and OF all times. 1t is known and has been
enjoyed by millions in every land on earth,
crowned heads, royalty, potentates, the
middle classes and the peasantry, and its
magnitude and b%rilliancy have never ceased
to be a source of wonder.
The organization of this year numbers
800 people, 700 horses and thousands of
other animals. The canvas covers fourteen
acres OF ground, and the main tent seats
Is, 900 people. To haul the vast equipment
from town to town requires five long trains
of double length cars that cover nearly
two miles OF track.
The circus performance is introduced by
a new and more than usually brilliant
spectacle, the various acts that follow are
given in three rings, on two stages, in the
dome of the tent, and on the immense
hippodrome track, and for a climax the
program ends with the sensational act of
Desperate, who leaps from the dome Of
the tent, landing on his chest on a chute
three feet above the ground. A second
later and the man is standing on his feet
bowling to the audience. As a thriller moth
ing has ever approached this act.
For a second thriller there is the act OF
Jupiter, a magnificent horse, which, ridden
by a beautiful girl, goes up in a balloon
and descends amid a shower Of fireworks
The big circus is full of thrills, and in
every respect 1t is the greatest circus or
ganization in the worlds history.

TOO LITTLE RAIN IN CUSTER

Wheat win yield, on the average, only
half a crop in Custer county said c. w.

BKRNUM & BAILEY COMING
Greatest show on Earth to Visit
This City on Tuesday, July
Thirteenth.

Final arrangements have been completed
for the visit to our city on Tuesday, July
1S of the BArnum a Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth. Added glory attaches to
this. circus this season because Of the won
derful impression It has made since its
opening early In April.
One Of the reasons Of the added interest
is an absolutely new equipment throughout
and the most expensive it has ever had,
Then the performance has been increased
In strength, a great company Of European
performers new 10 America has been en-
gagged. and, better still, the street parade
is again given at the customary time In
the forenoon and on a scale more elaborate
than ever.
For several generations the Barnum &
Bailey circus has expressed to the minds
OF all the superlativs degree OF everything
that pertains to the amusement business.
II has moved steadily onward and upward,
year by year. and no other circus has ever
advanced to within sight OF It. Though

able to accomplish more In the rainy
season.
Many vegetables and fruits from the
temperate zone have been introduced into
the isthmus since the American oocupa-
ton. They are growing Nicsraguan
Strawberries with good results. also aspar-
ague, California navel and Florida
oranges. California mission and cluster
figs, Muscadine grapes, cucumbers, sweet
potatoes, tomatoes and beans.
Breeding Up Native Vegetables.
Uncle Sans gardeners nave taken sew
eral Of the native vegetables in land and
improved them. A little cultivation Of the
native spinach under their hands has i'm
proved It.
They have crossed the native tomato
with about forty-five American varieties
and have produced specimens that are able
to stand the excessive Panama moisture
without getting soft and watery. They
found that the American eggplant was sub
ject to fungus, but thrived when grated
with the native Panama variety.
The commissions men nave been expert
menting with vanilla, East India bamboo,
Mexican hemp and rubber plants. The ma
tive fruits in the commissions gardens in
clude mangoes Several East Indian va
~rietles), apaya avocados and the better
varieties OF bananas.
In the landscape garden large numbers
of native and exotic plants with brilliant
foliage have been grown. These include
crotons, grown from plants left by the
French, tree ferns which grow to a height
of nine feet, balsam apples, Florida crepe
myrtle and Dame del Noche, a native
Towering bush that takes it's name from
the strong perfume that It exhales at night.
Roses, especially Of the tea varieties, are
cultivated with success. They bloom
throughout the year, luxuriantly In May
and June.
Lepers Do Good Work.
Among the places that have been beau
titled and improved by the commissions
gardens is PaIo Seco, the leper colony.
Through the efforts Of the commissions
experts fruit and vegetables are now be-
ing raised by the lepers themselves in suf-
ficient quantities to go a good ways to-
ward their support. The lepers also have
their own chicken and hen yards, just as
they do their gardens.
There are now about seventeen Of these
unfortunates in Palo seoo. When the
American entered the isthmus eleven lepers
were isolated in an old building on the
outskirts Of Panama City and there were
others in Colon and other parts Of the
canal zone,
Under a concession the commission took
charge Of all the lepers in the zone at an
agreed per diem payment by the Panama
government. Those within the zone who
preferred to return to their native coun-
tries were sent back. The remainder were
isolated at Palo Seco, a beautiful spot
about six miles from Panama City.
It is separated from the city by the bay
and the Rio Grande and another small
river and Is accessible only by boat. There
are now eight buildings OF the most mod
srn types in the colony-four leper houses,
a hospital, a residence for the supervisor
OF the colony and a chapel, There Is an
abundance Of fruit at the place and under
the initiative of the commissions garden
ers Il will undoubtedly develop within a
few years into one of the most beautiful
spots on the isthmus.

"Dr. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde will be the
offering this week at the Air Dome Sum
mer theaCer, at the corner or Eighteenth

are as widely known. In his story, Steven
son depicts DR.. Jekyl as a kind and be-
nevolent physician, but his desire to get
out and mingle with degraded humanity
and see the seamy side of life, leads him
to dabble in tr~anscendental medicines, by
which means he has hopes to hide his
identity. His experiments at last are sue
c~essful. He discovers a combination OF
drugs that would kill every spark of good
in humanity and developes the evil side
Of a mans nature. Upon taking this com
pound he finds to his joy that II changes
his outward form beyond recognition by
his dearest friends, and when in this char
acter or condition. he calls himself Mr..
Hyde. He meets his old colleagues and as
~sociates and they shrink from him in hor-
ror, having no idea that this shrunken,
fiendish being is in fact their much loved
and respected DR.. Jekyl. His first few
trips to the slums as Hyde are very sue
cessful. On his return to his labratory, he
has but to take the antidote and the re-
action is wonderful, for he is instantly
