CIRCUS Will
BRING SMALL
WORLD HER F
Christy Shows to Be in Bis
marck Monday, May 2S-
Parade at Noon

A miniature world, picturesque
bizarre, colorful, as foreign to hum.
drum every day life, as existence in
the jungle is to the hectic life Of
the crowded mart, will settle among
us for brief space, when the
Christy Shows pauses here Mon
day. May %, on its annual hegira.
The white city Of the performers
and menagerie exhibits will rise
with the dawn, like a huge mirage
on the eastern horizon, and with
the dusk it will blazon and sparkle
far into the night. And then with
the coming Of another dawn it vii!
fold its tents and silently steal
away.
When the Christy Shows village is
established and the II canopieti
white tops are erected, seven acres
of ground are covered, and almost
every trade and profession is repre-
scented. They are BARRIERS, res
tauranteurs, lawyers. doctors, black
smiths, wagon makers, detectives
and so on down the line Of village
life, and there is everything that
goes with a well regulated village
except a charter.
Speak Many Languages
Nearly every language is spoken
in this strange colony, and all re-
ligions are 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 pre-
pared to meet their Maker. And
rarely Sunday goes by that the
majority Of them may 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 81 walters serve it.
It would seem that after taking
first place among all the shows
that ever existed, the Christy Shows
would be content with the great dis
tinction. But such is not the case.
Not content to let we'll enough alone,
they have contrived to still further
enlarge their wonderful organiza-
ton and today it stands as a sort
of worlds eighth wonder.
Parade at Noon
The two-mile long parade will
leave the show grounds promptly at
noon, and performances are sched-
uled for 2 o'clock for the afternoon
and s o'clock for the night show.
Doors will open an hour earlier so
that all may have an opportunity
to visit the menagerie.

STATE CROPS
MAKE GROWTH
Van Dusen Harrington Report
Calls North Dakota Out.
look Good

Crop conditions in North Dakots
are satisfactory according to the
weekly bulletin of the Van Dusen.
Harrington Co., made public today
It says:
Weather conditions the past week
have been favorable for the north.
western grain crops. Temperatures
have been seasonable and light tc
moderate rainfall has been reported
in the southern territory. with
heavy rains in the northern areas
There are dry spots developing, in
sections of north central South Da-
kota and southern North Dakota
and good general rains would great
~ benefit the crops in these dis
tricts.
Wheat and coarse grains in the
grass stage. Reports from Mime
sofa and South Dakota indicate a
healthy color, but thin stand, or
account of improper stooling. Rus
sian thistles have made Roadway
during the dfy weather, and are
quite noticeable in grain on last
years corn ground. We had earlier
reports that much reseeding would
be necessary on fields that were
badly blown, but recent develop
ments show considerable improve
mcnt and actual replanting will be
small.
Corn planting is almost completed
in the southern districts and early
fields are up and show good
stand. There is evidence Of cut
worms, but no damage reported.
Conditions in North Dakota
especially in the northern part of
the state, are satisfactory. Both
wheat and coarse grains have made
splendid progress, the past few
days. Late sown fields, that were
thin on the ground, on account of
poor termination, show considerable
improvement. Fields are clean and
practically free from wild oats.
Montana Conditions
In eastern Montana, farmers COM
plain of poor termination in late
grain, because of dry weather. In
the central part of the state there is
sufficient moisture. In the Judith
Basin, winter wheat prospects are
promising.
Winter rye in the southern dis
tricts is heading short, and general
" of thin stand. Under the most
favorable conditions, the crop will
be light.
New ground is being broken in
western South Dakota, northwestern
North Dakota and northern Mon
tana for flax. and some seeding has
been done. With the proper amount
of moisture, there will be a con-
siderable increase in acreage of flax
in that territory.
AS a summary, the soil this
spring was in good condition for
seeding. On account of the high
winds, the ground has dried on tor
and seed has not terminated prop
erly. This gives an uneven appear.
ance to many fields. The Northwest
has not had the usual spring rains
and unless there is moisture soon
the crops, in places will develop
some damage.
