The big circus is almost here.
Tomorrow morning in the small
hours just before dawn four long red
and yellow trains, made up of Sc cars
will roll quietly into Topeka. corning
from St. Joseph over the Rock Island
railroad. They will be unloaded in the
railroad yards at Topeka avenue and
within a few short hours the big aggre-
CATION of world wonders which COM
prises Ringing Brothers worlds
greatest shows will be safely sheltered
under some fourteen acres of white
canvas on the show grounds which for
the single day will be located at the
fair grounds
If a preliminary agreement between
H l. Cook, secretary of the state FAR
association, and representatives of the
Ringing management. is carried out,
the show will be held on the state fair
grounds where it is believed ample
room can be found just west of the
main driveway to the grandstand- Sec
rotary Cook is not anxious to turn
over the grounds to the circus fearing
that the wear and tear on the flats
will be detrimental to the coming state
attraction in September. Realizing that
the original location of the Ringing
circus east of the Topeka cemetery
would be out of reach of Il greater
part of the city, he consented this af-
ternoon to allow the show on the fair
grounds unCeF certain Weather cOifui-
lions.
But now for a little cold water
not rain-just plain remorse in the
form of a liquid that dampens height
ened spirits. There is a chance that
the Ringing boys will cart their tents,
animals and richly decorated wagons
out east of the city beyond the Topeka
emetery-twenty-fiVe blocks away
from Kansas avenue and far away
from adequate street car service.
Howard Patten. superintendent of
the Topeka Railway company, said
this afternoon that the location of the
circus tents beyond the cemetery
would be one of the poorest portions
of the city for street car service
We have only the one line out
there" he said. This is single track
to the terminal with few facilities for
the storage of extra cars. To handle
10000 persons right out of a circus
performance would be nearly an i'm
possibility without considerable delay
in transportation"

ATTEND |. C. C. SESSION
Attorneys for Utilities Commission Go
to Kansas City.

Judge A. E. Helm and George Flesh
man went to Kansas City today, where
they will represent the Kansas public
utilities commission in the hearings be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission. Both the KdnSas-Californla
flour rate case and the Kansas-Iowa
brick rate case will be presented dur
ing the Kansas City hearing
In the flour case, Kansas shippers are
demanding reduction in the rates on
Kansas -four to California points on the
allegation that the existing rates are
discriminatory against Kansas millers.
The brick case involves rates from
southern Kansas brick towns to Iowa
points. In this case it is charged that
the present rates are too high in COM
parison with rates on other commod1-
ties between the same points. The
Kansas City hearing probably Will oc-
cupy the attention of the interstate
commerce commission for two or three
DAYS.

keep the sidewalk spectators in a good
humor. A striking feature of the pro-
cession will be the long line of ele-
plants, thirty in all, and, a team of
sixteen camels, broken to bit and har-
ness the same as horses. These beasts
draw huge parade wagon through the
streets and this is the first instance on
record where the ship of the desert"

gram this season.

city this evening to do his marketing.

starts out in the spring to contract for
supplies in the various towns in which
the big circus is to show he has spe-
cial instructions to buy bread wher-
ever possible from the ''Butter-Nut''
bakeries.
You know 'Butter-Nut' Bread is
made from a special formula which
has pleased the palates of thousands
of people all over the country, and
the circus people are strong for it.
So as the advance man crosses the
country from New York to San Fran
cisco, and from Seattle to Key West,
he always asks if there is a Butter
Nut Bakery in each town in which
he stops. and if there is that's the
bakery that gets the bread contract.
In most places he could get other
bread for less money than he has to
pay for "Butter-Nut," but when the
health of highly paid performers is al
ways in mind, Ringlings' man is on
the lookout for what is best. And
when the 1900 people with the circus
eat their meals tomorrow, the bread
will be "Butter-Nut'' made by the
Ideal Bakery.
