The hail weather conditions in the forenoon dou lit less reduced the attendance and probably more kites would have been entered if it had not have been for the rain. When it came time for flying kites, the wind wag just right and some very good exhibitions were made. There were all kinds of kites big kites, little dainty kites ami 'fancy kites. Homo of them would fly . hut more of tnem would not. Taking everything in considera tion, the event was a very successful one nnd was well worth seeing.

The prize was a pair of Winslow roller skates given by the hnlem Hardware company. The second prize was given to Eugene Barnes who had an excellent kite beau tifully decorated and well made. J he prize was a Swiss music box given by (ieo. C. Will. The third prize was awarded to llcrmojenes Carbonel on a fancy kite that made a good record in flying. The prize wag a large box of cuudy given by Frank S. Ward. The judges were Jos. Albert, J. O. Hall and A. M.

TOLEDO This Overland is the world's most powerful low-priced car. It has a 31V horsepower en bloc motor that is a perfect marvel for speed, power and endurance. By increasing the bore of the motor from 3 J g to 3" we are able to offer a power plant which at 1950 R. P. M. devel ops full 31 J a horsepower. Tests under every condition in all parts of the country dem onstrate that it easily devel ops better than fifty miles per hour on the road. Speed of course varies under different conditions, but in practically every instance it has been getting fifty miles an hour and with ease. We have scores of telegrams showing that twenty to twenty-five miles per gallon of gasoline is not unusual. The performance of this car is almost beyond belief. Take any other low-priced car on the market. Pit it against this new Overland. Compare them for sheer speed, for abundance of power, for rid ing comfort and economy, and you'll find this car will back anything else clean off the boards. That's a strong statement, but a fact nevertheless. Try it yourself arid see. Here are more important facts. It has four-inch tires- which are more than generous for a car of this size. Not only has it a large and roomy body, but it has an attractive, up-to-date stream line body. It has the latest and most im proved system of ignition. It has the cantilever springs the easiest riding springs in the world. What's more, it's complete. Not a thing to buy. You get the finest Auto-Lite electric starting and lighting system, magnetic speedometer, one man top, demountable rims and practically every acces sory found on the highest priced cars. It only goes to prove how big pfbduction can cut cost and save you money. First come, first served. Place your order now. 12 D. MISNER 235-245-255 S.

Everybody in Town To See Great Circus The greatest show on earth is in town. Miles upon mites of glittering splen dor, the monster blond-sweat ing be hemoth of holy writ, the raging deni zens of the jungle, the huge imchv- derma, Brobdingnnginn wonders from every quarter of the civilized nnd un civilized globe all are here, nnd the population is rising to the occasion with all of the old time enthusiasm. Hard times, whatever that may mean, seems to have worked no change in the Barnum & Bailey aggregation. The show is as big and bright as ever. Thousands of people saw the' street parade this morning, and it is the con sensus of opinion that a better parade never ambled and rumbled its way through the streets of Salem. Blaring bands in gilded chariots, open dens of wild animals, wagons and dens closed and enveloped in mystery, gorgeously appareled men and women mouuted up on beautiful horses, floats and tab leaux wagons typical of many legends of many countries, made up a pageant well conceived to lure the normal hu man being nnd his wife nnd his off spring and his mother-in-law to the dhow grounds.
