Ringling Brothers' Circus Opens in Chicago April 11th.

A reliable messenger of spring is the announcement that on Saturday, April 11, Ringling Bros.’ big circus will begin its annual Chicago engagement at the Coliseum. It is said that the past winter’s preparations have been most productive of novelties and innovations. Already a large force of carpenters and mechanics are at work in the big Wabash avenue structure making ready to house the 'mamn?bth 89-car circus which is soon to leave its wirrter quarters at Baraboo, Wis. {Stage help, electricians and scenic artists are giving the finishing touches to the train load of scenery which is to be used in the colossal spectacle of "“Sokrtnon and the Queen of Sheiba”, which willjprecede the regular circus program. Rehearsals for the ballet of 300 dancing girls are under way. Costumers are busily engaged in fitting and refitting the tons of costumes required for the cast that includes 1,250 people, 735 horses and 32 camels.

The arenic program this year is to be exceedingly brilliant. The menagerie contains 1,003 wild animals, 41 elephants, 5 giraffes and a “baby zoo.” A half hundred clowns and harlequins will introduce satires on current events, 20 families of aerielists will perform miraculous stunts in midair and the ridng acts are the best ever assembled in the history of circuses. Two performances will be ■ given daily during a short season.

FACT.

Local Evidence. . Evidence that can be verified. Fact is what we want. Opinion enough. Opinions differ. Here’s a Rensselaer fact. You can test it. Mrs. Aaron Hickman, N. Front St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine on the market. I have taken them at dif-_ ferent times when suffering from attacks of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I ihave always had prompt relief. Over three; years ago I first used them and they proved so satlstactory that I have had no desire to change to any other remedy. I was so well pleased with the benefit I received from my first trial of Doan’s Kidney Pills that I gave a statement for publication recommending them. Since then when I have heard anyone complain of kidney trouble or backache, I have suggested that Doan’s Kidney Pills be procured at Fendig’s Drug Stpre and given a trial. Different ones of my family have taken this remedy and like myself 'have been greatly benefited.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

DR. HURTY DESCRIBES AN UNHEALTHY HOME

Tells of Farm Residence That Was An Inehbator for Typhoid— The Cost of Sickness. Dr. J. N. Hurty, state health commissioner, who is fighting disease as an employe of the state, believes that aside from the pain and loss of life there is a big economic loss when a family is swept by disease. He emphasizes-his' belief, that the farmer or banker who watches carefully bver the health of his hogs or the prosperity of his neighborhood should for the same pecuniary reason insist on precautions against diseases in the human family. He gives the following example of financial loss from sickness: Smith ((nd Family. (By Dr. J. N. Hurty.) His name was Smith. He lived in Indiana. He was a farmer. His house was built flat upon the ground. •No underneath ventilation. There was a small cellar. It was musty. Vegetables, rotten and unrotten, were stored in it. The house was heated by an “air-tight” stove. All windows were fastened down. AH window cracks were calked with rags. The barn was 328 feet from the kitchen door. There was a big pile of manure against the barn. There were maggots in the manure. Flies, thousands of flies, were born in the manure. In the barnyard were cows and pigs. They waded in barnyard pulp. Just 53 feet from the kitchen door was a privy. It was dilapidated. Clouds of flies surrounded it. Under the back porch was a dug well. Smith didn’t know its depth. An old sock was stretched over the pump spout. It was there to strain out worms and little water bugs. The water had a funny taste. A garbage tub stood just outside the kitchen door. There were maggots in it. Flies were born by the thousands. One day Smith’s daughter came down with typhoid fever. A doctor was employed. (Medicines were purchased. Mrs. Smith did the nursing. She also cooked for her husband, her son and a hired man. Mrs. Smith was worn out. She took typhoid. The daughter died. Mrs. Smith died. The son took typhoid. He survived. When Mrs. Smith took down a nursa was employed. She stayed after Mrs. Smith died to nurse the son. The cost. Doctor bills $4lO. Nurse $l4O. Medicines $23.60. Two funerals $416. Court vallue of the mother’s life (average court judgment) $4,600. Court value of the daughter’s life, $5,000. Loss of time (estimated) S3OO. Total $10,889.60. Does it pay to be insanitary? Does induced sickness and early death tend to produce health and happiness?

