CHRISTY BROS. SHOWS
HERE AUGUST

On Thursday, August 5, Christy
Bros. greater united wild animal ex-
hibition will give two performances,
at and s p. m, in Pullman. Over
"a score of years Christy Bros.
Shows have stood for all that has
been biggest, best and supremacy
novel in the world of amusements.
Beginning in a modest way, they
have slowly but surely built up an
institution of vast proportions so
familiar to the American public, in
addition to introducing many nova
tons in the amusement world in the
form of splendid new methods of
presenting arenic performances and
magnificent pageantry. The Christy
Bros. were the pioneers in a policy
which insisted upon the public being
treated with the utmost considera-
ton. This years program offers
many new features and displays, pre-
senting scores of Americas most
famous artist, colossal exposition
of wild animal wonders from every
cline; clowns, gay, giddy and glad
some throng of earth's most ludi-
crous comedians, creating an endless
chain of laughter with their newest
stunts and sketches. Most unique
congress of wild and domestic beasts
schooled in an endless variety of
tricks and new attachments. Made
part of the program of wonders
are the funny four-legged testers of
Pony Land, Bear Land, Pig Land,
Donkey Land, and Monkey Land.
These clowns of animal land present
a program that tickles young and old
with an unmistakable comedy. These
are but few of the features named
at random which follow the marvel
Gus Introductory feature. Christy
Bros presentation, The Prince of
the Jungle a pageant of colorful
magnificence, a wealth of color,
pomp and glorious music, with scores
of characters, lavishly costumed,
makes this truly wonderful dis
play. Twice daily, Immediately pre-
ceding the opening of the doors, a
monster free act will be given when
Upside Down Zenaldo will make his
thrilling slide on a slender thread
of steel from a height of SO feet,
balancing on his head, atop a roller
skate. Zenaldo presents the most
thrilling attraction ever offered to
the public as free attraction.

AGRICULTURAL CENSUS

The Bureau of the Census is issu-
ing county summaries showing some
of the most important results of the
census of agriculture, such as the
number of farms, farm acreage, farm
values, live stock, and principal
crops. Special summaries are also
issued giving preliminary figures for
irrigation and drainage enterprises.
These summaries are issued for each
county as soon as the tabulation is
complete and are available for dis
tribution to the press and to indi-
viduals and placed on file until such
time as that county may be complet-
ed. Requests for more than one
county will be received from periodi-
Gals, educational institutions, Off
GERS of organizations, and others in a
position to make profitable use of
the information.
Somewhat more comprehensive
summaries will be issued for the
states, as fast as they are completed,
and these summaries will be closely
followed by series of state bulle-
tins giving detailed information for
each state, by counties.
The number of copies of each sum-
mary available for distribution is
necessarily limited, but it is expected
that the supply will be ample tC
meet any reasonable demand. Re-
quests for copies should be addressed
to the Director, Bureau of the Cen
sus, Division of Agriculture, Wash
ington, d. C.

THAT COMMUNITY BUILDING

The chamber of commerce com
mittee named to represent that body
in the campaign for an adequate
community center for Pullman is do
ing it's work well and has outlined q,
plan that seems eminently feasible.
No one questions the need for such
an institution, and with public senti-
ment to back the efforts of the cham
Der of comemrce, the American Lee
gion, the K. of p. lodge and other
organizations the plan is bound to
succeed. AS stated in the report of
the committee, published elsewhere
in this paper, the farmers of this
community are doing more for Pull
man than Pullman is doing for them.
The establishment and maintenance
of a properly appointed and managed
community building, where the farm
ers and their families would feel
welcome to gather where they could
tIlIOg tllC Eg ullI anu OtHtl Id
cilities made available for them,
would go a long way toward estab-
fishing a closer relationship between
the rural and city residents. The
farmers and their families would be
made to feel that their interests are
identical with the interests of the
townspeople; the latter, in turn,
would come to realize that the farm
ers are their best friends and are
interested in the welfare and devel-
opment of the entire community
The two classes would be brought
into close touch with each other;
great good to both classes and to the
community would be the inevitable
outcome.
If every citizen will get behind the
chamber of commerce committee
and do his part Pullman will soon
have community center that will
rank with the best in the land.

A VALUABLE CITIZEN GONE

In the death of Cleo E. Miller
Pullman has lost one of its most es-
| teemed citizens, young man of the
highest type, who was honored and
respected by all who knew him. His
value to the community as a citizen,
as an example to other young men,
can not be oVerestimated, and his
tragic death will be mourned for
years to come. The young man died
as he had lived, serving his fellows.
When the call came for men to save
humanity from despotism he immedi-
ately offered his all, ungrudgingly
and unflinchingly. When he saw
that he could be of greater service
to his country in the naval aero unit
than in the naval band, he at once
transferred, entering the hazardous
service without thought of his own
wellbeing. With the experience
gained in the service he saw an op-
portunity to still further serve hui
mainly through assistance in the de-
velopment of science and gave his
life in an effort to do his full part
toward the scientific advancement of
his people.
Cleo Miller was true son. a true
soldier and true citizen. He held
the respect and esteem of all, the
enmity of none. His life was we'll
lived and heroically ended All
Pullman extends deepest sympathy
to the heart torn mother, brother
and sister, and mourns, with them,
the death of one of Gods own men.

POLAND MAY ASK
j. S. To MEDIATE
America Likely to Settle Quarrel
With Lithuania.
ARE PRACTICALLY AT WAR
Long Dispatch Received at Washing
ton From Warsaw in Which Po-
lands Side of the Case Is
Set Forth.

Washington, Sept. 13.-It was indi-
Gated here that the United States will
be asked to mediate between Poland
and Lithuania, each of which accuses
the other of invading and attempting
to hold good section Of its territory.
The two nations are practically at
war.
Probable action was forecast by re-
ceipt at the state department of long
communication from the American le-
cation at Warsaw.
It includes the summary of a note
sent by the Polish foreign Office giving
POlands side of the controversy. The
facts set forth in the Polish note are:
1. That when the Polish forces re-
treated before the invading soviet
army the Lithuanian government made
an arrangement with the soviets by
which Russian forces were given free
use of Lithuanian territory for mill
tary purposes, including passage Of
troops.
Accuse Poles.
2. That when Poland was forced to
evacuate Augustow and Sejuy, recog-
nized as ethnOgraphical Poland terri
tory by the supreme council on Deem
Der 8, Lithuanian troops occupied 1t
and committed excuses against the
Polish population.
3. That later, when the Polish army
Te-entered this territory In an advance
against the sOviets, Lithuania sent a
note to Poland stating that the from
tiers as formerly drawn could not be
recognized and asking the Poles to
withdraw beyond the GrajewO-Augus-
tow line. Poland replied by asking
Lithuania to withdraw beyond the
frontiers accorded Poland by the SUI
preme council.
Tells of Attack
The Polish communication to the
United States recites that, although
her claims to the territory in question
were clearly established and in face
of her conciliatory attitude, Lithuanian
forces attacked Polish detachment
at Sejuy on September 2, subsequent
ly attacked Suwalki and advanced
upon Augustow.
1t is further charged by Poland that
soviet troops co-Operated with Lithua-
MAN forces and that still larger Rus
sian forces were modified back of the
Lithuanian line Of advance.
