NO DEATHS IN FAMILY

In the passing of the fftieth we'd

cumstances come to light. In the
first and foremost place Mr.. Carr
though nearly 70 years old still re-

the most active men in the romnlun
ity, il his busine of st.uc ;ural con-
tracing doing the hardest of man

Mr.. and Mrs. Carr passed the
fiftieth milestone in their married
career September 18th. They have
nine children, 26 grandchildren and
6 great grandchildren, all living; in
fact there has not been a death in
their family during the past e
years, truly a remarkable curcum-

Joy and consolation. Though natives

CIRCUS SKILL
Most of Carl Hagenbeck Wallace
Performers Have Inherited

Most of Carl Hagenbeck Wallace
Performers Have Inherited
Daring.
Nearly all on the list of circus
performers have inherited their
strength and skill. They have been
literally born to the arena. Some of
them represent the third and fourth
generations of famous circus fami-
lies. The boys and girls of the Carl
Observation-Disclosures Circus, which
comes to Lake Charles, Wednesday,
September 26th, number nearly two
score.
The training of these children be-
gins almost at birth. Indeed in the
vast majority of cases there is the
powerful effect Of heredity which
exercises an influence upon the
child and helps it to overcome obsta-
Giles to others we'll nigh impossible.
The chief effort is to create courage
and daring. The muscles must be
developed and the lungs expanded,
but at the same time the brain must
not be neglected Many a gymnast
has mental abilities often lacking in
the ordinary man He has to under.
stand some geometry and mathe-
mates else how can he calculate the
exact distance of a jump, a fall or
somersault.
The Carl Hagenbeck Wallace show
is one of the most famous circus in
stitutions in the world. Nearly 1000
employees travel with the show,
while 108 advance men travel ahead
advertising the circus. Three rail-
road trains are needed to move the
show from city to city. In the day
time twenty two tents house the big
circus, covering small size farm.
On hundred and twenty-five head Of
J looded horses are used in the per-
formance. Over 400 head OF power
ful draft stock are used for moving
the ponderous red wagons.
A three mile long street parade
will open the circus festivities. 1t
will leave the show grounds at 10
o'clock on the day of the exhibition.
Performances will be given at 2 and
8 p. m. The doors to the Carl Ha-
'genbeck geological paradise will be
opened an hour earlier. One ticket
will admit to everything advertised.

ROANOKE ENTERTAINED
DEPARTING SOLDIERS

Monday night the citizens Of Roa.
noke rendered q delightful reception
to the departing soldiers from Roa-
noke and Welsh, inviting Welsh
friends to participate. The affair
was largely aattended and was a de-
light to everyone. Of the three hun
bred and more present at least sixty
we're from Welsh. The entertain
nent was gotten up on very short
notice, first announcement having
been made on Sunday afternoon. but
IN spita Of this fact nothing was
lacking, and it Is certain that the
departing soldiers are carrying with
them to the training camp a linger-
ing remembrance Of the sincerity Of
their friends and neighbors and full
realization of the confidence reposed
in them.
The entertainment was planned as
an occasion Of jolly farewell to the
departing soldiers and despite the
fact that there are a number Of pa
thetic instances in which the clos
est of family ties are being tempo
rarily severed, the sad phases were
smothered in jolly good fellowship.
The reception was held at the u.
B. church which was appropriately
decorated for the occasion. W. F..
Tietje, as master of ceremonies, d.
rected the very interesting program
which included patriotic songs by
Jennings famous male chorus; read
ing by Mrs. J. E. Bowers; and a very
appropriate patriotic address by the
Rev. W. Lomax Childress, pastor OF
the U. B. church. Everyone who
hears Rev. Childress one time is
anxious to hear him again, and as
this occasion furnished him an OPP
portunity for the expression of deep
and sincere thought on broad and
momental topic he was, it may be
said, at his best and his hearers re-
GREETED very much that his time al
lotment was limited.
The Roanoke people on this occa-
son surpassed their established rec
ord as entertainers. 1t is we'll
known throughout this section that
it is a safe bet to. accept any invi-.
tat'on extended by the Roanoke
folks. The Sunday school annex of
the church was turned into a ban
quet haf where the entire gathering
was served with refreshments of ice
cream and cake. The departing SOL
diers will carry with them, no mat
ter where their destination. fond re-
membranes Of the evening before
their departure for the training
camp.

 FOR BOATS FOR
 THE FISHERIES
Motor Crafts for Alaska Department of Bureau of Fisheries to
 Be Conducted.

According to adyices received or the City of Seattle today, bids for the construction of two 4S.foot motor. boats, designed by Martin c. Eris' man, well known naval achitect, will be asked from Seattle and other Pu. get Sound yards by the United States Bureau of Fisheries, which will use the vessels in connection with the fisheries service in Southeastern Al. aska. Ten thousand dollars was ap' propriated by the lest Congress for the boats. Erismann has been re tnined by the Bureau to supervise their construction.

Each will have accommodations for a crew of two men forward and quarters for two inspectors in raised house aft, with pilot house and galley forward of amidships. A mast with a small spread of sail for use in emergen- cies will be provided on each boat. In design they will represent a modified seine boat model and will possess all the sturdy sea-going qual- ities of that type.

 BOSS OF KITCHEN

OREGON, H., Jan. 3.-Mi5s Flor, ence Lowden, daughter of the gov ernor.eleCt of Illinois, Frank o. Low. den, will "bOss" the kitchen of the executive mansion at Springfield when her father takes his seat.
 She says so herself, and the gov. ernor is delighted. Miss Lowden learned how to cook in a school at Middlebury, Conn.,, from which she was graduated last June1 and she has been experimenting on the fam. fly since then.
 "Florence's Creamed potatoes are the best arguments for higher edu. cation ever saw" says the gover. nor-to.be.
 Miss Lowdcn was the star of her domestic science clcSG. Last year she and some of her classmates took charge Of the cuisine of fa. nous inn near their school and for 3 week put on a demonstration of what they had learned. The inn had a sudden increase in trade.
 Cooking however, is not the only one of Miss Lowden's accomplish. ments. At school she took three gold medals-for mathematics, arts and general standing as a senior. She also has found time to devote herself to the study of painting.
 Agriculture will claim he: next. She plans to take Q course at the University of Illinois, and later Col onel Lowden is going to let her take and run a 12O-acre farm which he owns.