HOW TO SCORE TESTS

Muscatine Introduces a Point System in Awarding Prizes to Schools Which Help in County • Seed Survey. _.._U ■ I 1 [National Crop Improvement Service.] ‘ K. A. Kirkpatrick, county agent for Muscatine county, lowa, working in connection with the Muscatine NewsTribune, is planning a complete survey of the seed condition of the county. Tests will be made in all of the schools of the seeds to be planted this spring, and the prizes will be awarded according to the number of points won by each school. Additional points may be won by the school by testing a whole bushel of corn by each pupil, one hundred points to the bushel. If the pupil tests each ear to be sowed on the farm, in addition to his one hundred points for the bushel, he will earn another onei hundred etxra points for a complete test. Npt less than five bushels are to be tested for the extra one hundred points. In testing small grain five one hundred kernel tests taken from different places in the bin or the entire lot are to be used in the test, not less than five bushels in the lot, will add one hundred points to the individual score. The teacher, or some pupil designated by the teacher, shall keep record in each school and make the reports on the proper blanks to the County Crop Improvement Association office in the court house at Muscatine. The Government furnishes franked envelopes for sending in these reports. The testing work may be dene at the homes of the pupils, but they must count the tests, figure the percentage of germination, and report the tests the same as though done at school. The county superintendent will commend the professional spirit of any teacher who takes up this work in her school and shows that she earnestly tries to get results. The prizes will be awarded at the graduating exercises in June. The prizes have not yet been announced, but it is suggested that the women’s clubs of the county not only select them, but provide for them in some way as part of their club work. Good pictures'of historical or classical subjects are always appropriate for school prizes, suitably inscribed with the name of the class which wins them.

If you have any organization in your community, use that organization for the good of the community. Link it up with your community life and devote its work to the solution of your community problems, whatever they may be. Grasp the idea that the individual interests are always secondary to the community interests. Community interests can only be served by avoiding those things upon which individuals may rightfully differ. By all means, have some sort of rural organization in your community, but base its elstence on service. Service, in turn, means effort on the part of every individual fanner. —The Farmer.

THE BUCKET SHOP

The Difference Between a Faro Bank and a National Bank. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Most people get their misinformation about the grain business through their experiences in a bucket shop. There is a smaller number of bucket shops every year, although in some states there are still a few. They have no connection with any established grain evchange. The New York Press says: “The bucket-shop keeper likes to open his office when the market high and when the public thinks,ft is going higher. The bucket-shop-ping public Is always hvLisb. It goes in on three-point margins and the bucket-shop relies on the flurries to shake the customer out. Sometimes the flurries do not happen and the market soars beyond tne limits of the bucketer's bank roll. His course is easy. He just busts. In one town in this state the same bucket-shop man went broke five times in seven years, skinning his customers each time; but every tjme he reopened they all went back to him. That is the beauty of the bucket-ship game; it attracts the mildest-mannered school of suckers in all the gambling ocean.”

The Good Farmer’s Creed.

I believe in a permanent agriculture, a soil that shall grow richer rather than poorer from year to year. I believe in 100-bushel corn and &0bvshel wheat and I shall not be satisfied with anything less. I believe that the only good weed is a dead weed, and that a clean farm is as important as a clean conscience. I believe in the farm boy and the farm girl, the farmer’s best crops and the future’s best. hope. I believe in the farm woman, and will do all in my power to make her life easier and happier. I believe in a country school that for country life,, and a country church that teaches its people to love deeply and live honorably. I believe in community spirit, a pride In home and neighbors, and I ▼/Hl do my part to make my community the best in the state. I believe In the farmer, I believe in farm life, I believe in the inspiration of the open country. I am proud to be a farmer, and I will try earnestly to be worthy of the name.—O. P. Drake, Agent, Cowlej County, Kansas.

Return From a Pleasant Winter Sojourn in Alabama.

Sylvester Hatton and daughter and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Witham and daughter arrived home Tuesday from a stay of three months in Alabama,-where they had a very enjoyable winter and where Mr. Hatton’s health continued good throughout the time they were there. They stopped at Fair Hope, a town of only 300 people, where they procured a furnished house of seven rooms. The weather was fine and Mr. Witham indulged considerably in the pasttime of the village, croquet playing, although he does not claim to be among the experts of the game. He relates that four of the best players, two on a side, started a game one morning at'9 o’clock, played until noon, left the balls and mallets and went to dinner and returned at 1 o’clovk and played until 3 before their first game was completed. This recalls the old days when a croquet ground in the court house yard in Rensselaer occupied the attention of many of our business and professional men and court house officials. Th epartici pan ts in the gam e in the south are mostly northern people who have nothing to do but while away the time. Mr? Hatton and members of his family have made their winter home in Alabama for several years.

Value of Rheuma _ Fromthe Court Judge Barhorst Was Relieved of Rheumatism After Doctors Failed. If you have tried many other remedies and doctors’ treatments lor Rheumatism and found they failed, do not be skeptical about trying RHEUMA. Bead the testimony of Judge John Barhorst of Fort Lo ramie, O.: "After treatment by three doctors without result, I have been cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by using two bottles of RHEUMA. It is now two years since I used the remedy, and I am still as well as ever. Previously I was a cripple, walking with crutches.” Such testimony should be convincing. 50 cents of B. F.
