Salem, Oregon; Sunday Morning. June 18 1933 a.- - OLD JOHN Three Herds of Elephants Comina: With Rarnps Tirona t Which Shows Traveling aboard three sneclal trains the Al O. Barnes Circus will be In Salem Saturday, June 24 for performances at 2 and 8 p.m. With the big show this season are three herds of elephants, none more famous than Old John, the pilot pachyderm who has been with the show for 25 vears. There are less than 200 elephants in America and all excepting a few are natives of India. The excep tions are the few from Africa. The distinguishing marks of the two species are principally the ears. With the African elephants the ears are much larger and when the huge beast becomes angry the ear resembles a large fan. The Indian elephant Is much gentler and consequently more easily adapted for his life with the circus. Of all beasts the elephant Is the most sagacious. He never forgets. Trainers aver that after a lapse of half a century the ele- pnant win conduct his perform ance as perfectly as if but 24 hours had gone bv. Onlv a few elephants have ever been known to have been born In America. WILLIAM P. M ORCHARD HEIGHTS. June 17. William P.

He was an African animal and very stupid but always good-natured. He was killed by a switch engine while enroute from the show grounds to his car, at St. Thomas, Ont., in July, 1885. He was never south of Louisville, Ky., or west of Omaha. Jumbo's stuffed hide may be seen at Amherst college, while the skeleton is on exhibition in the museum of Yale university. According to Capt. McClain, the superintendent of elephants with the Al O. Barnes circus, their food Is principally hay. They will thrive best on an exclusive diet of a good grade of hay with the usual bushel of peanuts they "mooch" during the day. The ele phant Is rightly termed a "hay burner," for even the smallest will consume several hundred pouds dally. Their appetite is best tested by the fact that they eat almost continuously 20 hours a day. It is seldom thv sleep morethan four hours.

James E. Smith, county commissioner, commented Tostor day after covering the territory Quite thoroughly in his road in spection wora- during the week. "The snrinr rrain la TriUn- the hay crop, while planted late oecause or the freeie, is strong; berries will be llrht an very few but cherries are good." bmltn attributed the fine growth to the late rains which held back the summer hpat and permitted the reseeded crops to get a good start. Some alfalfa has been cut the first time as has clover, both crops going Into hay. Smith said farmers generally were feeling better. When 140 sacks of potatoes were purchased for relief work in the county, as high as 11.50 a hundred was paid because of the shortage which had developed after the 50-cents a hundred pice which prevailed in February. WAol at 26 to 28 cents, fruit and strawberries higher, hops to 75 cents and butterfat higher all have brought optimism to the general farmer. Smith pointed out. LEGBE SAYS SCHOOL E "Some of our very best citizens and large taxpayers asked me to become a candidate for rh nni di rector." Fred A. Legge. Salem ar chitect, declared yesterday. Legge consequently is one of the five candidates from among whom the voters at tomorrow's school elec tion will choose two directors. "My policy will be retrench ment wherever possible within reason." Lesge stated; "wasteful methods and duplication will be strictly avoided." He said he be lieved school taxes could be low ered further without cutting teachers' salaries. Mr. Legge was several times ar chitect for the schools in the per iod 1909 to 1914 in which, he says, "we spent almost 1165, 000 In new buildings and recon ditioning the old ones. . . Our tax es during this building period were not Increased materially. But our tax levy during the last five years has more than doubled what it was 20 years aeo and thA enrollment has only Increased a little over 40 per cent." Farmers Union Meet is Called BETHEL.
