SO much of the old Corbett-Bradv cum

Jenerds by Jeffries, that that little affair
cost the champion hundreds of friends
and admirers. All the world loves a lover
and admires a fighter. And all the world
desplses a counterfeit. There is but one
course for the faithful to pursue-strike
the counterfeits on their vital spot-the
pocketbook. Keep away from their fake

MGOVERN AND PALMER.
Pedlar Palmer, the sturdy little Briton,
arrived in New York yesterday to fill
his engagement with the hard-hitting
American bantam, Terry McGovern. Pal
mer comes to this country with a splen-
did reputation as a fighter. He has met
all the good men of his class abroad, and
has easily defeated them. He has also
been against some of the good ones who
belong to America. Now he will meet
a different sort Of fighter than he has
ever before faced. Little men, as rule
depend largely upon skill. Not so with
McGovern. He is a miniature Sullivan. He
believes in making the other fellow fight
right from the jump. McGovern is cred
tied with being the hardest hitting little
man in the ring. 1t is said that he is
the equal of Jimmy Barry in that respect,
and Barry, in his prime, was famous for
his Furnishing power. McGovern will like
ly be made favorite, but the battle will
doubtless prove corker. McGovern will
meet in Palmer the best man he has ever
faced. Willie Green.

HARVEST NEAR LISBON.
Damage to Wheat and Flax by the
Recent Hot Weather.

LISBON, N. D., Aug. 6.-(Special.)-
Wheat harvest is now in full swing in
this part of North Dakota, ard some are
still haymaking. The hay crop is exceed
ingly good this year, and there is no
scarcity of grass, even on the uplands,
That the intensely hot weather did con-

wheat and flax, is now evident. Several
fields of barley have already been
threshed, and, that grain having been
practically full grown before the

HOW ABOUT JEFFRIEs?

Here is a question that may have to
be answered by Jeffries in action. After
he had defeated Fitzsimmons Jeffries gave
out a statement that he was not an actor.
He said that he did not propose to go
on the stage, but while in the fighting
business would meet all corners, in de-
Tense of his title. Has he done this? No,
he has lodged as much as did Corbett in
his early days, with Brady as manager.
Now Jeffries has gone to England on a
money-making trip. Not for the honor
of his business, but for the gold there
is in the scheme that he has been en-
gineered by Mr. Billy Brady. There is
no glory attached to Mr.. Jeffries' trip
abroad. 1t is purely mercenary 1t is
even probable that the results of the
battles planned for Jeffries while
abroad are known in advance. Verify the
glories of the ring have departed. 1t may
be the age, and may be the man at the
heaC. of the freak puglistic combination
now in England on dime museum prin-
ciples. At any rate the champion of the
world is not there to defend his title,
as he said he would defend it. but to do
a little sleight of hand work with the
greatest fakir in all England for what
coin there is in sight.

FLAVOR REGULATED.
Up-to-Date Bsekeepess Have Learse1
to Restrict the WanderinEs
OF Their Bees.

Honey is enjoying renewed favor.
Men of wealth and leisure are testing
and experimenting with the different
kinds of honey, and wrinkling their
brows over the problem of producing
what seems to them the most desirable
flavor during the coming summer, says
the Otsego Farmer. For the bee is no
longer allowed to pursue his own sweet
peregrinations and sip of the nectar of
flowers wherever he chooses. Honey
made in this promiscuous way is much
too ordinary. His actions are restrict
ed and guided. ~ result, such honey
Us never was tasted before is tickling
the palates of many. If it is the white
sweet clover flavor that has gained
favor with the epicure, he goes system
atically to work to produce it, and
plants large plot Of ground. perhaps
half an acre with this particular kind
of clover. He has it carefully kept from
weeds or any other variety of clover
that might endeavor to find footing
there. The whole bed is inclosed and
rooted with fine wire netting, and the
beehives are then placed within the in
closure. From the bees life, therefore,
the spice of variety is pluclsed, and try
as he will he can produce none other
than white sweet clover honey. In
flavor it is very delicate and almost
white in color. Yellow sweet clover
honey is preferred by others. The
flavor is slightly stronger than that
made from the white variety, and it's
color is deep yellow. Then there is the
honey that is made from thistles and
milkweeds; it is amusing to hear the
producers of such favors tell of their
tribulations in making these hayward
plants grow within their restrictions.
Some of the wild flower honey is al
most black in color, and the flavor is
certainly very different from what it
was in the days when honey was hon
ey and that fact settled the question.
1t is almost verging on the indiscreet
to mention buckwheat honey nova
days. although 1t is still acknowledged
to have wonderful staying properties"

