FIVE RING CIBCl'S REALIZED AT LAST Binding Bros, and Barnnm & Bailey Enlarged to Accommodate New Big Acts. At last the five-ring circus! For years reporters have used this figure of speech to describe th<s bigness of the greatest show on Earth. Now, for the first time in history patrons will actually fine five rings when the greater Rlngling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus of 1925 comes to Rocky Mount Oct. 23. With the addition last winter of enough performing horses to bring the Big Show's total to three hundred and fifty the problem presented to the !Ringling Brothers was, "How to handle I five troupes of them in a single dis play?" The limits of the show ground ; in many cities forbade lengthening | the main-tent. None of the stages could be spared. All were needed for !the big collective groups of human actors. Then somebody suggested that though the "big-top" parapher nalia could not be cut down nor yet "spread out," there was no reason why it should not be "built higher." That suggestion w-as worked out and now, in addition to the three dirt floored rings, two additional rings have been constructed to fit over the tops of the steel structured stages. This is the greatest innovation since the Ringling Brothers started their | super-circus policy by combining their own with the Barnum & Bailey j circus. It has opened the way not I only for trained horse numbers in | sets of five but for other big, new 'lis. plays. I Though there are more than eight hundred men and women arenic stars | on the mammoth program of 1925 jonly a few of the most brilliant are I presented singly. Instead they are 'These groups extend over the entire length of the huge main-tent?seven, nine as many as eleven troupes in action at one time. In keeping with this plan of giving the spectators at the ends of the tent Just as much "show" as is enjoyed by those nearer the center, five hgrds of elephants are now presented Instead of three. A hundred clowns distribute their caperings in all parts of the "big-top." The hippodrome tracks is utilized more than ever before. At one time ''it is completely circled by one hund ? red and fifty trained horses, each ritf ? 'den by an expert, in an amazing ballet ? i and "Fete of the Garlands." Again it ' j is filled with glittering pageants, with j splendid high-school horses or remark ! | able thoroughbreds that give thrill ing exhibitions of lofty hurdling rnd I hazardous high-jumps.

Kilgore, President Ameri j can Cotton Growers Exchange and ; President Xorth Carolina Cotton Grow ers Cooperative Association, address ed a united audience of fifty Franklin County farmers and business men in the Franklinton scnool building Wed nesday evening of this week. HI a theme was "What cooperative mar. keting has to offer the producer." He said cooperative marketing, by rais j ing the price of the farm crops for the grower, raises his standard of liv ing and thus helps make our nation what it ought to be.

He told of the services of the Am erican Cotton Growers Exchange and of the Xorth Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association and he made an observation of European cotton conditions. What England wants is cheap American cotton, he said. What the Associations are doing is helping to keep the price of Southern cotton at a living wage for the grower, he further said.
