Auditor. Emmons County. N. ID.
With this issue the Record is at

With this issue the Record is at
tempting some considerable changes
in its makeup. The old seven-column
pages are being discarded for the six
column size. There will be more read
ing matter than ever, though, for eight
pages instead of four will be pub
lished each issue.
AS an experiment we are including
a page of German. Emmons county
has vast German-speaking popula-
ton. Many of them have never had
chance to learn the English language
to any great extent, and the English
newspapers are closed book to them.
There is no reason why these people
are not as deeply interested in the
welfare of the country in which they
live as any others. They are not al
ways given fair show in keeping
abreast Of the times. Many German
newspapers purposely cater to the old
German attitude of Deutschland uber
Alles," and many German-speaking
Americans never have chance to
read the news that is open to their
English-speaking brothers. Therefore,
the Record not only desires to fill al
economic want and to accommodate
the German readers, but it would lik.
to be able to talk to them directly
each week as it does to the English
reading public. We want the Germans
to know of county affairs, of state do
ings and of world war news. And we
guarantee that the news they receive
will not be highly-colored. 1t will b.
straight-out American facts as near
as they can be secured. The Record
is proud to Fundamentally support
the government 1t will try to do its
share, through the medium of its Ger
man news department., to stimulate
pride in the American citizenship of
its readers.
| The Record has never attempted to
pander to the selfish man, the egotist
or the professional politician. 1t has
attempted to make itself worthy of ex-
istence. The German department will
be guided by the same aim.
If the new department will not pay
without warping and twisting the
news to suit some class, it will be dis
continued promptly. If it proves of a
legitimate benefit to any reasonable
number Of Emmons county citizens, it
will be worth the effort.

+, day, May 28, for two performances
afternoon and night, rain or shine
The Cole aBros. show is larger ane
greater than ever, with nothing old
but everything new The slogan o1
this mammoth organization is Differ.
ent, Up-to-D Date and Ahead of That"
w. The Cole Bros. are the most pro.
gressive and wide-awake men in the
show business; nothing escapes then
eagle eye; their name stands fol
everything that is clean, wholesome
meritorious, glorious and unblemished
Merit and magnitude always consid:
cred, suggestiveness and vulgarity
relegated-the comfort of women and
children their first duty. ~
Hundreds of men and women per-
formers and workingmen are carried
with this show, also 300 horses and
shetland ponies, droves of camels
herds Of elephants, ten dens of open
cages of man eating lions, bengal tig-
ers, leopards, panthers, tigers, pumas
grizzly and polar bears, hippopotami
ostriches, monkeys, horned horse, sac
red OK, jaguars, and many others, in
Guiding Cole Bros famous group Of
$4,000 black-maned, African-bred,
performing lions. No show in the
world has a finer travelling zoo than
that owned by Cole Bros the great
est performing savage wild beasts, the
wonder and admiration of the goth
century. :.~.
The monster street parade, starting
here promptly at 10 o'clock; is the
talk Of every town visited. It is un-
approachables in wealth and gorgeous
trappings, costly velvet costumes,
sleek. and shining Arabian horses, cuet
est Shetland ponies, donkeys, goats
and strange wild animals, glistening
gilded chariots, four brass bands,
Egyptian caravans, droves of camels
and dromedaries and funny clowns ga
lore, making princely display Of a
magnificent pageant.
Truly the Cole Bros show is unique
in it's magnitude of superb entertain
ment. Leaving the wild animal de-
partment, great delight is furnished
by an unprecedentedly long list of
European novelty acts. Prof. Barry's
trained ponies are the delight of the
children. Madame Rogers High
School act is most diverting; the
Whites in their entrancing iron jaw
and human butterfly diversity; The
Great Burson, wire walker and achro-
bat, presents. an. artistic array Of new
and novel feats in head and hand bal
ancing; while an imported act Of un-
usual excellence is that given by Prof.
and Mrs. Rogers with the only horses
in the world doing the Spanish tango;
Charley Post and his twenty comical
clowns; and hundreds of other attrac-
tions offer the big holiday treat of
the season.
Performance will be held on the big
lot west of the Heaton Lumber Com
pany. So ae.*
