ROB|NSON'S C|RCUS' ARRIVES IN TOWN
Street Parade This Morning at 1O:30 O'CIock-TWo
 Performances Today

The grand free street parade of will leave the grounds for the down town thoroughfares at 10 o'clock this morning. It will be seen in gor- geous parade through all of the city's main streets. The elephants, the hippo" the cages of jungle beasts, the glitter and the gold, the red coated bands-five of them-will be seen in seemingly amending process sion.
 Then there will be novelties in plenty it is promised, patriotic, all legorical cars, gorgeous tableux wagons, ornately carved and gold and silver leafed.
 The camels, the clowns, the ladies in spangles the knights on proud horses, the burros, calliopes and all the wonders of the open air review of the big show are promised. as well as many more that the advance host of the circus say have never been paraded before.
 The John Robinson performances at D. m. and p. m., 1t Is stated. will present an all-feature pro- gramme. Troupes from all lands will thrill and win laughter, for there are comedy performers in nearly ev- cry act, in addition to the phalanx of 50 clowns-count em--fifty. Sew eral beautiful spectacles are also an- nounced.
 The arrival of the old John Rob- lnson circus is an event of great interest in the city. This is one of the very oldest circuses in existence many of our grandfathers and grand mothers having enjoyed the great display and feats of the circus of honest old John Robinson" as the founder of this tented show adver. tised himself and was termed in those days. Honest John Robin son would open his eyes at the ar ray of spiendor that has descended from his circus where the entertain ment was subject to the times. One example of the difference then and now was in the old balloon ascen- sion where there was no parachute and the balloonist relief on coming down with the balloon and had to accept whatever luck attended his descension.
 But the Jingle of harness chains. the steady claDg of shod hoofs and the rumble of heavy wagons tomor- row will announce John Robinson circus of up-to-date proportions. a srown-up child of the old days.

 Buying in New York by visiting merchants is very good" said Mir. Goldstein. Merchants from the south are in better shape now and are much happier than in sometime on account of the phenomenal comeback of cotton. The general opinion is that the small merchant in the south will hastily fill his shelves and that he will experience very unusual holiday trade. However, in the larg- CT city, this type of optimism does not prevail to nearly so great an extent

Auto Club Ordered S7 Signs To
 Be Used on Black Canyon Road

An order for ST highway signs has been given a Chicago firm by the Automobile Club of Arizona, and upon delivery they will be used to sign the Black Canyon route between the capital city and Prescott. The road has been thoroughly logged by W. R. Elliott, consulting engineer for the club, and the position of every sign marked so that there will be no delay in placing them.
 The order is the second to be issued by the club, and marked progress in the announced campaign to properly sign all auto roads in the state in the same manner that the highways of California and other progressive states have been designated.
 These signs will give accurate and detailed information concerning routes and distances, and when fol- lowed in connection with highway map-folders furnished all club mem bers, will make it practically impos- sible for any person, no matter how unfamiliar he may be with the route traversed, to become confused or misled as is too often the case today.
 Another purpose will be served by
