COLE BROS. CIRCUS
HERE ON JULY 2

"Wagons lumberin' from the station,
Urchins fiocking to the sight,
Tents spring up like fairy mushrooms
Grown to cities in an hour.
An the ponies go to water at the
e, trough up on the square,
An the youngster who is sick in bed
is all that isn't there,
For the blood is fairly dancin' when
the circus comes to town"
The Cole Bros Big Three Ringed
Trained Wild Animal Show, gayest,
grandest, gladdest pageantry is coming
to Hood River Monday, July 2, for two
performances. This year on its 39th

own two steel trains.
The country for miles around is

purple and gold and the down town bill
boards are gazed upon by thousands of
eyes. The joys and memories of circus
day keep a steady hold upon the heart
strings of the American people.

entirely new. Hundreds of wild ami
mails, lions. leopards, tigers, pumas,
jaguars, elephants, monkeys. are
trained to do all kinds of tricks,
Cheerful" Gardner and his troupe
of elephants are recognized to be the
best trained in the world. a. ssss
Chas. Gay has done wonders in his
training of lions, Gaping the climax
of his wonderful act by puttingshis
head in the largest lions mouth.
Fearless little Muriel Croft is seen in
the steel arena with a group of the
most ferocious animals, leopards. PAN
Tiers and tigers. These acts are SEN
sational and keep the audience on tip
toe of expectancy during the entire
two hours performance.
The remarkable performances of the
Mizunos troupe of japanese acrobats
attracts especial attention everywhere.
This wonderful troupe of Japanese per-
form feats of juggling, balancing, bar
rel kicking and acrobatics. ssA.S
The Wizardi troupe of wire walkers

RED CROSS RUMORS
ARE MISINFORMING
Hood River, Or, June 20, 1917.

Hood River, Or, June 20, 1917. .
Editor Glacier: 1t has come to my
attention that rumors are current to
the effect that the meals served at the
recent business dinners and luncheons
of those engaged in local Red Cross
work were paid for out of the Red
Cross fund collected. / am chagrined
that such reports have gained circula-
tion thus hurting our work of seeking
funds and doing an injusticesto the
men engaged in the cause. The re-
ports are without foundation, and this
frank statement is made to set the
public mind at ease. Local men work.
ing for the Red Coss have found it a
convenient method of carrying out their
plans with dispatch by assembling at
the local hotels at the evening meal
time. !. Each individual pays forl his
meal. ,. - Ia. - ----~- -ssSc ~ 4
.. Every penny secured here for the
Red Cross, by subscription or other
wise. goes either to the National head
quarters or is used in the purchase of
supplies and other such attendant ex-
penses. The cost of administration is
absolutely nothing, since the work of
all connected with the organization is
gratis. When these facts are fully
known, | feel sure that Hood River
people universally will express an APP
probation of the work done by the
Hood River valley men and women who
have so cheerfully and in patriotic
spirit donated their valuable time for
the great cause. Respectfully,
sssS &C - Z. o. Blanchar,

There's a story now current, tho
strange it may seem,
OF the great Kaiser Bill and his Won
derful dream.
Being tired of the allies, he lay down
ssss in bed, -
And amongst other things he dreamt
he was dead
And in fine coffin was living in state,
With a guard of brave Belgians who
lamented his fate.
He wasn't long dead till he found to
his cost,
That his soul, like his soldiers, had
surely been lost.
On leaving the earth to heaven he
went straight,
And upon arriving up there gave a
knock at the gate.
But st. Peter looked out, and in voice
loud and clear
Said: "Begone, Kaiser Bill, we don't
want you here.
''Well," said the Kaiser, that's very
uncivil,
l suppose after that must go to the
devil?"
So he turned on his heel and off he did
90 A. vs-sS
At the top of his speed to the regions
below
And when he got there he was filled
with dismay,
When waiting outside he heard Old
To his imps: "Nov look here boys,
l give you a warning,
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here in
the morning.
But don't let him in, for to me it's
quite clear s@aa, s.
He's dangerous man, and we don't
want him here.
If once he gets in there'll be no end of
- quarrels, p '.ssss vss-z.------ -
In fact Pm afraid he'll corrupt our
tssss good morals. - i; -. i. - -; -
20, Satan, my dear friend, the Kai-
.- s.- ser then cried, - -. -
Excuse me for listening7.while wait
ing outside.
If you don't admit me where can l
go?"
Indeed said the devil, 81 really
don't know"
ooh, do let me in, I'm weary and
cold"
Said the Kaiser, quite anxious to enter
Nick's fold.
"Let me sit in a corner, no matter
how hot. :"
No" said the devil, "most certainly
not.
We don't admit people for riches OF
pelf;
Here are sulphur and matches, make q
hell for yourself. ,"
Then he kicked Wilhelm out and van
ished in smoke,
And just at that moment the Kaiser
awoke.
He jumped out of bed in shivering
| sweat,
And said: well, that dream shall
never forget.
That l won't go to heaven / know
very well,
But it's really too bad to be kicked out
of hell. "
