WORLDS ONLY FIVE
RING CIRCUS COMING
RumOr Now Confirmed. Biggest
Circus, Ringing Bros. and Bar
mum & Bailey Headed This Way.

Yoo-hoo! Skinnay! Lookit, 1ookit!
Worlds first and only five ring cir
Gus coming this way! A hundred
double-length railroad cars loaded
with the ten thousand wonders of the
Ringing Brothers and Barnum &
Bailey Combined Shows that will give
performances at Duluth, August IA.
Never has there been more than
three rings in the past. Now the
famous brother showmen have fixed
it so folks at the ends of the tent
can see just as much as those who
sit near the middle. Imagine five
big circus rings in row with stages
set in between. That means that five
companies of performing horses,
twenty-four in a group, are presented
at one time. The same is true with
the elephant actors-five herds all
performing stunts at one time.
Big acts are the rule in the great
new circus of 1926. Aside from the
five troupes of liberty horses, two
hundred others, each ridden by an ex-

splendid maneuvers on the mammoth
hippodrome track. Thirty additional
ones are of the high-school type,
while a score of superb thorough
breds leap hurdles and barriers of
record height. The number of trained
horses alone carried for this seasons
program reaches the astounding total
of three hundred and fifty.
The equines but share honors in
the twenty-five displays. In addition
to them are the eight hundred aeria-
lists, bareback champions, gymnasts
and high-wire artists. These en-
brace the worlds foremost men and
women stars including a host of re-
Gently imported foreign features.
Some of these number families of
nine, eleven and fifteen in an act. A
hundred of the worlds funniest
clowns enliven the more than two
hours of circus program. The tour
nament is the most dazzling yet de-
yised. The menagerie has been in
creased to more than a thousand rare
animals. The tent which houses
them is almost as large as the big
top of other seasons. The 1926 main
tent seats over $4,000 people.

CAUSE FOR OPTIMISM

We often hear the remark that
there are too many automobiles and
that the country is going an awful
pace in spending. There is some
truth in it, but where the spending
is overdone it is the individual him
self. He must look out for his own
economic welfare and not go beyond
his means. This is a rich country,
we have much to spend, and it is
certainly splendid that folks of or
binary means may today enjoy that
which was reserved for kings and
lords of other days. sa =.
Material possessions is not the
great goal-in fact it means nothing
may spell only ruination if that is
all one possesses but it is something
we must have-it is necessary and
certainly the spiritual life cannot
grow and be what it should be under
starvation conditions. ira. e..
Read what correspondent writing
to the Christian Science Monitor sub

country as a whole is in good finan-
Cldl circumstances dllu IuSIC al =
good reasons to look the future square
in the eye with optimism. Here
are the figures:
In 1920 there were twenty-five mil
lion depositors in the savings banks
of this country, and last year they
had grown to 43,S0O,000. Their de-
posits, in the same time, had grown
from eleven billion dollars to twenty
three billion dollars-more than
double -...
In 1920 there were 1880 building
and loan associations in this country,
and in 1924 there were 10000. The
members grew from 100000 to
100000, and their assets from
$2,OOO,OOO,OOO to $4,O00,000,000 -,
In 1920 the life insurance compan-
les wrote $S,5OO,OOO,OOO in new poll
cies, and in 1925 they wrote $16,OOO,-
100000 Their total policies grew
from $35, ZOO, 100000 to ST. ZOO, 900, 900.
If like figures. on ownership =: of
stocks and bonds could be compiled,
they would show equally startling
gains-perhaps even more startling.

ASKOV 14-SANDSTONE 3

By beating Sandstone, IA to 3,
in the game played at Askov
Sunday, Askov took a, stride near
er to first place. and to winning
the pennant in the Pine County
League.
Askov has six games yet to
play-two each with Bruno, Be-
roun, and Sturgeon Lake. Sand
stone has only three games left
Beroun, Sturgeon Lake and Bru-
no.. If Askov wins all it's remain
ing games and Sandstone also
captures its games, Askov will
win the pennant. A defeat for
Askov will entitle Sandstone to
the gonfalon while either Stur-
geon Lake or Beroun can win the
priced bunting by coping all of
their remaining games. The
winning of the Pine County pen
nant will be a merry chase from
now on with anyone of four
teams capable OF bringing home
the bacon"
~ Askov connected for five hits
off Larson and counted six runs
on these and an error with only
one out, thus knocking him out
of the box right at first. Be-
cause of two more Sandstone err
rors and another hit Askov
showed over four more runs on
Carlson, relief hurler, before he
could retire the side, bringing
the total to ten runs in the
first inning, winning the contest
then and there.
Not counting the first inning
Askov beat the league leaders
as Askov made four more runs
and Sandstone had to be salts
fed with three.
A double: play, Thomson to So
rensen to C. Hyldahl was the fea-
ture of the contest. Sandstone's
seven errors proved costly and
figured heavily in the defeat.

