MauCAN, has two portable Panama Canal Shows which are reported to be doing ex- ' cellent business. One in a department store In Portland, Ore., and tbe other in a store room in San Francisco. Fred S. Is exploiting Ibe Panama ' Canals -prior to making arrangements for the world hour of his Nosh's Ark. Note.—The Noah's Ark, ss planned by Fred S. bids fair to be one of the moat novel sbow propositions yet framed. Gosh Dabnit says If Is's so, say that you stw It in The Nbw Yobk Oliffeb. Gosh says, watch for the special features in the Sixty-first Anni- versary Number, and place your order now. Habbt Dbvex is serving a sentence in a hotel In San Antonio as a Winter pastime. Barry says that a human Osh has better chances of living longer than a motor cyclist, so he Is not going to ride any more motordromes. Later.—narry quit tbe hotel. Dick Weston left San Antonio Wed- nesday.

Willie Is much im- proved now. S. Solomon, general agent of Solomon ft Dor- man Liberty Carnival, and Judith X, Maxar, of Scranton, Pa., were married in Utlca. N. ¥., one day of the first week In January. This informa- tion was furnished us by George F. Dorman, who wishes his partner a long and happy wedded life. Gosu Dabnit aays that Imitators shall like- wise have their beads cut off. Mes. T. N. Blackweu., formerly Mrs. Joe Cnl- liaon, known to the profession as Gertie Calllson, is making her permanent home at Fowierton. Tex. Jos Oalllson, during bis lifetime, was one of the foremost talkers in the business. Jambs F.

GEonoE F. Dobican has been visiting friends and relatives In Ssn Antonio for tbe past week. Gosu Dabnit says when a man offers you some- thing which be aays is Jtut as good at half the price he Is Insulting you. Calhobnu Fbank says that agents cannot he In the show business and tell the truth. W. Da- vid Oohn soys, yes, they can, bat It Is not neces- sary. T. O. Moss—Several showmen have come Into Van Antonio, recently, and say that you are get- Ing quite u carnival together. How was Merl- Jsn, Mississippi! a W. Paukeb thinks tint New York City Is a teat place. O. W. returned to Leavontrorth, rVansas, very much Impressed with the speed of tho New York "Bunch'* He ssys they axe fust jointers, fast talkers, and grest doers. E. R. Benjamin. —Are* you going with the Tom W. Allen All Star Fashion Plate Carnival? E. K. is a first class carnival sbjwman, and don't forget It. Oosa Dabnit says that a carnival la a dis- tinctive form of amusement. Just ss much so as the circus, the drama, the burlesque, the min- strel, musical comedy and the vaudeville. Gosh can not understand why carnivals are called ttiows and amusement courpnnles. Ciiablotte. N. C Is going to have a cele- bration In May, to celebrate ihe signing of tbe Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. Ehoenb P. McKenna'b love for horses will, very likely, make him return to tbe saddle with tbe Wild West which Is going with tbe Rice ft Dure Water Carnival, which opens the season st Portland, Ore., April 0. If he does, thla will le the second season with the same orgsnlaatlon. H. B. Danville stepped into San Antonio, Tuesday, Jan. 13, to remain a few weeks, for a much needed rest. Baba Dei.aabia.v. —You have our best wishes for a successful season. Baba.—Is It the big Oriental Spectacular this year? Let's have the news In detail. _. _ W. H. Rice ssys the Rice ft Dore Waler Cir- cus Front will be Ihe finest ever built for any similar attraction. Gosu Dabnit wants to know who wants to be s pouter pigeon, with bis hot air bag alwaya under his chin? .... 80MIBODT Is trying lo book a carnival Into Baa Antonio around March 17. Jilt Delanet.—How Is tbe Hat Hoop-la? Tub Southern Amusement Company, when It lesvea the State of Texas, will be a twenty-car carnival, on flat cars arid In wagons. II. B. Dan- ville says this will happen about March 10, when they go North from Fort.Worth. II. B. says that the wagons trill be built In Ihe latter city, and that Don C. Stevenson will be the general man- ager and II. B. Danville, .the general agent, the some as before. O. M. Hunt had a consolation with himself the other dsy, and decided that walrus bide It mightier than tbe pen. O. M.