(Continued from Page Seventeen) PAUL'S UNITED SHOWS One of the most important matters coming before the committee on entertainment of the Hagerstown Show, was the selection of a real, honor bright, Carnival Aggregation, which could deliver the goods. There is a great difference in shows, also in show people, be it observed, and the best was what the committee went out after. Their quest led them to Cincinnati, finally, and resulted in a contract with Paul's United Shows, which will be on the ground and all set by Wednesday morning. The United Shows will occupy a lot of ground, largely on tbe various cross streets, which have been resurfaced and set in order for the great occasion. Visitors are promised an entertainment worth while. Arrangements have been made for brilliant lighting during carnival week. Grandstand Accommodations Seats ' for everybody. That's the cheerful slogan which will hearten the tired business man and others; for tho business man isn't the only one who tires from standing; there are the women and children, for instance, who want good seats to view the parades and processions. Well, the grandstand is neither cooped, cabined or confined to a small area. It ranges up and down both sides of the street, setting square against the curb, and will accommodate a whole lot of people and does not blockade the sidewalks or crossings. All horses entered for premiums must fall into line at noon on Wednesday and show their steps. On Thursday at about 12:30 there will be a Grand Parade of all the cattle and horses on the ground. There will be two bands on the ground on that day, the Richmond band and the talented aggregation from Indianapolis, known as the Newsboys' Band. Some music, what? Ask either of these bands to play your favorite melody; they'll do it if not too busy playing something else. We have said two bands will be "on the ground". Perish tho thought; they will be perched high on the bandstand In regal view of all admirers of colorful uniforms and brass bound music. Then, too, the show people will have a band to further enliven the hours. SHOW NOTES AND GOSSIP The fact that the Catalog contains 232 pages indicates that this show is to be really worth while. Get one. Twenty head of registered Percheron and Belgian horses will be sold on Saturday at auction. If you are fond of black cattle the display of registered Angus stock will interest you. You will have the chance to pick your choice of about 75 head at the sale on Saturday. The Boys' and Girls' Calf Clubs are to make a brave showing at Hagerstown and the sale of their stock will be one worth while feature of the Saturday program. Large tents are being set up on Intersecting streets as convenient as possible to the main thoroughfare and heart of the great show. The tents

are for the care of the livo stock, poultry, etc. Joe, Frank and R. R. Teetor, Emory Needier and B. Durbin are among thoae listed as "Supporters" of this Hagerstown enterprise, whose names were received too late to be inserted with those appearing on another page. For Heaven's sake, don't forget the dates, August 27th to 30th, inclusive. Nor don't forget to be present You really can't afford to miss this show. Hagerstown anticipates your presence with much pleasure.

Even Book Prices Rise Again For Fall Buying Books, both fiction and non-fiction, have made about a 25 percent increase ovej last year's prices, which gives the literary inclined person chance to complain about the high cost of reading. Fiction, and especially the kind of book that used to retail for 50 cents, has made the largest increase, as the same book sells now at 75 cents and one dollar. The better type of fiction which used to retail for $1.50, now sells at $1.75 and $2.00. The non-fiction books have not made as large an

increase for as a rule they sell for

considerably more money than fiction and are not very popular with ths general public. School books, when contracted for by the state, were bought on a five year contract and as a consequence, the manufacturer and jobbers declare that they are losing money, and when hteir contracts expire they immediately raise the price. There has not been much increase in school boks this fall, for this reason alone. Magazines which last fall used to cost ten, fifteen, twenty and twentyfive cents, retail this fall for fifteen, twenty, twenty-five and thirty cents, or a five cent increase on each maza-zine.

REFERENDUM ON GRANTING OF FRANCHISE TO BE DEMANDED

OXFORD, O., Aug. 23. The local Socialist organization is agitating the calling of a referendum on the action of the village council last Friday night In granting to the Ohio Gas and Electric company of Middletown, O., a twenty-five year franchise for furnishing light, heat and power to the inhabitants of the village. It is understood that a sufficient number of names has already been secured to call an election. The Socialists intended to make a similar move against the recent order of council authorizing the sale of the village light plant to the Middleotwn company, but they delayed longer than the thirty days provided by law.
