The circus, like the baseball game, is an American institution, and is dear to the heart of every American, be they boy, girl, man or woman, and as an American recreation receives the hearty response of every true American. The Barnes Circus is an original and genuine wild animal cir cus, two trains of double length cars are required to transport this mam moth educational institution. Over 1000 wild and domestic animals and 150 of the 500 people the Barnes Cir cus carries, makes up a program of 65 feature acts.

The local advertising, bills, black smith supplies, auto supplies, miscel laneous supplies, hotel accommoda tions for the advance department of which there is all told about 125 per sons, and railroad expenses, all run into a grand total.

Juno 12. f Snecinn The railroads of the country are asking that hey he allowed an in crease of 15 per cent in freight rates to enable them to meet increased cost of operation. The price of every com modity that the railroads use has ad vanced from 15 to over 200 per cent, but the cost of transportation re mains the same. The shippers of the country need adeauate railroad facilities fAr than they need low rates at the cost oi oaa ana menicient service, and it is but just and fair to the nennle whose savings are invested in our transportation systems that the re turn on their investments shall be protected. Railroad rates are fixed by the In terstate and State Commissions, and the increases to which the carriers are entitled ouirht in fairness to h nl. lowed. The carriers assert that if the increase is granted the money de rived will not fnllv moot rtio 4n creased costs and any deficit will have to be absorbed by them in part at the expense of the stockholders and by the curtailment, of Eorvipo nnA striction of betterments, improve ments ana extension of lines. If the eouitv of these olnima in oa tablished bv t,h pnrriorq frlion V.o Commissions should not hesitate in dealing with the situation .broadly and liberally, without fear, with the as surance that a fair minded public will endorse their action. The railroads are important factors in the development of the country. Their request that they be given the recognition due to a legitimate busi ness undertaking whirh to mmoJ by increased cost of unkeon AvuiiHciisuiavt; luturn is so una. In other words, the railroads ask the neoDle to bear in mind tVio mif. standing fact that adequate freight rates are necessary to adequate rail way service. The people of Marshfield, North Bend and the banks of Coos county made the occasion most eninvahle for those in attendance. This section of the state is growing rapidly since they obtained railroad facilities and. the outlook there is' bright. UNION STOCK SHOW. (Continued from Page One.) gaits.

(Special) "Ray-vay-yay mwah kong ler dee-nay ser-ah pray," is the proper way to tell a Frenchman to wake you up when dinner is ready, according to a little "French in one lesson" that has been distributed among thn United States Marines who are going to France. ' Every sea-soldier on the firing line will be supplied with a handy little pocket dictionary that contains about a thousand practical words and phrases, together with the phoneticnl pronounciation, according to Hanni bal, Charlemagne, or whoever it was that, originated the French language. 'It is is just the size to fit handily into the breast-pocket of a uniform. Doubtless tho little poilu will lend a hand to his American comrade when he comes to a particularly knotty problem. Should the sea-soldier be come peeved at the intricacies of the language, he may say, "Ock-po-pay" just like that. It means "busy." BUTTER WRAPPERS for sale at 4 (The Observer Office.