—We get from this that it has something to do with suitcase pro- moting, figuring that it is better to pack a suit- case and get out than It is to send wires. • Gosu Dabnit says: "Hain't this fine weather we are having in San Antonio. Gosh says he feels like getting out and bally-booing. Habbt.Loktos ,will have one of his trained . nnrmai circuses with David Lachman's Mid-Winter Shows on their early tour through Texas. Harry was In Chicago las( week. J, H. Johnson Is not overlooking anything:. He told Henry Marti, nec.etary if the Texas Stale Hardware Dealers Association that he could .use his 13,500 organ free of cost at their convention, wblcb opened In San Antonio Jan. 21, for three days. „ ilABET Howabd will take out a few concessions for Felece Bernard! with tbe David Lachmsu Mld-Wlnler Exposition Shows. Harry figures that he should get some money. We trust that be ESSSt Havb received a number of Inquiries for back well to order these direct from the publication office, 17 West Twenty-eighth Street, New York City. N. Y. Address Circulation Manager, New Yobk Clip- ra. Gosu Dabnit aays: Aim at efficiency, superior service and all those other things that go toward creating a demand for your services, flesh says hard work has a lot to do wllh it, and he thinks !t would be worth the effort. Wonueb what educated horse show hss tbe con- cession for the Panama-Pacific Exposition to be held at San Francisco IBIS? Those who are In a position to know ssy that there will be no ex- position In Now Orleans. Manning B. Plktz has announced bis aOJIli- tior. for the coming season. J. L. Bbown, of Tampa, Florida, has done some big things" with carnival amusements, particu- larly local to Tampa. J. L.—What's coming off soon? J. N. Wibnes and Felece Bernardl are seen to- gether quite frequently In San Antonio. In iuct, they have l>een In close conferences the last few weeks. We look for something startling soon. Gosu Dabnit says obligations make men of tbe undo species, provided they are possessed of the ennobling desire to maki good to their fellow men by making good their obligations. Gosh seems to have been messing around that bunch of squirrels. We will never let him do It again. W. David Cohn, Plain Dave Morris, W. M. Motley, George H. Coleman, John W. Moore and Frank G. Scott all seem to think that a change once In a while don't hurt. Guess It don't. Good men can nuke good nnywiiere, with anybody, bo wo will let It go at that. S. Solomon, general agent, can step around a lot of general agents any time that be wants lo. S.—Why not step around a little this season and sbow them a fow things? T'HB Sun Antonio "Light" Injected Into their sr.nual asking school considerable abomnen-slil.i, doubtless due to the Ideas and suggestions of Man- ning B, Plets, who decorated the hall and building, and built many attractive booths, and assisted tbe management In many ways In handling the crowds and making the affair a success. The Sac Antonio "Light" gives Manning B. credit for having many good Ideas. Mr. Kate Vaughn, the wonderful demonstrator of domestic science, was Instrumental in attracting many of the women of the carnival profession to her dally demonstra- ti'.ts. We noticed that Mrs. Herbert A. Kline, Mrs. Walter K. Sibley, Mrs. Manning B. Pletx. Mrs. -J. Fred Plets, Mrs. Felece Bernardl and Mrs. Harry Lukens and many .others attend the daily den'onstratlons, which they pronounce great. Of course we expect to see many new dishes In tho carnival cook-houses next season. Bennik KHAU8E.—Arc you coming to San An- tonio to pay us a visit? Bennlc.—Why not take some of George F. Dorman's tips In regard to real estate In Texas? Gosu Dabnit says, why sre so many of the managers changing their general agents? Or Is It tbe agents changing their managers? This might go two wsys, which it no doubt docs. Dana Thompson says that it Is hardly prob- able that be will return to tbe carnival business as he has been ranking good for about five or six seasons with his Colored Minstrels, under canvas. Dana.—We are not going to make any long bet that you will not be back some time. When once tbe carnival stings you, you know what It means. F. II. Scott. —We note that during the absence of K. G. Barkoot, in Asia, that you are handling the business end of the Tropical Amusement Com- pany In a most creditable manner. F. II.