HMoM4RCH OFHE JmGzE

We'll, youngsters, it's almost here.
 Sometime between midnight and dawn the big new circus bearing the strange yet familiar title of Ringing Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Com bined' is coming to town. The ad- vance guard of the show states that all is in readiness for the invasion, while the juveniles have, in many instances, already set their alarm clocks for an unearthly hour. At the railroad yards switching crews are busy clearing tracks for the many show trains that must be taken care of when they arrive from New Ha- ven.
 Railway officials state that the cir GUS is far and away the biggest that has ever been transported over their lines. The trains will be met by the show agents who are in the city to- day making final arrangements for the coming of the white tops" One of these is the "24-hour man. He will arouse the previous superintend- ents and their men. Then will begin the tremendous task of moving the contents of the trains to the circus grounds. It is said that those who rise in time to watch this operation will witness the unloading of the greatest amount or ard the largest number of wagons, horses and animals that have ever visited this city. In consolidating the two famous shows the Ringing Brothers have selected the finest and biggest features of both. The ele- plants number practically all the trained pacfryderms in the circus world. A gigantic "super-herd" of these is used on the arenic program. There are total of eight giraffes. Herds rather than mere families of animals are now introduced in the mena gerie.
 The most beautiful ring horses and the heaviest and finest of the draught stock of the two circuses have been merged. The, Percheons and Nor mans promise to be much in evidence in the street parade scheduled to de- part from the show grounds at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. This procession, like all else connected with the new circus is rof greater length and brilliancy than any pre- scented in former years. In addition to the scores of open cages, the bands, the callipes, and freuent tableau displays-without which a circus parade wouldn't be a parade at all are many distinct novelties entirely new to the sidewalk crowds. Big ness' is the keynote of the parade and it is said that the elephant divi- sion is alone one of the most re- markab1e spectacles ever presented.
 At the show grounds will be erect ed the biggest main tent ever built. The increased size has been made necessary because of the additional number of performers and the mass iveness of the acts exhibited. One of

the latter introduces five times as many elephants as have ever before been presented at one time. The menagerie tent is said to be almost as large as the 'tbig top'' of former sea sons. This will be open to the public at 1 and ' p. m. tomorrow. The main tent program will begin at and o'clock. A gorgeous pageant will precede the arenic displays. This en- lists hundreds of characters and horses. There are many handsome vehicles. The pageant introduces many of the best loved stories from fable and nursery rhyme so dear to the hearts of the children. Follow
 ing will come a host of arenic fea- lures. The program of the big com bined circus is made up of the best, finest and most sensational acts from the two famous shows supplemented by many foreign importations. Vir- tually every arenic number of the hundreds presented is a stellar at traction in itself. The riding acts in- clude that famous girl somersault rider from Australia, Miss May Wirth, and the entire Wirth family also the wonderful Hanneford family, includ- ing "Poodles'' Hanneford, the great est rider in the world. Other riding novelties number the MacPherson Clan of Highland Horsemen, featur-

kARGER LIKES REAL
 NOVELTY SOUVENIRS

When Maxwell Karger, Metro dfrec- tor-general, leans back in his chair in his private office and Hicks the ash from his cigarette. it falls on a unique ash tray. An aerial torpedo, of the type used by American bomb ing machines, stands upright on it's wings. On its nose is placed a ma chine gun drum with the brass cart ridges still in it. On that rests the glass ash try.
 studio Manager David Thompson obtained the torpedo and the machine gun drum from an aviator friend. Knowing Mir. Karger's love for flying, he had these souvenirs of America s part in the air warfare made into a stand as surprise for his chief when the latter returned from New York.
 It has been suggested that chenni- cally Mir. Karger must be at least 65 per cent INT, and now whenever his voice is heard in explosive accents most of the Metroites get ready to es- cape in case the ammunition expIodes too.

ing Signor Bagonghi, the wonderful Italian midget equestrian. The great Davenport troupe of equestrians is another of the riding features.
 Two famous girl performers, who are both veritable leading ladies" of the circus. are Mile Leitzel, great est of all aerial gymnasts. and Miss Bird Millman, the dainty little Queen of the Wire" Both are the greatest performers in the world in their particular line, and both will be seen on the same program here with the great circus combination.
 In all, almost three hours of arenic surprises will be presented in the great circus ''big top,'' which is the largest tent ever constructed. All the famous aerialists, riders. acrobats and clowns of the world will be seen on one program for the first time. and there will be an unprecedented num- Der of animal features, including five great elephant troupes comp mprising what is known as a quarter of a mil lion pound elephant act.' Five troupes of trained seals, wonderful dog and pony acts, and scores of the funniest clowns on earth will be on hand to amuse the children.
 There will be a downtown seat sale at the D. M. Read department store throughout show day.

