Y. M. C. A. BOYS
in CIRCUS STUNTS

The amateur circus of the physical
department Of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association promises to be an in
noyation in the way Of local gymna-
SUM entertainments. The members
Of the association have been practic-
ing faithfully for their various parts
and only the finishing touches remain
TO be put ON, and the circus will be
ready for the public. A troupe of
tumblers is busy rehearsing their
stunts, while other athletes and gym
nasts are putting the finishing touches
TO their acts and all It will take will
be the spangles and paint and the
ringmaster can crack his whip for the
shown TO begin. Bandmaster Harry
Mock had the famous musicians which
make up his concert military band out
for final rehearsal on Thursday
night and such music would be a
treat for the famous Susie and her
Military Band"
The clowns will have three more
rehearsals before they make their in
itial bow TO the public. A big fea-
ture with the funny clowns will be
"Shivers" in his great "Photagraft-
ing" stunt which has to be seen to
be appreciated. The Indians with the
circus will put on a great spectacular
War Dance" which is said to be a
thriller. A real novelty on dry land
will be the Sailors Hornpipe," a
spectacular gymnastic dance. One Of
the biggest features in the Six Paw
Shows is Master Harold Taylor in
two-folk dances, THE Russian Dance"
and The Scotch Broad Sword Dance" "
This last dance is very difficult to per-
form and is danced over two danger
ously sharp, crossed swords.

TANKAGE FOR hOGS

There is nothing about good tank
age or meat that is in any way in
furious to hogs of any ages II con-
tains upward Of so per cent protein
and for that reason 1t answers a most
important function In the animal
economy. II is an ideal feed to use
with corn, and is highly palatable 1t
need not be fed in large quantities,
one part Of tankage to 10 parts corn
being very satisfactory ration.
Tankage can be procured from any
Of the big packing houses or their
agents, and in most States it Is in
spected and analysed by the State
chemist and the analysis marked on
the bags | have fed tanlSage to hogs
of all ages for the last twelve years,
and with the best results in every
case, With the high cost of feed,
little tankage added TO the ration Of
hogs every day will pay big. The cost
of feeding tanking seems to increase
every year. and | think it will pay all
who can use it to do SO, while the
price is as reasonable as it is, con-
sidering it's protein contents compared
with other feeds.
/ have never had sows eat pigs at
narrowing time, when they were fed
small quantity Of tankage daily, before
narrowing. II is we'll to be careful,
and not give them more than one part
tankage TO 10 parts Of other feeds at
this time. unless they have eaten their
litters at previous farrOwings.
/ like tankage better when fed in
slop with feeds other than corn every
morning and car corn fed in the even
ing. Nothing Is better than a warm
slop during the winter months. II Is
hard to get hogs 10 drink all the water
their systems require during the win
ter. and If they are given all the warm
slop they will drink they Will do much
better than without It, While, per-
sonally, like to feed tankage IN slop
better than when fed dry. it can be
fed on the ground during the summer
months in small quantities with salt,
or with any other condiment, with
good results. Salt seems to add
greatly to the palatability of tankage,
whether fed dry or on slop. J. IL.

OLD FRIENDS MARRY AT
SAME HOUR ON SAME DAY

Chancellor Charles NJ. Curtis and
Ohio Nowland, in the bachelor days
OF their friendship, once thought to
surprise each other with the an
nouncement~of their forthcoming we'd
ding. The announcement was more
of a surprise than either had counted
upon, because by a strange coinci-
dence, both weddings had been plan
ned for March 81, at 5 o'clock in the
afternoon. Chancellor and Mrs. Curtis
and Mr.. and Mrs. Nowland, appropri-
ately to this coincidence, aud because
of the close friendship of both fami-
lies, have customarily celebrated their
wedding anniversaries together.
Yesterday was the silver ami
yersary. but owing to the recent death
of Chancellor Curtis brother, Chan
cellor and Mrs. Curtis spent the day
quietly at home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nowland entertained
twenty-five guests at a dinner at the
Country Club last evening, in honor
of the day.

If YOU
ARE FOOLED TODAY
For This is April / the Day for
the Practical
Joker

This is All Fools Day, when, accord
ing TO the custom which has prevailed
for many years in this country and for
centuries I'm European countries, it will
be the proper thing to send persons on
fools errands or otherwise make them
victims Of practical jokes. Even wise
man may be fooled today and granting
II does not exactly please TO find one
self the subject OF a practical joke, as
Charles Lamb would say about All
Fools Day, "Never frown, man, nor
put long face upon the matter" The
man who gets angry today upon fail
ing to pick up seemingly well-filled
purse, or upon smoking a "loaded"
cigar, will succeed admirably in max
ing himself ludicrOus.
Should anyone object to being called
a fool, he or she may have his or her
choice of being called "un poisson
d'Avril," which is French and which
means "an April fish" Possibly the
French call their fools fish, as fish
sometimes bite easily and sometimes
one fishes for suckers. Then, too. there
is that species of fish called lobster,
which corresponds to a certain bit OF
American slang. In Scotland the victim
OF April fool tricks is nothing less
than "gowk" or a cuckoo"
All Fools Day is said to have had
its origin in the miracle play which
about Easter time showed, among
other things, the sending of the Christ
from Ananias to Caiaphas, and from
Plate to Herod. To share in a measure
the humiliation suffered by the Sa-
viour upon that occasion the custom
of everybody fooling and so humiliat-
ing everybody else sprung into prac-
tice
Another origin for All Fool Day is
found in the pagan Hull festival, where
similar tricks were played The festi-
val was observed by the Hindus on
March 81. The Feast of Fools was held
by the Romans on February IL.
While the April fool cigar is common
enough to make the wary think twice
before accepting a smoke from
friend. yet there is the April fool candy
which the girlies cannot always find
IL possible to guard against. One down.
town store has attracted lots Of at
tention in the last few days by dis
playing in the window what appears to
be bundles of newspapers ready for
mailing. In reality the newspapers
conceal a box of candy cleverly ar
ranged. The candies are the kind that
do or do not fool, as the purchaser de-
cides.
