Coe. will he presented in the county of Jackson, Just outside tho city limits of Med ford, for six days and six nights, on highway 90, at the Pine Cone Inn. Messrs. Hildebrand and Coe feal proud of their organization this sea son. It s the largest and best show of their colorful career, the show has been entirely rebuilt In all de partments and enlarged. Some of the best folks of California who have seen the above show In operation along the line from southern Call rornla to the north, all agree, no matter what town the show may en ter, the folks And the surrounding environs have a real treat coming their way. It's said to be the show beautiful, brand new, gorgeous show fronts, new tented theaters and a myriad of rid ing devices. The Illuminated Midway with a million candlo power of Klrgs lights, a caravan of men, women and children, a seething mass of human ity, u a sight to behold In Itself. Mr. Hildebrand has expended many thousnnds of dollars so everyone that pays the show a visit will receive more than his money's- worth.

The four Skyrockets, another one of the big features.

Then coms the famous Hustrle troupe of five performing daredevils direct from the European triumphs, and the humin cannon-ball for the third shot 90 feet Into the air Into a net below, and last, but not least, don't fall to bring the family to see the live gorilla and tame chimpanzees, talking don keys and what have you. The grounds will be open nightly from e p. m. till closing. Not Mail; Jut Sure. BELOIT, Wis.

Fults said he learned from Sgt. George Woodward of the Salt Lake City police a man named D. C. Ben nett vanished after last being seen in the company of Mayer and Mrs. Smith at Price. Utah. Fultz said Woodward positively Identified Mayer oa tho man who accompanied Ben nett on an automobile ride after which be was never seen. Killed For Auto Although James Eugene g asset t did not go for an automobile ride with the mother and son, before his death, his demise, according to Mrs. Smith's confessions, occurred over an automo bile. He had come to sell his new ma chine to Mayer, as he was planning to leave for Manilla. "The boy needed money or a car to get a star In Ufo with.' Mrs. Smith wrote of her son. The letters, one w a man she said she planned to marry, named "Wheel er," and the other to a "clergyman," detailed how Basse tt was killed. He had been lured to the "little brown house" where Mayer stayed with his mother on the pretense they were to buy his automobile. Cleuns Up House She said she took no part In the actual slaying, but she boasted of the manner In which she cleaned up everything so thoroughly that, when officers searched the house soon af ter the crime, they could find no trace of tho slaying, "I was sitting on the couch, where I had a rod of Iron hidden In a quilt, In cose of a struggle," she said. Basset t was forced to write a tele gram, to his sister In Bremerton, Wash.,, and then was aiussed on the head with the hammer after Mrs Smith left the room. "X heard his body fall and went back Into the room. He was gurg ling. I stepped out again and Earl gave htm one more blow and It was all over ... He never allowed his vic tim! to suffer." Then, Mrs. Smith said, Bassett's body was removed to the bathtub, where Mayer dismembered it with a meat saw and a butcher knife. Son Worked Hard "The poor boy worked so hard,' she said. "To keep up hie strength I ms.de him an eggnog." The dismembered body waa put into j a galvanized Iron tub and hidden for the night In Mayer's bedroom. She said all the body except the head and hands were put Into four sacks which woro hidden separately under bushes In tho woods between Cathcnrt and Bothell, north of Seat tle. The head and hands, she said, were thrust Into a woodchuck hole In a different locality. She displayed pride in outwitting' law enforcement officers, whom she termed "smart alecs." "They made perfect fools of them-' selves." she wrote. "No wonder Earl and I sat back In tho old county Jail in Seattle and laughed." Son Silent Mayer, confronted In his cell yes terday with one of his mother'a let ters, showed no facial expressions and simply remarked, 'she's goofy." He said he would not confess to the slay ing "because there wosn't any." B.issott, 43, was a World war sec ond lieutenant In the army air corps Mayer was arrested in Oakland, Calif., with Massctt's car, and in ab sence of a body, was convicted of grand larceny uid sent to prison for life as an habitual criminal because of numerous previous convictions.

Iffi3w H EXPORT Congress Library Marble Treated With Great Care By Frank N, McNaugbton (United Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON (UP) People think they take good biggest diamond ring. The chances are ten to one they take less care of It than the library of congress takes with Its floors. People wash their rings In any soap, and bump them against metal ob jects. There Is no such "rough stuff' with the classically beautiful marble floors In -the library of congress. Those floors can not even be scrubbed with a mop. for fear of the metal palls chipping the edges of the marble slabs, according to W. C. Bond, superintendent of the building. Instead, a corps of char women each night goea over the shining marble with soft cloths, scrubbing the stone with painstak ing care. Not only that, but no soaps or washing powders touch the floor until they are thoroughly tested by the bureau of standards to deter mine that they contain no abrasives such as sand, which would scratch the finely polished surfaces. Before the bureau of standards was established, the library force used to take a piece of marble and soak It In a solution of soap to determine If the soap contained acids. "The acids might stain the mar ble." Bond explained. "The marble la priceless," he said. "I would not estimate what It would cost to replace It. For Instance, we have two mantelpieces. They cost about 3, 300 originally. But you can't get that kind of marble now. It has been said they are worth many thousands of dollars." Bond has Just one trouble he can't stop a person who has metal heelplates, and he lives In constant fear that the scraping of metal plates will chip the marble. But he has taken some precau tions. When a person carries a cane Into the library, he must check It. and the library gives him another which la shod with a rubber tip. If he carries In an umbrella, he must check that. No tap-tapping on the marble flags with metal. "The original cost of this marble Is no criterion of Its cost today," Bond explained. J'It would be Im possible to get the same depth and richness of color. I dont know if the beautiful carving could be dup licated. There la not much empha sis put on such work today. "The carving la gorgeous. It would be Irreplaceable. As for matching the marble, when we added the reading room we could not match the Sienna marble In the original room. It Just couldn't be found anywhere. The government, If this were destroyed, would never go Into such, richness and such ornamenta tion again."
