WALCOTT SAYS HE WILL
TAKE JOE CANS MEASURE
WeIter-Weight Champion Will Train
at Oakland and VIII Probably
Be Assisted by johnson.

Joe WaIcott arrived in town last
night, accompanied by his manager.
Billy Pierce of Boston The "Barba-
does Wonder says he will beat GanS
when they mix il on the last day OF
the month. The dark lad looks in
good form and says he will have no
trouble in making the weight. He Will
begin training tomorrow in Oakland
and will probably be assisted by Jack
Johnson, the colored heavyweight
champion.
Billy Pierce wants the night to be
on the square He says il will be if he
has his way Il want the newspaper
men to name the referee" says Pierce.
ANY good. honest man will suit me.
II he sees any sign of fake let him
stop the battle and the patrons viii
get their money back Walcott never
felt better in his life than he does

Triumphs Of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the human
body by surgery. Organs are taken out and
scraped and polished and put back, or they
may be removed entirely; bones are spliced /;
pipes take the place of diseased sections Of
veins; antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds. bruises, burns and like injuries be-
fore inflammation sets in, which causes
them to heal without maturation and in
one-third the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain Pain Balm acts
on this same principle. It is an antiseptic
and when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly It also allays
the pain and soreness Keep bottle of
Pain Balm in your home and it will save
you time and money, not to mention the
inconvenience and suffering which such
injuries entail. For sale by A. S. Mar

Separating Them.

I'm the old days. when the capital of
Alabama was located at Tuscaloosa,
there was a good deal Of open gam
bling at that seat of legislation" said
southern man. 1T was the custom
in those times for men of all grades of
society to risk their money at games
Of chance, and the lawmakers who
gathered at Tuscaloosa were among
the best patrons of the gaming tables.
1.-THE proprietor Of one of those re
sorts, wishing to keep the state solons
separated from the ordinary customers
Of his place, put up a big sign in the
apartment devoted to faro, poker,
roulette and the like, which read:
Members of the legislature please
take the table to the right; gamblers
take the table to the left It's hard to
tell you apart Nv Washington Post.

Will HANDLE FRUITS.

The possibilities connected with
modern packing house industry are
only just being realized. The handling
of meats on the PACK .ng house plan in
wolves large cold storage facilities and
an extensive refrigerator car system.
This expensive car service has until
recently been utilized only on it's out
ward trips from the packing house
centers, returning empty. 1t was easy
to see that if return freights could be
secured for them it would be a profit
able scheme, SO the buying of eggs, of
poultry and of butter was started by
the packing house companies with
much profit. and this year they have
entered the fruit business and will ham
die perishable fruits of all kinds.
While the general public is likely to be
the gamer by this innovation, it is
working a serious hardship upon the
regular fruit dealers, and they are up
in arms about it. The modern packing
house has the capital, the perfected
means of transportation, the cold stor-
age warehouse, the agents scattered
all over the country, and it looks az
though they would in the near future
enjoy almost complete monopoly in
the perishable food products of the
whole country

A WEAKENING SOIL.

The wear on the arable lands of the
vest is very observable. notwithstand-
Ing that these lands were originally
rich and fertile Fifty years of per-
sistent cropping and taking and selling
of soil fertility without making any
due return, the heavy tribute levied by
weed growth and erosion. the elimina-
ton and exhaustion of the humus, so
essential to plant growth. are patent
facts to be noted with millions of acres
of what are termed the choice farm
lands of the west and northwest. This
process of degeneration is the most no.
ticeable on all rented farms, where,
under the shortsighted policy of short
time cash leases. the skinning process
has been worked to a finish The re-
suit of all this miserable work is sum-
med up in one fact, and that is poor
crops as compared with what the land
is capable of producing under proper
management. 1t is a repetition of the
same process which has degraded the
soils of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
and which is actively at work in In
diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota. 1t has made the New York
state farm sell today for less than the
cost of the buildings upon it, and it
will do the same thing for these other
states if persisted in The biggest and
most important question which con-
fronts the American people today, more
vital and farreaching in it's future eff
fects than any question of politics or
statecraft is how to maintain the fer
tility of the soil, for a century from
now there will be 20o,O00000 mouths
to feed. The long term lease, the sem
sible rotation of crops, clover farming
and stock feeding will do much to ar
rest the miserable work, but as yet

SHOULD PAY THEIR WAY.

You see, Providence or bad luck or
the irresistible logic Of events has
made the republic of the United States
in a moral and legal way responsible
for the intellectual, spiritual and phys
zeal wants Of a matter of 100000
aborigines, half breeds, scrubs and
mongrels of the humans of the tropics.
It is a responsibility which cannot be
evaded, and we shall have them on our
hands as long as the republic lasts, to
feed when hungry, to settle their in
ternal disputes. to educate and police
them and to fight for them when they
get into some ruction. 1t is great and
very costly contract in humanitarian
ism biggest any nation ever under
took These crude barbarians can pro-
duce in their tropical countries certain
commodities which are needed in this
hemp, tobacco, sugar, bananas and the
like, We favor most unqualifedly
such revision Of our tariff laws as will
permit the American people to have
the benefit of these products at the low
est cost to ourselves and so in some
measure make these heather pay their
way.
