BIG CIRCUSES
HAVE MERGED
NEW YORK, April 11— After thir
ty - odd years of being merely tne
Greatest Show on Earth, the Barnum
and Bailey Circus has taken a definite
step toward becoming a shade more
I Why be satisfied with the wear you
I get from ordinary boots
when you get so much more from “Hi-Prcss?
This is no idle claim, but a fact proven by miners,
farmers and construction workers from Alaska to
Mexico. “Hi-Press” is made by a new and better
method—thegreatest advance in footwear in fifty ) cars.
We use the toughest rubber ever evolved—actually the
same kind that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires. There
seems to be no wear-out to it. And the boot is molded
INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
Can’t leak or come apart—and
it’s wonderfully comfortable.

When next you hit the trail try the
Shupac—shown here. lhe White
Hip is best for iho sluices, and there
are many other styles.* Ask for the
footwear with the Red Line ’Round

glittering, twice as gorgeous, and in
finitely more galaxatious by tossing
into its three rings the entire talenr.
and equipment of the Ringling Broth
ers Stupendous Circus. When New
York becomes sawdust struck at the
usual season this spring it will ente *
Madison Square Garden to have its
collective eyes widened by the colossus
of all amusements, “Ringling Brother>
and Barnum and Bailey Combined.”
All that the Greatest Show on Earth
has meant to the people of New Yor e
each year at its Madison Square Gar
den bow is represented in what the
Ringling Brothers Stupendous Circus
has meant to Chicago and points
West. Now , with all the Circus talent
in the world under a single tent or
roof the great new combination will
sweep into both Chicago and Nc v
Vork and stop all over the nation win
something in the way of entertain
ment which defies the force of ad
jectives.
The consolidation just announce*!
is the most important that has boon
effected in the circus world since IV
T. Barnum and James A. Bailey merg
ed their enterprises in 1887. The
Ringling Brothers are the proprietor
and managing directors of the new in
stitution. They are the founders of the j
Ringling Brothers Circus, and, sine'* |
its purchase by them in 1907, hav^ .
managed and produced the Barnum &
Bailey Show.
The show which New York is to se?
will introduce all of the arenic feat
ures and pageant displays that would
under the old arrangement, be divid
ed between New York and Chicago. Tj
these will be added a host .of foreign
importations. As for the youngsters of
the Western metropolis, they will not
be given an opportunity to feed the
elephants this spring- at least not the
Ringling Brothers’ nor yet these ani- j
mals will be at Madison Square Gar
den.

wool, TRADE BEING FREED
LONDON, April 11— The wool trade
of Great Britian, which has been con
trolled by the government since the
middle of 1916. is gradually being
freed from restrictions and soon wiU
be practically on a pre-war basis. The
only remaining restriction will be that
the government, which has bought the
forthcoming Australian clip, will act
as merchants and put this on the mar
ket at auctions at fixed minimum
prices, which, however, will be some
what elastic as the sales proceed.
