To the circus fan peanuts and pachyderms are synonpmous and to countless thousands a visit to the circus would not be complete without a trip through Hie menagerie where happy moments are spent feeding the towering, friendly and gentle giants of the jungles. With the Gentry Bros. Circus, which comes to Decatur, Saturday, May 11. are two big herds of elephants and their many unusual offerings have won wide acclaim as the best trained herds of elephants in America. "Moms.,' 110-years-old, is the leader of one of the herds and "Modoc” is the leader of the other herd. "Moms” — whose photograph is shown above is a remarkable elephant in many respects. Although a few months past her 110-th birthday she is as active and industrious in her performance as in any time during the long career this elephant has had. The strength of this elephant has returned home Sunday evening, after spending the hitter part of the week visiting friends in Chicago.
