Palmer Bros. Circus
Shows Here in Full
Panoply Monday

For the first time in several wears
Sisseton was visited Monday by cir
Gus. Palmer Bros. arrived here
Sunday and Monday gave show
both afternoon and evening. Both
performances were we'll attended,
the afternoon show being attended
by capacity crowd.
To say that Palmer Bros. Circus
is first class one would be Jug
Cling facts. To say it is no good
would be doing them an injustice.
To say that the circus is mediocre is
fair enough. The disappointing
features seemed to be in the lack OF
acrobatic performers, trapeze work,
etc. And to be frank. this portion of
the circus is very much abbreviated,
but they advertised wild animal
circus. and in this respect they met
expectations. They have some good
wild animal performing, several
trained horses and dogs, ETC., which
made up the show for the most part.
One of the outstanding features
OF the afternoon and evening shows
was the wrestling match by s.Whirl-
wind" Burns, a member of the cir
Gus, and Emil Akre of this city. The
match took place in the aftershow.
Akre stayed with the indomitable
Burns to draw both times, notwitf-
standing Burns did all in his power
to pin our Emil to the mat both times
he failed, and Emil seemed to have
the better of the game all the time.
1t was a good advertising feature,
and was the means of several re-
manning for the concert who would
not have otherwise.
Those in charge of the circus are
men whom we found to be pleasan.
to deal with, and conducted them-
selves as gentlemen. AS a whole,
we believe the majority Of those at
tending we're we'll pleased and tina.
the circus was all that they expected.

FARMERS
DECLARE
FREEDOM
NATIONAL COUNCIL FILES NEW
BILL OF RIGHTS FOR PRODUC.
ERS WITH CONGRESS

Government ownership of rail-
roads, government control of all nat
ural resouces, taxation of war prof.
iteers and abolition of militarism
are the outstanding demands in a
Declaration OF independence" for
farmers presented to Congress by the
Farmers National Council.
Five thousand million dollars or
more, the statement declares, is the
loss which the farmers of America
sustained last year from the slump
in the price of farm products.
The farmers it is declared, are de-
termined that the credit relations ON
which they depend shall be complete
ly severed from Wall street influence
and control.
This, with government owner.
ship and operation Of the rail-
roads, 1t is asserted, will save
the farmers at least billion
dollars each year.
The statement continues:
1.-The progressive farmers have de-
clared their independence Of the
Big Five. packers and will not rest
until they have secured real packer
control.
Challenge to l'rOnteers
'They have thrown down a chal-
lenge to the war profiteers and asert-
ed their right to be freed from bear
ing for half century the cost Of the
war and demand in unequivocal
language that the war profiteers who
escaped unscathed shall be compel
led to pay their fair share of the war
costs.
"The progressive farmers assert
their rights and the rights Of the
American people to common use Of
the natural resources Of the country
and demand that the development
thereof be subject to absolute gov
ernment control.
sThe farmers of America refuse
to be made subject to the militarists
of this country. They are opposed
to universal compulsory military
training and to a huge navy and
large standing army.
"This Declaration Of independence
is no idle dream, but the solemn con-
viction of American farmers. Con-
gress will do we'll to heed this de-
mand and to give adequate relief and
prompt response to the Just demands
of the farmers in their declaration"
1t is charged by officers Of the
Farmers National Council that agents
Of the Department of Justicce have
been interfering with its activities
and they say protest will be file1
with Congress and an investigation
demanded to determine whether the
espionage practice by the govern
ment during the war Is continued
over into times Of peace.

