Barnum 6 Bailey's Street Pageant
Is Three Miles i'm Length

One million dollars worth OF
wagons, animals, costumes and in
struments will be seen in the streets
in one long procession when the Bar
mum & Bailey circus comes to town
May 21st.
That is the amount of money the
management of the circus has ex-
pended this year on their wonder
full new parade. which is declared to
be entirely different from any cir
Gus professions of previous years.
Some idea of the magnitude of
this wonderful cavalcade may be
had from the fact that it stretches
out exactly three miles in length
and includes more than 100 animal
cages, floats, tableau wagons and
allegorical cars, all of the newest
and most elaborate design. and en-
tirely different from anything used
heretofore. More than 1900 per-
sons take part in the procession, as
we'll as 700 horses, Al elephants, and
all of the menagerie animals dis
played in open dens.
The floats and tableau wagons are
filled with pretty dancing girls in
gay costumes, representing different
nationalities of the world and the
parade stretches out like a great,
gorgeous panorama of the universe.
Continuous melody is supplied by six
bands and three calliopes, and the
spectators are kept in good humor

COTTON CROP IS Y

YIELD OF 12,653,0 BALES INDI-
GATED BY REPORTS OF
JULY 26.

Memphis, July 29.-The condition
OF the growing crop is 72 per cent of
normal, according to reports from all
parts Of the belt, of average date of
July 26. This compares with a con
dition of 70.1 on June rs and 70.3
the official government figures for
the same date. Last year the official
figures of July 25 were 1928 and the
average of the past ten years on this
date has been TIA.
The condition of ~ per cent indi-
Gates yield of 1858, 900 bales. ac-
cording to the governments method
of calculating, provided weather con.
ditions are normal for the remainder
of the season.
The Improvement In this crop has
resulted largely from good rains over
the entire belt in the last half of the
month. However, the rains did some
damage by reason of their excess in
many localities, and the entire state
of North Carolina reports a consider
able impaired condition as a result of
the heavy, almost incessant rains for
two weeks. Texas also shows slight
retrogression in the crop status as
result of drouth over the state during
the first half of the month, and over
the Southern and Western sections
up to the date of the filing of these
reports. There has been some scat
tered relief in these sections, but it
has been only partial. In the North
and East the crop is improving at the
moment as result of plenty of mois-
ture in the soil and good growing
weather conditions.
Elsewhere, improvement has been
general, at its greatest gains in the
Central valley.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Restore Color, Gloss
and Attractiveness

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray. Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for 'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get large bottle of this famous old
recipe. improved by the addition of other
ingredients, for about so cents.
Don't stay grayl Try it'll No one
can possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire dark hair and youthful APP

LESS MEAT If BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take glass of Salts to fiush Kidneys
ii Bladder bothers you-Drink
Lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts OF
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
fiush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean. thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

WILSON UNDER
STANDS TIE SITUATION

The National American Woman
Suffrage Association with its two
llion members was the first organi-
cation of women to offer their servi-
ces to the Government in the event of
war. This was done by their repre-
sentatives in Washington during the
month of February when break with
Germany seemed imminent, and the
offer was accepted by letters from
the President of the United States and
the Secretary of war. Since that
time they have been active in every
state in food conservation, thrift,el-
limitation of waste, Red Cross Work,
the sale of Liberty Bonds and census
taking. The Woman Suffrage Party
of New York took entire charge of
the military registration. The Little
Rock suffragists gave every man who
registered copy of President Will
sons speech that they might know
why the country sorely needed them.
They stand ready to serve in any way
possible. and the Government has re-
cognized them by making the best
known suffargists in the country. DR..
