presented to the public this year
will be Cole Bros Big World-tour

OF notable artists brought direct
from Europe, and all absolutely
new to American audiences.
The show is spic and span and
the long line of steel traips owned
by the management will carry an
aggregation of the foremost artists
of the world, and the largest COLI
lection of wild animals in captiv-

One whirl of ever changing
surprises in which hundreds of
persons take part, will embrace
new features never before pre-
sented by travelling show.
AS an innovation the Cole Bros
will introduce an Amazon Ballet
of the worlds most graceful dan
GERS. These exquisitely formed
young women, fresh from their
Partisan triumphs appear as if
moulded by the sculptor's art.
They are grace personitied, and 10

alluring specimens of feminine
beauty. Miss Lrma Clare, a statu-
esque beauty who represents
"Peace' in the statues of the
Nymphs has won the prize for the
most perfectly formed woman in
Continental Europe.
Hundreds of high class acts are
offered in the arena, and the wild

By giving the Nogales- Benson
train mail clerk the Post Office
Department can remedy the con-
gestion, and enable the business
men of Nogales to handle their
correspondence to better advan'
tage. Much of the mail coming to
Nogales passes Tucson and Benson
at hours that would enable it to
be sent to Nogales the same day,
arriving at evening, instead of lay
ing over night at Tucson and COM
ing to Nogales late in the forenoon.
Then it could be distributed and
delivered early in the morning, so
that letters that needed prompt an

noon trainr That would take off
from the postoffice force much of
the distribution they have to do
now after the arrival of the mail
from Tucson, and enable them to
get that out earlier to the parties

Then all the outgoing letters that

rect to Tucson. In other words.

and making up outgoing mails In
the Nogales postoffice would be
spread out over the entire day in
stead of being confined to three
hours at noon, and the Line City
would enjoy the advantage of two
daily mails instead of one.
And beyond all that, Patagonia,
Elgin, Sonoita, and the regions
tributary would enjoy better mail
facilities than those given now.
It is to be hoped that success
will attend the effort of the Cham
Der of Commerce to accomplish
