city today with corps of thirty men
in charge of Arthur Diggs, well known
outdoor publicity specialist.
w. L. Wilken, the first arrival of
the press agents, is calling on the
newspapers, and once again the glad
tidings are being spread broadcast
telling of the coming of Barnum &
Bailey circus. The greatest show on
earth is announced will positively be
exhibited here on Monday, July %.
1t is promised that nothing to COM
pare with the present Barnum &
Bailey performance has ever before
been seen under canvas. New and
novel features have been imported
from abroad and program of events,
thrilling, educational and screamingly
funny will occupy every instant in
three rings, four stages, and riggings
above and the hippodrome surround
ing for more than three hours.
There is a new and gorgeous page
ant entitled, Aladdin and His Won
derful Lamp" in which nearly 1,400
persons and one thousand animals
appear in magnificent costumes rival
ing the dress of the people of the
famous Arabian Nights" story. This
will be followed by host of acts in
all parts of the great enclosure. There
will be sixty clowns, greatly in
creased menagerie of wild and un-
tanned animals, four great herds of
elephants, several caravans of camels
and many recently born baby animals.
The free street parade, which will
start from the circus lot at ten o'clock
on the morning of circus day, is en-
tirely different from anything of the
kind ever seen before. 1t will be three
miles in length.
With the largest tent in the history
of all circuses, the Barnum & Bailey
circus promises this season to make
good again it's boast that it is the
greatest show on earth. Five railroad
trains comprising eighty-nine rail-
road cars, will be required to trans
port it's paraphernalia, and more than
$50 horses will be used to transfer it's
wagons from the railroad yards to
the show lot.

SIN OF WASTEFUL-
NESS AND HOW
TO CURE IT

Rev. r. w. Hobbs, pastor of the
First Baptist church, in accordance
with the suggestion of Herbert Hoover
the food conserver, preached from the
July l. Taking as his text John 6:l2
IS, leather up the broken pieces
which remain over, that nothing be
lost" the preacher said in part: III
is Jesus Christ who has given us the
supreme example Of economy. By ex-
ample and by precept he instructs us
against the wastes of human life. II
was and is his great mission to seek
and to save the lost, and it is from
his teaching that we gather the great
thought Of human stewardship, OF
responsibility toward God in the use
Of our lives. 1t is not at all out OF
Keeping with spirituality to follow out
Mr.. Hoover's suggestion and to preach
against waste. The war will have
done at least one worthy thing If ii
shall teach us Americans the import
arce Of conserving our resources.
American people have been extrav-
agant Our reputation abroad as
spenders is not undeserved. Hundreds
Of millions of dollars have been flung
ON all sides in European countries in
former days, until the word American
became synonymous with wealth.
Our use of our natural resources,
forest, coal, water power, and the like
full spirit. The fight that we have had
TO make against rapacious men to
conserve our natural treasures is in
dicatiye of our recklessness.
we have also been wasteful and eX-
tfavagant buyers. Immense sums have
been squandered by people Of wealth
upon their living, their pleasures, and
their fads. And the wage earners,
both of moderate and scanty means
have initiated the extravaganza of the
wealthy.
Our table-waste alone is almost un-
beiievable. Herbert Hoover decares
that the waste in food amounts at
least to fifty dollars year for every
family in America. The waste OF a
single ounce of food each day in every
home means yearly waste Of nearly
500 million pounds of food. The waste
Of single slice of bread each day in
every home means the daily waste
OF a million loaves of bread. The
thousand million dollars Of needless
waste which thus takes place yearly
in the households of America can and
should be stopped"
But Mr.. Hoover has not noticed in
his warning the greatest waste in

The many friends of Miss Emma
Hovig will be pleased to learn that
she was married several months ago
to Mr.. Thomas Anderson. The we'd
ding took place in Seattle, where the
bride and groom have been employ

Of the newlyweds to come to Mankato

Seattle Electric light plant and is
spoken of as a very fine gentleman
He is also interested in an auto sup

SAVE SUGAR IN JELLIES
Uncle Sam Tells Housewives How
This Can Be Done.
TUnited Press DiSpatch


Washington, D. c., July 2.-Much
waste of sugar and spoilage of jellies
can be avoided by using a simple al
cohol test recommended by the bureau
of chemistry, United States depart
ment of agriculture. To determine
how much sugar should be used with
e"ch kind of juice put a spoonful of
juice in glass and add to it one
spoonful of 95 per cent grain alcohol,
mixed by shaking the glass gently.
Pour slowly from the glass, noting
how the pectin-the substance in
fruits which makes them jell-is pre-
cipitated. If the pectin is precipitated
as one lump cup of sugar may be
used for each cup of juice; if in sew
eral Jumps the proportion of sugar
must be reduced to approximately
three -fourths the amount of the juice.
If the pectin is not in Jumps but is
merely precipated, the sugar should
be one-half or less of the amount of
the juice. If the juice shows no preci-
pitation under this test, it is insult
able for jelly making and must be
combined with apples or other juices
rich in pectin.

