The prime reason for this increase
is the thing that we want TO bring
to your attention very forcibly. The
masses Of people that have hereto
fore not been considered prospects,
because OF the fact that their earn
ing power was not sufficient, because
Of the high price of labor and the
possibilities of making profits out of
this, that and the other kind of bust
ness, have become prospects and are
purchasing automobiles.

Canada, has strengthened it fnanci-

Circle Trims Richey
Only Is to 8

Another scalp has been added to
local ball teams list of victories,
when they gave Richey a rubbing.
Last Sunday the local team ac-
companied by most of the residents
of town, autoed over to Richey to
play the team of that place, and
really looked for a pretty fair
game, although we had the scores
counted before going over there.
The locals really expected a
good practice game at least with
the boys of the new railroad"
town, butwere sorely disappointed.
One of the Richey boys wanted to
know if the Circle team was going
to make race track out of their
diamond. Well they came very
near it, as the final score was Is
to 8 in Circles favor.
Circles pitcher MIR. Bergland
proved to be too much for the
Richey boys, they couldn't see the
ball for smoke, the rest of the
boys also all played good ball.

painful accident last Saturday,

The injured lady was brought
to Circle as soon as help could be

evening.
At latest reports Mrs. Crooker

What Brockway Says
Of Our Celebration

The Brockway Bulletin says that
outside of the aeroplane flight the
Circle celebration didn't amount to
much. Is that so 90? Never
the less it was the Circle celebra-
ton that put the "kibosh" on the
Brockway doings and we noticed
that Brockway (town) and vicinity
was well represented at our July
4th doings.
Say Brockway do drop your
Hammer and go get Horn"
Let's be neighborly and fair.
Here is what the Bulletin had to
say:
The aeroplane proved a strong
attraction at the Circle celebration
in fact it was pretty much the
whole show-and drew the great
share of the crowd. The condi-
tions were ideal for flying and the
bird-man did stunts that proved he
understood his business. Outside
of the first innings the ball game
was fairly good. The country lads
held the Circle team down in pretty
good shape. Good support was all
that saved the Circle pitchers
bacon. To those who have seen
the real article, the bucking con-
test proved rather tame. Young
Hutchinson, of the Paris country
was thrown and cut some about
the head. This accident furnished
about the only real excitement.

Circle Chautauqua Wei

Last Tuesday evening seen ~
last program of the five-day Chau
tauqua which was conducted here
and considering the short notice
and little advertising it received
before their arrival, it was indeed
1,o1l o++ondod ca
The Jones-Dakota Chautauqhe
System is considered one of the
best in the Northwest and it car
truthfully be said that their enter
tainments and lectures were of the
highest class. Everyone seemed
more than pleased and really con-
sidered it wonderful that such an
excellent company would come out
here so far from railroad under a
big expense, to town this size.
The reason of their coming here
was that they had an open date,
and having OfcOurSe heard OF the
coming city of Circle, the advanced
agent came out here and ofcourse
Circle was booked.
The Chautauqua as a whole was
a decided success and has put
Circle on the map in still larger
letters than ever before.
The Royal Neighbors had charge
of management and to them is due
lot of credit for their efforts.
Although contracts have not
been signed up yet it is almost GER
tain that next year will see the
company here again.

For Lutheran Church

Although the local Lutheran
Church organization will not
build a church this year, it is now
practically sure thing that they
will build a large basement on the
church site this fall.
The basement will be about 26
x34, and s or 9 foot high with tenn
porary roof on so that it can be
used for services.
Already $3.50 has been SUBJ
scribed for the building of said
basement.

Dear Mr.. Larson:
am in receipt of your letter of

the extension of the railroad in
that locality, asking me certain
questions with a view to advanc-
ing the movement.
Of course any steps that you
might take to have the matter

ficers of the railroad company
would help the cause along. do
not think it advisable to get a pc
tition from the settlers there, for
it is generally known they wish it
and would sign such a petition. 1t
might be well to interest the SEN
ators in the movement and use
any other influence with those in
charge of building the road. |
think it would do some good to get
Secretary Lane actively behind it,
and anything sent to him would
be effective.
| have been urging the matter

do SO.
