John Robinson's. Circus Cohes Here

Large crowds doubtless will visit Brat

John Robinson's Circus on that date.
The big show is prolific with unusual
features this year. For many years John
Robinsons Circus has lived up to it's
pretentions and as for money 8 worth no
one can declare that Robinson's does
not give him that, and a great deal more,
no matter how far one travels to see
it.
Such bravery of spectacle, glow and flow

imagined by those who have never wit.
messed this wonderful exhibition. The
feats in the air, the variety and beauty OF
costumes, the balancing and lofty tum
bling, the grace and 81 jill Of horsemen, the
marvellous native and trained wild ami
mails, the comicalities of the clowns, speed
tournaments, the .colorful pageants, should
attract almost the entire surrounding
country to both performances
The show this year requires four spe
cial trains to transport it from city to city
and the street parade, which is given il
four distinct sections, is declared to b;
a revelation in professional grandeur. ane
will reach the principal thoroughfare
around IL a. m.
The performances are scheduled to be

new INTERNATIONAL
PRESIDENT VETERAN
"Sage Of Auburn" Has Been Con.
nected With Game Many
Years.
Served Long and Faithfully 40 seere-
tary OF National Association OF
Professional Baseball Cube
Has Wide Scope.

John II. Farrell. the new president
of the International league, is some
thing OF baseball genius.
The Sage of Auburn" is real vet.
cran In the game. for he has been con-
nected with baseball for many years
and there isn't an angle Of the pastlme,
which Is unfamiliar to him.
AS secretary of the National Associ.
ntion Of Professional Baseball Clubs,
Farrell has served long and faithfully.
Many time his sage advice has
served as prop to tottering minor
league, and with Mike Sexton, the ven.
cradle president of the minor league
body, Farrell has been a godsend to
the minors.
When the club owners Of the dis
rupted International league decided to
reorganlze their circuit this spring the
first important thing they set out to
do was to find man capable of TAX
Ing charge Of affairs for them. They
did not look far, but when the berth
was rendered to Farrell 1t was done so
with n forebodlng that he would. not
accept. His decision to take over the
affairs of the league as its president
put new life into the war-weary club
owners and the International league
was saved to baseball.
BY merging the International with
the New York State league. of which
Farrell was president, the circuit was
made more compact than ever before
and the best paying cities In both
leagues now make up the new organl-
cation. Farrell now has a wider scope
to display his baseball ability. That
he viii pull the new league through
and eventually put II on a firm basis
Is a practical certainty, for Farrell
doesn't know what the word "can't"
means.
NO man In the pastime knows more
ball players than Farrell. He has the
name of every ball player in the minor
leagues at his finger tips, and he
knows all about every man Jack of
them. As president of the New York
State league he dug up many promis-
Ing players for his club owners. His
league produced such stars as Eddie
Murphy, Wallie Pipp, Grover .Cleve-
land Alexander. Frank Schultz Heinie
Zimmerman. Leon Galore. Jack Ora
ney. John Evers, Fred COumbe, Leon
Ames, BIZ Hinchman and Steve
O'Nelll.

Teach Children Thrift.

Thrift Is very important element
In character. Those who learn to be
economical in youth have no difficult
ties when they are responsible for the
Income necessary to maintain home.
1t Is the man or woman that allows
want to dominate and lives beyond
the incope that has difficulties when
the income is small. Children should
be taught economy and thrift early in
life. They should be given a chance
to earn and a chance to use their
earnings. This will give them respOn-
sibilfty and teach them the worth Of
money.
