Tiie "hi? top" with its po rings and ?tasre. was. of couree, the main attraction, a'.thouri there were numerous side fchows and concessions. Trained dop?, monkeys, and ponies, an array of beautiful horses, we!! trained elephants, acrobats, trapeze artist, performers on the slack wire.

anil dancers presented a program that kept th' audience In a continued state of breathlesneps. Relief was offered by the .scotch of clowns who proved their ability as fun mikers early in the show and who lived up to the reputation they had established until their last appearance. Anions the performers who won special attention were the members of the Nelson family, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Nelson, six daughter, and an eisrht-year-old son, who perform acrobatic feats requiring great skill and endurance. Miss Irene Montgomery, ep'paestrienne, wild animal tamer, and aerialist, was well received, as were, the members of the Ward family, trapeze performers. Major, the elephant who can walk on hlsi hind leers, and the dancing horws proved especially popular, while he horse races caused much excitement. Mervage-ria Attracts. The mc-nagerle was not the least of tlie attractions, the crowds filling the tent to give the animals the "once over" long before the time for the main show. The elephants, from Hetty, a mere girl of 80, down to the youngest, a child of 18, wer lined up for Inspection, ready to eat the peanuts which they were fed in .rcat quantities. The Hons roared obligingly at intervals. and the mammoth hippopotamus "hippoed" for all he was worth. The monkeys and camels, cockatoos, kp.ngarooa, timers, and bears all came in for their share of Inspection and were voted nil right by the numbers who saw them.

V Ith the last strains of the band 1 ate Monday evening, the first circus d iy of the season in South Bervl came to an end, but the memories of John Robinson's will live Ions in the memories of the many South Benders who are never too younp, and who will never grow to old to enjoy its glittering wonders.

that the city had approved of the consolidation of the South Rend

the receivers of the Central Union Co. was made that the utility might obtain a strong valuation and heavy depreciation on an obsolete system, merged in the Reil system with the unification, that such charges would retnilt In an increase In rates to Jus

tify a return on an inefficient system. "If you don't think this system is Inefficient. Just try it," the mayor challenged. "Just try to call a number over the Lincoln exchange from the Reil, and vice versa." the mayor flaunted in the faces of the array ot experts present at the Tiearing. Free From Atcspomibility. "When the commission comes to consider this angle of tle c.vp," the mayor commented, "it would do well if liberal use of the pencil were made on this obsolete system in marking out valuation, or at least place the smallest valuation on a .. . . 4. lrnf.

spcnbility for thi3 consolidation can not be placed on the cities of Mishawaka and South Dend. The mayor then explained how the merger of the two competing systems came about In 191". "At that time the business men were well satisfied with conditions, for under a competing n-stem. the rates were nominal and the business man had two telephones on his desk. In that year, the South Dend or Home people came to ua and told us that they were insolvent and that a receivership was inevitable. "We were told that a unification of the two systems would result in a great s-avinges, the sam old story as we are told now that an Uiasease of rates will bring about better service. and better conditions. The city permitted the merger to take place, and the hearing before the commission, the city's side of the case took but five minutes. Solicited Clause. "The independent telephones were strong: In the northern field, and they complained to the commission that the South Rend consolidation would prevent them from entering the South Rend field. It -was at their solicitation that the clause was written into the commission's order that the two systems be kept operating. That is thej-eason why we have the two exchanges today, the most inefficient thing you ever conceived of." Although the mayor did not speci

fically state, the crux of the utility's petition for rate increase seems to lio In the question of valuation, depreciation, and what constituted a fair return on investment. Valuation determines investment, and it was for the purpose of preventing the telephone company from placing

interviews with A. R.

relating to expansion and demand for new homes. "The Reil company not only desires to keep even with the commercial development of the city but also to be able to give service to everyone, who desires it. Under the present rates that can not be done." Commenting upon proposed con struction work in the city, he aid: The value of construction work novr in progress amounts to $105.00-0. the amount proposed and approved totals $62.000: while the estimate for 19221923 is $218.000; 1324. 121.0-00, 1325, $100.000 and 1926.

City Attorney Ringham ot Mishawaka told the commission that it was his belief that any basis of increase in rates should not be upon newspaper stories of development proposed but upon actualities, substantiated by evidence.

The four night addressee?, or school, is conducted by Mr. Chamberlain to the dealers and their employes and members of their organizations.

NEW YORK. June 5. Stocks on the New York .stock exchange had to contend today with advers meatters in the form of an increase in brokerage loans to the highest level since October. 1919. and the threatened federal intervention in the pending steel mergers. Thtse developments were made public at a time when the general Isit was moving irregularly under the influence of heavy realizing and professionals seized the opportunity to offer prices down, but hte maneuver met with little success in causing real liquidation. 7 Mont of the active issues displayed a total lack of pressure around the lower levels and in the latter dealings the whole market showed an improved tone under the impulse of a rise in Steel Common to a new high lor the year. Dusines tendencies continued favorable. Oil stocks, especially in the low-priced group were ni great demand as a result of the 25 cent advance in the price of Pennsylvania Crude, while automobil Issues were helped by indications that in the current quarter many motor companies will report earnings at an annual rate equal to or exceeding any period here-

CHICAGO. June Wheat underwent material setback in price Monday largely as a result of idtal weather to promote the harvest in the southwest. The closing was unsettled but 1 1-4 to 2 J-isc net lowt-r with July 11.1 1-2 to 113 5-S and September 11J Ö-S to 113 3-4. Corn lost 1-8 to 5-S; oats finirhed 1 1-2 off to l-2c up and provision, at pains of 1 1-2 to 1 7c. Sentiment in the wheat trade wa

decidedly bearish to start, with but ohinrrnl toiv fitr n 'j i 1 t Vi 01 1 -

mgs. italiies. however, appeared tos,ü::

be due chiefl to profit taking on the part of shorts. Aside from flattering crop reports, especially from Kan.-as, the trade here was looking for lower quotation from Rierpool tomorrow after the holiday interim. An increase of the domestic vi.sible supply total counted also as a depressing factor. Crop reports from the soft wheat states were extremely optimistic.

and increased yi.Ids in this section were expected to outweigh any deficiency in the west end rf the hari winter belt. There w-ie deliveries of 130.000 bushed of wheat here today on June contracts. Hard winter wheat though told at two cent-? over July late in the day, recovering from an early decline. Corn and oat reflected the wenk-

! ness or wheat and oats touched the

lowest prices jet this season. High, er quotations on hr sr led to an upturn in the provision nnrket. although for a while more than offset by the bearish course of grain value?.
