The Largest and Smallest Equincs With
Great New Circus.

In recent years there has been much
talk of the motorized circus. In one
or two instances very small shows have
made limited tours on autotrucks. But
the older heads in the circus world have
never taken kindly to the idea. They
argue that il is the 'primtiveness" Of
method still maintained in transporting
the show equipment from the railroad
yards to the lot" in erecting the great
stretches or Canvas or taking them down
again. that renders the circus so fas
cinating In other words-that the great
teams of splendid horses are as much a
part of the show as the clowns or the
elephants.
one of the functions Of the circus
has always been to use the horse and
present him to view, either trained to
the height Of equine intelligence or
broken to the pole of the red wagons.
Years ago Ringing Brothers started out
with youthful attempt at a circus and
a concert They had just one solitary
horse. As time went on they acquired

SILESIA SITUATION
TO Be INVESTIGATED
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Friday, Aug. 22.-An inter
allied mission will leave this city for
upper Silesia within twenty-four hours
and the Polish commission which has
been comforting with German govern
ment officials will return to Warsaw
and make report.
This new development was the out
come of precipitate action by the
Poles, who on Wednesday interrupted
negotiations with Germany claiming
the upper Silesian situation was such
that further deliberations were i'm
possible. 1t was evident that this
action came as surprise to entente
representatives here. General DePunt
commander of the inter-allied commits
sion expressed the view that the Ger
man government had sole authority
in present upper Silesia.
1t Is not expected that negotiations
with the Poles will be resumed until
after the interallied commission had
reported and its findings are accepted
as final until questions involved In
the occupation Of upper Sflesia as well
as other disputes are settled by pie
btscite. In the meantime the German
government has agreed to moderate
military measures now being enforced
in the region and to discontinue exc
cutions.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
To FIGHT FURTHER
wayne TAX RAISES

Members Of the Richmond Commerc-
ial club will appear before the state
board of tax commissioners next Tues
day, at which time the tax assess
ments of Wayne county will be taken
up by the state board, in an effort to
prevent any further increase in the
assessment of property values in
Wayne county.
According to information received
from the state house by several coun-
ty officials and members of the Com
mercial club a further flat increase,
which may run as high as 25 percent
is being considered by the state board
for Wayne county.
This increase if made, would mean
great injustice to the taxpayers of
the county according to county offic-
ials, who assert that the county is
now practically assessed at it's actual
cash value, and any further increase
would mean that the taxpayers would
pay taxes on more property value than
they actually possessed.
At recent meeting with the state
board, County Auditor Howard Brooks
pointed out to the board that the real
esate assessments in Wayne county
were practically the actual cash value
Of the land, and in some instances the
assessments were higher than the ac-
tual sale price of the land, as shown
on real estate transfers.
Wayne's Rates High
The board, at this meeting, told the
county auditor that Wayne county's
assessment rate, per acre was greater
than in any Of the adjoining counties.
although the local officials were told
that last year, the actual value of
land in Randolph county was $40 an
acre more than in Wayne.
This year farm land in Wayne
county is assessed at $3.50 an acre,
while Randolph county's assessment
is 1929 an acre. Fayette, Henry, Han
cock and Union counties all had as
sessments which were much lower
than Wayne.
1.-THE state board also kicked on the
personal property valuations in Wayne
county, as compared with Lake and
st. Joseph counties in the northern
part of the state," Brooks said Satur-
day.
'The corporations in Wayne county,
however. amount to only $4,000
where the big corporations such as
udebaker, Oliver Plow Works, and
the big steel mills up there boost their
personal and corporation valuations
much higher"
Wayne county's personal assess.
ments were given big increase last
year. and the county was one of two
in the state. according to Brooks, that
boosted their personal property as
seSsments to any extent.

URGE BORDER SERVICE.

MEXICO CITY, August 23-An i'm
portant step toward the adoption of
a measure tending to prevent clashes
between Mexico and the United States
was taken Thursday night when Luis
Cabrera, secretary Of the treasury, and
generally regarded as the mouthpiece
of the present administration, stated
in a press interview that the MeXi-
can and American governments should
sign an agreement for reciprocal bor-
der guard service.
Ygacio Bonillas, Mexican ambassa-
dor at Washington, according to Senior
Cabrera, would be "eminently fitted"
for conducting negotiations with this
purpose in view since he was men,
Der of the Mexican commission which
met United States representatives at
Atlantic City in 1916, to discuss this
plan during the Pershing expedition
into norther Mexico. Senior Cabrera,
himself, was chairman Of the Mexican
commission.
Want Quick SaIution.
According to the secretary the diff
culties which prevented the adoption
of such an agreement at Atlantic City
were due to the fact that the American
delegation wanted the agreement
signed Immediately while the Mexi-
can commission held out for with
drawal of the Pershing expedition be-
fore reaching an agreement. Senor
Cabrera pointed out that at present
such difficulty would not be met
with, since the early withdrawal of
the Eighth cavalry now pursuing ban
dts in the state of Chihuahua was ex-
pected.
Comment in official quarters tended
to point out that with reciprocal bor-
der service to eliminate further
clashes with the present government,
bending every energy to protect for
eign property and with congress about
to take up the oil question, the case
of Mexico should be solved quickly
