AMUSEMENT
ENTERPRISE,
AL. G. Barnes Big Four Ring
Wild Animal Circus to
Exhibit Here.

Surprising itself in magnifl
cence and brilliancy, the popular
AL. G. Barnes wild animal circus
is slated for a visit to New Iberia
on Wednesday, October 2.
Ever since the organization of
the Barnes Circus % years ago, it
has been the policy of this big
Snowman to present to the public
a clean, clever, wholesome and in.
structive program, made up of
only animal performers. AS a
consequence the rarest and the
most valuable animals of the
world have been assembled, until
now they number more than one
thousand, and each aud every one
has a circus stunt to do.
Barnes owns all of the circus,
there are no rented concessions,
nor rented railroad cars. Piece
by piece the wonderful man as
sembled his now big investment.
The largest single group of lions
in the world are seen under the
Barnes big canvas, thirty of them
Sampson, an immense lion, does
an Art Smith every performance,
soaring to the top of the canvas
surrounded by sizzling firewordks,
and Venus Fashion twice day
faces death from these kings OF
beasts. In one act she puts her
head in the lions monster nav,
and has the same beast take a
strip of raw meat from her naked
lips. Three horse riding lions leap
from the ground unto the backs of
galloping horses, while others are
seen in rare pedestal and posing
acts with other ANIMALS.
A group of Royal Bengal tigers
in the hands of Miss Mabel Stark,
an animal educator of world re.
pute, amaze one with their learn.

bras been taught to such a high

OUR BANK SAVINGS
SAFE UNLESS
GERMANY wins,

There seems to have been a
very insidious propaganda carried
on, obviously by secret agents OF
Germany, to the effect that say
ings banks deposits are to be con
fiscathed. 1t is difficult to believe
that any person in America would
credit such report for an instant
Secretary McAdoo says that the
absurdities of these statements is
manifest, but in order to slIsy the
fears of q few who might be
alarmed by such reports, he re
peats officially that these rumors
are wholly baseless.
There is but one thing that will
in the least put in danger of confis
cation the savings of the American
people, whether deposited 10 saw
ings banks or other banks or in
vested in Liberty Bonds or any
other investments, and that one
thing is German victory. 1t is
not the American Government
that our people should fear, but
the German Government, and with
the American soldiers fighting as
they are in France and the Ameri
can people supporting their Gov
ernment as they are in America,
the American people, their liberty,
their rights, and their savings are
safe.
The United States instead of
cOnfcatiDg or endangeriDg the
savings and other property of it's
people is defending them and
theirs With all the irresistible
might of this fnvincible Republic.

MOBILIZE THE TRUCKS.

TSHE EVENING WORLDS suggestion that trucking facilities in
this city be combined under one direction and operated to
secure the maximum Of regularity and speed in unloading
carr and delivering consignments, offers the first practical plan for
relieving railroad congestion by breaking up blockades of goods at
terminals.
More than that, it offers shippers and consignees a better oppor-
nnty to give the kind Of help that the Federal Director of Railroads
has been trying, by means Of drastic rules and demurragc charges, to
force them to furnish.
At a time when every hour a loaded freight car stands idle at a
terminal adds to the nations traffic troubles, the spectacle OF long
lines of stalled trucks at station or pier-many of them waiting to
take away only a small package or two-speaks of the %stupidest sort
Of %inefhciency.
If all the trucks in this city were modified to move full loads Of
goods from terminals on a plan of first come first filled, trucking
service to be paid for on the basis Of capacity and charged to the con-
sgnee, terminal blockades could be quickly cleared up and the rail.
roads extricated from IN Of their worst difficulties.
Because Of bad weather intensfying congestion and confusion.
the Railroad Administration yesterday announced an embargo upon all
freight, except food, fuel and war supplies, on the Eastern lines of
the Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio and the Philadelphia and Read
ing. "This embargo" the announcement states, "s q temporary one.
II should last but a few days il the weather moderatcs."
Meanwhile, one OF the best uses New York can make of the time
is to organize a cooperative trucking service which shall be ready TO
concentrate the combined moving power of the citys great army of
trucks on the task Of keeping its terminals clear of freight jams.
