CHRISTY BROS.
ANIMAL SHOWS

A miniature world, picturesque.
bizarre, colorful, as foreign to
humdrum every day life, as exis-
tence in the jungle is to the hectic
life of the crowded mart, will set
tie among us for a brief space,
when the Christy show pauses
here Monday, July 2, on it's annual
hegira. The white city of the
performers and menagerie exhi-
bits will rise with the dawn. like
a huge mirage on the eastern hor-
lion, and with the dusk it will
blazon and sparkle far into the
night. And then with the coming
of another dawn it will fold it's
tents and silently steal away.
When the Christy shows village
is established and the seventeen
canopied white tops are erected,
seven acres of graund are covered,
and almost every trade and profess
sion is represented. They are
BARRIERS, restauranteurs, lawyers,
doctors, Diacksmiths, wagon MAX
ers, detectives and so on down the
line of village life. and there is
everything that goes with a we'll
regulated village except a charter.
Nearly every language is spok-
en- in this strange colony. and all
religions + represented. Most
show performers have strong
religious leanings, for every time
they enter the show arena death
stares them in the face, and they
want to be prepared to meet their
Maker. And rarely a Sunday goes
by that the majority of them NAV
not be found in the churches of
their choice.
Everybody with the show is fed
under two tremendous dining
tents. A chef and seven cooks
prepare the food and thirty-seven
walters serve it.
1t would seem that after taking
first place among all the shows
that ever existed, the Christy
shows would be content with that
great distinction. But such is
not the case Not content to let
well enough alone, they have con-
trived to still further enlarge
their wonderful organization and
today it stands as a sort of worlds
eighth wonder.

OBITUARY
NELS

The Rev. A. O. Johnson was
called to Circle last Friday to of
ficiate at the funeral services OF
Nels Amundson, a pioneer resi-
dent of the BONN country who
died on June II at the age of 70.
Burial was made at Circle. Mr..
Amundson was the father of Mrs.
Gust Burkey and Mrs. Art Kittel-
son, formerly of Wolf Point. The
following is taken from the Circle
Banner:
Mr.. Amundsen had not been in
the best of health for several
years, but felt pretty good of late.
Upon retiring Monday evening, he
told the boys that he would get
up early Tuesday morning, and
help his son Norman get started
on a trip to Oswego. However he
failed to get up at the usual hour
and when they went to call him
found that sometime during the
night he had peacefully passed on.
1t appeared as though he had
merely gone to sleep as no signs
of a struggle were visible.
1t so happened that Mrs.
Amundson was not at home at
the time. A daughter Mrs. Gust
Burkey and family of Moose Jaw
had been visiting at the Amund-
son home, and she had accompan-
led them on to Sidney to visit a
daughter residing there, Mrs. Nils
Anderson, and their trip was sad
dened by receiving news of the
fathers death.
Mr.. Amundson was nearly 70
years of age, and one of the pio-
neers of this section, coming here
in 1914 from Taylor, Wisconsin.
He was a highly respected and
fine old man. He leaves to mourn
his departure a loving wife, and
fourteen children, 9 boys and 5
girls, the youngest of which is Lii
liam who graduated from Circle
high school this spring. He was
the proud father of sixteen chill
dren, but two have already passed
on.
Ten of the fourteen children liv-
ing were present at the funeral
Friday. to accompany the father
to his last resting place.
The children are: Lillian
Amundson, BONN; Mrs. Myrtle
Burkey, Moose Jaw; Mrs. johann
ma Anderson, Sidney; Mrs. Emma
Benson, Taylor, Wis; Mrs. Aida
Kettleson, Oswego, Montana; Jul
Jus, who resides in Washington;
Alfred of Melvina, Wis; Oscar
who resides in Dakota; Ebert OF

LEVI WEISIIE

Levi Wetsite, son of Joshua
Wetsite, died at the Mercy hospi
tai at Williston at about eleven
o'clock Monday night of compli-
cations developed from mastoid-
tits. He had been i'll for over
three weeks and Monday morning
was taken to Williston by his
father on No. 2. After reaching
the hospital he underwent a mas
told operation, but only survived
the operation about half an hour.
Levi was born near Wolf Point
on Nov. II, 1914, and died on
June IS at the age of thirteen
years seven months and n day.
Requiem high mass was celebrat-
ed at the Oswego Catholic church
Wednesday morning. Rev. Father
Benedict officiated at the services.
The boy was laid to rest by the
side of his mother who died April,
1918. The sympathy of a large
number of friends is extended to
the bereaved father who, in the
last ten year, has lost his wife and
a large family of children, only
one daughter being left.

was devoted to populism and me
with financial difficulties whe1
that movement died out.
Having completed a year in
Highland Park college, Des
Moines, young Meredith, then 20
years of age, borrowed $500 with
which he purchased his grandfath-
er's publication. Through six
years it brought him much hard
work and little success The
Farmers Tribune was discontin-
ued and in it's place Mr.. Meredith
established Successful Farming as
a monthly periodical.
That proved the foundation of
the successful Meredith Publica-
tions, the name of Mr.. Meredith's
business to which eventually were
added Better Homes and Gardens
and The Dairy Farmer, the three
having a combined monthly circu
lation of o than 1000, 900
Through his publications recog-
milton as a business leader ia Des
Moinesy the growth of Mr.. Mere
.dith's Influence was a natural Sc.
quence, and led him into politics.
In 1914 he was the democratic
candidate for United States sena-
tor from Iowa and two years later
was his party's candidate for gov
ernor of that state. He was de-
feated on both occasions.
Made Secretary
In 1917, William G. McAdoo,
then secretary of the treasury, ap-
pointed Mr.. Meredith to the board
of excess profits advisers. Two
years later President Wilson nam
ed him a member of the industrial
conference commission and in
January, 1920, selected him for
the post of secretary of agricul-
ture to succeed David F. Houston.
Continuing his interest in pub
lie affairs, Mr.. Meredith became
one of the leaders of the progress
sive dry element of the democrat
ic party. Although not an active
candidate for the democratic nom
ination for president in 1924, his
name was presented to the con
vention and he received $50 votes
on the 101st ballot to rank third
behind John w. Davis and Oscar
w. Underwood.
He was again in the ace for
the nomination in 1928, being put
forth as Iowa's favorite son can
didate in an effort to win dele
gates in the pre-convention cam
paign from Gov. Alfred E. Smith
of New York. The ticket favor
ing the New York governor, how
ever, was successful in the Iowa
primary election.
Edwin Thomas Meredith was
born at Avoca, Iowa, Dec. %, 1876,
the son of Thomas Oliver and Min
ME Minerva Marsh Meredith. He
married Miss Edna c.. Elliott of
Des Moines in 1896. They had
two children.
