WILD ANIMALS OF
ALL KINDS SCARCE
BEASTS OF JUNGLE NEEDED
BY AMERICAN CIRCUSES AND
zoos. SUPPLY SHUT OFF.

The wild animal market is enjoying
an unprecedented boom at the pres
ent time, owing to the fact that dur
ing the world war the wild animal
supply was shut off, although the nor
mai demand continued
The breeding of such stock in cap
tivity is very limited, while the death
rate is comparatively high The ZOO
logical gardens, circuses and wild ami
NAL exhibitions of all kinds have suf-
tered a steady falling off in their
stock, with no means OF renewing it.
A large supply of every variety of an
imals used for exhibition purposes
must be collected and distributed to
bring the supply up to normal.
Many Expeditions Now Out.
Every section of the globe, from the
arctic circle and beyond to the equa-
tor. is searched for wild animals to
meet this demand. Expeditions. many
OF them very elaborate, are at work
a cid today in some % different coun-
tries scattered throughout the world
gathering such specimens.
The work is organized on an elab-
CRATE scale. Each expedition must be
directed by specialists who have spent
years in these fields and thoroughly
understand the conditions under which
a particular animal may be tracked
down and captured.
Shipped Direct to America.
So great is the American demand
for wild animals at present that stock
is now shipped directly to the United
States from South African and other
fields. New York city has become a
great clearing house for wild animals.
Wild animals are one of the few
commodities which have not increased
in price during the war. The present
quotations for the stock OF menage-
RE compare very favorably with the
pre-war prices A lion or tiger, fully
grown, can be bought anywhere from
500 to $4,000 A giraffe, however,
brings from $4,000 to $4,000

LIBERTY MANAGEMENT
 COMPLAIN OF PATRONAGE

Those people attending the show last night enjoyed one of the finest plays, of it's kind, that have been pro- duced The audience was not what it should have been fo~ this big feature, and we are at a loss to explain the lack of interest. This show, especially, has drawn the biggest crowds where ever shown, and is universally rated with the few top notchers, and yet Seward stays at home. Agnes Ayers and Theodore Roberts head the list of an extra good cast of popular actors; the staging and costumes are beauti- full; the plot of the story is logical, in teresting, and touching; making com bination that packs the theatres in every place but Seward. Whats the matter? Do we want the theatre to close, placing Seward in the Hope, Sun rise class of towns? When only thirty or forty people go to see such a high class 8 reel super-feature as was shown last night, (showing again to- night,) we think it time to sit up and take notice"

night of this week. 4 large member

lance of every woman carrying fra
ternal protection Mrs Anna Oliver

Congress. These papers were very
edifying, were given close attention

for which deserved credit is given to
Mesdames Leta Cochran and Anna
