THE CIRCUS
How many of our older readers

Shen ail the circus shows .travel-
'(] overland, or in other words,
hv wagons. Can you remember
n{ getting up in the early morn-
j g hours and walking out from
town one, two or three miles to
^ - show coming in? And
had
mored General Pancho Villa now
holas the town.
General Orozco figured that
the federal loss in the six days
fight was 450 killed, wounded
and taken prisoners. His own
loss was about half of that.

"Circuses have changed greatly
in the past last twenty-five years.
They have become much larger
and more elaborate, travel alto-
trether nowadays by rail ^d do
not stop at the small towns they
used to make, but the old saw
dust smell remains the same.
The same stir of excitement stiii
attends the arrjval of the circus,
as i 1 the olden days. You may
not notice it for you have chang
'd and not the circus. The young-
^er generation feels toward the
circ°us of today just as you did
twenty-five years ago.
The John H. Sparks World’s
Famous shows are billed to ex
hibit here on Saturday April 13
and they are coming heralded by
the most favorable newspaper
criticisms from many cities and
towns where they have already
exhioited. From the moment of
eariy arrival of the trains bearing
these great shows until their de-
pariure in the night it is said
that every consideration will be
sho.sn the public. Those who are
inieiesied in the unloading will
receive an early morning welcome
at liie cross way where the work
is being aone, and may view the
interesting operation without
fear of unpleasant experience.
Every ejiiploye of the Sparks
Shows, from the highest superin-
tenaent to the humblest stake
pounders have strict instructions
to be polite and courteous at all
times, and in no possible manner
to offend the most sensitive eith
er by word or action. Ladies
without ascorts and children un
attended are respectful considera
tion around every department of
the show, as every employe has
been constituted a guardian for
their protection. In j fact noth
ing has been left undone €hat
would enhance the comfort, plea
sure and peace of mind of the
most aesthetic patron of this
great circus aggrei^tion.

Overman Presents Astounding
Figures.
Washington, March 29.—Sena
tor Overman today astounded the
senate when, in opposing the
Sheerwood .pension bill and the
amendment offered by Senator
Cummins, he produced figures to
show that North Carolina -^ontri'
butes annually in taxes to the
federal government to help pay
densions to old soldiers $3,800,000
while in return only |600,000 is
returned to the state. This is:
$3,200,000 over what the federal
government contributes to North
Carolina. He said that in the
case of Indiana $4,000,000 in tax-
is paid to the federal govern
ment, while $10,000,000 is paid
to the state in pensions.
Senator Kern, of Indiana who
is advocating the pension “steal”
took issue with Senator Overman.
The Indiana senator is a strong
idvoCcite of the Sherwood bill.

•Jiminez, Mexico, March 29.—
^he rumor that General Trucy
Aubert was killed in yesterday’s
battle between federals whom he
commanded and rebels under
Generals Sa’«azar and Fernandez
was unfounded. He has appar
ently escaped as no trace of him
could be found today.
Benjamin Vasquez, correspon
dent of El Correo, a daily news
paper of Chihuahua city, lost his
nte as he was about to enter an
house. Four federals were
nidden inside and they fired as
p entered the door. A moment
later all were killed when a rebel
?®^chment came up and demol
ished the place with a bomb hurl
ey by hand.
General Pascual Orozco, rebel
wmmander«in-chief, issued an
order to General Campa today to

Saves Expensive Trips
IT WAS NECESSARY for the Attorney to
have a personal talk vnth a client in a distant
city. The journey would seriously interfere
with several important engagements made for
that day. ^
He used the Long Distance Bell Telephone, '
had a satisfactory talk with his distant client and
was able to keep aU his engagements at home.
The Long Distance Bell Telephone increases
the efficiency of business men who adapt it to their
needs. It cantserve you with equal satisfaction
