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. 4l-TBubscrike for The News $1. 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 A mencan farming.
