A Night In the Jangles of Centrml Africa.
To hear the thunderous roars
of the man-eating kings of the
forest, to feel their hot breath
wafted through the barred win
dows of a tiny cabin in the jung
les is certainly thrilling.
Fritz Brunner, the famous an
imal trainer with the John H.
Sparks Shows, which are to ex
hibit here, Wednesday, Oct. 2nd,
was raised in a cabin in the
wilds of equatorial Africa. His
father was an agent of the Royal
Zoological Society of Germany,
and siKMit many years securing
specimen for that institution.
Hence from ehildhood Mr. Brun
ner was accutomod to hear
nightly the roars of monster
lions, the hideous tiger's growls
' and the snarling leopards and
hyenas, which would engage in
combats around the cabin, often
hurling their huge weights
.against its frail walls and scam
lering over its roof. As he
grew up in these surroundings
he became a fearless hunter,
meeting thr wild denizens of the
forest face to face and engaging
in tierce struggles with the infuri
ated beasts. He afterwards le
came a trainer, and his absolute
mastery over the brute creation
is not equalled by any living
man.
A large steel enclosure will be
erected in the-center of the ex
hibition tent, into which the
ferocious annuals will be turned
loose. Mr. Mrunnor will then
enter the enclosure unarined, and
put them through a remarkable
series of performances that will
vividly illustrate their tremend
ous strength and agility. It is
a thrilling, hair raising sight
and one that you will never
forget.
The p r o g r a in of John H.
Sparks Shows is entirely com
posed of marvelous, exinmsive
and carefully selected features,
which make it so vastly super
ior to all siiniliar exhibitions.
Adv.
The Value of Bird To The Farmer.
i Home and Karm.l
"The time has
every sportsman
come when
should put
five years at
away his gun for
least." said Col. G. O. Shields
during a lecture upon "Hirtls
and Animals of America" at the
University of Chicago two weeks
ago.
Col. Shields argued that dras
tic measures must be put into
effect if quail, grouse, phesants
and prairie chickens are to be
.saved from extinction. The an
nihilation of these birds, he said
would mean untold poverty re
suiting from the scarcity of
crops which would be oaten by
insects.
"Ninety x i' cent of the nor
mill bird life of this country al
ready has been destroyed and
the other 10 per cent will go in
the next five years unless strong
measures are employed to stop
the slaughter," lie said. "Care
ful scientists tell us that if all
the insect-eating birds were de
stroyed the whole continent
would, within three years, be
come uninhabitable by reason of
the myriads of insects that
would spring up and devour
every living thing.
Running up anil down stairs, sweep
ing and bending o er making beds will
not make a woman healthy or beauti
ful. She must get out of doors, walk a
mile or two every day and take Cliam
berlain's Tablets to improve her in
gestion and regulate her bowels. For
wale bv all dealers.
If everybody would do as they
agree, be reasonably honest,
fair and square in their dealings
with thpir fellowmen, there
wouldn't be much to fuss about
in this little round world and
folks would all be a lot happier.
Just because a few won't play
the game right, don't let that
influence you to follow a bad ex
ample. It never pays a man to
do anything that will make it
difficult for him to go to bed and
sleep with his conscience. Ex.

A Call for Mar Potato.
(Home & Farm.)
Mr. Eugene H. Grubb has a
2,000 acre farm at Carbondale,
Col., on which his principal crop
is potatoes. He was sent abroad
by Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson to study foreign methods
and has improved on them.
"The situation we are facing
is of tremendous seriousness,"
he said in a recent interview,
"for unless the American farm
ers can be iersuaded to adopt
scientific intensive farming in
place of the present haphazard
methods the day is not far dis
tant when the masses will imp
ly have to go without potatoes.
Not only will the available sup
ply of theproduct diminish, but
prices will soar far beyond the
normal market. And we have
no other great food supply to
draw upon.
"We should easily double or
treble our potato production
without any increase in acreage.
In Germany the average pro
duction is about iHK) bushels to
the acre; in the United States
only N. With intensive scienti
fic methods of culture on my
Carbondale farm 1 never pro
duce less than X bushels per
acre, and without the use of
commercial lertm.ers. i in
goes to show what American
soil will do when given a chance
"At first 1 found it haiid to be
lieve that American farm prac
tice was fifty years behind that
of Kurope, but the more 1 saw
the more this disagreeable truth
was forced home to me. Luther
Hurbank says that half of all
human effort is wasted by not
knowing how. and this remark
applies with crushing truth to
