Trains Elephants F'l Stella Cronin is not only one of (he pretty girls with John Robinson’s Circus, but she is also ons of the most talented. Miss Cronin handles one of the largest groups - of elephants with any circus, making these big brutes perform startling routines. In addition she is an accomplished equestrienne and a rider of ability. John Robinson’s Circus comes to this community within a few davs for afternoon and night exhibitions. One of the features will be the augmented menagerie, which includes “Tinymite,” the smallest hippopotamus before the public, “Amazon,” a saddle-back tapir from South America, “Caesar” and “Empress,” two of (ho largest tigers in captivity, “Big Tom," largest dromedary in this country and “Victor,” the b’ggest hippopotamus. » The 1929 performance is new from start to finish, including the Flying Wards, the LaMott Arabs, Hollis Family. The Rudynott Riders and other European equestrian families and a host of clowns, headed by Harry LaPearl. John Robinson’s Circus will exhibit at Fort Wayne, Thursday, May 9. ’ OBITUARY Mr. Henry S. Michaud, who was called to his Heavenly reward was laid lo rest on May 3, 1929. He leaves not only the members of his immediate family, but also a host ot friends to mourn his loss. He was a devoted and active member of the Presbyterian church. He was president of the advisory board. He was a deacon, who made that office of real worth not only to the church but also to those it served. His interest in the Sunday school was such that he felt it to be a misfortune if lie could not be present. His interest in the afflicted as well as the unfortunate made him dear to the hearts of many. His Christianity was practical, forgetting himself he ministered to those who were less fortunate than he. It can well be said of him —“1 was hungry and ye gave me meat. I was thirsty and ye gave me drink. I was naked and ye clothed me. I was sick and ye visited me.” The great God who loves us can say “well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.’’ For to Him, to live is Christ and to die is gain. o Southern Flood Waters Are Gradually Receding -(U.R) - The storm situation in the south and mid west was improved today but a new menace appeared in New England, where flood conditions imperiled hundreds of livec. A small village was wiped out and great property damage caused by the bursting of two dams in New Hampshire. Rivers were rising in Maine and Vermont. A check of the storm damage in seven southern states east, ot the Mississippi showed 38 persons dead, nearly 200 injured and widespread damage to property and crops. After 24 hours of gales on the Great Lakes shipping, was beginning to move cautiously. Two vessels were aground in Ijike Erie and a disabled passenger ship was towed to port. The eastern seaboard reported heavy damage from continued rains.

FRENCH NOW USING BANKS i’aris, May 3,—(UP)— Frenchmen are abandoning the old sugar bowl, the woolen sock for the bright and shiny savings banks, figures published by LOtficleL the Congressional Record of France,, indicate. On deposit in the savings bank of France on December 31 were 17.961.664.203 francs which is almost a billion dollars, representing an increase over 1927 of 3.355,406.280 francs. The number of accounts was 9.251,791 which 608,888 were new ones. These statistics are regarded as interesting in view of the belief entertained universally that the wealth of France could not be revealed satistically liecause most of it was hoarded and hidden from the eye of the government calculators. o — — Not Greek to Her Even tlie somewhat unfamiliar Greek letter alphabet gets Itself translated somehow. When nine-year-old Dorothy was entertained at dinner for the first time at a fraternity house which bore tlie Greek symbols over tlie door, one of them being the letter Omega in its Greek form, she was heard afterward relating her social career at the “A. T. Horsheshoe” house. Q. Russian Names The Soviet Union Information bureau says that the masculine endings for Russian patronymics are “ovitch,” “evltch” or “itch,” the corresponding feminine ending being “ovna” or “evna.” in the example cited Anna Ptrovna is equivalent to Anna, daughter of Peter, meaning that her father’s first name is Peter. Her brother, if his first name were Ivan, would be called Ivan Petrovitch, meaning Ivan, son of Peter. Palming Off Counterfeit* Science, says Professor Burtt of Chicago university is evolving the new type of human being. Isn't It n sweetly solemn thought that we shall no longer have to put up with the accidental type thnj nature has been palming off on us? o Life a Struggle Get as much variety Into your life ns possible. Travel if you can. If that Is impossible, road books that tell about other people, how they think, act and leel. Keep the mind fresh, alert, active nnd Interested if you would prevent boredom.
