Great Performing Lions to
be Seen Here Soon.

There are some wonderful lions
with The Sparks Worlds Famous
Shows that will exhibit here Sat
urday, May 8, at the Meeker cir
Gus grounds. They are not only
of amazing size and beauty. but
they have been trained to do some
of the most thrilling acts ever
presented to an audience. Herr
Fritz Brunner, the worlds greet
est lion tanner, was born and
raised in the jungles of equator
ial Africa, and from childhood
was accustomed to hear the roars
of the man-eating kings Of the
forests that prowled about his
cabin at night. His father once
captured some lion cubs which he
trained to aid him in his hunting
expe ditions. Thus reared t h e
boy naturally became a lion tanner
and hunter. Selecting some cubs
of the largest species known, he
reared them and educated them
to perform feats that would Illus
trate the amazing strength and
agility of these beasts.
During the performance of The
Sparks Shows a group of these
monster animals will be turned
loose in the great steel enclosure
in full view of the audience.
Herr Drummer will enter this en-
closure. unarmed, and put. these
lions through some astonishing
performances. 1t is the most
thrilling act of the kind ever seen
and will never be forgotten by
the beholder.
Like every other act and feat
ure presented with The Sparks
Shows it is far away from and
superior to anything OF the kind
ever seen before. There are nu-
merous other trained animal acts
in which tigers, leopards, hyenas,
tremendous elephants, etc., will
obey the commands of their fear
less masters.

Swat the Fly Before It
Flies.

A great deal has been said and
written during the last few years
about 1y.swatting campaigns. 1t
is generally recognized that a
very large part, probably 95 per
cent, of all house flies are hatch
-
ed in collections of manure, es.
pecially horse manure. It is ve-
ry important, therefore, that all
manure be hauled to the. fields
and the stables kept free from
collections of manure during the
spring and summer months at
least. This involves no hardship
on farmers, because by spread
ing the fresh manure directly
they save all the most valuable
fertilizing elements and by so do
ing swat the flies before they be-
come flies.
Swatting the flies and using
fly traps are useful in that they
lessen the number of annoying
flies, but their use is like giVinl
medicine to relieve painful symr
toms of a disease. We shoulC
treat, not the symptoms, but tn,
disease itself. To treat the dis
ease we must prevent the file
from breeding.
