\ REAL SHOW MERGER
Three-Ring Circus and Trained Wild
 Animal show

If the all encompassing statement of everything under the sun is appro- priate and fitting in making an asser
 ton of the manifold attractions of tn e Hagenbeck- Wallace shows, which ex- hibit here on Thursday October 20, then so be 1t. But construe the state ment literally and add little ina gin ation and even then, after seeing this many featured amusement enterprise, there may be no subsequent indict- ment for exaggerating and peryersion of the truth. Figuratively speaking. the Hagenbecl<- Wallace shows have spread a dragnet over the amusement and zo- ologicaY universe and hauled in the ropes; have made a scientific assort- ment of the great catch, retained all that was wonderful or strilSingly sen sational, and cast away the refuse. If there Is aught that has been overlook ed 1t must be ethereal, elusive or i'm aginary. Every avenue of possible in- noyation has been traversed and every | field of possible feature has been ray aged. Aggrandizement and progression were the watch words in the still great :, CT enlargement of this vast amusement enterprise, the determined purpose be- ing to make the Hagenbeck Wallace | shows the greatest of all travelling
 amusement institutions and yeritable
 moving city of enchantment. There Is a three ring circus equal in size to
 the largest of other similar shows. em-
 bracng performances and exhibitions
 that are as complete as brains. capital | ingenuity and talent can make them
 Then there are the European novelty performances of marvellous and start | ling interest, and complete Oriental l exposition given in its entirety by na- | lives of the far east that Is at once magical and mysterious, fascinating and
 fantastic. Imagine then the magnitude
 of these great sho ows with the com plete world-f famed trained wild animal
 show forming mere nucleus of this
 most comprehensive amusement enter
 prse and consisting of the cleveresi performers of the 1npgles, comprising
 African lions, Bengal tigers. leopards
 pumas. boar hounds and zebras. The
 parade of the morning is opulent witl l It's glittering Oriental and Occidental 1 sections and sensationally attractive with its many open dens of animals
 Surely enough to make a glorious ant gladsome holiday for even the mos

SAVE THE LITTLE SONGSTERs
Estimated That Robin Is Worth $40
Yearly to Farmer for Bugs and
Worms Devoured

Every boy and girl living in a vii
lage or on farm should be a mem
ber of an Audubon club and help to
save the birds. They can form clubs
themselves, and there are laws to help
them in their good work
1t should be against the law in
every state in the Union to destroy
robin, blue bird. lark, woodpecker, blue
jay. chicadee or other native bird, or
to meddle with their nests Even the
OWL though he has a taste for chicken,
will destroy more rats and mice in a
year than the farmer can catch in half
dozen traps.
The English sparrows have driven
the native birds out of the parks in
most cities. and they themselves are
a perfect pest. The damage they do
to the country at large is figured at
hundreds of thousands of dollars. 1t
is well to get rid of them, but all other
birds should be protected and encour-
aged to multiply. If they were, they
would stay with us longer in the fall
and come earlier in the spring. 1t is
estimated that every robin is worth
$40 year to the farmer for what bugs
and worms it devours.

SOME SMART LITTLE GIRLS
Some Notable Achievements Accom-
pIished by Them in Various Parts
of Country.

The boys of this country must not
get the idea that they are the only
smart things in it. There is a girl IN
Mississippi who lost both hands three
years ago, but has learned to do good
typewriting with her toes. There is
girl in Ohio with a wooden foot who
plays football and runs races and
beats all the boys.
In Wisconsin a girl IL years old
swan a horse across a river and saved
a passenger train from disaster. Mich
igan has a girl of II who can do any
sum in mathematics you give her and
not be over ten seconds about it.
Pennsylvania has one of IL years who
can learn and repeat any chapter in
the Bible in 20 minutes.
Delaware has miss, now 16 years
old, who went, into the grocery busi-
ness when she was only ten, and at
the present date she is making $4,000
a year; and Connecticut has one of 10
who has traded horses and got the
best of it over 40 times.
The American boy is pretty cute,
but the American girl isn't going to
be left very far behind in the race.

WHERE ROBE WOULD COUNT
Under Friendly Cover Preacher Might
Safely Proceed to Split His
lnfinitives.


