CIRCUS DAY PASSES
WITHOUT CONIMOTION.

Wednesday last week was circus
day I'm town. This fact was per-.
haps. not generally known thruout
the city, but, nevertheless. the
artists of the snwdust arena were
performing before a small audience
ON North Fourth Street ON thnt
day. The whole performance,
though Juvenile In every sense of
the word. proved to be a great sue
cess and netted the circus per-.
formers the huge sum Of 60 cents.
The admission charges were small
and the. sale of circus delicacies
was limited to candles only, so the
manager of the big show considers
the show big success, under the
circumstances.
The youngsters, who promise to
Outshine Ringlings and the world
famous Bnrnum and BAILEY, show
ed their patriOtism. by donating
the entire proceeds of the per-
formancestO the Red Cross chapter
of this city. Such sacrifice on
their part for this great cause Is
indeed to be praised and the meag-
er donation Is valued by the local
Red Cross workers, as much, as IL
the entire proceeds from d per-
forInance of Ringlings had been
donated to the chapter.

rest, began to look for quiet and shady
places, where they could enjoy their

the day in this contest. 1t has been
rumored that "Bill'' Juring made home

MARKET COMMIT TEE
HOLDS MEETlN
Committee Discusses Many Important
Matters and Plans to Relieve Any
Stringency in Market Conditions.

Another meeting Of the county mark
citing committee was held last evening
at the office of r. G.. Mathwig. "A
number Of representatives from War.
Sren, Oslo, Viking and Radium in this
county, were present.
In opening the meeting Mr.. Mathwig
in = few words explained to the COM
mittee members the Importance and
the nature OF their work and the de-
tails Of marketing the surplus crops
In each community. They are to see
to 1t that marketing conditions in their
respective localities will continue as.
nearly normal as possible The mem
bers are given authority by the state
to act in such manner, as they may
see f1t, to remove the different condi-
tions that would tend to hinder normal
marketing Of the 1917 crops. Their
task is vast one; but if they are Civ
en- the unanimous support and CO.
operation Of their community, the work.
will 1go on successfully with out ques-
tiOn.
The coal shortage question was one.
of the important matters brot up be-
fore the meeting. It was learned that,
the shortage was caused by the lack
of cars, as well as short supplies at
the mines and coal docks that must
supply the whole northwest before
winter sets in The sentiment that
prevailed at the meeting i1r~ regard to
this issue was that the government
will soon take over the mines and
then see#to it that coal is distributed
at reasonable prices. Each committee
memberSWas requested to ascertain the
amount Of coal used in his community
and find just how much has been ship
ped in up to the present time. Mr.. G..
l.. Spaulding, who was present at the
meeting, said that Warren has shipped
in more hard coal thus far this season.;
than in any previous year, but the sup
ply Of soft coal is not sufficient
The live stock situation was again
brot to light and was thoroly discussed.
The farmers of this section are adj
vised to buy western range cattle and
feed them here for yearNor so. The
proceeds net a neat profit for the
man who has feed and shelter and
understands the handling Of beef for
the market
The storage Of the potato crop was
also advocated as the prices of spuds
will be low this fall and in order to get
a fair return from his Investment the
farmer should store them until the
market condition is normal and thus
profit by holding his potatoes on the
farm. IS
Owing to the lateness of the hour
meeting was adjourned at this juno
tures and it stands without question
that good results will be accomplished
by these representatives and if given
1.-THE proper cooperation, will assist ma
terially in bettering the marketing con-
ditions in Marshall county.

Reasons why American corn. potato.

and will permit a maximum Of so per

1t has been found, does not make a
healthful loaf.
In the case of corn. 1t is pointed out
that this commodity in the form OF
meal cannot be shipped. because 1t
would spoil in transit. As to the
whole grain, there is the objection
that the people on the other side have
no mills In which to grind it. Fur
thermore. corn bread cannot be baked
successfully in bakeries. on which Eu-
ropean people depend almost exclu-
sively for their bread. In addition. 1t
