While reading the Chicago Daily
Drovers Journal Tracy E.. Randall.
Heatherhurst farm, Baraboo, came
across the following item concerning
the RingIings the item being dated at
Cascade, Iowa, December 13:
So many interesting and romantic
stories of the beginning of the Ring
ling Bros. have appeared in connection
with stories of the recent death Of
Al. Ringing that the facts are worth
relating ito keep history straight"
Senator S. w Baldwin of Dubuque
county gave them their real start. He
was mayor of Cascade and editor of
the Pioneer there at that time. He
also was the father Of Circus" Bald

Ringing Bros. Broke"
The Ringing brothers five of whom
were acrobats and AL. a juggler, were
with yankee" Robinson the year the
latter died at Jefferson, Iowa. The
show broke UP and the Ringing boys
took the remnants and started east
ward through Iowa. The business
was poor. Sheriffs of the counties
through which they passed levied on
the property piecemeal. They wiped
out the stock, and when the show ar
rived in Cascade there was little left
of it. Hired horses brought the out
fit from Monticello, and the boys were
broke when they struck the town. Al
Ringing, who was business manager
at the time came to the Office Of
Mayor T. w. Baldwin, who was also
publisher of the Pioneer, and stated
that he could not pay the license de-
manded from travelling shows. and the
prospects Of paying for the advertising
that appeared in the Pioneer was al
so doubtful unless Cascade turned out
strong and supported the show.

HAVE YOU ScROFULA?
NV Said to Be as Often Acquired
as inherited.

1t is generally and chiefly indicated
by eruptions and sores, but in many
eases it enlarges the glands of the
neck, affects the internal organs, es-
pecially the lungs, and if neglected
may develop into consumption.
1t causes many troubles, and is
aggravated by impure air, unwhole-
seme food, bad water, too much heat
or cold, and want of proper exercise.

and he will tell you that American railroads
the best in the world.
He saw the foreign roads - in England and
France the best in Europe = and in other Con-
tinental countries - and he knows.
The part railroads have played in the develop

American railroads have achieved high stand
ards of public service by far-sighted and courage
Gus investment of capital, and by the constant
striving Of managers and men for rewards for work
well done.
We have the best railroads in the world we
must continue to have the best
But they must grow.
To the $50, 100000 900 now invested In our
railroads, there will have to be added in the next
few years, to keep pace with the nations business,
billions more for additional tracks, stations and
terminals, cars and engines, electric power houses
and trains, automatic signals, safety devices, the
elimination of grade crossings - and for recon
struction and engineering economies that will re-
duce the cost of transportation.
To attract to the railroads in the future the in
vestment funds of many thrifty citizens, the direct
ing genius of the most capable builders and man
ayers, and the skill and loyalty of the best work
men - In competition with other industries bid
ding for capital, managers and men - the railroad
industry must hold out fair rewards to capital to

American railroads will continue to set world

If they continue to be built and operated on the
American principle of rewards for work well done.

THE GRAIN MARKETS

CHICAGO, May 26.-Owing largely to big decrease of the visible supply total, strength supplanted weakness today in the corn market. May touched the highest level yet this season. The close was nervous at 1 to 22sc net ad- vance with July $1.65B to s1.65H and September $1577s to $158 Oats gained 94 to 1Bc. In provisions the outcome varied from 10c decline to a rise of 67c.
 Prospects that shorts in corn would suffer a squeeze attracted much mo- tice toward the last of the day in con- nection with the shrinkage of the vis- ible supply, a falling off of 1,O11 900 bushels as compared with a week ago. Misgtvings on the part of the shorts were emphasized by the fact that the

STOCKS AND BONDS

NEW YORK, May 26.-Today's stock market session was marked by extraordinary activity, scope and strength. Sales amounted to 2.O25,OOO shares, making the first two million share day since February l, 1917.
 General news and advices over the weekend recess confirmed recent re- ports of general improvement in many lines of trade and industry, together with other extremely favorable augu- ries.
 Foremost among these were the i'm mence of the signing of the peace treaty; the heavy oversubscriptions to the Victory loan, continuance of excel lent crop prospects and further relax ation of money market conditions Rails and shippings were the only i'm portant elements lacking in the days buoyant operations, those groups, ex- cept for several of the investment and reorganized issues falling far behind the general list in activity and strength.
 Automobile shares and affiliated stocks were the chief features throughout, their extreme gains of 8 to 10 points being accompanied by ru- mors of impending mergers or consol- idations.
 Equipments, steels and coppers re- flected resumption of last weeks de- mand.
 United States Steel made an extreme gain of almost points to the years high of 109A, but eased a point on ex- tensive realizing for profits toward the end, other leaders yielding l to 2 points.
 Bonds, including the Liberty divi- sion, were firm, but trading was at all times eclipsed with the activity of stocks. Total sales, par value, s11,- 675,OOO. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

COMMENCEMENT DAY.