— There is one thing that we can not understand, why a tropical organization Is In South Carotlnn In January? That's right, blame it on the agent. Jean Db Kbeko ssys that he will have every- thing in ship-shape order In time for the open- ing in San Antonio, In April. Gosu Dabnit says, enter laughingly, exit tho same way. If you can't do that, stay where you are. H. B. Danville says: "Tbe truth la mightier than hot air," and that "the agent who confines himself to true facts, regarding his organization, can alwaya come back." Gosh Dsrnlt, we think that H. B. Is right. O W. Pabkeii. —What's this about tbe Ferris wheel that is to be put up In fifty minutes nml taken down In thiriy-flve? Harry Moore.—You better look out. Robbbt N. Paul spent a few day* In San An- tonio recently. Robert N. is still the agent In ad- vance for the Oscar Graham attractions, playing one night stands throughout Texas. Habbt Gubinbkt is the man that all of tbe carnival men look up when they go to Gonzales, Tex., Hairy spent a few days In San Antonio with the carnival "hunch" recently. Manning) B. Pletz nouounces that he will be with Con T. Kennedy this season. Tell you mors about It later. Gosu Dabnit wants to know why general agents can't dig up some events. Something like Mer- chants' Shopping Weeks, under tbe auspices of Retail Merchants' Associations? Gosh, they could tf they would stay away from the showmen's hotels long enough. H. B. Danville, W. David Cohn, Harry Sang- er and Robert 0. La Burno, all of them general Agents now, have been busy running in and out of San Antonio the past week. David Lacuuan'b Mid-Winteb Exposition Shows when they left San Antonio for Kerrvllle, Tex., took quite a bunch of carnlvalltes with them. Some as visitors and others as attaches of tbe sbow. Edwabd Cohn, manager of Dana Thompson's Sunny Dixie Minstrels, spent a tew days with tbe "bunch" In San Antonio recently L. S. MABSiiriELD, special sgent for tbe J. G. Miller Carnival spent Sunday, Jan. 18, in San Antonio. Gosu Dabnit says that many managers would go broke If they would attempt lo do all that their letterheads say that they ire going to. Cuables M. Niobo bxB dlsposcj of his interest In the Great White Way Shows to J. George 1.00s. Cars, future contracts, leases snd good-will going wllh It. This makes J. George Loos the sole manager and owner of the Oreat White War Carnival. J. George, we are going to watch you now. Qeoejb F. Dobman makes a bet that Texas Is a good place to Winter. To prove that be thinks so he has purchased a lot of real estate in Fowierton, Tex., and vicinity. Mna. John Esmond has been In t hospital In Eon Antonio, undergoing medical treatment, Geoeoe La Rosb —We bare been Informed that your electric fountain goes with J. W. Hampton's Greater Empire Carnival. George. Is that right? Gosh Dabnit says when another manager baa n town contracted leave It alone. Goeb ssys have you no ethical standard? If yon haven't, you should have. To all of Thh New Yobk Currui Agents, now on tortr with carnivals: Red Onion wants to hear from you at once. Address William Judklna Hewitt (Red Onion), care Nbw Yobk Olnteii. 47 West Twenty-eighth Street. New York City, H. Y. Something of great Interest to you. Do it today. Jay O. Tobneb says that the world Is all right, but that tho guys In it have got It all mixed up, Joun D. Wbiuut plans to lake a abort tour with Dana Thompson's Sunny Dixie Minstrels. IIenbt Oasst, the famous talker, who Is now on the frout of Johnny J. Jones" Trained Wild Animal Circus, furnishes us tbe Information that the Johnny J. Jonca' carnival train of twenty-two cars wss the flrst special show train of any kind to pass over tbe Florida Eaat Coast Railway's cocu-nslon; between Miami and Key West, Florida. Gosu Dabnit saya the day of the hot air mer- chants has passed. Gosh ssys that you must de- liver tbe "goods" according to contract. A. D. Murray Is one of tbe best talkers on an educated horse show. A. D.