GENTRY BROS.
CIRCUS TO PLAY
HERE TOMORROW

The Gentry Brothers, coming to
lei Centro November 10 afternoon
and night. this season features in
its arenic displays the bareback rid
ing acts. which no matter what in
noVationS may be made in the pro-
gram of the circus America s
greatest outdoor amusement still
make the strongest appeal to the
millions Of lovers Of the saWdust
ring IN the opinion of man. it just
isn't circus without the riders, any
more than it would be without the
clowns, and in the old days of the
one-ring circus the clown was the
most important adjunct of the rid
ing feature.
Bareback riding acts have always
been identified with the circus, the
first great stars being European
artists. More than 120 years ago
the first bareback rider to appear
in this country was in Boston. Since
then there have been many stars
whose names have been inseparable
connected with the circus world
among whom are the famous Gran
dell Family. who are featured with
the Gentry Brothers circus.
Elephants and humans have
many likes in common. 1t IS
known fact that they have as much
vanity as woman. and if one gets
TO talking with the keepers of the
Gentry elephants he will get good
inside knowledge Of the habits OF
these Indian brsteS.
The Gentry elephants are mighty
particular about their nails and they
demand a manicure at frequent HI
teryals. They get much enjoyment
out OF a manicure, as the average
individual, and they also like plenty
Of polish, which is sure an indica-
ton of vanity.
Many new stunts especially ap-
pealing to the children are prom
ised by Miss Ida Potter and her
Wise-old elephants.

March 31st is the Last
Day for Old Auto Tags
Get the New Numbers on, Fasten
Securely, Keep Them Visible
Bulletin Urges

March 31st, a Highway bulletin
reminds us is the last day that
1929 automobile licenses may be
legally used. The Secretary of State
has annouced that plates will have
been mailed out before that time to
all who have applied, provided they
sent in the correct amount of
money and the application is in
proper form. Those who drive with
last years tags after that date may
be stopped by any police or peace
officer.
When putting on your new plates,
the bulletin adds, it is we'll to re-
member the following suggestions.
Place the license plates where
they will be visible at all times, and
not obscured by bumpers, luggage,
end gates on trucks, or by any part
of the load.
Fasten them security so they will
not fall off or be defaced or broken.
Duplicate plates cost $500.
Keep the plates clean and
legible at all times. 1t only takes
minute to wash them after trip
over a muddy road.
The bulletin also calls attention
to the new law covering trailers.
Only two wheel trailers of less
than 1000 pounds capacity, used
with pleasure vehicles and not
used in hauling for hire, are ex-
empt. All four wheel trailers, all
trailers used with trucks, all trail
ers of more than 1000 pounds cap
acity, and all trailers used in haul
ing for hire, must be registered.
Trailers which carry license plates
are exempt from the personal pro-
perty tax, but if not so registered,
they are subject to listing by the
assessor.

results which is usually fatal. The
disease is painful from the begin
ming, and progresses rapidly. The
individual becomes quite sick and
has to seek drugs to relieve the
pain. Occasionally the gravest
symptoms of notwithstanding"
may result from a carbuncle, re-
CARELESS of it's location. This is a
very serious complication, and If
the patient is extremely fortunate,
he may overcome the infection in
the blood stream. Mortality in
these cases is very high, and often
the cause of this "blood-poisoning"
can be traced directly to improper
care at the beginning of the
disease.

Carbunckles Often Develop
Into Blood Poisoning
Prompt Attention And Careful
Treatment Should Be Given
At Once

st. Paul, March Carbuncles
are so common an alment that
some people may consider them
lightly, but occasionally the grav.
est symptoms of blood-poisoning
may be the direct result. The NOR.
tality from carbuncles is high be-
cause of the insidious poisoning OF
the blood stream.
A warning to people to regard
the carbuncle as a grave danger is
given by the Educational Com
nittee of the Minnesota State Med
ical Society today.
"Carbuncles, which are frequent
ly confused with boils, ar a much
more extensive and serious infec-
tion," declares the Medical Bull
etin. 'The boil is limited to the
glands of the skin, but the car
buncle also involves the deeper
fatty layer of tissue beneath the
skin. 1t is, however, caused by the
same type of bacterial infection.
1T occurs especially in individu-
ais suffering from diabetes or
kidney disease, or who are re-
covering from some severe illness.
The resistance of these persons is
always poor. Again, it may occur
following a blow, or the squeezing
of a pimple. A frequent site of oc-
currence is the nape of the neck,
which is being irritated continuous
ly by some garment, often a soiled
one. At times, the face or lips are
involved. In the latter case, the
individuals life is endangered, be-
cause the veins which carry the
blood back to the heart, from this
region, must pass beneath the
brain. These veins may become in
fected through injudicious squeez-

