Buf falo Bill Wild West Champion Shows of the World for a one day's engage ment In this city on September 28. From nowhere it will appear to come. The tents will go magically into the air, It will seem that the great mushroom growth of the show. "Just happened." But It didn't. You don't realize it, but for months men have been working that the Sells-Floto circus might como to this city. And wheu it arrives. It will mean that the efforts of more than. 10o men, who have gone beforo it, have been successful. Tho first man to start In advance of a circus, is tho first contracting agent. His task Is to prepare the way for the coming of the others. Then there starts, three weeks before the circus, the No. 1 advertising car, carrying twenty-five bill-posters, lithographers, banner tackers and others. Then the No. 2 car with 25 more men. Another wait and still another car loaded with bill-posters and programmers. And should this not be enough, there is a brigade of eight or ten men, who are supposed to work as hard and do as much as the 70 or SO men on the threo cars. And sowhen the champion shows of the world come here, there will be nothing of the "happen so" about its arrival.- For a hundred men have gone before It to see that not a detail is neglected, oven to the routing of the parade and the bumps In the road that lead from the railroad track to the grounds. But the work of a cir cus does not show on the surface and it shouldn't. For if- there is anythong that should display its ro mantic side, it is that place of glar ing chandeliers and the sprinkled wood shavings the circus. Last Wednesday aftornoon large number of enthusiastic ladies gather ed at St. Mary's Academy to spend the afternoon sowing under tho able direction of Mrs. James Murphy. This was the first of the weekly meetings to bo hold in preparation for the St. Mary's Aoadomy fair to be held No vember 13th to 18th. Judging by the amount of work done at this first meeting, assurance Money Is needed to carry on the campaign for the re-election of Wood row Wilson as president. The great financial lntorests of the land aro fi nancing and supporting Charles E. Hughes' campaign and It Is up to the people to aid In the election of tho president, who has espoused thoir cnuse. As Jefferson fought tho aristoc racy of his day, and Jackson tho plu tocracy of his time and Lincoln tho can be given all those desirous of Ulavo holding aristocracy of his, so is E DEVELOPING TEAM Twenty-three men were on tho field at the Jackson school Monday afternoon when coach Klum put his football squad through their first scrimmage. Previous to the scrim mage the men were drilled in long tackling sessions, all showing up well and displayed tho essential qualifi cations of getting 'cm around the shoestrings. Both sides predict vic tory in the coining high school-alum nl battle next Saturday afternoon yet judging by the showing mado last night, the grads are going to have the battle of their lives to hold the! own. Clem Hall has been selected to referee the game. The backficld squad has already been picked for the high school Those showing up for those positions are Calhoun, Brandon, Young, Co rum, Watson and Collins. Al Mitchell, a recruit from Jack sonville, Is making a good showing at end practice, oven though it is his first footftall experience. Young Rawllngs is another of the youngsters who bids fair to make a name for himself. Roy. Hill, sub on last year's team is again in a suit. Hi1 will undoubtedly make a good man, but has not as yet found his particu lar nitch in the organization. He has more beef than last year and also more speed. securing useful and beautiful Christ inas presents, that they will have no difficulty 111 procuring them at St. Mary's Academy fair. This fair was proposed last Febru ary during a reunion of former pu pils of St. Mary's Jacksonville and Medford, which commemorated the Oth anniversary of the coming of the Sisters of the Holy Names to Jacksonville. Those loyal students. knowing tho heavy expense Incurred by tho erection of the present Acad emy at Medford, rallied to the aid of their alma mater, and their fidelity proven on this, as on other occa sions, by the generous interest they aro taking in their work for tho fair. Tho student committee appointed to take charge are Miss Alice Hanlcy, Miss Cnthcrino McAndrews, Mrs. James Pclton, Mrs. MIlos Cantral, Mrs. Louis Ulrich and Mrs. Ernest McKec. No sooner had St. Mary's loyal re lief corps made known their plans to assist- tho academy when many friends of the institute offered assis tance, which was gratefully accepted. In consequence, Mrs. O. J. Patton, Miss Anna Kiliehor, and Mrs. Charles L. Schleffilin were made members of the fair committee and are proving valuable aids in promoting the sue cess of the enterprise. The younger students of St. Mary's are also devoted workers. They havo their weekly sowing bees and make many articles which provo their skill and originality.
