Greatest Circus On
Golden Jubilee Tour
Singling Brae, and Barnum & Bailey
Combined Celebrating Ringling
Brothers’ 50th Anniversary with
Mighty Spectacle, Hundreds of New
Features, Including Royal Padaung
Giraffe — Neck Women From
Burma.
The greatest show on earth, Ring
ling Bros, anti Barnum & Bailey com
bined circus—this season celebrating
the Golden Jubilee of the Ringling
Brothers, who fifty years ago began
their triumphal march to world cir
cus supremacy—is definitely schedul
ed to exhibit in Greensboro, October
14th.
Outstanding among the almost
countless new features of the Golden
Jubilee gala performances is the most
magnificent opening spectacle ever
produced by this colossus among a
musement enterprises. It is an au
thentic and dazzling reproduction of
The Durbar, the world famous corona
tion ceremonial at Delhi, India. The
Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailev
Pageantry, opulent and staggering in
its immensity, employes over 2,000
people and animals, including fifty
elephants in gem-studded coronation
robes and lavish headdresses. East
India Marimbo and British Imperial
foot guard bands, scores of festival
tongas, bearing rajahs and ranees,
•will be in the van of the pageant. A
golden temple, designed by Gandi
Moodi of Delhi, ornate ceremonial cars
and gorgeous royal howdahs add im
measurably to the splendor of The
Durbar.
Vying with the resplendent im
pressiveness of The Durbar is the
most unusual and weird importation
that even The Greatest Show on Earth
ever brought out of the Orient—the
Royal Padaung giraffe-neck women
from Burma. These strange oriental
women, with their incredibly long
necks encircled with brass and copper
rings, carrying sixty pounds of cop
per ornaments on their arms and legs,
are unbelievably• aloof from all man
kind. They are like no other racial
group in all the teeming East. The
rings, soldered upon their necks, are
constantly superimposed from infancy
until maturity, until these sloe-eyed
oriental beauties resemble nothing so
much as the giraffe. Never was so
sensational a feature exhibited in the
main performance of the Ringling
Bros and Barnum & Bailey Combined
Circus.
The Golden Jubilee five-ring four
stage program features displays in
units of fifty, with the stars of all
lands competing in the air, rings and
hippodrome track and on the stages.
There are more than 800 performers.
The circus bears on its four long
trains of 100 double-length steel rail
road cars over 1600 people, 50 ele
phants, 1009 menagerie animals and
700 horses.
The great Con Colleano, tumbling,
forward-somersaulting tight wire
Star, has been recalled from Euro
pean triumphs to join the Big Show
constellation of stars, as has the
famous Alfredo Cot Ion a, world’s only
triple mid-air somersaulter to a sen
sational catch. Vabanque, French
3eap-of-death trapezist is a new star.
Marcellus’ Parisian Flying Ballet; the
Uyeno, Yacopi, Damwill Rubio, Ben
Hamid somersaulting acrobatic troup
es; the Wallenda and Gretona high
wire thrillers; the Flying Codonas,
Concellous and Harolds; the riding
Jtieffenachs, Walters and Davenports;
Dorothy Herbert, world’s most sen
sational horsewomen; Maximo and
Mijares, slack wire stars; Zacchini,
human projectil; Lucita Leers, aerial
star, and A1 Powell, flying bowknot—
these are a few of the headliners
among the better known acts. There
are 100 of the world’s most famous
clowns in the Golden Jubilee gala
performances.
SO FAR, NO SUBSTITUTE
OFFERED
All forms of transportation have
their uses and advantages—but when,
in time of emergency or otherwise,
we need fast and certain facilities
for mass movement of men and ma
terials, we invariably turn to the
railroads.
We have witnessed an example this
Tear, in the case of the Civilian Con
‘servation Corps. During April, May
and June, the rails oarried 400,000 of
these men without interrupting regu
lar service, and without a hitch. At
one time, at Camp Knox, Kentucky,
a train left every two hours, bound
for points as far distant as Vancouv
er, Washington.
During late years, there has been
a good deal of talk to the effect
that the rails are outliving their use
fulness, but there has been no con
vincing evidence. The question,
‘‘What will replace them?” is un
answered. Not airplanes—they are
expensive and can handle the merest
fraction of passenger and freight.
Not buses and trucks, which are un
able to meet railroad service in long
haul business. Not waterways, which
are tremendously localized in the ter
ritories they can serve and are de
pendent on climatic conditions. The
railroad has innate advantages which
none of its competitors can dupli
cate.
Prosperous and progressive rail
roads are one of greatest assets of
every country.

