D D j ness extended to him, as well as other American boys in the same honpilal." The most entertaining feature in an otherwise perfect and most praisewor thy circus program is the continuous excellent melody throughout the en tire performance of the Al. G. Barnes ( ircus exhibiting in The Dalles May 30. A 30 piece band, under the direc torship of Edward A. Woeckener, a musician of note, at every exhibition, the finest selections are played in the hour preceding the big show, while the patrons are visiting the animal tents and being seated. This famous coterie of fine musicians is in a great measure responsible for the perfect performing of each group of animals, as it has been learned that animals are highly influenced by music and at once fall into the spirit of the melodies played. When dainty Cleo Weber dances in the den of lions the kittenishness of these great monsters are quite astounding as they sway on their pedestals to the strain of "La Paloma" as the fair dancer flits about them like a fairy, flirting her beribboned tambourine at the beasts, who try to fasten their monster paws in the ribbons. All through the program of 103 acts the Woeckener band plays the most ex quisite and harmonious melodies, pleasing the most fastidious musician, who will at once grasp the essential element the music is to the animal actors. Many Fords Are Sold Harry T. DeWitt, of the DeWitt Motor Co., reports the sale of 16 Ford automobiles to Hood River men and women recently.
