The announcements of the Sells

aries. there are other expenses and
many of them.
It costs a quarter of a million dol
lars to outfit menagerie like that OF
the Sells F'loto circus Changes are,
being made constantly. and whenever
an animal dies or is killed through ac-
cilents, it means loss of from $500
to $1,000. The railroad equipment of
the show cost more than 100000,
while the horses and their decorations
cost as much more.
Then there is the cost of feeding

one half carcasses of beef for the car
nivarious animals, and TOO pounds OF
