Features Too Numerous to Mention,

Cole Bros Trained Wild Animal
Show will exhibit at Brownsville on
Saturday, September 21, rain or shine.
There Is a fascination about a

In our childhood days the blare of the
band. the gaudily painted wagons, the
animals. the funny clowns, left an i'm
preston on the mind that remained
there as long as life lasts.
When old age comes and circus
is billed, tottering steps are directed
to the route of parade, or to the circus
grounds. There is not the delight
there that came in the days of youth
but there are the memories that come
that count so much.
Young and old rich or poor, all well
come the big circus. It Is an Ameri-
can institution that is popular. The
lemonade and the peanuts never tast-
ed so good as they do on the show lot.
Other pleasures may become monoto-
nous but the glamour Of the tented
arena never fades.
Cole Bros. Trained Wild Animal
show is an old institution, that has
pleased millions of people for many
years. This year it comes to us big
ger, grander than ever. Bringing
with it galaxy of beautifully cos
tuned male and female performers,
wild and domestic animals Of all spe-
cies, gathered from all parts of the
word. Clowns, those merry fun-mak-
ers, which we enjoyed so immensely

premier of them all Chas. E. Post.
It is worth any mans time to come
for miles to see Trainer Cheerful Gard
ner and his group Of wonderfully
trained elephants.

just ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and Is
better than the most expensive soap or
anything else you can use.
