CIRCUS PARADE
A TOP NOTCHER
Crowd Admires It's Many Excellent
Features of the Many Num-
bers Which Will Be Seen Tonight.

Not in years has so fine circus pa-
rade been seen in Brattleboro as the
one which was given about 11.30 clock
this forenoon by the John Robinson
circus. 1t appeared on Main street on
scheduled time and was admired by a
big crowd. 1t was a real class l affair
with all the big parade features, both
dlgnitied and comic, and the cleanliness
of the entire outfit and the sickness of
the hundreds of horses was generally
remarked upon. More of the animal
cages were open than is usually the case
IN circus parades, and to many the
crOwning feature was the herd of II
elephants.
The first performance opened at
0 clock, and there will be another at
o clock on the Valley fair grounds, the
doors being open an hour earlier for
inspection of the menagerie.
The circus program is made up of 81
displays, most of them keeping three
rings and the aerial rigging in constant
action, filling the dome in the enormous
tent from end to end with flying forms,
accomplishing thrilling feats. A large
race track is used for the presentation
of the games and racing contests.
Among those participating in the per
Torrance are Adey and Mary Bedini
| the Lowandes and the Orton family in
new and striking creations of eques
trianism, and Mary Connors, conceded
to be one Of the greatest riders il
America.
Among the novelty sensations there i.
Madame De Marce Is bicycle ridin,
balloons; Huson's performing wild ami
mails, the Avalions, Tetu Robinson ant
| the Weavers in wonderful high wir,
exploits, the Youngs, La Dare Warne
trio, the Buffers and the Yorks in un
precedented aerial sensations. The en-
tire program is enlivened intermittent,
by the drollery of numerous clowns.

Editor of The Reformer:-
The subscriptions to a small fund to
keep the Brattleboro band going this
summer should be liberal and spontane-
Gus. Anyone who has ever lived in a
town without band can appreciate
what it means. Undoubtedly there are
musicians in town who are competent
to lead band, but unier present condi-
tions it is safe to say that if Mr.. Lett
singer does not keep up the work it will
not be done, and the job of re-organiz-
ing is not one to be entered upon with
out full understanding of its difficulties.
/ believe there are any number of
people ready and willing to contribute
to this purpose, and / hope they will not
wait to be asked, but will make it a
point to go to the committee and leave
their subscriptions before Saturday
night.

REST ROOM FUNDS
ENTIRELY DEPLETED
Canvassers Must Meet with Generous
Response Tomorrow if Enterprise
Is to Continue,

Brattleboro will be covered thorough
ly tomorrow, red tag day, when so
young women will canvass the town for
the benefit of the rest room. The last
red tag day was in September, 1916.
and no canvass for funds was made last
year on account of there being so many
calls for money for various charitable
purposes and the fact that the rest
room management had received several
gifts for their treasury.
At present the treasury is entirely de-
pleted and if the rest room is to be
continued funds must be procured to
defray the expenses 1t is a well recog-
nlzed fact that the room is almost in
dlspensable to women from outlying dis
trlcts who come here to trade. and b
the young women in offices who go there
to eat their noon lunches.

the canvassers is looked for by the

A few contributions have been

the number is far too small, and the

may be left either at The Reformer

late and the concerts should begin the

public-spirited citizens have been re-

disbanding of the organization, and it is
| hoped that they represent the senti-

are published herewith:
Editor of The Reformer:-
/ would regret exceedingly to see the

which has been and is such valuable
asset to the community. Everyone who
is interested in or lives in Brattleboro
is proud of this fine musical organiza-

been fortunate in having such an cfii-

pie of Brattleboro viii rally and that
this organization may be kept together
and Brattleboro still have the benefit of
this splendid band. Let everyone do
his part.

Activity in war work pulls in the d.

tjal high above the non-essentai, but
in ordinary channels. shortage of TIM;

of money. inadequate supplies of labor
and restrictions either from the govern

Incidentally the countrywide cam
paigns in behalf of the Third Liberty
loan, which have brought out a multi
tude of subscriptions from small invest
ors. have reacted unfavorably upon re-
tail trade, and relative dullness in that
quarter also has been accentuated by
cold weather over a wide area. Like
wise while grain crop news continues
favorable, low temperatures have de-
TERED farmers and prevented crops al
ready seeded from taking on growth.
But after making allowances for the
reservations noted, a large volume of
