New Features.

The announcement that the far-famed
Ringing Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
Combined Shows are TO exhibit at

| May 10 and IL, has aroused no end Of
practically all the youngsters aud
grown-ups in this section were plan
ming TO attend.
Twice each day for almost two
months New York's great Madison
Square Garden was packed with those
who thronged to see this program in
circus history. They saw scores of
the jungle's most ferocious beasts, sub
jugated to such degree, that these
beautiful animals leaped to and rode on
the backs of elephants and horses,
jumped through hoops of IRE, opened
their mouths that their men and women
trainers might lay their heads and
hands inside OF them, or leaped from
pedestal to pedestal like trained dogs.
And these marvellous dumb actors are
all on tour with the great double circus.
The four immense steel arenas in which
they perform are set up in the NAM
moth main tent There is no addition
al charge everything is on the one
program. And by everything is
meant not only the wild animal dis
plays, but the entire circus. More
than 600 men and women, embracing
the worlds foremost arenic stars, take
part. There are almost 100 clowns.
Aside from the feroeious beasts, the
program includes thirty trained ele-
plants. TrOupes of camels perform in
the rings, There are five companies
of trained seals, many dogs, bears,
monkeys, pigs and pigeons. Fully
seventy trained horses and Shetlands
are presented. 1t is the biggest circus
program the world has ever seen, given
under the largest tent and, in connec-
tion, is the famous combined Ringing
Brothers and Barnum & Bailey mem

A Correction.

The report published in our last is
sue as coming from the Maryland To-
bacco Growers Association, advising
farmers to plant an average crop of
tobacco this year, was incorrect. This
advice should have been credited to
the Leaf Tobacco Association of Bal
timore, which is another organization,
whose membership is composed of the
buyers and commission men.

DR.. Henry S. West, Superintendent
of Baltimore City Schools, stated in a
recent address upon school conditions
in the city, that he preferred men in the
schools of the city where the teaching
of boys was involved. "Clean, man
ly young men in the school rooms
have an opportunity to set high ideals
as examples to which the future men of
the state could look up to-.
DR.. West spoke of the great amount
of time lost in the schools that might
be avoided. While apparently it
amounted to but little, yet in the ag-
gregate it means much to the pupil,
teacher and taxpayer.

SCARLET FEVER
Heavy Toll In Child Life Exact
ed BY Prevalence of Dis
ease

The State Board OF Health is thor
oughly aroused by the continued and
increased prevalence of scarlet fever
in Wisconsin. Each year a heavy toll
in child life is exacted while thousands
of cases of illness from this disease
are recorded. The death rate from
scarlet fever in Wisconsin is constantly
higher than it is in the registration
area of the United States comprising
80 states and u cities. In this respect
scarlet fever has achieved an unenvi-
able distinction, for the death rates of
other transmissible diseases are almost
uniformly lower in Wisconsin than
elsewhere
