SUN BROTHERS. CIRCUS

Not content with giving the Ameri-
can public one of the best all around
performances each season, the Sun
Brothers shows have recently added
to their already fine show, a complete
trained wild animal tourney. This
comprises a score of amazing dumb
actors of all kinds, including ele-
plants, lions, tigers, kangaroos, ba-
boons, leopards, camels, dromedaries,
sea lions, etc. No woman, man or
child can afford to miss this wonder
full display of animal subjugation.
These animals are wonderfully trained
and the power of kindness was never
more surely or splendidly illustrated
The Sun Brothers shows will ex-
hibit at Tarpon Springs Tuesday, De-
cember IL, giving two complete per-
formances afternoon and night. The
much advertised free exhibitions will
be offered for review on the show
grounds at 1890 p. m.

Villa Moving Northward

FL Paso, Tex, Nov. 28.-According
to dispatch from General Trevino
received by General Gonzales at Jau-
rez, Villa is moving northward from
Chihuahua City. Gonzales has been
ordered to concentrate his forces at
Jaurez.
Later reports from Chihuahua City
confirm earlier news that Villa has
captured Chihuahua City and is in full
control of the city, which General
Trevino abandoned and who is now
proceeding southwark. Trevino said
that after effecting a junction with
General Murguia he would return and
recapture Chihuahua.
The message from General Trevino
was sent in code from Suaz by way
of Ojinaga, opposite Preside, Texas,
where it was relayed. 1t said, accord
ing to Carranza officials, that Villa
was moving north and ordered the de-
tached garrisons along this section OF
the front on the Mexican Northwest
ern line to concentrate in Jaurez.
Was Fifth Day of Attacks
The capture of Chihuahua was eff
fected on the fifth day of the Villa
attacks. Apprehension is expressed
in Jaurez that the five days of fighting
had seriously reduced the stores of
the Chihuahua arsenal, especially in
regard to shells, as General Trevino,
from reports, relied heavily on artil-
lery in his plan of defense.
A number of military passes were
issued in Jaurez to timid residents
wishing to stay in Ell Paso until tine
crisis passed.
Carranza officers say they expect
to take the field under the command
of General Gonzales against the Villa
forces believed to be moving north
ward
Fleeing Toward Ojinaga
San Antonio, Tex, Nov. 28.-Gen-
eral Trevino and his staff are fleeing
toward Ojinaga, leaving Chihuahua
City in possession of Francisco Villa,
according to reports today to General
Funston. General Funston believes
that the reports of Villas capture of
Chihuahua and the fleeing of Trevino
are authentic.

GOOD ROADS HELP
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
AND BETTER OUR
SOCIAL COND|T'N

In Wise county, Va, social condi-
tions have been bettered since the
good roads were constructed, many
farmers along the improved highways
having built new homes or improved
old ones, adding sanitary convenience
es. School attendance has increased
materially, but since compulsory at
tendance regulations went into effect
about the time the improved roads
were completed, the influence of the
two factors could not be determined
separately. School consultations have
been made.
Automobile registrations in Frank
lin county, N. Y, increased from 371
before the road improvement in 1912
to 1853 after road improvement in 1914,
and two automobile bus lines connect
ing distant towns in the county were
established as soon as the improved
roads were opened.
There has been a notable stimula-
ton of dairying and general diversi-
fcation on the farms of Dallas county,
Ma, since the Improvement of the
roads of that county.
In the section of Lauderdale county,
Miss, where the most of the roads
have beene improved the school at
tendance increased from 72 per cent
of the enrolment in 1912, just after
the road work started, to 81 per cent
in 1918, after the completion of the
work. Several school consultations
have been effected.
In Manatee county, Fla, which pro-
duces chiefly citrus fruits and vegeta
bles, these products could not be haul

BASKET BALI.
GAME TONIGHT
Clearwater and Tarpon Springs
Teams Come Together for the
Second Time Tonight

Tonight at the grounds at the head
of Pinellas avenue the Clearwater and
Tarpon Springs basket ball teams will
play their second game of the season.
The first was played between these
teams several weeks ago and result
ed in a victory for Tarpon Springs by
a score of 16 to 10. The lineup of
the local team tonight is as follows:
George Fernald, rf; H. Cause, If; M.
Hill, c; Elliot Bigelow, rg; Willard
Cause, lg; substitutes, J. Johnson, O.
L. McGavoc and J. F. Skies.
Owing to the fact that the last game
with Clearwater was closely contest
ed it is anticipated that our boys will
have to Ego some" to keep up their
string of victories.
Saturday night the local team will
take on the team from Key West. This
team is the champion team of the
east coast, and the lovers of basket
ball expect spirited contest.
In order to induce the Key West
team to visit Tarpon Springs for the
match the local team had to guarantee
their expenses, etc., and therefore
tickets will be sold to those who want
to witness the contest. There is but
little doubt, however, that the attend
ance by the lovers of the game will be
such that the local team can make
one hand wash the other.