Committee Is Named to Wage
Battle In Minnesota
KATO man ON The LIST
William Hamm, ST. Paul, Made
Chairman; They Will Devise
Plan of Action
From MONDAYS Daily.

st. Paul, July 2.-The committee or
law enforcement appointed by the
Minnesota brewers and brewers agents
took steps toward cooperating with
the Minnesota Public Safety Commits
sion when it met at Elks' club Satur-
day afternoon to map out tentative
plan for putting blind piggers, boot
leggers and conductors of disorderly
saloons out of business. These men
made trouble for the brewers and
legitimate dealers. A secretary, with
as many assistants as necessary Will
be appointed soon.
William Hamm is chairman of the
committee, appointed at the meeting
of the brewers yesterday, to devise
means for enforcing resolution de-
claring the association will use every
means to stop the illegal sale of liquor
and to cooperate with the Public
Safety Commission in the preserva-
ton Of law and order.
Bierbauer on Committee.
Other committee members are: ia
cob Kunz and John Gluek, Minneap-
oils; Fred Schuster, Rochester; John
Hoch, Duluth; John Dietz, Winona,
Otto Bremen, ST. Paul; Albert Bier
bauer, Mankato; L. ]. Peters, Cold
Springs; Charles Hauenstein, New
Ulm, and Robert H. Seng, st. Paul.
The brewers will have a list of ac-
credited dealers and as far as pos
sible, sales will be confined to these
and to those who use liquor for &C
tual home consumption.
Judge John F. McGee was present
by invitation of the brewers to tell
them just what the commission de-
sires of the liquor dealers.
He said that the commission looks
at the problem from the broad view
point of public safety and that the
illegal sale of liquor has become a
serious matter, especially in the GEN.
ters of large foreign population,
where labor disturbances occur fire.
quently. g..
Brewers Must Find Remedy.
The situation on the iron ranges
and at some points along the north
ern border Of the state is particular
ly dangerous, he said. He had no So
luton to offer. 1t is for those who
have had long experience in the bus
mess to find the remedy for the evils
and to apply it, he said.
The association decided to act on
Judge McGee's advice.
But the members declared that the
public is wrong in its belief that the
brewers are responsible for the blind
pigs and bootleggers. 1t was declared
not more than l per cent of the beer
sold falls into the hands of illegiti-
mate dealers and that the brewers
certainly have no interest in protect
ing the one per cent against the SO
per cent of legitimate dealers.
"The meeting was attended by 95
per cent of the brewers Of the state,
and we decided upon the fullest CO.
operation with the commission" Mr..
Hamm said 1--WE will have our force
organized and working within a few
days."

MEMBERS OF DRAFT BOARD
MUST STICK TO JOBS; Law
WILL NOT LET THEM RESIGN

ty auditor and DR.. C. J. Holman,
met this morning in the office of
the county auditor and formally
organized the board. Sheriff Os-
ten is chairman and County Au-
ditor Kennedy is clerk.
Pamphlets, containing instruc-
tions from Provost Marshal Cen
eral e. H. Crowder, are in the
hands of the board. The first
duty Of the board was to produce
six copies of the $500 names that
have been registered in Blue
Earth county. One of these cop
les is to go to the Provost Mar
shall general, another to Adjutant
General Wood and the other four
are to be posted in various parts
of the county.
A vast amount of clerical work
is required to get these copies
made. An appeal for help was
made to the local Red Cross
headquarters and help was prom
ised. Anybody who desires to help
the board in getting this clerical
work done, is requested to report
at the Red Cross office.

to the people of all sections of the
United States, that Mock Sad ALI con-
ceived the idea of taking the girls
around the world to entertain the peo-
pie of other countries.
The trip lasted four years and three
months and during that time every city
of consequence, in practically every
civilized country in the world was Wis
tied. In India, the home of magic, the
illusion act won great plaudits. The
same reception greeted them wher-
ever they went.
On their return to the United States
the girls married, one becoming the
bride OF hardware merchant and one
wedding an attorney. They are now
living at Caldwell, Kansas. One of
them is the mother of pretty baby.
