Circus People Want Police Protection When Kongo, Big Elephant, is Unloaded. The circus people have requested the mayor, chief of police and city council to give them police protection during the unloading of Kongo—the huge elephant just imported from In- dia. He is unloaded about six o’clock each morning. Is considered very dangerous, and if proper officials are present there will be no danger of anpone being injured. They have also requested that all traffic upon streets to the circus grounds, over which ‘“Kongo”’ will have to travel, will be suspended during the hours of six and seven in the morning. In the event the big beast would meet a team of horses, a cow, a dog, or some animal not known to him, he might prove too much for the ten keepers who are employed to guard and fight him. He is heavily chained and ev- ery precaution is taken. with the big beast. ‘‘Kongo”’ has elephant instinct however and will accept peanuts from menagerie patrons and is seemingly very happy when in the menagerie tent with the other animals.

Hawkins| Missouri Live Stock. The crowning feature of the Mis- the live stock exhibition, and during the last eleven years the directors of, the fair have been successful in hav- ing stock shows equal to those of any fair in the whole country. The influence of the stock exhibi- tions year after year has been made apparent throughout the state by the raising of better grades of horses, cattle and swine. The size of the herds have been increased and, with the improvement of the breeds, the total valuation of Missouri live stock has been wonderfully increased as is shown annually by the statistics gath- ered by the State Board of Agricul- ture, the census takers and the coun- ty assessors. The value of horses and colts in Missouri in 1900 equalled $42,095,000 and in 1910 it had increased to $113,- 708,000, showing the wonderful in- erease of 170 per cent. During the ;same period the value of mules in- creased from $15,482,000 to $43,363, - 000, an increase of 180 per cent. During the ten-year period the value }of swine was increased from $16,- |534,000 to $31,879,000 and sheep from $3,351,000 to $7,875,000. The exhibition of the best cattle of all breeds, the best draft and light horses, the popular breeds of swine and sheep, year after year, has had a gratifying educational influence up- |on the breeders and farmers of Mis- |souri. Stock of all kinds has been |improved and the census of 1920 will show that the value of live stock has increased four-fold over that of the previous‘ten-year period. The mule show at the state fair |each year is larger and better than at jany fair in the United States, proba- | | bly for the reason that Missouri rais- | es more mules, and better ones, than any other state in the union. The mule show is also interesting and in- structive, demonstrating to what a degree of perfection can be reached by careful and scientific breeding. i Methods of ridding the house of! little red ants are given frequently, though whether effective or not de- pends a great dea! on the housewife. | it should bea ‘“‘war of extermination,” | and no half-hearted measures _ will answer.

A heavy chalk mark entirely surrounding the piece of fur- niture, or on each of its, is also rec- | ommended.

J.—Woodrow Wilson at the “Little White House” at Sea Girt is daily called upon to demonstrate his ability as a ready speaker. There is not a day passes but what he meets various delegations who call to assure him of their support. In speaking of political machines to the Brooklyn Democratic club Gover- nor Wilson said: “Machines are bad, but an organization may be very es sential. For instance, I have been surrounded by an organization here in New Jersey while doing my best work. A machine uses its political opportu- nities for the selfish ends of its mem- bers. No members of our organization would ever think of doing that. Pub- lic opinion in New Jersey has drawn the distinction. It has killed the ma- chines, and it is going to keep the or- ganization going. “It seems to me that we are stand- {ng in the presence of something high- er than allegiance to the Democratic party. The country has been disap- pointed in the Republican party, and it is turning to the, Democratic party. That party is willing to show the way toward those things which must be realized, “Some gentlemen seem to find it easy to make personalities out of poll- tics, but it seems to me that whenever that is done politics 1s debased: “Men who are in search of reform are now resorting to the Democratic party, because, for my own part, I do not know where else they will turn to expect the results. There is no dis- ‘counting the strength and serviceabil- ity of a united party, and the splendid part is that the Democratic party is united. “Speaking seriously, nothing affords me more genuine pleasure than to re- ceive such greetings from men in Jer- sey who have at least tested my quall- ties. Because you have known me at close range and if you will be kind enough to vouch for me perhaps the rest of the country will be credulous of your report. “T have spent a great deal of time since I became governor of New Jer- sey defending your character. It was supposed in the old days, when the board of guardians was in charge of the state, that you were all of you disposed to give the most monopolis- tic trusts in the country a great ring- ing welcome in New Jersey. “New Jersey was known as the mother of trusts—a very troublesome | and questionable family—and I had to spend my time outside New Jersey as- suring the people of the Union that it had not been the fault or the disposi- tion of the people of New Jersey that there were certain gentlemen who had undertaken to carry the Republican party in their pockets and tb adminis- ter independently of the rank and file of Republicans in the state. “New Jersey is progressive, but the United States is progressive, and we ! have here merely a delightful sample of the people of the United States. “Now, these people are not bent on destroying anything, but they are bent ! on setting everything in order; they are bent upon justice; they are bent upon seeing to it that the people in general are partners of the govern- ment, as I was trying to show the other day. And the Democratic party is now placed under a peculiar respon- sibility. It has to prove that it is the worthy instrument of that zeal on the part of the people of the United If it does not prove it now it will never be given another chance to prove it. No party that proves un- faithful to that ideal will ever again be trusted by the people of America. And therefore we are standing at a turning point in our politics. We must | make good or go out of business. In the vernacular, it is a case of ‘put up or shut up,’ because words are going to be discounted. Nothing will be hon- | ored except the actual carrying out of such programs as sensible men may unite in for the common benefit.” We are servants of the peo- ple, the whole people. The na- tion has been unnecessarily, un- reasonably at war with itself. Interest has clashed with inter- est when there were common principles of right and of fair dealing. which might and should have bound them all together not as rivals, but as partners. As the servants of all we are ‘pound to undertake the great duty of accommodation and ad- justment.—From Woodrow Wik gon’s Speech Accepting the Democratic Nomination. Wilson will make the most accessi- bie president who has ever ‘occupied 'the White House. He is typically a Democratic man. Wilson is the best equipped man nominated for the presidency since Lincoln. ; t George W. Perkins is sure __ | Recidenes "Prone 104. |, The Small Amounts. .
