BY p. NJ. McCLINTOCK.

\ N perusing your tourist guide for informa-
ton regarding points of interest in rural
4 Missouri, you will find almost every point
worthy of visit well covered-except pos
sibly the most interesting place in the
grand old "Show Me" State and inciden-
tally, the only place of its kind on all the
earth: the late w. P. Halls Circus Farm,
veritable circus boneyard where Inflated cir
cuses end their days in utter desolaton. The
founder of the farm died just few weeks ago.
This unique farm is located on the northern
boundary Of the quiet little village of Lam
caster, in Schuyler County, some 200 miles
north and slightly west Of st. Louis
Lancaster, surrounded by undulating prairie
land, is country town of less than a thou
sand, and has little to boast OF within the vii
lage hmits-but the circus farm is certainly
something to show off, even to the most blase
Of city dwellers.
Here is written the final chapter Of many q

Here, to tarnish and rust away, have come
scores of elaborately carved and gilded circus
wagons of every type and description, ornate
animal dens magnificent gold-leafed band
chariots, whose initial cost would make the
most luxurious motor cars appear cheap in
comparison, callopes with gorgeous carvings
and sunburst wheels whose shrill raucous
notes are silenced. possibly for all time.
