Veteran circus men and close ob servers predict the sawdust rings will be back “bigger and better” next year, if the business pickup continues and normal weather pre vails. But just so everything won’t be left to chance, an organization of circus fans has mapped out a nationwide program to “keep the circus from going the way of the small-town opera house” — and vaudeville, too. Ringling First to Fold. The Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey circus first ruptured the “show must go on” tradition, when, beset by labor troubles and dwin dling receipts, it packed up at Scran ton, Pa., early in the season and moved into winter quarters at Sara sota, Fla. The Downie Brothers circus, owned by Charles Sparks, closed in Delaware in mid-summer. When the Cole Brothers-Clyde Beatty circus pulled stakes at the height of .the season and headed for winter quarters at Rochester, Ind., it became the third major “big top” to fold this year. Misfortune also overtook the little shows. The Sells-Sterling cir cus, a motorized show well known in the Middle West, closed at She boygan, Wis. Two smaller shows folded up in the East. Circus lovers, however, aren’t tak ing this sitting down. At Madison, Wis., the Circus Fans Association of America assigned a subcommit tee to work out a plan for preserv ing an “institution typically Ameri can.” Co-operating with the associa tion, groups of advertising men have banded behind the leadership of Frank W. Magin of Detroit in a “save the circus” movement. i s Look these over! W e will be glad to lay one away for you with a small down payment. ) a rly to w h ich it is ad ap ted .

Herm iston D rug Co. DETROIT.—The federal govern ment’s only “ floating post office” has started its forty-third year of service on the Great Lakes. This sea-going postal substation is a mail boat equipped to give all the serv ices of a land post office to crew members and passengers of boats cruising the lakes. It has a postal savings department, can cash or issue money orders, and maintains a parcel post department. For men who ply between ports all summer, it functions as the only tie between them and their wives and families. Many sailors find its parcel post service a happy solution to the laundry problem. This sea man’s substation handles about 2,- 000,000 pieces of mail a season. Grape Vine Grows Peaches in Bunches WELLINGTON, OHIO.—A wild grape vine that grows peaches iri bunches has been discovered by John Hillikel, music store pro prietor here. The clusters of the strange fruit look exactly like bunches of grapes except that the fruit is covered with the usual peach fuzz and is not as nearly spherical as the grape. The bunches of peaches are much larger than bunches of grapes which are growing on the same vine. The center of the peach is hard and contains what appears to be a developing peach stone. The grape vine which bears the hy brids spans a scrawny-looking peach tree and Hilliker believes this made cross pollenation pos sible. th e release of 588 w h eat lo an s as of D ecem ber 10th.
