Added features this year will be light ing effects, swimming and diving acts by experts, and the famous "human fish" landing by Jimmy McMIlllan that has proven to be one of the big draw ing cards in Florida during the past winter season. In this act. McMIlllan. will hook a swimmer who weighs around 175-pounds. Using a bamboo pole and a 5G-pound test lino, the ex pert will land the "human fish” in spite of nil the swimmer can do, In less than ten minutes. The pageant this year will he tho "Broken Arrow.” and depicts In color ful manner tho salvation of two tribes of Indians by the American Red Cross. It har been a bad year in the wig wams of the Great Bows, (a land tribe of Indians.) Prayer, dance and sacrifice have failed to placate the In dian gods. Their crops will not grow— there Is no food for man or animal —plague and famine threnten to ravage their villages. Finally, their chief has commanded tho greatest ceremony of all—braves and old men. squaws, pa pooses. medicine men—war maidens— nil are gathered in a last desperate supplication. The sentries announce the approach of canoes, and across the lake come the Aqua canoes, (a tribe of water In dians) in a majestic procession, head ed by tho water monster which they worship. They signal peace, and the chief landing, greets the assemblage of the Grent Bows. Then the two chiefs tell each other of the famine which threatens to annihilate the red-man. A rumble of thunder In the distance sends them down upon their faces In terror f id a terrific storm warns them that he gods are answering. ■ Bnrley has the storm abated, when a strange white boat approaches—they signal peace—It Is the American Red Cross, sent with medicines and food. Some of the white-coated men and nurses unload food and medicines while others carry nway the prostrate In dians. All tribes headed by their chiefs and medicine men preform solemn ceremonies of gratitude to the Ameri can Red Cross, the Greatest Mother in the world. PART II The Water Show.

Clay Williams of Winston-Salem, and B. D. Bybrook of Advance, who consented to sending the eight young purebred cat tle hoie after twenty farmers and busi ness men had visited the Red Polled farms and requested assistance of the men in bringing the desired dual purpose breed to Transylvania county. The cattle to be sold in Brevard were selected by F. R. Farnham and J. I. Arey, of State College trom the several hundred head on the Reynolds-Lybrook farm, and each animal Is from milk producing strain cows that have been tested over a period of several years. The Reynolds-Lybrook farm Red Polled herd has been winners in shows throughout the Vnited States, and an cestors of the cattle being sent here for the sale Saturday have been world champions of the Red Polled cattle shows in five different years. Red Polled cattle are regarded as the outstnnd^ig breed of dual purpose cat tle in the world. They will produce dairy products quite as economically as will any of the strictly dairy breeds and will produce beef quite as cheaply and of as good quality as will any of the beef breeds. These cattle are of English origin and in England they have been milk trial champions at both London Dairy and Royal shows. At the 1931 Smitafield show (Great Britain's great beef cattle snow) Red Polls sold for a higher average price per cwt. than did all of the other breeds and crosses At Chicago they have won first in carcass contests. Red Polled cattle are red with some times a little white on their udders. They are hornlees. They are thrifty, good feeders, good grazers, and hardy. They combine economical productions of dairy products and high class beef in the same breed, and in the same animal. Leading farmers, and dairy exten sion workers who have checked Into all phases of the Red Polled cattle are convinced that for Transylvania county farms, this is the ideal breed.
