FAMOUS CLOWNS IN
 CROTTO'S CIRCUS
Veteran Fun-Makers Out- standing Feature of
 Wirth Troupe

A circus without clowns would be about as disappointing to the kiddies as a Christmas without a Santa Claus or a tree. Realizing this fact, Manager Frank wirth of the big Zindah Grotto indoor circus which will open at the Armory the week of April 22nd, has seen to 1t that he offers a bunch of funsters and pantomimists that will bring joy and laughter not only to the
 little folks but to the grown ups as well, for the Wirth clowns have
 an international reputation and do not depend upon the time worn
 stunts of the ordinary circus joys.
 Originality is a dominant feature of
 such famous laugh getters as the
 great "Bluch" late of the New
 York Hippodrome and a feature
 with the Frank Wirth circus for
 several years. He has been seen here before and is sure of another heart welcome. This year he has
 an entirely new routine and is said to be funnier than ever, if such thing were possible. He will be
 supported by more than twenty other fun makers including two of the greatest acrobatic clowns ever
 seen with any circus. Laddy La-i Mont and Hip Raymond. The former in Scottish make up first does some side splitting comedy
 on rolling globe and then aston ishes with his dexterity on an un- supported ladder which he mounts | to the top most round juggles bat | tie axes, plays a saxophone and does a dance. Hip Raymond has the kiddies with him from his very first appearance in a novelty act which he calls, Did You See It?" When he succeeds in building up an elevated platform of four tables he mounts to the top and seated in chair rocks to and fro, till down comes the tables, Hip Raymond and all. "Charlie," knockabout clown works on the hippodrome track previous to the starting of the circus and keeps the incoming
 udience in a merry mood. In
 he riding act of May Wirth, Fred
 die billed as the riding fool. fur
 nishes a brand new type of clown
 ing and his burlesque riding Is a
 scream. Be he six or sixty, every
 one likes a clown, and no one will
 be disappointed at the lineup the
 Wirth circus presents this year.

Iithing System At
 Church Is Success
Grace Methodist Parish Increases Income By $l,OOO
 Since Adoption Less Than Three Years Ago

Grace Church is one church in a thousand that prospers without re- sorting to revenue from entertain ments, shows. sales and suppers. Since the church adopted the ~sys- tenn of tithing less than three years ago, the income has increased 1000.
 The greatest results, however, are to be seen in the concentration of the leadership and energy in the real mission of the church. The spirit of unity, the desire to be mu- tually helpful, and the ability to be of real service is evident through out the church. Upon such foun- dalton. the church can serve the real needs of the community to- day.
 One mistaken idea that people have about this plan is that with its adoption, the church no longer has any social life. On the other hand. all the social life of the church Is made available for peo- pie, not on the basis of what they can pay. but whether or not they are interested and want to come Suppers are conducted on a fel- lowship basis which allows every one to come and pay their own way. but there is no purpose to profit on them.
 At the official board meeting. last night, plans were made for the annual meeting to be held on Thursday the 11th. The pastor asked the officials to do their best to see that all members and friends of the church shared in this meet ing. The old quarterly conference. said Rev Mulford Simonson, should be thing of the past. Routine business and statistical reports of- ten lack inspiration. however, the present arrangement of the annual meeting makes possible one of the most inspirat!onal and helpful services of the year.
 The board recognized the work of William Hornbecker, who had made great improvement in the lighting of the church. Allan Fair hurst was also thanked for consid- erable labor which he had given to the church in the last month. A vote of appreciation was extended to Willard Smith, who as janitor, put in n lot of extra time last week during the Preaching Mission. The pastor expressed his appreciation to those who had made possible n new pulpit light, which had ar rived at just the appropriate time The official board also took the oc- casion to vote its hearty approval of the Preaching Mission, and to thank the pastor for making pos sible such q splendid program, with such able preachers in the local church.
