What the press agents say
about Pendleton's pres
ent and coming
attractions.
LABORING MAN COMES INTO
OWN ON CIRCUS NOWADAY.

This is song of the 1aboring man
with the white tops.
Press agents have sung the praises
of the pretty, pink clad queens of the
air and the graceful ladies. who stand
on one toe on the backs of the arched
necked ring horses. for years, but new
er, never, never has anyone thought
of saying word about the husky men
who put her on and take her off, .
as the circus people call the task of
erecting the tents on the show
igrounds and hauling them and the
enormous equipment back to the
trains at night.
But the laboring man has come ia
to his own with the circus. especially
with the Sells-Floto Circus.
Nowadays. on a Sunday afternoon
people will see a group of well-dress-
ed men walking off the grounds and
size it up for a party of executives. 1t
will probably be a party of working
men-canvasmen. hostlers, property
men, light men, drivers and the time
honored ''razorbacks,'' who are the
boys that load and unload the long
Sells-Floto Circus trains which will
come to Pendleton on July 5.
Perhaps the plainest dressed man
of the lot will be the general manag-
er, and. of course. the timer with
the suit of loud checks, the red neck
tie and the pop bottle" diamond stud
has vanished from the worFI of the
circus. The reason for the blOsSoming
out of the circus workingman is the
well known shortage of labor. the
problem that besets all big industries
Now. the canvasman gets a monthly
wage that would make the oldtimer
gasp with establishment He also
gets real berth in real Pullman
on nights, where he used to be glad
to flop in a parade wagon or under
it. And, at that, the labor problem
is always a seFious one with the cir
Gus. But the call of the tops is strons
and the circus will always move. for
a certain percentage of the working
men will come back each year and the
high wages attract others of rowing

LEWIS BAXTER DROWNED.
The Finding of the Body Solves a
Mystery Which Had Existed
Since Last October.

The body OF Lewis Baxter, who was
formerly of Wilmington, before gong To
New Castle to take a position as guard IN
the Bethlehem steel plant WAS found
Yesterday by two other guards of the plant
a short distance from where he was sup
posed To have been drowned on October
30. 1917.
The body was taken in charge by Funer-
al Director Charles III. Clewell of New
Castle and was not SO far decomposed as
not to be easily recognizable by his aged
mother, who went to New Castle to ldentl-
fy it.
Baxter was living, for a short time pre-
vious to his death, in a small cottage on the
shore of the Delaware river, and during
the heavy wind and rain storm, which oc-
CURED in the last days of October, he
went out to hunt for ducks. When he
failed to return for some time search WAS
instituted, which resulted in no traces OF
any kind being found, Baxter was TO be
married on the Saturday following his
death, and the body was also identified by
his fiancee, who accompanied his mother
from Wilmington
InterInent will be in the cemetery at
Marshalton. where the body of his father
was buried a short time ago.
The case recalls the death by drowning
of John Proudfit, who was devoted
canoeist, and who lost his life twelve
years ago but a short distance from the
spot where Baxter was drowned. The
body. after remaining in the water nearly
all winter, was in an excellent state OF
preservation when found in the spring
as was also Baxter's, due undoubtedly, to

Commercial treaties with enemy coun-