ELECTRICITY ON THE FARM

AS time goes on electric power is
used more and more, and the time
is likely not far distant when it will
also be used extensively on farms.
Where there are a number of farms
within small radius as for instance
those adjoining villages the light and
power advantages are in many cases
taken advantage of, but where the
farms are far apart-only two farms
to mile or similar-the expense for
making connections is almost prohib-
tive.
Following is a little article on cleo
tricity on the farm clipped from the
Industrial News Bureau:
"The problems encountered in
bringing electricity to the farm, are
similar to those which would be
found if the farmer attempted to de-
liver potatoes to his customers, for
each meal, two or three potatoes only,
and had to haul them several miles
with a heavy tractor to each custo-
mer separately. Cheaply raised po-
tatoes would then be very costly when
delivered. If, however, larger guam
titles can be taken on each trip and
cheaper transportation can be pro-
duced, the cost, delivered, is not so
much greater than the cost of pro-
ductfon.
"By no other economically sound
process can the problems of bringing
electricity to the farmer be solved,
except by increasing usefulness.
Electric companies are giving, to
this end, their sincere and eff
fective efforts, with encouraging re-
suits. Increasing usefulness is the
main idea and until the farmer can
be induced to make the most extern
sive use possible of electric service
the problem will remain a difficult
one"

HE MEANT 1T

Miss Murphy is a teacher in one
of the lower grade schools at North
ampton, Mass. She was teaching her
pupils to repeat in concert the twenty
third psalm. She felt that one little
boy was not saying it correctly.
The next time the class recited the
psalm she stood near this, boy, and
found, when it came to the verse,
Surely, goodness and mercy shall
follow me-" etc., he said, Surely,
good Miss Murphy shall follow me all
the days of my life. Boston Daily
Globe.

HAIL THE CONCRETE MIXER

Anoka Union: While the world
maryels at the airplane, the autemo-
bile and the radio, hailing them as the
nroudest achievements of civilization,
the lowly concrete mixer rumbles dog
gedly on and gets but meager share
Of the glory. Ugly as linotype, noisy
as a tractor, dirty as sand-suckeE
dredge, it does its work and all things
considered, does it well. The halls OF
state. the towers of commerce and the
equestrian statues of victorious gen.
erals must wait until the concrete
mixer has poured forth the stuff to
make their foundations.

PARIS:
Bodies of American Soldiers Still Being Found on French Battlefelds- No War Observance in Paris.

Paris, August T. GP-Although 1t is nearly eight years since the end of the World War, American searchers in the old battle area are continually finding bodies of American soldiers who fell in battle and were buried hastily nearby. Searching has been going more or less regularly during the entire period since the Armstice. but in recent months the Oise-Asne, Meuse-Argonne and Somme sectors have been literally combed with the result that 261 bodies have been found, of which 175 have been positively identified.
 The searching work is being done by three separate parties consisting of American investigator and four five laborers. The investigator works by map and terrain over ground where certain regiments and bat talions fought and from which men are still counted as missing. The quick growth of vegetation has made the work difficult, as grass and bush have grown over temporary burial places and in fact, changed the entire appearance of the land,
 Recently the bodies of seven Marines were found in the Oise-Aisne sector, buried togeth- CT, this being one of the largest finds in many months, as usually only single bodies are recovered.

U. S. STUDENTS TOURING

With students from fifty-two American American universities travelling in the tourist cabin of the Leviathan shortly after the close of the college year, the Atlantic ocean has become a huge Summer campus, says Dr. s. c, Rowan, president of Davidson College Alumni Association Dr. Rowan believes the gathering together of such groups of college students means better understanding among young men and women from different parts of the United States. as well as a better understanding between them and students abroad.
 "All are classmates on this 'summer campus Dr. Rowan declared when he ar rived at Cherbourg "on the Leviathan scions of Harvard, Yale, Princeton; Pennsylvania, Chicago, Cornell and Brown, for instance, for got they were rivals for generations and joined together in the sports and social life of the ship. Mlionaires and poor youngsters college belles and football heroes are all the same in the third cabin of liner.''
 While the number of American students crossing to Europe this year exceeds consid- erably the number last year, indications that there will be reritable flood of such travellers coming abroad in 1927.

ARE PRESENTING MEDALS

The old Hohenzollern custom of fostering domestic felicity by presenting medals to couples on their golden wedding anniversary has been revived by the Evangelical church of Prussia
 The Prussian Ministry of the Interior re- gently announced that gifts of 50 marks in cash would be presented to each couple married 50 or 50 years. The medals will be presented only to church members.
 According to designs of Prof. Richard Pfeiffer of Koengsberg, the bronze medals will show an aged couple kneeling beside an altar renewing marital vows. The edge con tains the following inscriptions Be happy In your hopes, patient in your sorrows, and be- lieve in prayer"
