WILD WEST SHOW
FOR BOYS IN FRANCE

William r. Larkin. OF the knights
OF Columbus. admits that he was a bit
startled when. in his Office, T. T. Cor
coran, of Fort Morgan, Colo, who is
going overseas as a knights of Co
lumbus secretary, asked permission to
finance the sending to France Of sixty
cowboys. forty Indians, seven cow
girls" nine Indian women, a few pa
posses and more than 100 horses, none
Of which will submit to saddle if it
can be avoided.
This aggregation OF men. women,
and horses is a part of a big outdoor
show each year in the far Western
and Southwestern States, and Mr.. Cor
coran's idea is to take it across seas
to entertain Pershing's ENpedltionary
Force while il is awaiting demobiliza-
ton and keeping an eye on the Ger
mans. NJ Corcoran thinks the show
ought to be kept over there at least
three months.
Need About $25O,OOO.

to entertain our soldiers and sailors

will require a lot of money. Where do
you expect to get it?'

entertain Pershing's men.

lumbus a penny and not a penny will
be accepted from our soldiers abroad
We will give ninety performances
abroad if necessary, and pay our own

West until the day we return to the

'If the Knights Of Columbus want
us to give a series Of performances IN
or near the big cities of France and
charge admission, the entire gross
proceeds to go to any charity the
KNIGHTS may select we will be glad

offer. We people OF Colorado, Wy

show our appreciation Of the Amer

of doing it."
GratIfied BY order.
Mr.. Larkin appeared impressed and
gratified over Mr.. Corcoran's offer
and indicated that the matter would