Butter 2 Cents Lower

Chicago and New York butter
markets have declined considerably
since the high point Tuesday of
last week. The Chicago market to-
day on 80 Score is 1914 cents
to 371a cents compared with SO y
cents for the high point of last
week.
Receipts of butter on the larger
eastern consuming markets were
heavier last week than for the
week previous, due to heavier milk
and butter production. Reports
from the producing districts of the
Central West indicate that the in
creased production has been fairly
general and that with weather con-
ditions continuing favorable, it is
logical to expect that this situation
will continue.
Egg receipts in Chicago, New
York, Boston, and Philadelphia
Monday to Friday of last week were
371,O43 cases compared with 1863, 195
cases the same days last week, and
375,365 cases the same days a year
ago. There is good demand for
eggs for current consumption, and
surplus stocks are going to stor-
age. Reports issued by the Bur-
eau of Agricultural Economics, U.
S. Department of Agriculture on
the 10 larger Eastern markets on
March 81 this year show 625,O16
cases as compared with 23,292 cases
for the same day last year. Chica-
go market today on fresh graded
firsts is "a to 241a cents. The New
York market on firsts is &c 4 cents.
Live poultry receipts in New
York last week were 227 cars,
which is a good volume for this
season, indicating that there has
been good marketing throughout
the heavier poultry producing dis
tricts. The live poultry volume is
running largely to fowls. The buy
ing demand for consuming trade is
only fair and quotations have been
irregular. The Chicago live poul-
try market today is as follows: Leg
horn fowl, % cents; heavy colored
fowl, 25 cents; light and medium
weight colored fowl, % cents; stag
gy spring chickens, % cents, old
roosters, 20 cents.-Produce Re

Law Requires Rear Light
or Mirrors on All Vehicles
Reflection of Red or Yellow
Visible 200 Feet Under Normal
Conditions Required

Although ample publicity has
been given to the matter, some
owners of wagons and buggies
apparently have not yet learned
that the 1929 legislature amended
the traffic law so as to require a
tail light or reflector on all horse
drawn vehicles using the streets
or highways at night. This lamp or
reflex mirror must show a red or
yellow light visible at least 200 feet
under normal atmospheric condi-
tions.
Dark vehicles are almost invis-
ible at night, especially where there
are brightly lighted cars coming
from the other direction. Several
moderately price reflectors which
comply with the law are on market,
and if properly fastened on the
rear of the vehicle, they require no
further attention except to see
that they aekept clean.
Motors vehicles must have a tail
light, but many car owners also
use a reflector as added protection
incase the bulb burns out or the
driver forgets to turn on his park
ing lights.
This Applies In Stearns Co. Also
An idea of special interest was
recently advanced by one of the
editors friends. Said he in part.
"Some people are inclined to
complain over the vast amounts
expended in building and maintain
ing highways. They call this ex-
travagance, without stopping tc
analyze the Importance of good
roads in modern business.
"Ten years ago there were many
more local trains and acco-
mediation trains through here
than there are today. The bus and
the motor car have taken this
business away from the railroad
and as a result railroads are now
concentrating on long hauls.
Furthermore to call road build,
ing an extravaganza is to fail to
analyze present day economic con-
ditions. The greatest waste today
is the cost of unemployment
Highway construction will help to
absorb this great waste"
The more the editor contem.
plates this mans argument the
more inclined is he to believe that
herein lies the best argument or
the need of improving highways
The money expended in road work
goes to labor which eventually
works it's way around in all lines
of business, while the time saved
the business man more than com
pensates for the additional tax re-
quired.
We are inclined to believe that
there is no tax heavier than the
tax levied by bad roads in wear
and tear on the car, in heavy re-
pair bills, in low gasoline mileage.
It behooves us all therefore to
work continuously for better roads
in and out of Brainerd. Transport
alton has always been an import
ant factor in the development of
any nation, state or community

plete and adequate deve'o"r""n+ ~

Early Spring is Best For Seeding
Lawns

Lawn seeding time for Minnesota
is almost at hand. L. E. Longley of
the division of horticulture at Un-
iversity Farm says that the best
season is from as early in the
spring as the ground is fit to work
on up until about the middle of
May.
In regard to the kind of seed, Mr..
Longley says that Kentucky blue
grass is still the standard variety,
although red fescue and bent grass
have their special uses. Kentucky
blue grass does we'll on a wide
varity of soils but is not so we'll
adapted to light dry soils. Red
fescue is better adapted to lighter
sandy soils and will do better in
shady places than will the blue
grass. Bent grass is also adapted to
lighter, more acid soils.
Since most lawns have varied
are best as they provide different
kinds of seed for the different
conditions. Another reason for mix
lures is that it is often desirable to
have a grass or clover that will
cover the ground quickly and act
as a nurse crop for the permanent
grasses.
To obtain a blue grass lawn, Mr..
Longley recommends the following
mixture:
Kentucky blue grass6 parts
Tteu Top pdFIS
Perennial rye grass --.-----1 part
White clover -.---1 part
Three or four pounds of the above
mixture should be used for each
1000 square feet of lawn. If a red
fecue lawn is desired, fecue may be
substituted for the blue grass in
the mixture and four or five
pounds of seed used per 1000
square feet, because the fecue seed
is coarSer.
