he is familiarly known among
the younger set, has lived here
for about three years and has a
host of friends who proclaim him
to be a dandy good fellow.
"Aunt Reda" has not lived here
so long, but with her winning
ways and ever ready smile, she
has attained a great popularity
among the young ladies of the
town.
May they live long and happily
together.

"Raisers of fancy poultry and
plain every day poultrymen are
getting more recruits every day"
said Nicely. "In this era of high
prices many families are putting
by a handsome nest egg monthly
from the proceeds of the back
yard. Increased income means
increased interest in the standard
i breeds. No one prefers scrubs to
pure bloods, but when prices are
| low naturally there is less incen-
tive to invest in good stock. The
demand at this time, however,
exceeds the supply in Oklahoma,
and there will be many birds at
the State Fair this fall that will
not be for sale."

Sleeping porches are more
common in the cities than in the
country, yet there are a large
proportion of farm houses where
the members of the family could
sleep in the open with almost no
cost or trouble. Many houses in
the country have already the
necessary porches, often on the
upper story. Such a porch can
be enclosed with netting, but this

THE CIRCUS DAY IS
DRAWING NEARER
NEXT TUESDAY WILL BE THE
DAY OF ALL DAYS FOR
THE YOUNGSTERS
BARNUM AND BAILEY AT OKLA-CITY
The day of all days in the calen-
dar of the small boy has almost
arrived and the youngsters of
this vicinity are anxiously count-
ing the hours until circus day.
It looks now as tho a large per-
centage of the local population,
both young gnd old, will be pres-
ent at one of the performances
when the Barnum & Bailey
Greatest Show on Earth exhibits
in Oklahoma City on August 15.
Not in several years lias so
much local interest been evinced
in a circus event as has been dis-
played this season in the coming
exhibition of the Barnum & Bai-
ley Circus. It is promised that
the show will display more new
and novel features than ever be-
fore, including 100 new acts from
Europe.
The principal feature is the new
Oriental, spectacular pageant,
"Persia, or the Pageants of The
Thousand and One Nights." This
great display, which is portrayed
by 1,350 persons, and hundred
enmehf,
depicts in pageantry the famous
tales of the Arabian Nights. In
New York City, where this page-
ant was produced for the first
time this spring, it was announc-
ed the most gorgeous and stupen-
dous Oriental display ever pres-
ented in America.
Among the foreign circus nov-
elties to be seen for the first time
this season are four troupes of
wonderful Chinese performers;
direct from Pekin, the Great Han-
neford family of riders; Signor
Bagonghi, famous dwarf eques-
trian from Italy; James Teddy,
champion jumper of the world;
Pallenberg's two troupes of
trained bears, and a host of other
novel acts too numerous to men-
tion individually.
The Barnum & Bailey circus is
traveling this season on five
trains, made up of 89 cars. More
than 1,400 persons are carried in
the various departments of this
! great show, which also includes
an enlarged menagerie of 108
cages and 41 elephants.
A brilliant, new, three mile
street parade will be given on
the streets during the morning
hours preceeding the first per-
formance.
