Real Wild West
September 9=1O
Show VIII Equal Those Put on by
Larger Cities, Minus the OBJ
~jectiOnable Features.

Except for the cOngested crowds of
humanity, the discomfort from ex-
treme heat and no shade. the great
gathering of crooks II fakirs of all
varieties. looking for human prey. and
some other unpleasant and objection
able features always found at big town
frontier shows and %round-ups, Sara
toga's wild west show and race meet on
September . and 10 will stack up"
with any Of them. The committee has
assurance of a big string Of bad horses
for the b~ucEing contest, many track
horses are being prepared for the
races, and everything is favorable for
n great two-days performance.
No horses can buck harder or longer
than the outlaws from this valley and
better riders than we have here are
seldom seen. The races will be for
blood between local horses, and the
show throughout will be up to last
years. with some added attractions.
Cool weather, lots of shade, pleasant
camping grounds with plenty Of room
for everyone, good fishing within a
few steps, and every opportunity for n
most pleasant outing in addition to
witnessing an all-around good show
should bring many people from v q
the county TO Saratoga ON September
9th and 10th.

THE TURKISH MEN
STILL REFUSE TO
LOOK UPON THE
TURKISH WOMEN
WHEN PASSING THEM IN
THE STREETS OR
ROADS.
Associated Press.

ANGORA, Aug, 24.-Turkish men
still refuse to look upon unveiled
Turkish women when passing them
in the streets or on the roads, despite
the attempt Of the latter to adopt the
parchments of Halide Hanum and
other workers for the freedom of
woman in Asia Minor.
According to customs it is impo-
lite to flirt in public or address or
look on the face of our women, and |
can't break the CUSTOM explained a
Turkish officer travelling with the
correspondent.
In the Nationalist capital of Angora
Halide Hanum Mufide Ferid Hanum,
the author and wife of the former
Minister of France and many women
who came out from Constantinople to
support the Nationalist government,
go about the streets or ride horse
back with their wells turned back and
folded into a handsome head-dress,
modelled after the Russian style.
But outside of Angora, despite the
example set by American women of
charity organizations, or the example
of Greek and Armenian women, most
of the Turkish women strictly main
tain the old custom.
This applies not only TO women of
the households but also to the many
women seen working in the fields or
along the roads, driving OK carts or
donkeys laden with army supplies, or
wheat being exported to Russia.
The custom of yelling has long
been modified to the extent that the
face to be shown freely to the men
of the village or Of the party with
whom the women may be working
or travelling, but so soon as a strang-
er, whether Turk or European ap-
the veil is drawn. If the
stranger is Turk he looks straight
ahead as if the women were not pres
ant. If the European or American
turns his head to catch a glimpse Of
the women, they hurridly pull the
veil closer, so only the eyes can be
seen. The older the woman, the
closer the veil is drawn.
As the pretty gauze of thin clothes
of pre-war days, white, blue or
brown, cannot be had, the wells are
often Of coarse white cotton, and in
the case of the working women the
cloth may be a stiff heavy cotton
which serves as a sun bonnet. Some
times the headpiece drops to the
waist or further and can scarcely be
from the loose, flowing
garments SO characteristic Of the
Orient. If the wearer be very poor,
the veil and other garments may be
but a crazy quilt thing of patches of
all colors and thicknesses, pathetic

THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE MAKES
Statement In Regard To The Pro-
posed Drainage Bond Issue And
The Committees Work.
Daily Commonwealth:

Daily Commonwealth:
The following appeared in yester-
days issue:
"The bond issue to be submitted is
the same that the organizations pre-
sented to the Commissioners on Aug.
18th, but in the estimate of the cost
they had failed to provide for the ex-
penSe of supervising the construc-
ton of the proposed work"
This is literally true, but might
lead to the impression that the Com
mittee had overlooked this feature.
The fact is that the estimates are
those of the city engineer, and the
Committee purposely omitted provl-
sion for supervision, advertising, etc,
thinking the city could and should
take care of those items and avoid
the issue of any greater amount OF
bonds than actually necessary. The
City Commissioners however showed
that present paving contracts and the
probability that the wood block paw
ing would also have to be replaced
within year, made it necessary that
the bond issue should take care OF
all the drainage expense, and the ad-
ditlonal amount necessary, was added
by the Committee. The Committee
mas made no recommendations and
submitted no estimates that have not
either been made or approved by the
City Engineer. This joint commit
lee embraced some of the most thor
ough and capable business men of
The county, and they labored diligent-
~ on this proposition for several
weeks neglecting their own business
70 do SO, and it is safe to say that
they have overlooked nothing. They
nave been working in full cooper
a1lon with the city authorities, not
anfagonism, and it is believed and
hoped their action marks the be-
ginning of new attitude toward
public officials and administrations
"a real, earnest and public spirited
desire to aid, instead of one Of chron-
and ineffective fault finding.
lnere'S good deal of difference be-
tween wheel horse" and porcu-
pine.
