John Robinson’s Circus Has Many Wild Animals Trained wild animals displays are numerous this year with the John Robinson circus, the greatest trained wild animal circus on earth, which is making its 101 anniversary tour of the North American continent and which will appear in Fort Wayne on Wednesday, June 25. In one of the many displays baby elephants, tiny ponies and big dogs give, it is said, a remarkable illustration of what can be accomplished by persistent and kindly trainers of dumb animals. These groups go through their stunts with the precision of soldiers on parade, and with an eagerness that suggests that they actually enjoyed th !r work. This is only one of the many clever trained animal displays announced for the John Robinson circus. There are three herds of wonderful performing elephants; savage groups of lions, tigers, leopards, pumas and other "cat" animals; polar bears that ride horseback; funny lltte hurros; ponies that go spinning on a whirlwind table like equine tops; there are monkeys that ride dogs and dogs that ride ponies and baboons that drive tiny Roman chariots drawn by swift-ly-speeding cannies. and other exhibitioas of trained animal intelligence to delight the youngsters and to interest the grown-ups. There are thrills galore. There are air acrobats who go flying across the great arena; gymnasts who perform every known feat of acrobatics; bare back equestralns, whirlwind riders; u entire ballet of aerial butterfly d*a< ers, and fifty-one downs, who are always slipping an occasional bit of burlesque and jollity into the varied program. The greatest spectide ever produced, "Peter Pan in Animal Land." will open jthe program. Circng 'ay will be inaugurated with » new and novel street parade of ■ore than a mile In length, which is; •rheduled to leave the exhibition grounds at 11 a.m.

Grain Prices Well Above bast Year; Corn Goes Up The grain market continued in a firm position during the week ending '7 21 ' aCCOrdln * to the weekly last year. Corn and wheat prices reached new high levels for the crop t 0 date but at Pe wheat prices were oft slightly from the high point. Continued reports of reduced acreage and unfavorable weather conditions were )urgely responsible for the firm position maintained by both wheat and corn. Weather conditions m the United States wheat belt, however, were improving rapidly toward the close of the week. The hot wave in the southwest has been broken by showers and the weather In the spring wheat belt ha s been Ideal for the growth of the grain. The movement of the new crop has begun in Oklahoma, the first car from this state having been received at Wichita on Monday. New wheat was also received nt Fort Worth and Kansas City. All of this wheat was of excellent quality with rather low moisture content. One car at Kansas City contained only 9 per cent, moisture. There was nn excellent demand for cash wheat of good quality at practically all of the markets and cash prices were the highest for the season. No. 1. dark northern selling as high as 11.50 at Minneapolis and No. 2 dark hard winter selling at $1.30 at Kansas City. The car of new wheat at Wichita sold at 11.02 shippers track of 11.20 basis Kansas City. The com market continued its upward trend and reached new high levels for the season both in cash and futures. Current prices are now 3 cents-5 cents higher than at the corresponding time last year. Prospects of a smaller crop and light receipts were the principal strengthening factors. Weather conditions, however, have become much more favorable and the crop was marking good growth over a good part of the com belt. The oats market was also firm and prices advanced 1c to 2c per bushel during the week. Receipts at most of the markets were not large and commercial stocks are small. New oats from Texas were selling almost as hlght as the prices at which old oats from the north were being offered in southern markets. There was a good shipping demand for rye throughout the week with some buying by mills and some Inquiry from exporters. Eight hundred thousand bushels of rye were reported loaded at Duluth for eastern shipment Elevator stocks of rye at Minneapolis were decreased almost a half million bushels. The future price advanced slightly during the week and beat grades of rye sold at Minneapolis at 71-71 l-2c. The offerings of barley continued of small volume and prices held firm. Good malting qualities were scarce and wanted. ERE( TING TENT (Continued From Page One) row night. No afternoon session is scheduled for the first day.

VAN NUYS (Continued From Page One) Adoo men on the delegations are for an out-and-out anti-klau plank. They claim turther hav - approximately goo votes already HnM tip for a majority report and that when the will was called there would lie appro’ imately 800 ballots cast against the Mcgdnn Ilan plank. Buch an ove r whelming defeat for the McAdoo element in the convention they are convinced. would definitely elimin ate him if indeed he would refuse t r run on a platform bearing such a plank. United Press Headquarters. Waldorf Hotel. New York. June JJ—(Special to Daily Democrat)—With William G. McAdoo and his supporter* attacking the “entrenched interest*” of N«w York ! n their effort to pre serve the democratic presidential nomination for th* west, with the fight against the K. K. K. growing in intensity and with all delegates on hand, opposing forces were forming rapidly today for what William Jennings Bryan says "will be the great est national convention tn the history of the democratic party.” Convention work opens with clouded political skies from which verbal holts of Increasing bitterness are behurled among the rival factions.

