FIVE Two Score of ElephantsWith theBarnum & Bailey Circus llli! ySw ililll No animal is so intimately and af fectionately associated with the circus as the elephant and probably none is more sagacious. With the Bnrnum & Itailey circus which comes hero Satur day, September 9, ore over two score of the ponderous creatures all in charge of Harry J. Mooncy, tho famous Aus tralian animal trainer. To the uninitiated the huge slate colored beasts look' the same. But Mooney says that there are no two alike. Klephants arc useful as well as orna mental in the menagerie world. If ever a heavy wagon gets caught in a quagmire and the horses fail to pull it along, the only thing necessary is to bring along an elephant. "Just push, don't shove," runs the coon song. That is what the elephant does, and the wagon bowls along as if a small-sized cyclone had struck it. Strong elephants can easily push two loaded freight cars. . 'For years,"- Mr. Mooney said, in a recent interview, ''elephants have been the Eastern man's best friend. They liave been jacks of all trades, working in timber and lumber fields, taking part in big hunts" and forming the backbone of state and ceremonial processions. But now, aside from oc casional hunts, all they seem to be iiceded for is heavy hauling and pulling the ploughs in the agricultural dis tricts. In tho latter case, at least, it has been found that the elephant hasn't his peer, anil the native won't even exchange for liim the modern machinery. Why might not the same prove true on- this continent! Think of the great wheat fields in the West and in Canada that the giant beasts might help to till! 'The worth of the elephant has never been fully appreciated by the average American, nor even those who delve into natural history. Porhups that accounts for tho fact that his only value here seems to be' for show pur poses in circuses or zoological gardens." To tho circus visitor the menagerie means strange animals and thrills, popcorn and peanuts. To the circus company it mean3 something like $750, 000. This figuro, however, is by no means arbitrary, for tho value of wild beasts fluctuates remarkably. Today tho value of a rhinoceros may be $10, 000 but let a few more rhinos be hauled from their African lairs and be put on the European market and the value per animal may drop 50 per cent. Another thing that affects tho valu ation of wild animals is the question as to whether they are acclimated or "green." The mortality rate among the latter animals fresh from the jun glo is exceedingly high. Tho wild animal that has demonstrated the fact that it can live in a cage, particularly a cage that hops, Bkips and jumps over the country with a circus, has more than tripled its value. The Barnuin and Bailey zoo includes four giraffes, rarest of captives wild ' animals. Giraffes were first brought 'in Amprw-a frnni ftnntti Arinu iri 1 tf.'tll by ("apt. Clayton for the circus of Welch, Macumber & Weeks, of which he was manager and afterward part owner. They did not long survive con finement. Only two municipal zoos in this country now own giraffes. The circus beasts have especially fitted quarters, are served individual food and are never left alone, as two keep ers and a veterinary have them con stantly in charge. A chimpanzee straight from Africa is worth $300 to $1,000. Let this same champanzee prove by his continued ex istence that cage life is not mortally tedious to him and immediately his value leaps to $2,500. TRAIN SAFE RESISTS BANDITS EFFORTS Held Up Crew and Captured Safe But Could Not Blow It Open Douglas, Ariz., Sept. 7. A second posse left here at daybreak today to reinforce the posse of Sheriff Wheeler, now believed chasing six bandits who held up tho Golden State Limited on the Rock Island road near Apache, shortly before midnight. A switch engine and three automo biles were used to rush 20 men under Vt heeler to the scene. Word was re ceived early today that Sheriff AVheeler, a former captain of rangers, is now pressing the robbers closely. iraiumcn who faced the bandits' re volvers for nearly SO minutes while they vainly strove to shatter the ex press safe with nitro-glycerine, declared they believed the bandits amateurs. The posse under Sheriff Wheeler has been given an excellent description of the bandits and is supplied with food and water for several days' pursuit. it ib Deiievea the robbers tied up an arroyo o mountains 20 miles east, where the forbidding nature of the country would make pursuit very difficult. The .fact that the robbers used six charges of nitro-glycerine on the safe without results seemed to confirm the belief that the cracksmen were ama teurs. Two men boarded the limited near Apache station and forced the train crew to cut off the engine and three leading cars, the express car and two Hnail coaches from the passenger sec tion, men me robbers ordered the en gineer to puil down the track three miles to a point near a bridge where four confederates waited. Tho train crew was forced to line ud within 2(1 feet of a camp fire. Two masked men with four revolvers covered them. Fnnr bandits then tumbled the steel safe from the express car and set to work with the first charge of nitro-glycerine. This attempt was a failure, as were five others. Finally, when several cracks men became nervous,- the crew was or dered into a mail car and bolted in. The bandits immediately fled eastward on cow ponies. c NEW HOME TREATMENT FOB BANISHING HAIRS sc $c jfc sfc sc )c sjc j)c sc sjc sjc sc ))c (Beauty Topics) With the aid of a delatoiie paste, it is an easy matter for any woman to re move every trace of hair or fuzz from face, neck and arms. Enough of tho powdered delatone and water is mixed into a thick paste and spread on the hairy surtacc for about 2 minutes, then rubbed off and tho skin washed.

The untimely rain of Saturday and Sunday caught ninny farmers unawares with the re Bult that a gnnd deal of the unthrrxlied grain was still in shock. One or two per sona were fortunate enough to have theirs stacked but the majority is still in the field. About half of the Ma cleay territory has been covered by the threshers. Two machines havo been in the district this year, the Darby and Lewis machine of Shaw and the Mar tin k Wright machine of Macleay, the latter has about a week 'a run yet be fore the season is over; this run being in the north and west section of Macleay. When last reported the Martin and Wright machine was at the V. fVfaultz farm. Kurl Bushnell, engineer of this machine, recently received notice that his bid on the construction of the bridge in Portland had been accepted, and departed at once for the metropo lis. O. L. Martin is acting in the ca pacity of engineer at present. I). P. Junk wai a visitor at his ranch in Macleay last week. Mrs. Jess Chambcrlin and children and Ben Chamberlin, of Mill City, were visitors at the 11. I.'. Martin borne last week. Jt is understood that Macleay is get ting quite musical as the following people have acquired musical instru- mentH lately. II. K. Martin, Kd Took cr and Fred Magee have pianos ami Mr. Robinson lias nn organ. Jt seems that thero are some Fords which do not have all tho attachments necessary for comfort and safety and this is the story of such a one. The at tachment lucking in this case was a pair of wiro cutters. While driving into the lane lending to the houso of uno of our pupular neighbors recently Fred .Schult.' car picked up a wiro which looped itself over the radiator cap. Before Fred could bring his machine to a stop, three posts were lifted bodily from tho ground, fence wire broken and the radiator cap pulled off. As it wits a Ford, this was all tho damage done. Mrs. F. T. Nash visited with rela tives in Salem last week. She re mained in the 'Herry City" for sev eral days. II. E, Martin and family accom panied by the F. K. Ooodells, motored to the Weeks Orchards, north of Hnlem, where they obtained some fine peaches. The trip was made Tuesday. The If. O. Taylor family and Miss Jean Uyers, who motored to Neckowin beach last week, returned homo Friday evening. F. T. Xash sawed wood Friday morning. He waa assisted by II. K. Martin and Everett Lewis.