Aetna's Thunder.

The eruption of Mount Etna, which il
reported from Rome, appears to be no
more severe than many which have &C.
Cured within the last ten years. In
1928 great eruption occurred, last
ing nine months. A torrent of lava six
miles long, two miles wide and IL feet
deep was elected. The most terrible
eruption Of all, however, occurred in
1869, when a chasm 10 miles long opened
in the side of the mountain, out of
which flames rose many feet into the
air. The mountain is 10,s50 feet, or
nearly two miles, high. It's crater is
1000 feet deep and two miles wide. In
1880 an observatory was built near the
top of the mountain, 9,o75 feet above
sea level. It is the highest inhabited
house in Europe. Chicago Tribune.

Feedtns clover to Eoul..

The very common advice to feed
clover to hens as an aid to egg produc-
ton needs to have caution attached
to it. If hens have grain with the
clover they will not probably eat too
much of the lighter food for their good.
But exclusive reliance on cut clover
as winter feed for day or two may so
clog the gizzard with light indigestible
food that when grain is given it only
makes the matter worse by furnishing
more heating material to ferment in
the crop. Wherever much grain is
given to fowls they become too fat to
lay. and it is such hens that are most
likely to be crop bound.

CLEAN HOUSEKEEPING.
italian bees Are Extremely Neat and
DO Net Tolerate Dirt Around
Their Hives.

One of the great points Of difference
between an Italian and the common
black bee is that the Italian is good
housekeeper and the black bee is a
poor one, says Wallace's Farmer. The
Italian does not tolerate any dirty
combs or any loose chips lying on the
floor of the hive or about the entrance.
It anything gets in too big to be car
ried out, she buries it in propolis or bee
gum. Why does she keep house in this
fashion? Partly because she likes it,
like most good housekeepers, and part
~ because she doesn't want any moth
eggs to be lying about in the dust,
where the moths will lay. them if they
can, and then be carried into the combs
filled with bee bread, there to hatch out
and work their way between the brood
cells and spin their webs around the
wings and toes of thu. baby bees. Like
most good housekeepers, the Italian is
not nervous body. She goes at it
calmly, deliberately, has level head,
and always keeps cool, while the black
bee gets alarmed, loses her head; and
runs whenever there is danger. The
black bee is saucy, irritable and cross
grained; the italian is good-natured,
cool-headed, but when she does ight
she means business. The black bee
will buzz around, make terrible fuss.
and threaten to wipe the earth with
you; the Italian will strike you as quick
as lightning and say nothing about it.
Queer, isn't it, that there should be the
same difference between bees that
there is between houselseepers and be-
tween men; that cool-headedness and
courage and effective work should be
found in one type of bees and in one
type OF men, and that slovenliness, fuss
mess, braggadocio and ill-temper
should be found in another? There are
a great many things to be learned by
little observation in the beehive.

A Fable in stock..

Once upon time an operator in stocks
face unless the market should break. In his
desperation he remembered having heard
that honesty is the best policy. He tried to
dismiss the foolish thought, but in vain.
Finally, like the drowning man catching at
the straw, he resolved to try being honest.
The very next day he put his design into ex-
than Is minutes when II of the leading bulls
fell dead, they were so surprised at him.
Hereupon the market naturally broke, and
the operator could get all the stocks he
wanted at his own figure. Ii is claimed that
some, if not all, of these bulls had taken
rradishes and ham for breakfast, but that, it