South Heads ‘New Deal’ in Transportation
With Dixie Flyer’s 5-Mil e-a-Minute Mark
II
WITH the establishment at Chicago of a new land plane record of 305.33 miles an hour by James R. Wedell
of Louisiana, the old South once pictured as an easy-going land of leisure, adds leadership in the new
deal" in transportation to its modern industrial achievements. While all America is taking notice of the new
trends in streamlined trains, automobiles, boats and airplanes, Louisiana’s Wedell carries the modern theory
of reducing air resistance to a world’s record in his famous ”44,” a streamlined ship largely of his own design.
His flight in the air pageant, held in connection with A Century of Progress, did more than direct new attention
to the South's growing commercial and scientific supremacy This is indicated by the interest evinced in
the Dixie flyer’s achievement by engineers and scientists now busy with the problem of converting land vehicles
from obsolete forms to the sleek flowing designs of the new era. Photo shows Wedell and his ”44. ’ Inset, the

TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
ASKED AND ANSWERED
Question: What is the best treat
ment for the root knott disease in to
bacco?
Answer: A three year rotation of
resistant crops such as peanuts, Lar
edo soybeans, and early Bradham
cowpeas is the only cure for this dis
ease. A two year rotation will some
times give good results but the three
year rotation is best. Where tobacco
must be planted on infected soil year
after year, early planting will aid
in the control for one or two years.
• • «
Question: What causes limbemeck
in poultry and how can it be cured?
Answer: This disease is caused by
poison coming from a germ which
breeds in decayed animal and vege
table matter. Eating maggots from
this materia] will cause this disease.
Where the flock is infected, all birds
should be put up until the source of
infection is found and destroyed.
Wh’le the flock is confined give them
an Epsom salts treatment using three
quarters of a pound of salts to two
and one-half gallons of water.

a “lay down” on the back of a running
horse.
The circus is showing at popular
prices, 25 cents to all.
Question: What are the best plant
ing dates for hay crops seeded in the
fall?
Answer: Over most of the State,
the best time for planting is between
September 1, and October 15 for bar

Health Hints
(Randolph County Health Dept.)
THE COMMON COLD
The common cold is something
more than a nuisance; it may be an
uncommonly serious matter. In the
first place, it often is the forerun
ner of a very dangerous disease, such
as bronchitis, pneumonia, or tuber
culosis and thus becomes a menace to
life.
In the second place, the common
cold is very qapensive. At school
and in the factory colds cause more
lost time than any other disease.
Education and industry are both hard
hit, and absence from study and
work causes a financial burden of no
small proportions. The parent, the
wage-earner, and the taxpayer must
foot the bill. This is no time for
such extravagance.
Colds Are Catching
As a first principle in the pre
vention of colds we must recognize
the fact that they are catching.
Much time and effort have been
spent in trying to discover the par
ticular germ responsible, but without
complete success. We do know, how
ever, that the “virus” that causes
colds is found in the nasal secretions
of the victim, who has acquired the
infection by direct of indirect con
tact with someone else suffering
from or carrying the disease.
The best method of protection, for
both the sick and the well, is for
the patient with a cold to go home—
to bed, if necessary—and to stay
there until he has recovered. Quiet,
rest, warmth, and proper care are
needed and they cannot be obtained
in the office, school, or shop. While
thus doing the best thing for him
self, he is likewise protecting his
friends and the public.
Corampn .Decency
But the time has not yet come
when we can persuade everyone with
a cold to retire from public con
tacts. Perhaps it is too much to
expect in the case of a disease ithe
uncomplicated form of which does
not actually force a person to bed.
If he goes out among his fellows,
however, he should in common de
cency make every effort to protect
them. Every cough and sneeze should
be covered to prevent spraying the
infection over helpless associates.
Hands should he washed many times
a day to remove the infection which
might otherwise be passed on to
someone else. Keeping the hands
1 scrupulously clean is probably the

