There Is no circus of the present
regimo that has catered to the amuse,
ment going people of the United States
nuicn longer than that of the Spark3
Three Ring Circus which come s to
MJlledgeville on Friday, October, 14.
It will be the 34th, annual tour of this
aggregation which has steadily grown
from a small two car affair, to the
magnitude of the three ring class and
this year finds it more complete in
extraordinary features than ever be
fore.
Probably one of the show’s strong,
est features is Miss Flora Bedini re.
puted to be the most daring and ac.
compllslied ride? in this, or any other
country. There’3 a reason—Mis;
bedini conies of a family of noted
rid-frs, in fact her family were all
riders of repute even before the
Sparks Circus was in existence.
When but n little girl she was brough'
to this country by her father who at
that time was one of the featured
riders with Ringland Brother.
The Sparks Circus is coming to
Millcdg-ivllle, on their own trains of
double length care and will pitch
their tent3 at Ennis Heights.
Two performances will be given
daily in the spacious tent which has
a seating capacity of 10,000. The
street parade which is one mile in
length will pacs thru tho principal
streets of the city at 10:30 A. M. and
will be a kaleidoscopic procession of
glitter and color, all cages being open
to view.

Forty-three disasters, resulting in
the death in the United States of 8-50
persons and the injury of 2,500 called
fur emergency relief measures un.l
the expenditure of $1,871,000 by the
American Red Cross during the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1921, says an
announcement bnsed upon the forth
coming annual report of the Red Cross.
These disasters caused property dam
age estimated at $50.000,000, affected
sixty-seven communities and rendered
35,000 families homeless.
The year's disasters were of vary
ing types, including several which pre
viously had never been thought of
as falling within that classifica
tion. The Red Cross furnished
relief In seventeen fires of magnitude
five floods, seven tornadoes or cy
clones, one devastating storm, three
explosions, Including the one In Wall
street; one building accident, twj
typhoid epidemics, the most serious be
ing that at Salem, Ohio, which af
feeted 9 per cent of the population;
one smallpox epidemic, In the republic
of Haiti: one train wreck, the race riot
at Tulsa, Okla.; the famine lu China,
emergency relief In famine among the,
Indians of Alaska, the grasshopper
plague In North Dakota and an earth
quake In Italy.
Pueblo Most Serious
By far the most severe of the dis
asters In the United States during the
period covered by the Red Cross re
port was the Pueblo flood early In
June, 1921. The rehabilitation prob
lem confronting the Red Cross in
Puelhlo was one of the most difficult
in recent years. When the first news
of the horror was flashed throughout
the country, the American Red Cross
National Headquarters responded with
a grant of $105,000 for relief work.
Governor Slump of Colorado, appre
ciating tho lmi" und successful experi
ence of the Fted Cross In organizing
disaster relief work, placed the en
tire responsibility tor the administra
tion of relief in Its hands.
In response to appeals from Presi
dent Harding, Governor Shoup nn>1
other governors of western states and
through local chapters of the Red
are finished Cross and other community organiza
tions, public-spirited citizens brought
the total contributed for Pueblo's re
habilitation to more tlinn $525,OCX).
The terrible havoc wrought by the
flood waters Is a matter of record.
More thnn 2,500 homes were affected
and 7,851 persons were left homeless.
Estimates of $500,000 ns an absolute
minimum for rehabilitation were made
by Red Cross officials In charge of tha
relief work.
Fast Work In Wall Street
The Wall street explosion was nota
ble In that relief workers of the Red
Cross were_on Hie scene twenty min
utes utter the disaster occurred. The
race riot at Tulsa also was unique In
disaster relief annuls In that outside
of a sinntl emergency relief fund con
tributed by the Itcd Cross, the only
relief measures outside the city con
sisted of the service of social work
ers, nurses and r trained executive
whose object was to assist local forces
In directing their own efforts.
In decided 'contrast with the pre
vious year, only one tornado assumed
the proportions of a major disaster.
Tills occurred on April 15, In the bor
der sections of Texas and Arkansas
with the city of Texarkana as the
center. The significant feature of this
disaster relief work was the fact that
it covered s > much rural territory
to make necessary a large number of
relief workers.
The famine In Flilnn, necessitating
relief expenditures totalling more than
$1,000,000 by the American Red Cross
was by f.ir lla* niosi serious of the
foreign disasters In which the Red
Cross gave aid.
Bailda Up I to Machinery
In connection with the udmlnistrn
tlen of disaster relief measures, an lit
creasing effectiveness on the part of
the lied Cross to deal with emergen
cies was manifested during the past
year. In 328 Chapters of the Ameri
can Ilt'd Cross (here have been formed
special committees to survey the re
sources of their respective coinmunl
ties and to he prepared In case of
disaster. In others of tlie 3,402 active
Chapters, a network of communication
has been formed through which Instan
taneous relief may lie dispatched to
any part of the United States.
That its work lit this Held may he
continued with ever greater effective*
ness, the American Red Cross is ap
pealing for widespread renewal of
membership during Its Annual Roll
Call, to be conducted tills year from
November 11 to 24.
The County Board of Education
will receive bids to build additions
to the following school buildings:
