They are all contemplat- ing big things, and In spite of Increased cost of running their- fsirs were proposing offering bigger and better' Inducements all around, to get patron- age.

You have a lot to answer for Steve By the way, Barry Wright will not be the gen- eral sgent of the new twenty car show that will go ont from the' Parker factories next ses- ■on, but general manager. At that we expect that the agent's duties will devolve upon Harry to a Ct extent, as be will have on swful lob find- a man.to All his own place In that direction.

T. Wright, now identified in an execu- tive capacity with ■ tbe National Mileage ' Company, Chicago, and one of tbe pioneer members of the 8. L. A., says: "The- League rhouli have a "special, definite and permanent object. And that object should be one' that will appeal to ail—rich and poor, high or low, sick or well, male and female—in the show world. In other words, broaden the scope of the organization so that the mem- bership may include representative individ- uals in branches of tbe show business other than that of outdoor amusements, and then build a nark, or resort, where indigent show folk could live in ease and comfort and enjoy the pleasures of life. Where the well-to-do, aa well as tbe humbler folk, could while awny their vacation hours. All thb could be dono and the entertainment furnished by profes- sionals, who arc members or may be visitors, without expense." Mr. Wright, continuing, says: "This re- serve should be located near water and rail transportation. It should be made a home for the indigent and a place of pleasure for all. I believe that it would not be at alt difficult after a location had been selected to obtain six hundred and forty acres of land, in close proximity to a good, live town, and that the municipality would contribute the land, free of taxes, with free water and free lights, and liberal donations towards erect- ing tbe largest theatorlum in America, where circus and stage acts can be produced both Winter and Summer. I nm sure the street railway, if necessary, would build an exten- sion to Tbe Phowmt-u's League reserve, and would also pad the donation. Likewise rail- way and steamship lines could be induced to contribute, for if tbe project were carried out, as I am certain It can be if once launched, it would mean Increased travel, aa tbe resort could not fall to become a magnet for show people and the public at large •within a certain radius. I base my judgment on similar conditions which now exist all over the t.'nited States with other organiza- tions. Why not The Bhowmen't Leaguet Bomc one name a location and I, for one, am ready to go in the Held to secure the neces- sary amount of land, gratis, and I would flamy welcome associates in this wonderful cnevolent and amusement cause. I inadvert- ently failed to mention tbe fact that buildings for homes, surrounding this theatorlum. could be built • individually • or constructed by In- dividual on monthly payments. The League could do this on the building and loan plan. I consider this a worthy cause, and one that should be given nttention and expression so that we may settle upon a plan that will go down In history as the showmen of tho world having done something really worth while for their fellow men ; an everlasting monu- ment. We will not overlook the women, and they will be with us once they fully under- stand the proposition. Now that the Old Reliable has opened It columns for the 8. T, A. Bulletin, let the members of our or- ganization who have suggestions to offer, submit them freely. Nothing like printers' ink In matters of this kind and the right will prevail. The League must Hve, ana it can and irill do a tot of good. Let as put onr thnulders to tbe wheel and start something. Drop a few lines to the Secretary, SOS Ashland Block. Chicago.

I am making ready to handle a volume of business which I expect to flow Into my Leavanwortb factories that will keep the Parker forces working night snd day for months to cone.
