The Omaha World-Herald, for 50 years one of the leading Democratic newspapers of the Middle West and once edited by William Jennings Bryan, has definitely stamped itself as opposed to President Roosevelt and the New Deal policies his administration stands for.

She is positively the only elephant in I the world so thoroughly trained. Another- animal attracting un- usual attention with this show is "Topsey," the pet chimpanzee of I the outfit. Topsey is smarter than most children at the age of six or seven and is' as affectionate as any child. One only need to be with "Topsey" a few minutes to be convinced that her mind is almost human. Part of the time "Topsey" dresses as a boy and some of the time as a girl.

She prefers to go barefooted and is fond of cats for playmates. She drinks six cups of coffee daily and never gets enough sweets. Both the elephant and the chimpanzee are very affectionate to ward their trainers and dislike being kept away from them. Many chimpanzees have died as a result of being separated from some person they Those two animals with the Russell circus are two of many reasons why this show is so different from other circuses. much that is best In American lift!" todav."