Daniels Aims
 At Big Fleet
 Says Hayashi

London, Jan. - believe that Secretary of the Navy Daniels is a genuinely religious, peace-loVing man, like most of the Americans. but he has set cut to construct fleet so strong that America will be able to of right to all the other nations of thew orld."
 This declaration was made by Baron Hayashi, Japanese ambassa- dor to Great Britain. in an interview printed in the Daily Telegraph today.
 The Japanese ambassador pointed out that, if the new Japanese naval program were completed the Japan ese fleet would equal only half the strength of the American navy.
 "Our service establishments may at first seem large, but not when one considers the immense length or our coast line and the land frontiers we have to defend" said Baron Hayashi.
 "In an emergency there are numer- ous islands to be defended and it must be remembered that our territory is far from compact. How could we, with a fleet not half so strong as that of the United States, harbor any az gressive designs against the United StateS?'
 Replying to a question as to wheth- CT he had any suspicion of American aggression, the Ambassador replied that he had not. 1t was at this Hayashi made his reference to Secre- tarv Daniels He added:
 "But even the most righteous some times lapse through pride or aberra- | ton of wisdom. Provisions should | be prescribed against such lapses. Baron Hayshi advocated a contin- nance of the open door policy in the Far East and close Japanese-Chinest | friendship.

TELLS HOW

"The great trouble with the poultry business has always been that the laying life of a hen was too short" says Henry Trafford, International Poultry Expert and Breeder, for nearly enighteen years Editor of Poultry Success. ,...
 The average bullet lays 150 eggs. If Kept the second year, she may lay 100 more. Then she goes to market. Yet, it has been scientifically established that every bullet is born or matched with over one thousand minute egg germs in her system-and will lay them on a highly profitable basis over a period of four to six years time if given proper care.
 How to work to get 1000 eggs from every hen; how to get bullets laying early; how to make the old hens lay like bullets; how to keep up heavy egg production all through cold winter months when eggs are highest; triple egg productions; make stacker hens hus- tie: s .00 profit from every hen in six winter months. These and many other money making poultry secrets are con- tainede in MT. rsTrafferd's '1.00O EGG HEINZ system of poultry raising, one copy of which will be sent absolutely free to any reader. of this paper who keeps six hens or more. Eggs should go to dollar or more 9 dozen this winter. This means big profit to the poultry keeper who gets the eggs. MT. Trafford tells how. If you keep chickens and want them to make money for you, cut out this ad and send it with your name and address to Henry Trafford, Suite 106 S, Tyne Bldg, Binghamton, N. r., and a free copy of THE 1000 EGG HEN'' will be sent by return mail

When "A Girl Marries
by ANN LISLE

"Oh, Phoebe!" cried Neal.
 It was fairly wrung from him, and the honest longing of it seemed cer- tain to break down the barriers of Phoebe's hurt pride, if I decided to get out of the room and leave them alone to find each other again.
 Excuse me-" I said; 'I must go,' and mumbled something about airing the beds.
 fairly ran across the room and, brushing past Phoebe, I noticed that she was swaying a little on her feet In another second I would have been gone; but the phone chose that par icular moment to Shrill out-and never more harShly. "I'll answer" I stammered, and rushed to the telephone. came Dick Vests voice over the tel | ephone. I've just had a Iong-dis- tanee from friend husband.

CHAPTER CLXx1.
 Neal leaped to his feet and stood rigid-at attention.
 Fifteen minutes before I had seen Phoebe standing like this with the jade necklace lying at her feet. Ana now, with my heart feeling as if 1t throat, I turned, knowing what to expect.
 But, as a matter of fact, I hadn't known quite what to expect. |. There in the doorway as I had, of course, guessed-stood Phoebe. But such a different Phoebe.
 Above a sophisticated centre part ing her hair was drawn from her lit tie ears and piled hign in great puffs of curls. From those ears, reddened slightly at the Iobes, hung her jade earrings. Her lips and cheeks were reddened too, and. her wide. wfstful eyes were narrowed and hardened by | the black lines drawn under them to elongate them. She had wrapped herself iT my coral-colored Peigno oir and over it hung her jade necklace. She looked very bea utifuT and very worldly and very ridiculous, poor baby. @s+ F Neal stood staring at her. and for Q second she started back. For all 1 their absurd paint, her lips had a childish sweetness and pathetic droop. In moment or two that was gone. And Phoebe came forward | both hands swung out in a welcome that lost all savor and flavor for the | words that rendered it meaningless Lieutenant Hyland! This is a nice surprise" she said in one of those near-cordial voices that sound like a sm othered yawn.
