School Xotes.
At the meeting of the Butler School
Board, last Friday evening, six plans
for a High School building, drawn by
six architects were inspected: and the
Board listened to Supt. Gibson's account
of the different High School buildings
they had inspected during their late
trip, and postponed selecting a plan and
an architect till the meeting of this
week —Friday evening.
Warren, Ohio, has the best building
that Supt. Gibson and Prof. Irvine saw
daring their trip. It cost s'.>o,ooo and is
luilt around a square-roofed court, a
very showy structure and finely equip
ped. The"school has commercial, cook
ing and manual training departments.
There is a girl's gymnasium on one side
and boys'gvm in another builiing. The
laboratories, he thought. were the finest
he had ever seen, being more like those
of a college than a high school. Warren
is fortunate in having a benefactor in
the person of a millionare named Smith,
to \vhos9 generosity much of the fine
equipment is dne.

Dear Sir: Two and two make four —
not always; depends npon what "two
and two" are.
Two gallons of water and two gallons
of milk don't make fonr gallons of milk.
Neither does fonr gallons of paint
that's half lime, whiting, clay and
kerosene oil, make fonr gallons of real
paint.
That's what we mean by saying
"Fewer gallons; wears longer. ' It takes
fewer gallons of Devoe lead-and-zinc
than of mixed paints to paint a honse,
and it wears twice or three times as
long as lead-and-oil mixed by hand.
Mr Chas Avery, of Herkimer. N Y,
bought 51 gallons of Devoe lead-and
zine to paint his five houses, his painter
having figured that it would require at
least that amount; 30 gallons did tlie
work and he returned 15 gallons

ANIMATED BEAUTY.
Magnificent Pageant Presented
by the Carl Uagenbeck
Greater Shows.
Fully believing that the circus parade
has become an honored institution in
the public mind and an event looked
forward to with keenest anticipatory
pleasure, the management of the Carl
Hagenbeck Greater Shows, which ex
hibit in Butler, Tuesday May Sth, 1906,
has not abandoned a feature so essential
to complete realization of all circus day
calls for and promises. Rather, there
has been greater effort than ever before
to make the pageant of the present
season more inspiringly beautiful and
novel than those that have gone before
With the complete reconstruction of
these newer shows the task became
comparatively easy, merely calling for
a financial outlay in proportion to that
in other departments The thousand
people and the four hundred horses
were sufficient in number, but the de
mands of the parade designers were for
new floats, dens, cages, lairs, tableau
cars, band vehicles, chariots and new
costumes and trappings throughout. An
appropriation amounting to a small
fortune was called for and made. Artista
who have made a specialty of festival
decoration designed the many new
wagons, directed their construction and
personally worked out the splendid color
schemes. Expert costumers designed
and constructed the variegated uniforms
and regalia, using the richest clothes
and finest materials. The clothes of
gold and silver and the howdaha with
which the elephants are covered and be
decked are of Oriental design and
architecture and rich in coloring oeyond
description. The tiligreed trappings of
thy horses and their bejeweled bridles
uud head dresses aretriumnbsof the art
of the harness maker and silversmiths.
Banners and heraldic devices are of
embroidered silks and satins. The en
tire Hindoo colony of one hundred
forms an Oriental section of pictur
esqueness beyond compare. Several
bands of musicians, pipers, trumpeters
and numerous clowns add to the general
gayety of the occasion. The animal
cages in nearly every instance are seen
with their sides removed and the rare
zoological exhibits in full view. All in
all such kaleidoscopic and animated
pageantry has never been seen before.
