing elephants might enter the rings.
The elephants walked between dense
masses of human beings, and after
they had passed the gap would close
up only to open again at the con
clusion of the ring stunts.
The usual chariot races had to be
dispensed with, because all the avail
able space was literally covered with
humanity.
1t was reported at the time that
more than tewnty thousand people
were under the big tent.

People now living in Watertown
distinctly remember when the Ring.
lings went about the country with a
very small affair compared with their
present mammoth show, now con.
ceded to be one of the very best, il
not the best, in the world.
The street parade was abandoned
for a season or two some years ago,
not with the Ringlings, but with 9th.
er big shows of its character. 1t was
found, however, that the street pa.
fade is a necessary adjunct of the
big circus and menagerie. While il
costs something in the way of labor
and some expense to have these daily
parades, it is declared that the inter.
est aroused more than compensates
for the trouble.

SEC. LANE SAYS LAND BEING
 TAKEN UP

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. Public lands in the United States are being taken up by homesteaders in rapidly increasing quantities as shown in the annual report of Secretary of the In terior Lane. Twenty million acres were claimed by private owners in the year ending with June 30, as against seventeen millions for each of the preceding two years, and still small Ter average for previous years
 Of the two hundred and fifty mil lion acres of public land still left in the United States much is in the arid region. The reclamation service car ried on construction work on A irri- gation projects, completing ten and adding 5000 farms toterritory for which irrigation water is available Irrigation water is actually going now to nearly 10000 farms.
 The report emphasizes the work of the Indian bureau, whose health cam paign, it is declared, has cut the death rate among Indian to seven in one thousand. The bureau has conducted a campaign to save Indian babies by giving Indian mothers proper care Hospitals were constructed and addi- tional physicians were employed in the health campaigns.
 Commentator is bestowed on the work of the bureau of mines in devel- oping methods of testing low grade complex gold, silver, lead and zinc ores, which it is claimed promise to rejuvenate mining in certain parts of the country and make valuable mil lions of tons of ore that now cannot be treated. The bureau since It's or ganization has trained forty-One thou sand miners in mine rescue work.
 Agricultural possibilities in Alaska are a matter of conjecture, although in some parts of the territory the hardier cereals and vegetables are be ing grown. Completion of the railroad now being constructed from Seward to Fairbanks will do much for the development of Alaska, the report says.

BRAZIL ADVISED TO REMAIN
 NEUTRAL

RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. F. - Dr. LaurO Muller, the foreign minister of Brazil, who has been absent in the United States for the past four months, has returned to this city and with him came the vexed question of neutrality and that of the attitude Brazil should assume in the present European struggle For some time past the BraZalian public has been agttated over the utterances of Sen ator Ruy Barbosa, the eminent Bra zilian jurist and statesman. who has repeatedly cOunselled the Brazilian people to espouse the cause of the allies in warm and open manner. Dr. Muller, in his reply to the of ficial speech of welcome made at the great reception rendered him by the people Of Rio, advised an adherence to the strictest neutrality, and told his large audience that the salvation Of Brazil rested in the energy, cour- age and initiative which Brazilians might have in the fight to restore the damages caused by the shock of the great war
 No country in South America has suffered more from the effects of the war than Brazil Economically the war dealt all of South America a heavy blow, but particularly it hit Brazil. It cut off some of this eountry's best customers. it damned up the source of considerable of its supplies, tight ened the purse strings of its bankers, and for a time threatened to paralyze all big public enterprises under con struction. The story is told by the foreign trade reports of the past three years.

The so-called transcontinentaI rate case has been the subject of hearings and controversies between shippers and railroads for many years.

The report included statistics and discus sions of many phases of the complex problems of martial relations.
 As to divorce. it says: At this mo ment il is thought that one marriage in ten is broken by divorce. and that in some states the proportion may be IS high as one in four"
 Tt is a striking fact" the cOmmis, sion says, that in the majority of di- voree cases dissolution Of marriage has occurred, not hastily after a brief trial, but deliberately after a cOnsid- erable period Of marriage, the average exceeding six and one-half years. Com mon observation will show frequency of divorce among people who have been married twenty years or more, "