COUNTY SCHOOL
BOARD TO MAKE
GENERAL TOUR

School teachers and pupils of Pinel-
las county will be alert during next
week when it becomes noised about
that the county board of public in
struction decided at a special meet
ing, held in Clearwater yesterday, to
begin tour of inspection following
the Thanksgiving holiday.
No definite itinerary has been ar
ranged for the obvious reason that
the board desires to see the schools in
their normal condition and without
any special preparations for it's Wis
it. Every school in the county will
be visited before the tour ends and it
is expected that week or more will
be required to complete the trip.
The proposed tour of inspection
which will be made by the board fol-
lows up the recent physical efficien-
cy'' tests, whereby the schools made
out specially prepared score cards as
to the care of grounds, cleanliness of
the surroundings, planting of flowers,
and shade trees, condition of build
ings, etc.
At the meeting yesterday the board
approved the plans for new two
room brick building to be erected at
Wall Springs. Bids for this new
school will be opened on December
II. The estimated cost of the new
building is $4,000.
During the day the board visited
Largo to look over several sites offer
ed for the new agricultural depart
ment for which bonds in the sum of
$4,000 were voted recently by the Lar
go district. Several sites were, looked
over but no decision was reached. 1t
is the intention of the board to buy
twenty acres and equip it for expert
mental work in the agricultural line,
where the youth may be trained in
tilling the soil and the proper care and
cultivation of crops.-St. Petersburg

TWO ZEPPELINs ARE
BROUGHT TO EARTH

London, Nov. 28.-Two Zeppelins
were destroyed by the British during
last nights raid on the northeast coast
of England. The crews undoubtedly
perished. The airships burst into
flames and fell into the sea after be-
ing attacked by British aeroplanes, ac-
'cording TO the official statement of the
admiralty. One of the Zeppelins was
nine miles out at sea on the return
voyage when it fell. The official state
ment says that the casualties and
damage caused by the raid are believ-
ed to be small.

PLAN ABSOLUTE
EMBARGO ON EGGS

New York, Nov, 29.-Cooperative
action by the housewives of America
to combat the moves of the food spec
ulators in an effort to reduce the
prices on the necessities of life is IN
dicated by house to house canvass to
secure an embargo on eggs. This
movement was inaugurated here this
morning and endorsed by the National
Housewives league and by all the city
officials.
1t is planned practically to do away
with the demand for eggs in order to
force the Spectators to offer their
holdings at greatly reduced prices.
Wholesale and retail dealers have APP
proved of this movement as the only
method of defeating the spectators
and getting the prices down to a rea-
sonable point.

WHAT WEATHER
FORECAST MEANS
TO THE FARMER
News That Merely Makes the City
Man Take an Umbrella May Result
in Strenuous Protecting Oper-
ations on Truck Farm and Grove

Washington, D. c., Nov. 29.-Few
city people reading the weather fore
casts in their morning papers realize
the Importance a warning of rain,
snow, frost or high winds may have
for the farmer, fruit grower, or stock
raiser in the country. The message
which causes the city man merely to
debate whether he shall carry an UNI
brella or take his overcoat, when tel
egraphed to country points may be
telephoned instantly from farmer to
farmer as news of the greatest ag-
ricultural Importance. Such a mes
sage over the phone may cause the en-
tire countryside to become a scene of
intensive activity. There is rush
to hay or grain fields to get in the
crop or, in the spring, work like bea-
vers covering young seedlings in the
truck gardens with paper or other
protection from frost, or preparing to
build fires or light smudges in orange
groves. On ranches every available
worker may be dispatched to herd in
sheep or stock to protect them from
storms. To them the message, which
in the city may have foretold only
slight personal discomfort, carries
tidings of conditions which may mean
heavy monetary losses to the unpre-
pared farm or ranch.
On the other hand a forecast pre-
dieting or hot weather for three or
four days to come may send thous-
ands of reapers into the fields to take
advantage Of favorable weather, and,
as if by magic, change thi 'nascape
from one of waving gain Oh grass in
to scene of haycocks, or wheat
sheaves.
The U. S. weather bureau has per-
fected special systems and facilities
for obtaining and disseminating adj
vance weather news adapted to the
protection of growers of many special
crops in different sections of the
country. In connection with the wea-
ther reports received from it's 200
stations and from 4,500 other observa-
tion points, the bureau has establish
ed large number of special stations
