Unusual inte est centers around the gigantic spe tacle, "Cinderella," with which the f imous show1 men are this season of ening their wonderful main tent proj ram. "Cin' derella" is probably the l^est loved of all fairy tales and to see it produced 1 ' with more than 1000 persons, hun- j f dreds of (lancing girls ^nd glorious 1 pageants, indeed gives promise of making "childhood's golden dreams' come true." In the same great tent, will come the marvelous circds numbers i in which 400 men and women performt ers, scores of trained animals and a i galaxy of special features are iutro1 duced. The majority of the acts are ! entirely new to America, the Ringling 1 Bros, having secured the pick of l those Kuroiiean performers who have been obliged to seek engagements In , this country because of the war. The ? all-new street parade will take place p show day morning. r Newspaper Advertising More Effective 1 Than Circular Letters. | John Lee Mahin, a Chicago adverf Using exi>ert, says that If merchants r would use the same copy contained in a circular letter and place it in their local papethey would secure greater circulation at less exjiense. The cost of a iwstage, paper, und labor in a cirj cular letter will buy considerable newss paper space. j. If some merchants would put the j same careful thought into their newspaper ads that they employ in writing a circular letter, they would get still j more for their money. j The Chronicle now only $1 a year, t ~t il === = I A Distincti n What is the chief ority of Royal Baking There are several ? is one which distinguii \ baking powders.
