STORES CLOSED
First Wednesday Half Holiday for Clerks Today-Bargain Day a Suc- cess.

The half holiday season for the clerks in the stores affiliated with the lccal Chamber of Commerce. began with the closing of the business places this afternoon, and Main street mer- chants report that the first bargain day, held on the morning of each closing day. was decided success.
 The idea of the merchants who are members of the Chamber of Con- merce, closing their places of busi- ness for a half day on "Wednesday throughout the summer was begun a few years ago and has become a pop ular practice. Saturday being the big day in the mercantile establishments, it's was not thought good policy to close on that day, and Wednesday, be-
 ing in the middle of the week, and one of the so-called slow days, was chosen as the best day for the move ment. It has been followed by all the merchants who are members of the Chamber of Commerce and has proved itself to be decided success from every point of view.
 On the morning of the days upon which the stores are closed, bargain day is held, and many articles are put up for sale at reduced prices, and the first trial of the movement this morn
 ing brought out a large number of bargain seekers. All morning long, the stores reported a rushing busi- ness, and the merchants who partook in the movement are enthusiastic over the prospects for the coming season

IMPORTANT FACTOR
Immigration of American or Russian American Workmen is Proving a Decided Help to Soviet Industry.

Moscow, June 29,-Immigration of American or Russia American work men is becoming an increasingly i'm portant factor in Russian industry. Ludwig Martens, former Soviet Am bassador to the United States" who now is in charge of this department in Russia recently reported to the Coun- cil of Labor and Defense that over 5000 of these immigrants have recent ly arrived. Many others are on the way, including mechanics, agricultural groups and technical experts.
 The council of labor and defense resolved to support this immigration because it does not burden Russia, but on the contrary lightens the sit uation as the immigrants bring their own food and tools.

Of the best riding acts in the business
and. rather than deprive people of the
pleasure of seeing these, why not let us
put on those acts at the close Of the show,
lowering the walls Of the tent and charging
no adnassion?"
The official saw the point. He was liberal
minded man. He told as to go ahead on the
basis had outlined. When the local author
tiles began bounding us for the payment Of our
81 1000 license, showed our state authority to
proceed as an Entertainment" The highest
license paid during that first season in Texas
was $s2.5o.
It can be imagined that during these months
In Texas, when we were the first circus to visit
the state FOR three years, were prosperous for
the grafters with the show. Every magma
bic form Of graft game was worked and was
prosperous. It is queer thing, bur an abso-
Lutte fact, that large proportion Of the people
who attend circuses, especially in outlying dis
tricts, expect to find these games iii operation.
Unless they have chance to try shell game
or something Of the sort they feel that they
have been deprived Of part Of their legiti-
mate amusement. This used to be part Of the
plea put mp TO the political powers in
smoothing the way for the graft games IN my

from the obliging gentleman he was short
most Of the change from the bill which he had
proffered in payment for the tickets. Perhaps
he never woke up to his loss, but thrust his
change into his pocket, without counting. Or,
If he did wake up, maybe he did not have the
nerve to go back and protest. He did not feel
like making show Of himself before all those
folks. Better let the short-changer get away
with what he had than for the honest citizen
to expose himself to ridicule as one 30 green
as to be robbed in such easy fashion.
To those who deal with short-change artists
Of any sort have but one word Of advice.
That is, go back and kick hard. Make your
objections strenuous, and let it be known that
you do not intend to leave until you get your
money back. You will have your change re-

Its effect, because it was based on truth.
Inc outsider has no conception Of the
thought that has been put into circus-sraft
games. Early in the morning on the circus ,os
the graft men would round up local talent
which was educated" for a minor part in
the snow that went on outside the tents.
YOUTH on promise of a ticket that would sad
NIT him to everything" would consent to ar.
as capper for graft game Everything
was worked out according to system, and it
was seldom that there was a sIip.un. Tho
spleier, behind the shells, if IL was a sbell
game being worked, would direct the boostsr
standing in front. The booster would have
one capper on each side and one behind hin,
SO that his operations were concealed from
the crowd. Then there would be an outsda
man. at the back, with two more cappers, who
mad their parts to play At signal from tina
sp1eler, who is the brains of all graft onera-
tlons, the booster would slip IS bill
to capper and indicate where the bst ,v.s
to be placed.
Sometimes on getting money in such a wav.
capper would break away and dash tbrouqb
the crowd. But usually the outside man
would prevent his getaway. AS a general
thing, however, the company ~ent through the
program as rehearsed. BY means Of these

crowd could be started to real betting. Some
such lnducement was needed, as q crowd ia

lot, and, Of course, they gave lots of trouble
to me as well as the public. They hated to
see any one getting away with money which
might be put into the hands Of better
men.
1t was not alone in selling tickets that these
outside short-change men made their killings.
One of these ticket sellers would .spot'' good
natured, prosperous looking individual in the
crowd that was surging by and would say:
3Brotser, would you mind giving me q
$40 bill for some Of this small money!"
The word "some" would have double mean

In the small towns in those early days most

saloon was the best center for political dope.
The hotel clerks knew more about travelling

those who were somebodies in politics.
