THE BIGGEST DAY Of THE YEAR.
Circus Day Never Fails to Attract-Hagen
back Wallace Coming.
Who is so lacking in loyalty to
the American who did more for the
small boy —and many of the grown
ups too—P. T.Barnum, that he will
not thrill an extra thrill or so when
he sees the lithographs on barns
and fences advertising a circus?
Is there anything else, save the
possible opportunity to peep at the
President of the United States,
that will make you stand in line in
a hot street on a hot morning and
wait an hour for a circus parade
that is always late, but that always
makes up in gorgeousness for time
it kept you waiting? Then how
would you like to sit in a comfort
able theatre and witness an entire
circus day's happenings, from the
time the show arrives until it
leaves town? This will be possible
when the Magenback-Wallace
Shows pictures come to Huttig and
exhibits at the Princess theatre on
Monday night, March 15th.
Probably one of the greatest
triumphs in that ever advancing
business, the moving pictures, was
accomplished when these pictures,
depicting an entire day s happen
ings around the big show were ta
ken. From the time the train ar
rives in the morning, its trip to the
“lot,” the erection of the tents, the
mammoth street parade, the after
noon performance in its entirety,
the tearing down and packing of
the big city of white tops, the load
ing on the train, coupling up and to
the last “high ball" the brakeman
gives the engineer for the big show
town.
The graceful crinoline-skirted
ladies who ride the big white horses
will perform for you, Capt. Albers
wonderful performing troupe of 12
polar bears will go through their
marvelous performance, Capt.
Tiebors seals, probably the most
wonderfully trained of these ani
mals in the world, will be seen.
Lockhart’s elephants, the herd of
performing pachyderms who has
each year astonished the world
with their tricks will appear. The
funny clowns will be there, 50 of
them, in fact the entire program
that goes to make up the greatest
show in the world will stretch be
fore you on the screen in life-like
pictures.

As the railroads prosper we all
prosper. The railroad stands for
peace, plenty, prosperity, work, ed
ucation, civilization, enlightment.
Always and foreve’’, when railroads !
are prosperous th^y are building
depots, warehouses, hotels, bridges
and extending their lines.
The schoolhouse and the railroad
go hand in hand.
When the railroads are buying
equipment we all thrive.
When the box cars, empty, line
the sidings, and the engines are
dead and the incense of commerce
no longer rises from the shops,
then the railroads conserve, hold
back and hedge. Soon interest de

Highest Dam in the World.
Storage of water has already be
gun at Arrowrock Dam, the high
est dam in the world. The big ba
sin is rapidly nearing completion,
and will be formerly completed
next January. It was undertaken
in connection with the Boise, Ida
ho, reclamation project which will
reclaim 243,000 acres of fertile
land, at a total investment of $14,
000,000. The dam is 350 feet
high. 1,075 feet long on top and
contains 530,000 cubic yards of
masonry. The cost of the dam
will exceed $5,000,000.
The enormous undertaking can
be more clearly appreciated when
it is explained that the reclaimed
area is nearly three times as large
as the present acreage in crops in
the state of Rhode Island.

To Bore fjr Oil in Union Pari.h.
A little interest was lent to the
oil business at Farrnerville last
week, when M. W. Friedell, an oil
man for the Columbia Oil Go., vis
ited the town and offered the
citizens to bore five wells within
sixty days, if the citizens would
take $5,000 worth of stock in his
company and also assist in secur
ing additional leases, etc. His:
written proposition was left at the
local bank, and he will return in
the next two weeks for an answer.!
Up to this time nothing definite has
been done, but some few are will
ing to take stock, and it is expect- •
ed that some steps toward boring
will be taken in the next few
months by this comDany or others,
which are now also making an ex
amination of the fieid.