'T tried to get chance to speak to
you at church Sunday" said Mrs. Old
castle, "but the crush was so great
that couldn't push through to where
you were.'' Yes, wasn't it awful?" re-
piled her hostess, as she flecked bit
of dust from the Gobelin tapestry. "All
the common folks in town seem to
want to crowd into our church lately.
It's too bad they amt satisfied to stay
where they belong. How did you like
the sermon?" ''Well, as a sermon it
was fairly good, but do wish Doctor
Goodman would quit splitting his in
finitives. 1 try not to let it make me
nervous, but can't keep from being
shocked every time he does it" 81

me, but that's where the Episcopals

it is better to feed larger proportion
of cottonseed meal, say perhaps at the
rate of two-thirds cottonseed meal and
one-third corn or corn and cob meal
AS the season advances these pro-
portions should be reversed. Keep the
animals growing for the first three
months of the feeding period and dur
ing the last two or three months finish
them. If we attempt to feed corn
straight from the beginning they will
not grow as we'll, nor will they gain as
rapidly as if fed a larger amount of a
concentrate rich in protein and
smaller amount of corn.

PLANNING FOR
HOME GARDENS
Procure Well Known and Thor
OughIy Tested Varieties of
Seeds and Those Best
Suited to Locality.
CBy BESSIE L. PUTNAM.)


The selection of seeds should not be
delayed until congested mails render
the delivery too slow to enable one to
plant early. For whether for home
use or marketing, the earlier a vege-
table can be secured, the greater its
value to us.
If for home use, the season is thus
prolonged; if for the market, the cash
value represented is greatly increased.
Before ordering, look over your own
supply carefully, and note what seeds
are lacking; what are so old that vi
tality may be .impaired-and replace
all doubtful ones with new seed. Sc
lect a reliable firm. Cheap seeds are
too often bitter disappointment.
If you have saved beans or peas
and find them infested with weevil,
treat with carbon bisulphide or de-
stroy. Never plant them to scatter
the insects broadcast.

GAMES ARE STILL UNALTERED
Children May Grow Up, Develop and
Alter, But Pastimes Remain
Interchangeable.

Youngsters grow up, develop and al
ter. but their games. the frivolities of
the school yards, corners and vacant
lots. are unchangable.
A man who knows kids has investi
gated. He romped with half dozen
little bundles of huskiness in his
neighborhood the other day, parrying
shocks. both to dignity and loss of
breath, says Kansas City Times. He
vouches for the statement that little
folks games never change. Further
he reports as follows:
"The games are precisely the same
as when l was small and robust, only
'Technicalities' haven't changed bit. ="
Hide and go seek'-why, l under.
stand they played it years and years
ago in England just as l played it
and the way the children play it now
Some one is it and everybody else
scrambles away to hide, and then after
it has counted so or 60 or 100, every.
body is anxious to touch its base
before it does. OF course : you
remember that whoever is caught
first has to be it the next time
And Pussy Wants a Corner where
pussy or it again tries to slip into
corner while one boy or girl is
changing places with another Not
fractional change can be found in
it. And London Bridge Is Falling
Down. where some one is caught by
the bridge holders and has to pay a
penalty or choose to support one of
the halves of the bridge in the tug of
war that finally results. Can you
find any alteration?
And all of the varieties of tag
wood, iron, grass or paper 'tag-how
could it be supplemented to make it
any more enjoyable? And Run, Sheep,
Run-you remember it, of course,
don't you? And Cheese another sort
of Hide and Seek where you can
run only while it is counting ten and
holding its eyes shut. And King,
King Calico another abridgement of
tag in which the little folks try to
run across the street before it tags
'em. And Saratoga or Guess or
New York. as it used to be called
when played it, with the procedure
all the same: One side illustrates
some process, as picking cherries, for
instance, and the other side guesses
what they're doing. And as soon as
they guess they rush to tag members
OF the other side and include them In
their party. OF course you know all
about it. Didn't you play it the same
way 20, 80 years ago?
"Grown-ups have to abridge and re.
wise their games and sports every year
to keep up interest. They're jaded and
satiated. but the kids are more con.
slstent and more simply satisfied
They like their games and there are
enough of them for variety"

SCARCITY OF DESIRABLE
STOCKERS AND FEEDERS
Feature Is LIE
Of Cattle of Right Kind in Many Western
States-VaIue of Feeding Ensi1aSe
Is Clearly Shown.

A prominent feature of the trade in
stockers and feeders these days is the
scarcity of desirable kinds and the
poor quality of the rank and file offer
ings. General complaint is made by
prospective buyers that they are un-
able to secure anywhere near the num-
Der of either stocker or feeder cattle
of a desirable class, although they
seem willing to pay the prevailing
prices for them. And there seems to
be no relief from this condition in the
near future. The run of western hay
feds for this season is near an end
Many states that are usually sellers at
this time of the year are buyers now.
The shortage seems most pronounced
