CIRCUS IS COMING

BIRTHDAY DINNER

“Hurry-y-y, we’re going to feed the wild man.” ‘‘Stand closer to the platform, please.’’ All of which concerns the bally-ho man. An unexploited member of the how life he is, working day and night; his lungs, his throat, slowly turning to leather—that the wonders beneath the side-show canvas may be told of, and just as the great canvases are needed, so is he needed. Thus it is that soon there will come the sound of his voice, the tapping of his cane and his appeals to the onlookers to “stepaside,’’ for, on Tuesday, May 27, the Gentry Bros.-Jas, Patterson Circus comes to Greencastle for a day’s visit on the Locust Street grounds. According to the most iron clad promises of those in advance of the show, it has almost doubled in size since its last visit here. Many are the features with the show this year, for instance—the Holliss’s, America’s ( Greatest Bareback Riders; CottrellPowells, European Equestrian Marvels; Matlock Troupe of Slack Wire Artists; McKeon Family, Acrobatic and Wire Feats; trained horses and the famous troupes of Gentry performing dogs and ponies. As an extra attraction, the management has, by special arrangement, been able to secure an assorted trie of genuine North American Indians, who will enact all the scenes incident to their war dances and native life. The big street parade will leave the grounds at 11 a. m. Two performances wall be given, 2:15 and 8:15 p. m.; doors open at 1 and 7 p. m. Don’t forget the day ana date, Tuesday, May 27.

The annual family birthday dinner of Mrs. Brothers and Mrs. Leightly j was held at their home, 10 Olive i street, Sunday, May 18. Those pres- \ ent were Ed. Robart, Flora Agnes, | Etta Walton, Mrs. Mason, Miss Ellis, ^ Mr. and Mrs. Westmyer and children Ruth, Verna and Junior of Indian- , apolis, Charles Grantham and wife, Harry Grantham and wife and daughter Florence of Roachdale, Charles Watson and wife, Jake Eitel, wife and children Kenneth and Anna Marie, Mrs. Lou Hillis, Verna Knauer and Rosa Knauer of Greencastle.

She will be assigned to some special field by the university extension department, and in all probability her work will take her into various sections of the state, where she will act in an advisory capacity to the home bureaus. Her resignation was accepted with regret by the executive board of the executive board of the county home bureau yesterday, five of the eight members of the board being in attendance. Mrs. W. N. Phillips of Rock Island, president of the organization, presided. Miss Allen received her degree of bachelor of science at the University of Illinois shortly before beginning her duties as Rock Island county home advisor in July, 1921, and her experience has been of a character which will qualify her for the place of assistant state leader.

SPLIT 50-50

The DePatrtr freshman athletes split a twin bill frith the Wabash yearlings at Crawford.sVilie on Friday afternoon, winning the track meet by a 69 to 67 count and losing

the ball game, 12 to 7.

In the thinly clad events, Sturt-

ridge, a husky Tiger Kitten, romped around the track and field for a total of 25 points, or four firsts, on®

second and two third places. The Frosh baseball aggregation

fought valiantly but succumbed to a vicious onslaught of the Scarlet first year men in the closing innings of

play.

QUALIFICATIONS SOON INDIANAPOLIS, May 19-Driv-ers of cars entered for the 500 mile auto races at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Decoration Day today were going into the straightaway of the training period. Only a few more days remain until the qualification trials start, and most of the drivers are behind with their preliminary trainng. Bad weather has kept the races in' the garages a considerable portion of the time since their arrival. Tommp Mliton, winner of laA; year’s race, will pilot the same Miller Special in which he made 141.17 miles an hour on a dry bed in California. Eddie Hearne, champion of two years ago is tuning up his Durant Special for a long, hard race—probably the hardest race ever run on the local track. Newcomers at the Indianapolis speedway are attracting a lot of attention, especially the “Kells Hornet” piloted by F. H. Wells and the Hartley Special, with C. G. Hartley at the wheel.
