Cher rians who are acting as per formers and showmen should be congratulated for the man ner in which they jump into the hard task of entertaining with a smile. More than 1500 persons paid admission at the second exhibition at the armory Last night and as the real quality of the shows become known it is expected that at least 2000 patrons will throng the carnival tonight at the last showing. A smile greets the visitor at every step of the jaunt through the sawdust area. The smiling is not a one-sided mat ter, however, for one would have to qualify as a 100 per cent grouch to resist the mirthful efforts of the Cher rians and their aids. The Cherringo is genuine fun and pure fun at that. Special Auction Sale Special attractions have been prepared at the Auction Sale. These articles with values as noted, will be offered to the high est bidders tonight: Indian robe, $10;' electric iron.

Exhibits Are Frmteed An advance man with the Barnes circus attended the Cher ringo last night and had a good word to say for the armory car nival, proceeds from which will be added to the Salem Hospital building fund. "Your beauty show is one of the best laughs I have had in months," said the circus man "Another good bet is the fat girl If that young fellow (Karl Hinges) who spells for the freak show, is looking for a Job, he could land with the Old Man, all right." To return to the Beauty Show, The Statesman has received many inquiries as to the identity of the girls who smile for the crowds. But this must remain a secret for one more day. Cherrian uniforms are con spicuous throughout the even ing's performance. ,In fact, many of the show's best; patrons are men who are also giving their time to the enterprise. Kopek Market Strong The kopeck bank did a flour ishing business last night when newcomers learned that their donations will aid the hospital fund. The kopeks issued In re turn for the donations are good for admission to shows and in exchange for articles donated to the hospital by Salem merchants.