catching and spreading colds.
The things which tend to promote

Animals Commit Suicide
Because of Their Grief
There are people who argue that
animals never kill themselves. Yet,
says an authority in the Montreal Her
ald, almost every day we hear of cats
and dogs that die of starvation after
the loss of their master, and there Is
the story of the elephant who broke
his skull against the wall of his sta
ble because his driver had left him.
Loneliness is one of the outstanding
motives of animal despair.
Quite remarkable Is the case of the
black cat which was the inseparable
companion of the famous racing
horse Godotphin. When the horse
died the cat would not move from its
body. Chased away It disappeared,
and was found dead a few days later
In a nearby barn.
Monkeys suffer greatly when Iso-,
laled from their kind. Male and fe
male are amazingly faithful to each
other. A French naturalist reports
the case of a couple of marmosets.
When the female died In captivity the
male sat mourning beside her body.
Finally, when he realized what mis
fortune had befallen him, he withdrew
into a corner. He covered his eyes
with his hands and died soon after
wards.
Much Romantic Interest
in Cape Chestnut Tree
It seems fitting that the history of
the Cape Chestnut tree (Calodendrum
capensis), often considered the most
beautiful of ail evergreen flowering
trees in southern California, should
also he full of romantic interest.
The Cape Chestnut is a native of
the Cape of Good Hope, in South Af
rica, and is noted for its abundant lav
ander-plnk flowers which appear In
large cluster or panicles. It has large
oval leaves resembling some of the va
rieties of avocado. The general shape
of the tree is rounded and spreading,
attaining a height of 35 to 40 feet.
The name Calodendrum is from the
Greet words, “Calo,” beautiful, and
“dendron.” tree. Probably the first
part of “California" was originally de
rived from the Greek word “Calo.”
While the tree does not belong to the
regular chestnut family the back
seeds or nuts appear In pairs in a
rough burr, resembling the edible
chestnut—Los Angeles Times.
Follow the Loader
When you go to the circus notice the
way the trainer will devote his—or her
—attention to Just one elephant That
one Is the leader. The Others will fol
low the leader. And the whole act will
travel at top speed or Just drag along,
according to the mood of the leader.
And heaven help the elephant which
tries to “soldier" thipugh the perform
ance. The leader will issue a warning
blast through Us trunk and—If that
fails to get action—will butt the of
fender. One such “butt” is enough.
Do they communicate with each
other? All the time. The “bull line”
Is the clearing house for the gossip of
the animal performers, Just as out
back some one performer’s tent will be
the clearing house for the circus gos
sip about the human performers.—
Boston Herald.
Deer Intelligent
The (leer of Sequoia National park
In California, are credited with an un
usually high Intelligence ratio by per
sons observing their actions. Those
frequenting the neighborhood of Ash
Mountain headquarters in the park,
it Is said, never mistake the early ris
ing gong for the breakfast gong, which
sounds exactly like It But they In
variably respond to the latter by
trooping toward the mess house at the
same time that the men put in < their
appearance. The animals have learned
from experience that If they cluster
about the windows of the building
while the men are eating they may
look for handouts, and that scraps
from the kitchen will be forthcoming
later.
Career of Hope Diamond
The Hope diamond has had a noto
rious career. It has traveled the
world, and Its sapphire blue has en
chanted Indian rajahs, royalty, dukes
and earls and merchant princes. Its
kingiiest abode, perhaps, was the
splendor of Versailles, and Its most
purple possessor the Grand Louis,
though a sultan of Turkey. If he heard
himself rated Inferior, say, to a “Chris
tian dog.” would doubtless toss the of
fending assessor Into the Bosporus. It
has found proud asylum In a lordly
English house, and a queen of song
has worn It with a thrill. And al
ways evil fortune has attended it
.Miss America Taller
To prove that Miss America is grow
ing taller and heavier, a professor baa
made a study of 1.017 mothers and
daughters at Wellesley, Vass*-. Smith
and Mt Holyoke colleges, and be has
discovered that the daughters average
five feet four and eight-tenths Inches,
which makes them more than an inch
taller than their mothers were at the
same age. They weigh, on an average,
124 pounds, whereas their mothers
weighed only 116%.
It's a Habit
Falconers, who train hawka to hunt
birds and small game, give a low whim
tie whenever the falcon swallows it*
food. The falcon soon learns to as
sociate this sound with feeding time,
and will grip with Its talons ami bend
down to feel for Its foed whenever
It hears the sound.—Pathfinder Maga
