COUNTRY LIFE WEEK
"Tho country boy is worth more
than the corn crop" will be the
slogan of several hundred rural lead
era who gather in Columbus begin
ning August 10th to hold what they
call "Country Life Week". "Coun
try Life Week" is a series of lectur
es, discussions, and exhibits devoted
to a study of present rural condi
tions and their possible improve
ment. Unlike most reformers and
uplifters of the present time, these
rural life leaders do not believe that
moral and social conditions in the
country have become especially
bad. They hold that, in general,
conditions are improving but feel
that some special effort must be
made to improve living conditions
in the country as well as in the city.
Prominent in the exhibits will be
charts and models showing condi
tions brought to light in tho Ohio
and other life 'surveys. Instead of
dwelling at length on isolated cases
where churches are run down or
congregations arc indifferent, the
speakers will emphasize the many
instances of marked improvement
during the last few years Some of
the speakers will describe in detail
methods used to improve tho edu
cational and farming conditions in
their own communities. The whole
plan of rural life week is to give
prominence to successful methods
wherever found in order that other
communities may copy them.

as possible.
All railroad tickets reading between
Cleveland and Buffalo are good for

The 101 Ranch Heal Wild West Show
ia to be at Toledo on Saturday, August
15, thus affording the residents of this
and adjoining towns an opportunity of
seeing what has been admitted to be
the greatest amusement aggregation
ever organized. There is no show in
thii country that has won for itself a
reputation for merit and care of its
patrons as has the 101 Ranch Wild
West. It ranks in magnitude with the
very largest and tours the country on
ita own three trains of double lenth
cars. Nearly 1,000 men, women and
horses are required to give the per
formance that is given twice daily in
thejhuge arena. The show carries with
it over one hundred Indians, and every
one of them is seeing this part of the
country for the first time. Cheif Iron
Tail, the famous Sioux Indian, whose
profile appears on the new five cent
piece leads the Indian congress. The
cowboya and cowgirls are all from the
great 101 Ranch in Bliss, Oklahoma,
and it is from this ranch, the largest
In the world, that the show derives its
name and which is the show's home
vwhen not on the road. Miller Brothers
who, with Edward Arlington, are the
owners of the show are also the owners
of this extensive rannh. Auto polo,
played by cowboys who "break" polo
ponies on tho ranch is the newest
thriller this season.
On the morning of the day that the
show will be in Toledo a grand free
street parade will be given, and even
if you do not intend to witness the
performance, you should not miss this
mighty street parade. It is said to be
the greatest street demonstration ever
seen, and as tho show has made nearly
all the larger cities and been lauded to
the very limit by the press and patrons
alike, there is no reason to doubt any
thing that is promised for the parade
or anything connected with this stu
pendous enterprise. Two performances
are to be given. The afternoon per
formance at 2 o'clock and tho evening
performance at S o'clock. Tho doors
will open one hour earlier.
