RINGLINGS TALK OF MOVING
THEIR HEADQUARTERS.

Ringing Brothers, kings of the cir
Gus world, have decided that northern
Minnesota is the best place in the
| United States. As Il result of THEN
decision, the winter quarters of the
circus will be removed from Baraboo
Wisconsin, to Duluth, according TO in
formation that has every ear mark Of
authenticity.
The report is that Ringing Broth
ers will establish permanent head
quarters of their great organization on
tract Of land somewhere in the vi
entity of Lester park. Every vestige of
the enormous property now located ut
Baraboo will be removed. and Duluth
thereafter will be the home of The
Greatest Shows on Earth" as the bill
boards have it.
The controlling influence that actu-
ates the Ringing people in coming To
the Head of the Lakes is that the eli
mate of that county is ideal from the
point of the animal keeper and breed
er. II is understood that the Ring
lings look forward To The time when
northern Minnesota will be the most
prosperous of all dairy and boodcd
stock regions. and, because they have
Investigated conditions and environ
ment with mind single to Their main
purpose of getting the best for the
least outlay. they will establish head
quarters here before the available
lands near the center Of population
have been snapped up by the dairy
men.
The tract which ii is understood the
Ringlings have selected for their pur-
pose is quite heavily wooded. is high
and dry. and has an abundance of
vegetation peculiarly valuable to them
In fact one of the chief reasons for
their coming To northern Minnesota
is said to he the bountiful supply of
nourishing vegetation available for
stock.
Recently representative of the
Ringlings was in Duluth and held sew
,ral protracted conferences with one
or two dealers in lands, and it is indi-
rectlv dine to these meetings that news
of the pending negotiations has leak
ed ont 1t is Surmised that the deal
for the tract desired has already been
closed. but no official coniirmat ion OF
the story is obtainable
In connection with the news that
the Ringlings have chosen this region
for their permanent headquarters, To-
cal men interested in the development
of northern Minnesota see Il connec-
ton between the fact OF their coming
here and recent Investigations conduct =
ed by experts representing several diff
fercnt state agricultural departments.
These experts have reported that the
vegetation in northern Minnesota Is
the most uniformly valuable TO he
found anywhere for the binding up
of the livestock industry