It is a pity when a youths educa-
ton stops with the arrival OF com
mencement days Unfortunately edu-
cation to the minds of many means d
prescribed and definite course OF
study which ends early in HE. YET
every one knows men and women VINO
never went to college, or even through
the high school, but whose education
has been a continuing process lasting
through lifetime.
Some of these people are so broau
in their culture as to make the aver
age college graduate seem mere
amateur. Real education comes 10
one through all the agencies and IN
fluences that bring experience ana
develop the powers of the individual
This is not to decry the opportunl-
ties which the schools afford. Never
before have these opportunities peeh
so rich and manifold, The increasing
complexity of modern life places
heavy demands upon the schools
Democratic education suffers no
scholar with bookish knowledge to set
himself anart from the hand-worker
In fact, there seems to be danger OF
going to the other extreme and plac-
ing too much emphasis on manual ana
industrial education.
There is need of trade training that
will fit the worker with skill for shop
and home. But there is also need
for training that will give the worker
an insight into the social and scien-
tific meaning of the work he does, and
an understanding of the social and
political problems of democracy.
Hand and heart must be brought
together in education; ideals and
practice must be united. Vocational
training aims to fit the individual for
a specific life work; culture prepares
him to function as useful unit in
human society. Both influences are
needed in the education of every in
dividual.
Because It is being recognized now
that men and women must prepare
themselves to make the best of their
lives as we'll as to make liyings for
themselves, more and more students
are seeking those schools that carry
cultural training along with the teach
ing of bread and butter vocations.
For several vars It has been quite
noticeable that the old -fashioned col
lege of liberal arts is losing out. and
the technical school--such as the col
lege of agriculture and mechanic arts
in this state--is taking its place. not
only In attendance but in public esti-
nation.

soil.
While we give all possible credit to
France, let it be- understood that she
was fighting merely in self-defense.
Self-defense was why the United
States fought. That was back of
Great Britain's declaration of war
This writer has talked to a great
many soldiers during the past few
months. They were overseas men
who had volunteered or been drafted
and they represented every section of
The United States. There was not one
of them who favored treaty by which
American soldiers might be sent back
to Europe for the defense of any Eu-
ropean country. They are quite will
ing to die for this country. if there be
need; but they are not willing to die
for some other country. They are
Americans; they are not information

AIosING GAME THIS YEAR.

The Silver City Enterprise, COM
menting upon the suspension of mill
ing by the big low-grade Burro Noun
tain Copper company at Tyrone says
that the ore being low grade, convert
ing it into understandable copper had
been Improbable since the war de-
mand ceased. But it is believed the
company will keep most of the hun
dreds of miners busy getting the
ground ready for production when
copper prices rise. That may not be
the case this year.
The other big Grant county mine,
at Santa Rita, has reduced forces
about forty per cent but is using most
of the miners for development work
and not for production.
These companies had pay rolls last
year aggregating $4,000 per day.
Curtailng operations hits the commu-
mites hard. The operators themselves
are heavy losers. with so much cap
ital invested. but are optimistic about
the final coming back of copper.
The shutdown of the mill at Tyrone
calls attention to one feature of in
terest to the state and the taxpayers.
The metal and coal mining companies
have to pay tax upon metal that is
not being produced They entered
voluntarily into an agreement with
the state legislature, to pay produc-
ton tax this year and next year also,
equal to the average payment of q
similar tax of the three maximum
years just passed. While the mining
men knew that production and profit
would be reduced below the above
average basis, they probably figured
that demand and prices would rise
sooner and higher than now appears
likely.
Anyway, the state is getting far the
better of the liberal arrangement
from both coal and copper. For pro-
