RINGLANDs TO SHOW
Dfg Circus VIII Be in Birmingham for
 One Day, October


 Ringling Brothers worlds greatest give two performances in Birmingham When Ringing Brothers exhibited in Madison Square Garden, New York city was simply paralyzed with amaze ment. It was not used to seeing such a show as these brothers are now pre- senting. Naturally enough 1t was as- tonished. The daily papers, one and all, took their hats off, figuratively and said 1t was the best circus of all The magazines devoted pages to a de- scription of the various acts. It was sensa ton in the amusement affairs of the metropolis.
 When it appears here the same pro- gramme will be given. It is an all- feature show. Not content with the reputation of owning the best and big gest circus in the world, the Ringlings have kept on growing and bettering. It Is their policy to grow and to im- prove. They cannot help 1t. They are still young men and not at all con- tent tof rest on past glories. Perfec- tion is their aim. They have practical ly attained it.
 The foreign agents of the show are an unusually energetic and progressive set of men. They have stripped Europe and Asia of all its best talent for this years tour of America And fate was kind to them. Last winter was an unusually productive season in Europe in the way of novelties. They were all secured The cost of this importa- : ton of talent would have bankrupt any other show in America.
 Meantime the tropics of South Amer ica, India and Africa, squads of trap pers searched the forests, jungles and everglades in search of curiosities. In Africa the chieftans of several savage tribes were induced to leave their peo- pie behind and help to entertain the United States. Also a great many curi- ous specimens of animal life fell Into the nets of the expedition. In India a capture was made in a single day that was worth it's weight in gold. It was Darwin, the missing link. He meets every requirement of the missing sec ton of the Darwinian chain. In fact he is so much like human that with out any coaching whatever he has adopted the habits and the clothing of man. lie lnSlStS on dining at a IaDle with a full table equipment He even carries a watch. He lives in a house.
 From early last fall up to the first thaws of spring an army of Italian and French artists and property builders worked night and day in the foreign workshops of the show at Stoke-on- Trent, England, devising and building the new equipment which Is this year displayed free upon the streets of ev- cry city visited. It is the grandest spectacle ever presented by circus It costs enough money to buy any other show. It Is a pictorial history of the world. peopled with 12S0 men, women and children from every cor ner of the earth.
 This wonderful organization Is hauled from town to town on S5 O. foot railroad cars, making a train over a mile in length. The train Is divided in five sections. The daily expenses of the show are $7500. There are $50 horses, 1000 wild animals. It takes IA acres of canvas to house this big family.

She had been to many doctors and visited many cities trying to get relief for her boy and, hearing of the great cures performed by Electro-Radic she came to Duluth the last resort to find q cure for her son.

Wallace Evans, Chicago Man Will
Address State Fair Visitors

. y. sres
Des Moines, Aug. 24.-If Wallace
Evans of Oak Park, near Chicago, can
talk to sufficient number Of the
state fair visitors next week, he will
put into Iowa farmers an enthusiasm
for propagation and protection OF
game birds that will make of Iowa a
paradise for the hunters In few
years Mr.. Evans is engaged In bird
breeding and he will furnish the
pheasants and other birds for the big
bird and fish exhibit at the fair. TT
has been demonstrated" he says
that the Hungarian pheasant and the
ring necked partridge are the only two
game birds that will thrive tn a
thickly populated country. The prairie
chicken and quail will do fine where
there Is abundance of prairie or heath,
but we have none. The partridge and
pheasant are the best game birds IN
existence. They are valuable to the
farmer. also, for they eat vast guam:
titles of insects and prefer weed seed
to good grain. We will show these
birds to the Iowa farmers and send
them direct from this preserve to the
farmers who can show they are pre-
pared to care for them. This idea OF
interesting farmers directly Is a fine
one, It is new with Mr.. Lincoln and
he deserves all credit. II you get the
farmers to take interest. in the mat
ter the rest will be easy"
