BUTTER And EGGS
MT TOGO HIGHER
Hoover Has Plan to Keep
Produce Prices From
Soaring.

Wsshinetcn, Oct. 5.-Elow about
butter aud eggs?
These are the questions every house
wife is asking Butter and eggs con-
stitute sort of fixed charge against
the table, an index by which the
housewife guages her expenses.
To answer the last question first,
Hoover is going TO Go something
about it.
Present prices are high both be-
cause there is shortage in production
and an increased demand, and also
because butter and eggs followed the
general upward foodstuffs movement
while congress was squabbling over
food control.
The butter shortage is shown by
the fact that in spite Of the high prices
which would tend to restrict con-
sumption, 10 per cent less butter has
gone into storage more than a year
ago. Also, storage eggs Sept. were
only 3 per cent ahead Of the same
date, 1915.
But the food administration believes
butter and egg prices can be regulat-
ed so as to prevent any considerable
further advance during the winter.
The plan has been decided upon and
it is hoped to have the system in OPP
Grafton soon.

A TOWER OF BABEL
The Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace
Is One Of the Largest Cir
Gus Organizations in
the World.

Circus life is not without its reward.
The work is hard, but the life is in
the open. The fields and the trees
are green. The skies distil health for
all nature. Husbands, wives, sons,
daughters, uncles and aunts travel
together. Like the snail, they take
their homes around with them. These
homes are the sleeping cars. NeceS-
sariy they are modest in space, but
they are made TO bloom cheerily | y
"a genuine domestic pride.
The most wonderful circus in the
world is the Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace
Shows. II is a Tower of Babel. The
employees, numbering about LOCO,
speak almost every language under
the sun. The social side OF this big
family is interesting. There are card
clubs, a woman's club, clown society,
cosmopolitan club and baseball team.
The feminine touch of refinement
is to be seen about the living parts of
the circus tents, as well as in the cars.
The dressing tents have no hard
wood floors, but soft carpets are
spread over the grass and on these
each artist gathers her little party.
The cosmopolitan club was started
last season. Very few of its men,
bers speak English and they stumbled
helplessly. 1t is polyglot crowd,
far from home and needing such fell
lowship. AT present they are learn
ing to speak English under the guild
ance Of little American rider.
There are fifty children with the
show. Many are the sons and daugh-
tiers of performers; in sense born to
the business, Others are the children
of relatives. Some are apprenticed.
The boys and girls go to the circus
school and study with greater zest
because of splendid physical health
and six months separation from
school routine. Their teachers are
furnished by the management.
When this big show comes to Hop
kinsville, Wednesday, Oct. II, the
first thing that will be noted is its vast
improvement. From its first day of
its existence it has grown rapidly
year after year, but never before
has it shown such progress as in the.
recent years. In every large city in
the world the Carl Hagenbeck-W Wallace
Circus maintains an Office. In every
Jungle, forest and everglade trappers
are on the constant hunt. Thus nov
elites are assured. II matters not
what the cost may be, anything that
is curious and interesting, and any
performer whose methods are novel
are secured at once.
The performance Of the Car Hagen
beck Wallace Circus this year is divid-
ed into two departments: one is the ia
nous Carl Hagenbeck's animal show,
where several hundred animals per-
form almost human stunts. There
are educated elephants, three herds
of them, seals, monkeys, lions, polar
bears, leopards, royal Bengal tigers,
etc , etc. In the circus department
there = the great Wallace Show with
its 400 lists, among the most famous
of whom is Herr Ritter, who slides

! the summit Of lofty pole; the six