flog cholera, one of the most dan
gerous and infectious diseases, and
which usually spreads to all the herds I
in the neighborhood when once it has
appeared, always starts from a sick
herd or previous infection in the pens,
but never spontaneously in the herd
or without the animal having once
in contact with the living organisms
that cause the disease.
The disease is scattered over the
community in various ways. The re
moval of infected hogs from one farm

to another is probably the surest way
of carrying the disease. However, i
when hogs that die of cholera are al
lowed to lie in the open and decay,
birds, dogs or any animal that comes
in contact with them can very easily
carry the disease to the surrounding
country.
Crows and birds that carry the in
fection on their feet can easily visit
dozens of feeding lots in a day, thus
Infecting the healthy herds. Dogs
quite frequently carry the infection In
running through different pens. By
merely walking through infected p.-ns
or handling infected hogs, may may
spread the disease to herds that have
not been infected before.
Sometimes the farmer fs at loss to
know how liis hogs became infected
.when all tho hogs in the immediate
vicinity are healthy. This can usually
be explained by one of the factors pre
viously mentioned, namely, that it lias
been carried from infected pens many
tulles away ty birds, dogs, men and
other agencies. (’. L. McArthur.

While Harris was still quite young
his family moved to a farm in north
western Missouri, but Harris did not
feel that life as a farmer was the
work cut out for him, and in order to
satisfy his ambition he left home and
migrated to Kansas. He worked hard
and during his spare moments studied
law.
After practicing law in Kansas for
several years Harris moved to Okia

success-fill in Oklahoma and quickly
became one of the leading attorneys
in tbe state. In 1906 he became gen
eral attorney of the Pioneer Tele
phone company of Oklahoma. In 1909
he was appointed by the Governor as
a member of the committee desig
nated to revise the Oklahoma code of
laws. This work was finished in 1910, |
and the volumes containing the re- j
codification were known as the “Har
ris and Hay Code of Oklahoma."
Harris’ reputation as a lawyer
scarcely overshadows his standing as
a sportsman. Fond of fishing and
hunting and kindred sports, he has
thrown himself into those things
which stand for recreation with the
same enthusiasm which has charac

several years he has been president
of the Oklahoma State Sportsmen's
association and the Oklahoma Game

and has assisted in drafting many of
the game and fish protection laws.
Judge Harris never forgets his na
tive town and state. Very frequently
in his speeches he fondly refers to the
place of his birth.
STORMS CAUSE HEAVY LOSS I
Telephone Lines First to Suffer From
Bad Weather and First to
Regain Efficiency.
Tattle Hock That sleet and wind
storms cost the telephone companies
millions of dollars every year was
stated recently by S. A. Lane, division
commercial superintendent of the
Southwestern Telegraph and Tele
phone company in Little Rock. Ac
cording to Lane, the amount of dam
age done by even a slight storm is
surprising. Repair work following a
fifteen-minute electrical storm often
costs several hundred dollars.
A windstorm struck lola. Kan., re
contly and blew down whole sections
of telephone lines. Several of the
poles were broken off and "stood on
their heads.”
A pole line a' Texarkana, carrying
the Texas long-distance lines, was re
cently demolished during a storm.
Superintendent Lane estimated that
in the United States last year t.he tele
phone companies spent eight million
dollars to repair damages done to the
telephone lines by storms and floods
The last hie storm in Kansas cost the
telephone company over $J50,000 for
reconstruction work. *
Origin of the Argentine Flag.
Mr. Fraser, in telling of the origin of
the Argentine flag says: “The ein
i phatie patriotism of the American Is
tepid alongside the hot-blooded nation
ality of Argentine, it is daiiy Incul
cated in the schools; the blue-and
white striped flag is honored on every
occasion. When the Argentines were
n revolution against Spain in 1810,
ind needed a banner to flaunt against
the red and orange of the enemy, they
got pieces of blue and white cloth tin
ended for garments) from an English
•varship lying at Montevideo, and made
a flag of it. So the Argentine flag,
like much of Argentine prosperity, is
lue to Great Britain.” Mr. Fraser
holds that, in proportion to the popu
'ation, there are as many millionaires
n Argentina as in the United States.

Keeping Up With Uncle Sara
IN the last thirty-seven years of national progress, the
Bell Telephone has pliayed an important part.
Out of the public’s demand for universal service has grown the
Bell system, covering the entire country with one great inter
communicating system.
Today there are more than «9,000,000 telephones connected by
21,000.000 miles of wire in the Bell system, and every day the
service is extended to meH the«ever increasing needs of the people.
