Talk Of Mail Orders.

The meeting of representative
of the Standard Oil company and
a representative of the National
Biscuit company in a local grocery
store yesterday led up to a discus
sion on the mail order question.
The National Biscuit company rep
resentative stated that as a result
Of a campaign against the mail
order houses many of the merchants
i'll the smaller towns are refusing to
buy the company's goods because
they sell to Montgomery Ward and
Sears, Roebuck & Co. The mer-
chants say that if the manufacturers
will sell to the mail order houses
they will not buy their goods, but
will purchase from the independent
firms or else not handle the goods
at all. The representative of the
cracker trust admitted that the
merchants are suffering from the
inroads made on their trade by the
mail order people. He said that
the patrons of these houses are also
the losers in the end, but do not ap
pear to realize the fact.
He stated that it is the patrons
of the mail order houses that buy
the goods at wholesale. The people
simply place the money in the
hands of the mail order houses to
buy for them, and the mail order
people make a big per cent on all
they sell IN this way. He said that
if the patrons Of the local grocery
firms would place their money in
the hands Of the grocerymen for
two or three days before they
received their goods they could
probably buy at better advantage
in many places than they do at the
present time. But instead of this
the patrons of the local grocery
store will expect the grocerymen to
buy the goods and sell it to them
on time, something they would not
ask the mail order people to do, as
1t would be useless. He stated that
the mail order houses would not
trust the richest man on earth
for a ten cent plug of tobacco and
he said that if the merchants expect
to compete with the mail order peo-
pie they should adopt the same rule
and stick to it.

Favors Winner at Odds
10 to z.

Kansas City, Mo, Dec 17-Frank
Gotch regained his title Of champion
catch -as-c atch-can wrestler of Ameri-
ca By winning two straight falls from
Beell In Convention hall Monday night.
Beell won the championship title from
Gotch at New Orleans three weeks
ago.
The match was cleverly fought from
the first gong. and although Beel was
never dangerous, his wonderful ability
to get himself out of precarious posi-
tions, and his aggressiveness, made the
match a hard fought one
GOtch Takes the First.
The first fall came after nineteen
minutes and forty-eight seconds of
cautious work by both men. Gotch Sc
cured the fall after a most sensation
al combination of holds. Gotch picked
his man up with a crotch hold, thew
him up over his head and Beell fell on
his back in a body hold, with his head
held between Gotchs legs. Beell
bridged. but Gotchs superior weight
forced the little mans shoulders to
the mat
The second and winning fall came
after thirty minutes and sixteen sec
onds. During this time Gotch had his
opponent in many positions from which
1t seemed impossible for BeeIl to extri-
cate himself but the little Wisconsin
wrestler. by his wonderful strength
and cleverness, wriggled out of one
after another
Toe Hold Wins Again.
The finishing hold was a crotch anC
half Nelson, that had been preceded by
a toe hold that had caused Beell great
pain and had put him in a position sc
that Gotch could apply the last hold
A crowd of 5000 saw the match, anc
Gotchs first fall was cheered for sew
eral minutes. and the noise of whist

could hardly have been surpassed by
a presidential victory.
Betting FavOrs GOtch.
The betting at the ringside immedi
ately before the bout was 10 to 7, Will
Gotch the favorite. There was a grea
deal of Been money in sight early II
the evening, but the wisconsin manl
supporters were asking longer odds
Some betting early in the evening wal
at 10 to s on Gotch.
It is estimated that several Thousand
dollars changed hands in bets made il

The Call of Nature.

Why is it that old folks in the city
and those on beds of sickness yearn for
the fields and flowers, fresh air ana
sunshine?
It is instinct-the call Of Mother Ma
ture to her children in language never
laugh but always understood.
Why is at that after using to no avail
chemical compounds and freak discov-
cries for our -inhrmities. we turn for re-
lief to the great laboratory of Nature
where curative gifts are wrought in
vegetation by the sunshine process?
1t is instinct!
AS from every, temptation there is a
way of escape. so do we instinctively
believe that for every III there is a cure.
1t is not The desire of the Quaker
Herb Company to convey the impression
that their herb remedies cure all dis
eases, but they do claim that their
Quaker Herb Extract contains the best
of known curative principles Of plant
life 5ft

GOLDFIELD VISITS CANS;
BETTING ODDS NOW EVEN
Herman stin Working Hard In His Wen
Appointed Gym and Fans Like His
Looks.

Tonopah, New, Dec. lit is thirty
miles from Goldheld TO Aonopah, but
as long as automobiles the running,
distance is nothing to those miners who
have the money. They proved it this
afteronno by coming over from Gold
field to this camp in three machines.
Joe Cans, the worlds light champion
is the reason. Joe is training in the
most adequately appointed gymnasium
in Nevada He made himself more than
popular last September at Goldfeld,
and the money owners there are pin
ming their allegiance to him with sin
certify.
The bunch that made the trip today
came over for the express purpose of
watching Cans work At the same
time they found time to call in at Her
mans gym and to note the fact that
the Chicago boy is working hard and
may have a chance with the colored
champion, although 1t is hard for any
of the GOldfield fans to see anybody eX-
cept their favorite.
1t is conjectured among betting men
here that Kid Herman, who meets Joe
Cans in a battle for the lightweight
championship of the world New Years
day, will go into the ring with the bet
ting close to even. Cans, of course, is
strong favorite with the betting men
here at present, owing to the fact that
he not only made a splendid fgrh with
Battling Nelson but also because he
made himself personally popular
throughout all of the negotiations
which preceded that event.

The Stage Farmer.

One of the big city papers takes a
local society to task for holding an en-
tertainment in which the persons at
tending were arrayed in bunch grass
whiskers and the accompanying make
up of the stage farmer
This, the great paper thinks, is well
calculated to weary the soul and stick
pins into the feelings of the gentleman
who so ably and so thoroughly feeds
the world
We are inclined to think that the
paper in question has made q bad
guess. The real farmer is the last per-
son on earth to get mad at the stage
farmer. AS well ask the ida rich to
get mad at the picture Of the million
aire octopus.
The people at the party had met the
real farmer. Many of them doubtless
had him for a father-in-law, and they
were aware that his conversation did
not consist wholly Of by heckg' and
his clothes Of a pair of out of date
boots and one suspender With the
present prices for eggs and such, the
farmer knows that the laugh is really
on the other fellow.