The center of the storm is McAdoo, who is battling to hold his forces in line against, the combined assaults of big eastern delegations and the press. And. as this struggle ranges toward the day when balloting will determine who Is to lead the party at the polls th.'s year another bitter battle goes on over increasing demands by anti klan leaders for a plank specifying denunciation of that organization. Ed Moore, of Ohio, who has come out with the stronest proposed plank on the subject yet offered, claims a poll of the delegations shows a majority— a; ]i oxi(mately 90 votes —is ready to be registered for a direct ant ; klan plank. It Is certain the resolutions committee will write a plank stronger than that of the republican convention at Cleveland, but it will not name the klan. It is when this report Is made to the convention that the real test on the Issue will come. Mooro and others threaten to carry the tight to the floor—and if they do so, old Madison Square Garden will ring with one of the most dramatic debates ever recorded in convention annals. For the moment, however, the Interest of delegates is primarily directed at the fierce fight McAdoo is making to maintain his position as lender in the convention. Besides him in his fight stands the veteran Bryan, who arried In Now York yesterday. McAdoo's fight is the sort of fight Bryan likes. And, probably through Bryan's counsel, McAdoo has personally made his Issue along lines old and familiar to the commoner — the issue of the free and open west against "invisible government of the east." In launching his open attack along I this line during an address to some 300 delegatefl gathered in his head quarters last night, McAdoo completey cut the strings that might have been pulled on the leaders here. The New York Morning Herald, which has led in the attack on him. appeared this morning with an editorial asnouncing itself fuur square for the nomination of Governor Al Smith. In the minds of some of the McAdoo leaden, the stand McAdoo has taken eons beyond the mere personalities of the respective candidates. The nomination this y°ar, in the opinion of such men are (Jovernor Sweet of Colorado, will determine the party's future for good and all. “It Is truly the party's last chance in the west,” savs Sweet, who btuleves that If the west Is disappointed the farmers will provide the basis for a permanent th'rd party. According to the best possible e«tlm.> <•». McAdoo today could command i at least HS delegates at the peak of , his strength—a majority of the convention. Up to the present, the opposition. headed by flie New York leaders and George Brennan of Illinois. have had the upper hand. Tom Taggart of Indiana, however, continues al<s>f from that organization opposition for reason entirely understandaid-* in view of McAdoo'* past aid to both Tag tan and Senator Sam ml M. Ralston, who Is Taggart's I "first and second choice” for the nomination. McAdoo ha* Iw-gun to fight back, and he Is a good two-fisted fighter. Whatever may be the ultimate decison of the delegate*. the moral* of the McAdoo forces is better today now that he has swung into action It has given at least temporary pause to the trend which set in against him. One of the most Inn-resting Im mediate results—due perhaps to the appearance of Bryan firmly standing at the aide of the CalifornUn ba* been a weakening of the John W. Davis boom Concurrent with the diminution of the Davl* boom, arrival of several

special trainloads of James M. Cox et thusiasts from central and north ern Ohio, brought the 1920 democratic standard bearer more into the limelight. Over Sunday leaders of the antiMcAdoo forces continued their conferences, the last one, presided over by George Brennan, and with Franklin Roosevelt, direetoi of the Smith campaign, in attendance. They believe the Californian has not yet been, but certainly will be stopped. There is no doubt that the phychologteal strength of Smith's position before the ((invention Ims been Increased maten'aUy by the open, un-l stinted editorial support today of the New York World. Giving over the main portion of Its editorial page to a frank and effective appeal for the' New York governor, the World, at the same time, strikis out directly against McAdoo. o U. S. Marsha! lias Not Arrest Butler Yet At three o'clock this afternoon the United States Marshall from Indianapolis, who will be sent here to arrest Mel J. Butler, former city mail carrier, on a charge of embexling and unlawwful opening of the malls, had not yet arrived. It was thought that the official would arrive sometime today or that word would lie received heri-. Mr. Butler Is still confined tothe Adams County Jail. Following the U. S. Marshall's arrival here he will be taken to Fort Wayne and given a preliminary hearing. LOOK OUT FOR | SELF POISONING! Neglect of the liver results in self poisoning!
