CIRCUSES PREPARING FOR ANNUAL OPENING

Unmistakable signs of spring are in evidence at West Baden, the winter quarters of some of the largest circuses in the United States. Within a few weeks the season will be under way. At this time of the year there is plenty of action in the big barns, where animals are being kept in training by daily practice performances. The men of the circus are feeling the call of the saw-dust. They insist the business has a call all °f its own and it is felt most just before theannual opening.
