Mrs. Ilmris, who overheard the con

CIRCUS IS LOSING MONEY
Howe's and Van Amhurg's Show Made
IVofit i" I!i:t 1'ew Tar Heel Towns
The Yorkvll'le Enquirer prints the
following interview with Charlie
Mu:,ivi'u, manager of Howe's circus.
Who is known to a ni'inbcr of Monroe
people, his show having played here'
a few weeks ago:
"Despite the fact that he was well
over military age, Charlie Mugivan
was one of ilie first to enlist in the
lOfith Engineers when Uncle Sam
got lino the world wiir it ml he was
overseas In France and Germany
for many months. After getting over
sens he figured that he could best
dii his bit bv organizing a c!.t::s for
the soldier lads and this he did. The
big "hi-w iruveloJ all over the war
area showing day after day to crowds
of from 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers.
Name and fame of Muglvai.'s circus
was far and wide and there are no
doubt many soldiers in this section
who will recall it.
"This has been a hard year on cir
cuses according to Mugivan. Short
crops and low prices for agricultural
products are responsible. "When far
mers north, south, east or west don't
got good prices for their products
they can't come to see the circus,"
fahi Charlie,
' 'We haven't made in money In
weeks and In fact, we have broken
even In mighty few towns. Out of
twentv-soveii towns In North Caro
lina that we have played recently we
made a little money In five. In the
others we suffered a big lor- We
were agreeable surprised at the at
tendance In Yorkville and while we
didn't make any money here we will
break about even. Our daily expense
Is about $4,000 and of course you
see that lots of people have to pay
the price of admission to get that
much money every day.
" 'But it has been a bad year and
if the railroad s strike comes It may
be a good thing for us.
