Just about the busiest people in the
ity yesterday were the members of
he big Sells Floto Circus family, the
,reat trains reaching this city during
he early morning hours, after the
.ircus had played one performance
saturday at Yuma, Ariz.
Scarcely had the long cars been
tpotted when they were unloaded and
re many hours the Sells-Floto City
+ White Tents had been built" with
he exception of the big top" which
5 never raised on Sundays.
Quite large number of residents
f the city visited the new addition to
q Centro during the afternoon hours,
and great interest was taken by all.
This was especially true regarding the
ladies whose attention was attracted
to the large dining hall and cooking
of the Hotel d. Sells-Floto.
Here the white capped cooks were
working over the great ranges ana the
steam tables, and it was at this place
the ladies of the city took many a
look.
Many wonder just how the circus
people spent their day of rest in Ell
Centre.
We'll, just about like the average
7erson," said one of the circus men
dis morning. "Some Of them stay
around the lot most of the day; others
bend their time at the cars, and still
Tiers go to the hotels and spend the
afternoon and evenidng."

Some of the Performers Emerge From Baths-How the
People Of Circus Live Told Graphically by Pub
Ecity Man of Biggest Show Earth.

Many amusing incidents were re-
lated among the circus folk yesterday,
as the earthquake shock Sunday after
noon was the first most of them have
ever experienced. Several Of The folks
were at the Barbara Worth, when the
"tremors" came and there were many
of them in their private baths at the
time. 1t might be SAID that before the
second "tremor" was felt most of the
show people appeared in the corrl-
dorsand the lobby, and IN every case
they were observing very strictly the
Hooverized idea of clothing.
But the animals under the great
canvas tops did not mind the shocks
as they are so used to shaking up on
the trains during their seasons tour
that they were unconcerned.
The shows this year, the first time
since 1915, are playing California ter
Yitory, and it is expected they will
tour all along the Pacific Coast, and
{ gain into the Southwest before the
aason comes to close.
Henry B. Gentry, well known by
about everyone that ever saw a circus
performance on account of his being
ut the head of the Gentry Brothers
Dog and Pony Show for many years,
is now president and general manager
of the big amusement institution and
lie has promised to give the very best
'e has in the way of amusement for
Il ages.

The regulations governing COM

Acting Collector Brown at this point
Yesterday received telegram from
Collector Elliott, instructing him as
follows:
GAS telephone communication
with Mexico is now officially dis
continued, you will henceforth en-
force provisions of the Espionage
act regarding the transmission Of
all written and printed communi-
cations, outside the United States
mails, with utmost strictnex. Re-
cuire every person crossing the
border to state whether they are
carrying any such communication
and make whatever personal
search may be necessary. You
will, of course, give the public
reasonable opportunity to become
familiar with this ruling before
taking drastic steps, but no COM
munications, outside the United
States mails, shall be allowed to
cross the border without being
presented at the custom house"
Deputy Brown stated that he would
! carry out the instructions, but tina
due time would be allowed for peopl'
to learn the new ruling. He suggested
that all mail being sent over from
ranchers and others in Mexico be lef
unsealed, so that it may be examine

full and am feeling fine. Have

thing given me. The food is ex-
cellent and between meals have
fruit of different kind and lemon
ade served. The treatment re-
ceived in the hospital is the best
possible, and the Red Cross nurses
are sure angels.
The army life is fine for any
young man. They have an OPP
portunity of learning things that
will be useful to them after the
war is over. They even learn to
perform all kind of house work,
and my advice to girls is to wait
and marry the soldier boys, then
all you will have to do will be to
read and take life easy.
The Y. M. c. A. man has Civ
