WAR AND SHOW BUSINESS
Makes Poor Circuit Man'* Life One
Continual Round of Ju»l What
Sherman Said it Wan.
Our people never quite realized Im*w
extremely scarce labor is getting to
be in this country until Gentry Bros,
show landed here last Friday and they
saw them trying to haul the big tents
'and paraphanulia from the railroad to
I the grounds w ith two teams and about
half dozen men to handle it all. It
j was a slow and painful process und
; will be worse at the next stop as sev
eral quit here and said it was that
I way at every town where they stop-
I ped.
Most of our labor is in the essential
class and we have not been disturbed
to the extent some sections have. The
erew attempting to tiandle the Gentry
show barely get the touts up in time
for the parade and then they have to
assLst in the parade, und by that time
I hoy have to begin tearing dow n the
tents to gel them back on the truck
iby train time. Some joyous life, be
lieve me, boy!
What there was of the circus wa.
good. The animals were well train
ed and did their part nobly in taking
the places of the men and women who
have mostly filled out the program:
in the past. The place of the numer
ous army of clowns that generally de
corate a circus, was taken by two
: ancient wrecks that were tottering too
| near the brink of the grave to get any
[joy or hilarity out of living, and their
; quiet and sedate occasional appear
lance drew no breathless amazement
from the kidlets. Even the peanut and
popcorn butchers seemed to have oozed j
■ away their accustomed pep even in
j proportion as the size of their sack,
had dwindled—and that is some dwin
dle—almost reaches the vanishing
point. It is evident that until the wal
ks over the circus will have to follow
that other national game, baseball,
and go into retirement.

Rifle Club Loses Another.
Ralph Householder, assistant post
master, and charter member of the La
mar Rifle Club, left Monday for At
lanta, Georgia, to enter the artillery
officers training school. His position,
exempted him from service if he so
desired, and as two members of the
family were already in the service he
had ample excuse to use his exemp
tion, but the call of patriotism was too
strong, and ho has for some time been
trying to get in, and at last succeeded.
He has had previous military train
ing in old Co. D. The Rifle Club and
many friends went out to the station
to .see him off, and bid him godspeed.
Got Slackers.
Sheriff I. C. Downing has been mak
ing a great reconi in picking up slack
ers, who registered under assumed
names or else did not register at all,
1 and getting them into service. This
week he discovered two young men
endeavoring to sell a team and wagon
| for less than half its value, mo he
' demanded their names which they
gave as Jack Ward ami Carl Pierson.
• When asked for their registration
cards they claimed to have lost them
and attempted to make their escape
I so he landed them in jail and the fol
lowing morning the owner of the team
and the sheriff from Überal, Kansas,
1 arrived and identified the property as
having been stolen from that plaee,
and the young men as having evaded
the draft.