TOOK MILDRED'S ADVICE

It was during the noon hour on the "set'' at the Los Angeles studio of the Rolin Film company that Mildred Davis, the new leading lady of the Harold Lloyd comedies, started talk ing about the colored church in her home town.
 They were continually complain ing of shortage in the Sunday morning collection," said she The deacon's wife, who washed for us on Mondays, told me all about the scan dal as she stood in the sun with a mouth full of clothes pins After I could understand what she was trying to say I gave her a tip and they nev- CT had any more shortage after that''
 'What did you sugseste" Harold Lloyd asked.
 'I told them to get a one-armed man for collector" replied Mildred.

POLIS.
 Now in its second year and making name for itself as vaudevil1e's fun niest offering. the big travesty, For F1ty's Sake" comes to Polfs the last half of the week. This big laugh making vehicle played the Palace the atre, New York. last week. for the 'steenth time and was hailed again by metropolitan critics. Eight able fun makers are in the company and the laughs are packed in regardless.
 Other vaudeville features for the last half include: Sissel & Blake, late of Jim Europe's Band, in a program of jazz Instrumental and vocal num- bers: Cable & Incz, in songs and dances: and Alma G Merriman Girls, In a delightful vaudeville novelty.
 The photoplay program is one of unusual length and merit. Dorothy Dalton, the talented dramatic star, will be seen in n gripping western drama called The Lady of Red Butte"
 Charley Chaplin will continue in his third mililon-dollar comedy. Sunny sfde.' the biz comedy feature that has set half of Bridgeport laughing. The other half will laugh during the next three days.

road which would be about seven
miles in length. The highway
would afford direct outlet on an
easy grade for the traffic of the
Southwick, Cavendish and a part Of
the Gold Hill district and would
place this part of the county within
one and one-half or two hours
travel time with the county seat,
when the Lewis and Clark road is
completed.
The road would cross the. Leland
and Clearwater highway districts,
and it is probable the next step will
be to have these districts cooperate
in securing the necessary survey as
step preliminary to adopting some
plan for construction. Estimates
of cost of the road have ranged
from $4,000 to $1,000. This section
of the Potlatch realizes the value of
good roads, not as theory or a
fancy, but for the substantial re-
suits that come from low-grade
highways in handling the traffic OF
the country.
The Kendrick gazette., 1919-01-17

The question Of good roads seems
to be arousing less interest in the
minds Of the Potlatch farmers than
1T is possible to believe. The good
roads movement is sweeping the
country from coast to coast and de-
cided progress is being made in
numberless communities which
have but very small part Of the
wealth that exists in the Potlatch.
1t would be very encouraging if the
farmers Of the different ridges trib-
utary to Kendrick would get to-
gether and at least talk good roads
with the intention of getting some
thing better than the country can
boast of at present.

Southwick, Idaho At a good
roads meeting recently held here,
with C. K. Chapman as chairman
and G. Harris as secretary, senti-
ment in favor of the construction of
a highway down the Bedrock creek
to connection with the Lewis and
Clark highway on the Clearwater
was unanimous. When the propos-
ition was put to vote 1t was found
rs favored the project with no op-
posing vote.
A further evidence of the senti-
ment back of the proposition was
shown in the fact that majority of
those present favored paying on a
basis of 81 an acre toward the con-
struction of the highway.

THE POINT OF VIEW

All you'll ever learn of diving
By watching camel,
Or Of flying
BY observing dog,
Will not be anything
To write home to the folks about.
Yet a good many persons go
through life
Wondering why they are not win
ners
In the long handicap,
Whose principles of living
Are taken from similar observa-
tions.
A stock salesman tells them they
may become rich
BY buying the gilt certificates he
has for sale
Without exciting any wonder on
their part
As to why the salesman is not
wealthy,
And why he should wish to part
with them.
They will spend forty years
Attempting to practice law
And never know that Blackstone
Isn't a brand of Kentucky whiskey
Unjust as it may seem, and is,
It's getting so nowadays,
That in order to be sure you are
going
To arrive anywhere.
You have to tart.-Ex.
