Children Taken To

BARNES CIRCUS
AMAZINGLY GREAT
Coming to Minneapolis July 20 and 80
Largest and Only Genuine Wild
Animal Circus in the World-1 900
Educated AnimaIs-65 Sensational
Acts and Features.

THE Show That's Different" is a
term given by many prominent critics
to the Al. G. Barnes Four-Ring Wild
Animal Circus. Just why this show
is different can be understood when
it is known that the program pre-
scented completely upsets the conven-
tional in circusdom, for the reason
that the entire entertainment is given
by educated wild and domestic ami
mails.
Over 1000 of these animal-actors
are comprised in the Barnes troupe.
The animals do everything that the
human circus performer has been do
ing. Juggling, balancing, high jump
ing and diving, acrobatics, posing,
dances, drills, ball playing, bareback
riding, tumbling, ETC., are part of
the things they do. Their proficiency
is remarkable sight to witness. The
Barnes Circus also bears the distinc-
ton of being the original and largest
wild animal show in the world. The
cleanliness and moral tenor of it's en-
tertainment and business conduct
likewise add to the reasons of why
the show is different"
Unusual indeed are the big wild ami
NAL acts. Tom, Jerry and Brutus
horse riding African lions, are very
remarkable example of wild animal
training. Sampson, the aviation lion,
rides to the top of the tent surrounded
by shooting sky rockets. A large
group of seals and sea lions do mar
velous feats of juggling and bareback
riding. Mile. Florine, a spritely young
woman, presents a group of ferocious
leopards, jaguars and pumas. Miss
Mabel Stark appears with a troupe of
man-eating Royal Bengal and Siberian
tigers. Big Bill, the wrestling grizzly
is another sensation; also the large
group of performing bears.
The thirty jungle-bred, full-grown
African lions shown i'll one act by
Herr Louie Roth comprise the great
est and most thrilling wild animal
spectacle ever known. Herr Roth en-
tiers the arena alone with these great
beasts, and makes each one perform

''M0LDAVlA"
VICTIM WELL
KNOWN HERE
George D. Roosalis Has
Near Relatives in Grand
Forks.

Among the names given on the list
of American soldiers missing after
the %torpedoing of the British armed
merchant troop ship, Moldavia, is that
rof George u. BoosaIis OF Fargo, Who
has been in this city on various oc-
casions, and whose cousins, Theodore
and George Boosalis, are engaged in
business here. -
At the Boosalis confectionery store
George D. had been drafted into the
United States national army, probably
a year ago, and that in the beginning
of May word was received here to
the effect that he a left New York
for France. In the absence of spe-
cific information it was thought that
George D. Boosalis. together with
other American soldiers, had reached
England safely and had been waiting
there for transportation to France.
The missing North Dakota soldier
was here some time last yea and
was interested in local confectionery
business for a few weeks, either in
May or June. His parents are living
in Greece, and it was assumed that
they have been notified by the Amer
lean war department about the fate
of their son.
The fact that he is listed as miss
ing does not necessarily mean that
young Boosalis has been killed in the
explosion or. drowned Immediately
after; there is still a possibility that
he. as we'll as others that have been
reported missing. have been picked
up. by rescue steamers and been land
ed at ports whence no reports have
come at this time. But Is the sink
ing Of the Moldavia occurred more
than 48 hours ago. it was considered
likely. on the other hand, that def
mite reports might have been receiv-
ed in the case that Boosalis had been
rescued and landed.
A brother of George D. Boosalis is
running the Arcadia candy store at
Fargo.
