On the end of the parachute strings was tied a small calf, which kicked and scrembled wildly as he descended into the wide field below. From a small truck nearby ran several men who released the calf and carried it and the parachute to the waiting truck and drove oH'. V At an aviation field the same plane descended slowly, settled easily ,upon the ground and coasted to a gentle stop near the hangar, and from the plane emerged the pilot, John Kruetzkamp, owner of Kruetzkamp's Aerial Transport Co. His calculations were alright we allow' The marble facade of a large building came to new In gold letters above the doorway announced the Bank of N01 wood The beautiful bronze doors swung wide which al lowed a view of the lnterior filled with busy people On either side of the aisle were numerous small cages at which many clerks were busy some vsaltlng on customers, others occupied with books At the far end of the aisle between the rows of offices was a door bearing the word President The President of this bank was also a phllanthxoplst a man who gave away gold for the love of giving no good cause went unheeded, no amount too large or too small that he did not expiess his noble soul in material aid to the needv Especially was he generous to the hungry for he had known the pangs of hunger in his youth and was proud of the fact that his constitution could withstand the amount of food he could eat. - He was winner of the grand prixe, awarded by the Ohio Mechanics Institute in 1928, to the biggest eater-and the loving cup which he won bears the name William Schell.

X 1.2 nose in a concealed position That same night a small billboard displaying the fol lowing, appeared in front of the Grand Opera House in Rumpus Itidge Monsana 'Extra' Dazzling Holly Park the heart breaker and William Jesse, handsomest man on the screen, in a shi reel feature Nell of the Roaring Gulch The same evening a monstrous electric signboard high above Broadway flashed the same message Off the stage Miss Paiks is known as a baker of delicious pies and cakes having won several prizes for her efforts in this hobby A lccelpe for her famous Hvdrochlorxc tea cake will be sent to anyone Qlegardless whether they reside in Norwood or west of the Rocluesj upon receipt of ten cents Mr Jesse is well known to the public from breenlands icy shores to Lockland Ohio and needs no introduction His hobby consists of carving wooden bells from peach stones, at which he is very successful. A surprise awaited us. Just as the observers were manipulating the machine for the next Futuroscope the strains of Mary Lou burst upon our ears and through the lens we spied-a circus! A circus in this day and age! A circus in the true sense of the word! Lions 'n tigers 'n everything! Gay, prancing, white horses and riders bedecked in purple and gold-huge lumbering elephants, swaying and gliding rather than walking-and stoic Hindu attendants riding easily atop their heads- High-hatty camels with that Have I met you before air about them-well-groomed ponies--bright colored wagons clowns and more bands the cages of wild beasts more lions tigers, hyenas, lizards, snakes, and bears, n everything Screaming and hooting a wailing tune in steam came the callope end of the parade With the lens we followed the winding parade to the circus grounds where it disbanded lVe were interested to know the coming events which soon appeared In front of one large tent, stood the usual huge canvas paintings of fire eaters sword svsallowers monsters of past ages, Jewels of Egyptian Kings the wild man from Borneo, the hypnotlst the mmdreader the electric chair, and the man who can stand ten thousand volts, and lastly the strong man' What circus has not its strong-man? In front of this array of posters and upon a long plat- form stood a small giant-small in stature-a giant in buildg muscles like ropes were visible beneath the skin, even the fingers were heavily muscled, evidence of the super-man. As the bally-hoo artist below him yelled his message to the ignorant world the strong-man turned his head, from side to side, surveying the crowd. The face was heavily bearded, and the eyes showed the calmness of the deep thinker. And nowg crid the barker, concluding his sermon I will introduce this man to youg this man of super-human strength, possessor of the thing you all love to haveg the 'in 1 ri it-'- -' i I as .v . - I .n -v .s --- -- I - -1 -1 ' ' fQllAvYlV7i'fhY AYYITIAUFDXV l7li'fli'7li'7137.l'flY'7li'TQ'-'7li'lS'7lWll'lli'KYlLT7Qx'?l?iQfflwll' 'w': W . w'lQx'2'LWl 'l'lN':lx'lli1lu'.lN'1l1'.Qx' QNCK . -,W a1gQ4:Qg,Q.Q1.xmv7qlifmlm 1.64 C il M If A lsgjggigr-xv:-iw.m.xv1.lv4.xvlQ:cini1gimpimg .'
