RUTH LAW TO FLY
AT NATIONAL FAIR
America’* Greatest Aviatrix To
Appear Ten Days at New
Orleans.
Ruth Law, America ? greatest aria*
trix, will be at New Orleans for tin
full term of the National Farm and
Live Stock Show, Nov. 10 to 19, and
will make spectacular day and night
flights.
Within the past year the name oi
Ruth Law has become a household
word all over the United States. In
quick succession she has set one new
flying record after another, and has
performed many dangerous and diffi
cult feats with her aeroplane. She
came into national fame when she
made her record breaking flight from
Chicago to New York.
Some time ago Miss Law tendered
her services to the United States gov
ernment for the European front. Be
cause she is a woman and Americans
do not believe in having women do
their fighting, her offer has not been
accepted.
But Miss Law still cherishes an am
bition to fly- a battle plane on the Al
lied western front—a dueling-airplane.
She has seen the French and English
aviators in their maneuvers and has
flown with some of them in their prac
tice flights. She believes she could
handle one of the fragile machines in
the twisting, turning, falling combats
of the air.
Miss Law recently paid:
“If Woodrow Wilson, president of
the United States and commander-in
chief of our military forces, were to
say to me, ‘Aviatrix Law, I hereby
commission you to go get the kaiser,’ I
should fly away on my bombing mis
sion not only with a free conscience,
but with a glad heart ”
In the meantime Miss Law is doing
her mite for America. A few days ago
she subscribed $10,000 to the second
Liberty Loan. A great favorite with
the boys in khaki, she is arranging
for a series of flights for the soldiers’
entertainment at various cantonments
over the country.
During her comparatively long stay
in New Orleans she will thrill the
fair’s visitors by looping the loop and
performing numerous feats which no
one except herself has yet succeeded
in mastering. Recently she surpassed
all records by making the loop twenty
one times in a single ilight. Her night
flights will be illuminated by beauti
ful and dazzling pyrotechnic displays.
Miss Law commands $1,000 per day,
by far the highest salary paid any
flyer in the world In securing her
services I. B. Rennyson, manager oi
the show, is maintaining his policy oi
offering none except the finest attrae
tions obtainable.
A booth from which all information
that farmers, gardeners and orchard
ing may desire about the control of
insect pests on crops or trees, will b
maintained at the National Farm en
Live Stock Show, New Orleans, Nov.
10-19, by the Mississippi A. and M. Col
lege extension department. L. O. Her
ron, practical horticulturist, will be
in charge, and insect specialists will
also be there.
A grand champion prize on corn—
a beautiful medaled banner—has been
added to the premiums at the National
Farm and Lire Stock Show, New Or
leans, Nov. 10-19. Competition is open
to the world and any variety of com
may compete.
National Farm and Live Stock Show,
to be held in New Orleans, Nov. 10-19,
is the best place for the man who
wants to buy good cattle or hogs to
meet the man who has them to sell.
Auction sales of purebred live stock
will attract thousands to New Orleana
during the big fair.
Card of Thanks
Thankful indeed am I to the
many friends who rendered
what help they could during the
fire last Saturday which threat
ened to destroy my stock of mer
chandise and to each of you I
extend sincere thanks.
Yours Truly,
Adv. Mrs. Lula Shue.

Think of a circus performance
given almost entirely by wild an
imals and domestic animals
Can you imagine acrobatic lions,
riding leopards and tigers, jug
gling sea lions, high diving
monkeys, pigs that do every
thing but talk, waltzing zebras,
baseball playing elephants high
school horses, clown elephants,
comedy Teddv bears—bears that
actually do more comical stunts
than the modern clowns—all of
these animals appear with the
big Yankee Robinson Wild An
imal circus. In addition to the
big wild animgl circus, all of the
popular features of the old-time
circus are carried, together with
a complete wild west show
which brings the performance to
a wonderful close. The Yankee
Robinson circus this season main
tains it has the most wonderful
sensational and pleasing exhi
bition before the American pub
lic. On circus day you will also
have an opportunity of visiting
the Parker carnival company,
which will exhibit day and date
with the big circus. All the lat
est riding devices are carried.
This stupendous aggregation of
shows—fifteen in number, will
exhibit at Augusta, Ark., Oct.
31, 1917.
