Dear Mother:-We arrived here
Sunday night and had fine trip. /
was with the first section train carry
ing the officers, which | have been
attached We had our band along
and don't you forget it, we had a
time.
When we left Battle Creek, Mich,
we went to Detroit and then our
route was along Lake Erie, through
part of Canada. Our first stop
after leaving, to timber up, was at
St. Thomas, Onta. Here we met
with a royal welcome, thousands
crowded along the side walks to see
us and everybody had a Canadian
and American flag waving; post cards
OF scenes around St. Thomas, already
stamped were handed out to all of us.
At Buffalo, Elmyria and Binghamton,
n. Y, we were given hearty recep-
tons, but the biggest one we struck
was at Scranton, Pa. Everybody
was out cheering, autos screeching,
bell ringing, fire department turned
in all the alarms and, believe me, we
did some fancy drills for the big well
come they gave us. From Scranton
we cut across New Jersey to New
York. arriving at Hoboken we were
transferred to a Ferry boat and was
taken around New York harbor to
Long Island. | saw the statue of
Liberty, vessels of all kinds in the
harbor, the Brooklyn and Eads
bridge, and the sights that were I'M
furled to me, made me glad to think
that | was soon to see greater sights
than | ever thought would be my lot
to see. Down near us is our AVIATION
field and we boys need rubber necks
as sometime 20 or more can be seen
up in the air doing all kinds of stunts.
AS this is only port for embarking,
we have but little to do, and me and
my chum are going to hunt up Casper
and as my chum has been in New
York and knows where all the big
sights are, we are going up to take
them in.
Now don't worry about us; the risk
is no more than in ordinary life and.
the sights we will see will more than
overbalance the risk we take. Besides
what will the slackers say when the
victorious Sammies come marching
home, and ask-"what did you do
to help win the war;" Nix for me,
we are on to Berlin or bust

Splendid refreshing showers fell in
this section last Monday and did
world OF good to the growing crops
and human beings.
Last week was busy week for far
mers They had all they could do

and threshing wheat The yield OF
wheat is not up to expectations but
it is good crop, splendid grain and
weighing out well.
The tobacco crop isshowing up fine
a little uneven but growing by leaps
and bounds. Farmers generally, are
well pleased with its condition. Corn
is in the tassel and the pumpkin is in
bloom and they are good to look up
on.

On last Monday President Wilson
vetoed the agricultural appropr;-
alton bill because of the amendment
fixing the minimum pr..e OF wheat at
81. 10 bushcl The action OF the
President was based on the disap-
prevail OF any attempt by congress to
take from the food administration
the right to Fl prices.
Judge Layman has certainly been
good to the farmers serving on the
Jury this term OF court He has
and planned in every way
possible not to keep them away from
their work when it was necessary for
them to be at home. The special
session will close this week.
Don't be a Stacker on your sub
scriptions Notice your label and see
how you stand. We can't help win
this war without money any more
than Uncle Sam. As A. V. Whit
worth, of Stephensport, said in re-
newing his subscription, this dollar

it is to me in my pocket when owe

Idle money is no good to any body.

SIDE LIGHTS ON the
CIRCUS BUSINESS
w1n7r-Hul UIu-7nz-H-

The following letter of early days
in the show bushes should prove in
teresting reading las it treats Of two
Wisconsin men whose homes were in
Delavan, the late George CASTILLO and
w. G.. Coup, both of whom were con-
sidered among the best show men Of
their time: 'W. G. Coup was manager
and part owner of the Barnum show
from1871 to 1875 inclusive. Probably
there would never have been show
had it not been for M. Coup. Bar
mum made a fortune in the museum
business in New York and retired in
1870 and was living in retirement at
his home in Bridgeport. Conn Mr..
Coup went from Delavan to Bridgeport
and persuaded Mr. Barnum to put out
a circus with himself and George Cas-
tello He had great difficulty in do
ing this as Mr.. Barnum'S people OBJ
jected to it on account of his advanc-
ed years However, they put out
wagon show in the spring of 1871.
The business was so great that they
were buying middle pieces all sum-
mer In 1872 and 1873 they gave three
exhibitions every day: at 10 a. M, 2
and p. M, advertising and engag-
ing the people for three performan-
cos In 1874 they put on two shows,
which proved their Waterloo. Their
competitors got out a bill stating that
one half of the Barnum show was in
a certain place, naming the place, and
the other half in another locality,
and wound up with the query which
half do you intend to visit?"
"It was due to Mr.. Coup's efforts
that the first New York hippodrome
was built on the site of the present
one. He also built the New York
Aquarium at Thirty-fifth and Broad
way. Mr.. Coup was one of the great
est showmen that ever lived. He was
an honorable gentleman of extraOrdi-
nary address. Generous to a fault,
he died without dollar,