—Let's have the news. D. 0. McDaniels —Who does your erasy bouse go with this season? - Charles M. Ninaos' stateroom car went on tour with David Lachman's Mld-Wlnler Imposi- tion Shows for a short while. Gosh Dabnit says, some general managers and general agents, by reason of their ability and ex- perience are entitled to get off the kerosene cir- cuit and go where the flaming arcs arc. Jay 0. Turner, the well known talker, will, vary probably, be a moving picture actor In the near future. Tbe Elk Photoplay Company, of San Antonio, are now uegotluthig for his services. Jay 0. has bad experience as a moving picture sctor. W. David ConN found tbe barbecued fish? In San Antonio to be very much to his liking. W. David had the "grunts" taken out before eating, however. A. B. Milleb. —What's It going to bo this season? Make us a little speech. Gosu Dabnit says, all the world Is hungry for something. 8ome for food, some for love, some for fame, and many for spprobatlou. Schwartz and Tubimn, of motordrome fame, according to Information at hand, have been making a Winter tour, with their track, with the Moss Brothers' Carnival. Hahbv R. Pollack, the Pittsburgh hustler, recently made n trip to Chicago and saw the Wellington "bunch." Harry R. says, If lie could make money as fast aa they can, that be would wake up every morning wllh another million in his pocket. Ibvino J. Pollack. —You are hereby notified that the world wants to know something about the Great Rutherford Carnival Ben H. Klein ssys that he Is not going to take out his own carnival this season. Ben II.— For-why? Gosu Daenit says: Managers, when you are sc busy fighting for those fairs why not take time to find out exactly where the Midway Is to be located'- Gosh says: Oh, yes, locations count a whole lot. Boooeu Red, of Wild West fame.—Wo have learned from what we consider a reliable source, that you are going to go with Ihe carnival that Baba Delgarlan la organizing In Chicago. Booger knows how to tut on a Wild West all right. Otto Klinb and Texas Garbbtt will hnve the Wild West with the Rice ft Dore Winter Carnival this season. Otto and Texas have been playing vaudeville with a sketch called "Cheyenne bays." RlCB ft Dorb. —The Indiana S'.ate Fair, at In- dianapolis. Is a good State fair. Do yon play It? II. L. Miller, John Urle and 0. Earl Parker.— Say something. Oosil l)Aii.v;r says: Managers why not econo- mise a little by hiring n stenographer and get your mill out on time eacli day so that you won't MltS JOHN AI.KYMvDEB I*0I,L1TT. have to do everything the last minute before the season opens. Gosh says: Out down that tele- graph office expense and put some money Into sys- u-raltlr.lng your olllce. r)y dolnii this you can save a lot of money on the season. Stumps cost two cents; telegrams cost dollars. H. B. Danville has no fear of tbe Hoo-Doo, He wears a number thirteen tlepln, Doo Alluan. —We have got to give you credit. You are surely getting a most creditable organi- zation together for the coming tour. With John I'. Martin as secretary and treasurer, a real press agent, and one of America's best general agents, convinces us that you arc not going to bo short when it comes to having an efficient staff. > GtDBac 0. Johnston and John A. Pollitt kept the Kansas City "bunch" In a good humor during their recent stay In that city. Walter F. Stanley returned lo Kansas City, from his Texas tour, much satisfied with the things that be saw, did and learned while down there.

Oun T.—You are responsible, to a great degree, for some of tbe "big things" that are being done. The Canadian National Inhibition, at Toronto, Can., 'Is the biggest event anywhere In Ihe world—of its kind. It. W. Snmi writes from Ilrownsvllle, Tex., under recent date, that while Ibe Mld-Wltiter l-'nlr was not tbo greatest event ever, It was fairly good, and that the J. O. Miller Carnival gave ex- cellent satisfaction, tiood weather prevailing oil except one dsy. The llrovmivtlle Herald says: "That Ilrowiisvllllans have been revelling In a very anccessful Winter celebration, and that Hie ten days were ten important days for Browns- ville." We note that "Donns Day" and "Han Benito Day" brought out good crowds. SrKAKiNO of amusement*, Tas QUmer (Tex.) Mirror suggests: "That parents should lie care- ful In the selection of amusements for Ihelr child- ren, as in the selection of their food, clothing und similes, for as the child amusements sre, so Ihe child will be. It Is too often the case that Ihe lives of children are rendered morose and Ihelr bodies stunted from being deprived of Judicious and healthy amusements." Hounds good, don't It?
