AN OPEN LETTER.

Editor Appeal: I
What you said in relation to me in
your last issue was indeed compliment
tary, and a person must be void of
hot blood to be insensible to such kind
comment. The article clearly demon
strates the leadership of your paper,
for l have. personal knowledge that
there is already much activity to carry
out your suggestion.
With full appreciation for your in
1t1ative, and high regard for the in
tentions of the best friends anyone
ever possessed, at this time when
hearts are being wrung by the de-
parture of sons for cantonments:
when there are in prospect 1928 vacant
chairs at our family tables; when our
best boys are leaving for war with
the hope of making life sweeter and
home more heavenly; 1 am forced to
request my many friends to bend
their utmost energies toward giving
our boys the most demonstrative and
inspiring "good-bye' that was ever
uttered. If after all that, they still
wish to do something for me, | would
esteem it with higher regard for the
sincerity of their friendship. THE
BOYS FIRST AND EVERYBODY FOR
THE BOYS.
Sincerely yours,
Orrington c. Hall.

THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR,
September to 7, is to be "War Ex-
position" as far as every depart
ment is concerned.

It's greatest aid will lie in encour-
agement of food raising and food say
ing. Stupendous exhibits Of live stock,
farm products, children's contest work,
women's work, and machinery, will
feature this part Of the Fair. Nothing
OF the kind, as planned, has ever been
staged anywhere in America.
But the greatest thing of interest to
all the people of the Northwest will
be the gigantic exhibit of war relics,
great guns, and every kind of instru-
ment used in the waging. of war in
Europe. Combat planes, and all kinds
of paraphernalia used by the aviation
department, will also be exhibited.
The Federal Government, for the first
time in history, is coming to the State
Fair with a wonderful exhibit, demon
strating the work of practically all
the leading departments at Washing
ton in the prosecution of the war.
1t is believed that the Northwest is
so interested in the War for Democ-
racy, which the Fair is assisting to
such a degree, that the attendance
record of 100000 established last year
will be shattered by wide margin.

BARNES CIRCUS AMAZINGLY
GREAT. -. X,
Largest and Only Genuine Wild
Animal Circus in the World-12oo
Educated Animals-65 Sensa-
tional Acts and Features.

"The Show That's Different" is a.
term given by many prominent critics
to the AL. G. Barnes Four-Ring Wild
Animal Circus. Just why this show
is different can be understood when it
is known that the program presented
completely upsets the conventional in
circusdom, for the reason that the en-
tire entertainment is given by 'edu-
Gated wild and domestic animals.
Over 1900 of these animal actors are
comprised in the Barnes troupe. The
animals do everything that the hui
man circus performer has been doing.
Juggling, balancing, high jumping and
diving, acrobatics, posing, dances,
drills, ball playing, bareback riding,
tumbling, etc., are a part of the things
they do. Their proficiency is a re-
markable sight to witness. The
Barnes Circus also bears the distinc-
ton of being the original and largest
wild animal show in the world. The
cleanliness and moral tenor of it's
entertainment and business conduct
likewise add to the reasons Of why
the show is different"
Unusual indeed are the big wild
animal acts. Tom,' Jerry and Brutus,
horse riding African lions, are
a very remarkable example of
wild animal training. Sampson,
the aviation lion, rides to
the top of the tent surrounded by
shooting sky rockets. A, large group
of seals and sea lions do marvellous
feats Of juggling and bareback riding.
Mile. Florine, a spritely young woman,
presents group of ferocious leopards,
jaguars and pumas. Miss Mabel Stark
appears with troupe of man-eating
Royal Bengal and Siberian Tigers. Big
Bill, the wrestling grizzly, is another
sensation; also the large group of per
forming bears.
The thirty jungle-bred, full-grown
African lions shown in one act by
Venus Fashion comprises the greatest
and most thrilling wild animal spec
tacle ever known. Miss Fashion en-.
tiers the arena alone with these great
beasts, and makes each one perform
The lions are first grouped in pyra
mids, then into piles on the floor, the
daring trainer lying on the topmost
one. Her head is placed on the in
side of snarling beasts mouth; an
other eats raw meat held in the lips
OF the trainer. Her daring is thrilling
| to an extreme.
The Barnes challenge horses and
ponies-550 of them-beautiful, all
educated to perform, present in their
work one Of the very great sights OF
modern time entertainment Ele
plants, camels, zebras, hyenas, dogs
goats, monkeys, etc., are prominently
| shown.
| There are many laughing spots
throughout the program, provided by
fifty comedy mules, monkeys, bears
ponies, dogs and a large herd of ele
plants.
The new, glittering, mile-long, four
band street parade is presented to the
public at 10:30. Two performances
| will be given here.

From the seeds of hate ye've sown?

What will We reap from Africa's
Ten millions of souls, free-bound?
Can We expect a loyal man
Where We planted a tainted boy?
Can We make him love with your scorn
and jeers;
Can ye make him serve spite of shame
and tears?
God help you to see
What the harvest will be,
Ere the trumpets of justice sound.
