John RObfnsOE'S Shows Awaken Old
Memories.

Concerning the big John RObinson's
circus, which comes to Westminster,
Saturday, August 2, the New Orleans
Times-Ficayune the oldest and best
known newspaper in the South, pays
the following tribute: John Robin
sons tented aggregation of celebrities,
gathered from ali quarters of the
earth, is a real circus The first
few words are used advisedly, but
there is such an old time flavor to the
John Robinson shows that it would
hardly be fitting to speak of them
unless one should fall into the old
time language OF the heralds that
used to set every country boy on his
good behavior until the arrival of the
great day and make him run away
from home if his parents prevented
him from going early and staying
late.
The older persons Who visited the
show would know that they were
looking at John RObinson's if there
were not a name on wagon nor a
streamer to proclaim the fact. 1t is
all circus and it is an exceptionally
good circus The John Robinson cir
Gus has no apologies to make to any
one, but every man connected with
the organization has reason to be
proud Of his connection and Of his
part i'm creating such general salts
faction with the performances"
The John Robinson circus this
year, the 95th of it's existence, is
larger and better than ever. Four
railroad trains are used to transport
the show, the employees number into
THE hundreds, there are 500 beautiful
sleek coated horses and the perfor-
mances are given i'm huge tent that
! comfortably seats ten thousand peo-
Pile The tent is sun and rain proof
and is equipped with a modern VEN
tilating and sanitary system.

before the battle Of Dead Mans Hill
"Of these I have knowledge of 500
who died." he said.
! He related his experiences in the
Argonne forest when shells destruc-
ton was added to by falling trees
and aerial bombs. The Goth and 3Sth
regiments, the latter cited as one Vi
the best in the American army, went
in side by side, he said, and fought
through for more than a month, then
came out for two days and were
sent back.
I'VE were taken out and sent to
| rest -billets at 8 o'clock and at $3.50
were ordered out and went back, he
said. II was thinking OF having SER
vices, but certainly one couldn't ex-
pect services then. To plod those
roads, thick in mud and carrying a
60-pound pack and 11-pound rifle
was enough service for any man."
In conclusion Father Flanagan
made a plea that every soldier re-
turning be given chance to make
good.
Don't give all your enthusiasm
and reception to those boys coming
nome now. Inc ones VINO fought the
hardest, the LIST, End, 3rd, 4th and
5th divisions, are still in Germany
keeping watch in the Rhine They
may go from there to Turkey and
be sent around the world for a year
but when they do come back give
them a reception for the regular SOL
der deserves all the credit you can
give him. Whenever an outfit fell
back regular outfit was sent in to
hold the line. When there was a
position too hard to take, the regu-
lars were sent in and they were
never sent after anything they
couldn't get. All the boys did their
bit, but when you are at your own
fireside tonight think Of the boys
walking the country roads of Ger

by Bernardo G. Barros, originally
published in a magazine called
"Social," printed in Habana, Cuba. The
writer says:
"In painters and delineators authors and
poets ever have found fit complement to
their creations. They are to the writer as
the actor to the playwright or dramatist
They interpret in fine, incorporate, the per-
sonalities created by the imagination or
adapted from real experience. Hence you
may have seen two artists, the writer and
the painter, frequently consulting together,
and the results of their conferences 20
hand in hand
"In the early days of primitive printing

roguish and even satirical vigncttes were
conceived, to which one must resort to
study the origin of caricaturc. Later, as
Gutenbcrg's invention perfected until
it reached the astonishing printing presses
of our day, the art of the illustrator de-
mands recognition and reaffirms it's suprem-
acy. A legion of celebrated artists review
in their silent studios the pages of the
worlds celebrated books and study their
characters as they attempt to animate them
for others with pen and brush. 1t would
be impossible to condense into brief roll
the list Of the many artists who have at
tanned success to-day in Europe in this
field. Daily there appears new signature
that rivals those whose fame already is as
sured by criticism and public admiration.

in the sad faced knight one longing for the
infinite, whose creator places him in ridic-
