Bungling Brothers circus will pitch its tent and set its rings in the Y.M.C.A. gym this evening and will open the doors of the big top at 7:30 and the performance will begin shortly thereafter. Inside the main tent will be the real circus dope, wire walking, bareback riding, acrobatic stunts, flying rings, trapeze work and chariot races. There will be funny clowns, peanuts, straw, lemonade and all the other props that go to make up a circus. In the menagerie will be the greatest collection of strange and savage animals ever seen together at one time. There will be the Aarkvark from Holland, the Addax from the South Sea islands, the Barroussa from the Big Rapids wilderness, the Cacomixle and Dinotherium and others which have been imported at great cost from their native lairs. As the proceeds from the circus will go to the Y camp fund the benefit is worthy of support and entertainment will be the feature of the evening. The show will be repeated Saturday night.

Between 50 and 60 of the unemployed men of Cadillac have been given work in the city snow removal crews this week, according to George Johnston, city manager. Not that many have worked all week, however, as the city manager shared the work instead of having a smaller permanent crew. Quite a number of streets had to be shoveled out, the snow being too deep and heavy for the plows. Today a crew was working on Paluster Street. Every state road is now open and widened out so that traffic is safe, A.L. Burridge, division engineer, said today. The pavement south from Fife Lake is practically bare. State crews are now floating the gravel roads. The county crew encountered considerable trouble on the Meauwataka Road but have now passed the worst place and expects to have it all open some time this afternoon. The other double-header outfit was working on old U.S. 131 and it was expected this would be open tonight.
