"When the Circus Comes to
Town"

As the seasons pass, our peaceful village
witnesses many remarkable occasions. but
in all its history nothing more marvellous
has been recorded than the event which
transpired last Wednesday evening. This
event, which was heralded as the Real
Circus, took place on the lawn OF the
Powers residence at the corner of Congress
and Union streets, and long before the
opening hour restless throngs were crowd
ing about the ticket booth, beneath the
Haunting red and white banner which
marked the entrance.
They were all there-the man Of the
world and the lady of fashion-the dapper
youth in white f1anpels and the small boy
in bare legs-the toothless grandparent
and the teething babylon everybody
loves circus and the advertising had
been thorough, eliminating at noon in
grand parade in which jaunty military
ladies and lovely bareback riders We'd with
strange freaks, while jazz band blared
ahead and ridiculous clowns frolicked a.
longside.
Promptly at seven-thirty the doors
opened. The crowd poured in, and hyp-
Noticed by the patter of the charming
"barkers," spent its pennies freely. There
were plenty of ways to do it. First, one
must be fortified by bag of homemade
candy and another of peanuts, and glass
of pink lemonade, as everyone knows, is
absolutely necessary toyour earnest circus
goer. Then there were the side shows,
and after viewing the Siamese Twins and
the trained bear, having ones fortune told
by beautiful gypsy maiden, spinning the
roulette wheel, and taking timorous peek
at the ferocious man-eating tiger-who
seemed to be having one of his calmer
moments when we saw him-one could
always go back and try once more to hit
the niger in the eye" The reward for
success in this effort was free ride in the
elevator" upon which we should advise
the inventor to get a patent before some
one steals the idea. Then there was the
Chinese Laundry, and Viola and Vivian
sweet antitheses-and when one was tired
of rowing there was the coolveranda where
pretty dancing-girls glided about in grace
full measures.
Our old friends Hanks and Marier miss
ed the stage from Lost Nation, and had
to walk most of the way in, but got thar,
by heck! with the old umbrell and palm
leaf fan, in time tew take in TIL sights
with tn rest of tn young folks! They sure
did have good time-and so did every
body else.

NEWsPAPEfsMzN HIT PIPE.
Cub Reporter in South Bend, lnd., Sets Pace, in a Unique War Savings
 Society.


 Hitting the pipe may be terrible vice in Chinatown. but not among the newspaper men of South Bend, Ind. There it comes pretty near being a virtue. For the newspaper men of that town have banded themselves together into the Pipe Smokers Thrift Club, each member of which Is pledged not to smoke cigars until he has pur- chased $20 worth of War Savings Stamps.
 The plan was started by cub re- porter, who really did not like cigars, but the thrift argument with which he advocated his scheme was unanswer- able and met with immediate and en- thusiastic response.
 Consequently. when South Bend member of the Fourth Estate takes his typewriter in lap to write piece for the paper" his first move is to fll up the old "dudeen." Some of the most effective effusions of one society editor have been inspired by the gur- gle of well-seasoned corn cot.
 Even political and banquet cigars are under the ban.

 THE DOLLAR NOW AND THEN.
Money Saved Now, If Properly Invsst- cd. VIII Have Double Buying
 Power In Days to Come.

The saying has como up from the Dark Ages that the way to make mon ey Is to buy cheap and sell dear.
 As the government of the United States Is pointing out to It's citizens, one way to do this is to buy standard securities when general prices are high and hold them for redemption when prices are lower. w. 8. 8. posters urge investors to use the pres- ent Tow power" dollar to buy govern ment securities and to receive in re- demption at later period "high power dollars.
 Here Is how 1t works.
 Before the war you earned, say, 8 day. Now you earn, say. $5 for doing the same work But you can't buy any more with your five dollars than you could with your three doliars-other prices have gone up in proportion to the price of your labor.
 If, some years after the war is over, prices and wages decrease somewhat, you may, for example, be earning and spending "A per day. Your War Sav- ings Stamps become due and the gov ernment gives you back your $83, or the then value of nearly 21 days la- bor, plus your $17 interest. In terms of days labor, the government is giv- ing back four days more than it re- ceived from You besides your SIT in- terest. This changing value of the dollar has made many persons richer and others poorer without their know ing exactly how 1t happened. Now is the chance to join the class of those who are going to be made richer, and one safe way to join is by buying the convenient government security-the War; Savings .StarnEs.
