Chicago. Sept. 3.-Will the Sunday

Petitions in circulation among the
congregations of the Methodist church

There is likelihood" he said. of
the chur-l removing the ban, but the
Sunday school room and pastors study
will never become a place for the
young people to dance and play cards.
They will have to DO it outside the
church. The whole matter will be
threshed out from every angle and a

BIG CIRCUS is here
Combined Ringlings and Bar
mum 6 Bailey in Topeka.
Late Arrival of Trains DiSap-
pointed Thousands.

Today is circus day and young and
old are filled with that particular
brand of enthusiasm that only the
clowns and the elephants can arouse.
Probably excitement runs higher than
ever before for the Colossal giant of

but a combination of Americas two
most famous circuses bearing the
strange yet familiar title of Ringing

Not since dawn has there been any
doubling the big glorious fact that the
worlds greatest amusement institu-
ton" is actually here. All the small
boys and not a few of the grown up
ones were out of bed in the wee hours
yards to greet the many show trains.
Many At Grounds Early.
This annual duty performed they fol-
lowed the winding ravalcades to the
circus grounds. there to watch the
mammoth tents, the medfu m sized
tents and all the little tents erected.
They marVeled at the many wonders.
not the least of which included a half
dozen or more giraffes and what
seemed to be all the elephants that
Africa and Asia has been able to raise
in the past several years.
On account OF the late arrival OF
trains the Kansas avenue parade was
called off at the last minute and thou
saEds who mad waited for hours had
to go home disappointed. The
youngsters especially were disappoint-

THE JOKE IS ON Us,

The combined Barnum & Bailey and
Ringing circus parade was scheduled
to go down Kansas avenue at 10
o'clock this morning. OF course. ev-
cry one knows a parade is delayed but
The State Journal. under the honest
impression that the parade would be
in order by the time the noon edition
went to press, printed a story of the
dazzling. gorgeous spectacle-just as If
it had happened.
Unlucl1ily the parade was called off
at noon due to late trains on the Rock
Island. 1t would have been impossi-
BILE to hold the afternoon and evening
performances on time if the parade
had been held.
Nevertheless, hundreds on the
streets read in the noon edition of The
State Journal that the parade in all
it's enthusiasm had entertained moth
er, father and the kids.
The State Journal wishes to confess
its error. All circus parades are the
same and a parade story can be writ
ten during the Christmas holidays for
September release just as well as il
could be written an hour after it had
passed So The State Journal just
went ahead and staged a parade.

Former Soldier Kills Sweet

Believed His Wounds Caused
Girl To Cease Loving Him.

Chicago. Sept. 3.-Friends today be-
lieved jeremiah Sedevy's realization
that his war wounds had caused his
sweetheart's love for him to cease,
prompted him last night to shoot her
thru the heart and then fire a bullet
into his own brain.
The girl was Mary Barnett, %. She
had worn Jerry's ring since before he
went to war. Over there he was
gassed, a shell shattered his leg and
left him a bit of war wasteage.
Last night neighbors heard Mary
tell him she could not marry him noNA
She did not love like she used t.,
she said Instantly there was a re-
volver shot and another. Friends
found them in death embrace.

Paris, Sept. "A tremendous drop

OF European demands. which have not
developed. The American government
must intervene by granting credits to
the nations needing food. as we'll as
by fixing maximum and minimum
prices in the United States.

IAN extremely dangerous situation
will result in case the United States
government does not assist producers
in finding outlets for their goods
During the war American products of
all kinds increased threefold. Unless
there are permanent markets for these
products, a terrible reaction is In
evitable, counteracting all the produc-

American farmers are entitled to
the greatest consideration. After gov
eminent stimulation their production
must be guaranteed markets"
Speaking of the general European
situation, Hoover said:
Belgium is in the best condition in

all the European nations is nearing a
normal state but the countries which
have emerged from the war will need
American financial assistance for an
other eighteen months.

"Bolshevism Is permanently headed
off in western Europe. 1 believe one
of the most effective weapons used
against the menace was the relief of

Committees composed of the so-calIed
better classes took care of the children
of the poor, thereby breaking up class
antagonisms."
Hoover maintained he had no
knowledge of the war departments

chase of large quantities from Italy.
He said he would have bought from
the war department if he had known
the circumstances.

ensilage is becoming general. except
in the extreme western counties. As
n rule not more than 10 per cent has
been cut, except in the more drouth
stricken counties in the middle third,
where as high as so per cent has been
cut in localities.
Grain sorghums are in fair to good
condition generally and from three
fourths 70 all of them are in head.
