ee ee ae — The Circus Lands on War ren’s airport, Saturday, when King Brothers comes to town with 150 performers, 250 animals, and a wild west show featuring Clarence Canary, and his horse Rowdy, both seen in many bang bang movies. And there will be a parade at 11:30, one of the few presented by circuses these days, with bands, calliopes, fancy wagons, elephants, and cowgirls. The doors open at one and seven, the big shows start at two and eight. The Farrah Grotto is the local sponsor. River improvement enthusiasts, or at least those who want river transportation, will have their an nual association convention at Em lenton, June 26. James H.

He is Yates Catlin. Six Class A Drum Corps will compete in Warren’s Fourth of July contest this year, and four already have been signed. To see them you will be able to purchase a reserved seat for $1.50, of which there will be a thousand. The Fourth committee asks those who plan to enter floats to send in their inquiry cards. Leon Christian sen is in charge of this detail which includes bigger float prizes than those previously awarded. And Miss Warren county candi dates still are very much wanted. If you would like to enjoy sending your inquiry in on a neat, white bit of paper, on which it will be easy to write with either ink or pencil, clip the one you will find in the Observer. A future queen de serves the best from the very start, and you can’t start too early making a good impression.
