during the winter months and se- cured acts from Russia, Australia and Japan, and I can truthfully say that I'm offering the best show of my circus career and that you know goes back many years. Of course I had to have big Amreican feature -so secured the studios of Holly wood and decided that "Reb" Rus sell, "new face in pictures" was the most promising star-so after quite bit of argument succeeded in getting 'Reb" to cancel his pic- ture contract and join my circus and "Reb" is with us, as well as a tribe of full blooded American In- dians, also his marvel horse Rebel" and plenty of cowboys and cowgirls from his own ranch in Oklahoma. Horses always essential to the circus you will find in great numbers-all selected by myself from the breed- ing farms in Kentucky and Ten nessee. Two elephant herds are put through their stunts by Edward Dougherty, my trainer, assisted by Ella Harris, Jeannette Wallace, Georgia Lund and Francis Weid- ner-a big revival of the Heaps" has again proved great laugh get- ter from the kiddies. The menag- erie is greatly enlarged by addition of many importations. Anyhow its circus day in our city and its the one you all know to be t,4e best. Two performances will be held, this afternoon at 2:15 and tonight at 8:15 with doors open one hour earlier to allow the show going pub lie to SC ethe menagerie and listen Ito Rodney Harris and his circus

Mark Twain, Americas most noted writer, wrote in bed, abhorred exercise, scoffed at soceity, scorned humanity, sneered at culture and despised the world which neverthe- less heaped honors, wealth, and uni- versity degrees upon him. His only source of pleasure was the circus, and of the circus he said, "The cir GUS comes to town, and makes children of us again-for we are all kids on circus day and there is no age limit to the circus kid; it runs from six to sixty and to one hundred and six if we live that long"
 Today is circus day in our city so let's turn back the hands of the clock and be kids again. The kiddies, as well as father, were up bright and early this a. m., and required no second calling to get them out of bed. for they knew it was circus day in our city, and father in his anxiety failed to read his morning paper, so to be on hand at the show grounds to see the Sparks managed Downie Brothers Circus put up the city of white tops on the show ground. its one annual event that the family never fails to be on hand to see.

Vail (former president of the American Telephone and Telegraph company as to public service and the responsibility of the Bell System in times of emergency"
