There is all the difference in the
world in the way men cultivate corn.
in the corn they tear out. All boys on
farms should be taught how to cultivate
corn. 1t is an essential factor in their
agricultural education.

Make every square inch of the farm
rich but the lawn, and make that beau
tiful. A lawn that does not present
beauty to the eye is out of place. a
field that is beautiful and not rich is
an abomination to It's owner.

Gar Brown Selected.
This would leave one place to fill and
the most brilliant running guard in the
west was Brown of Minnesota. He
was dangerous at all times and during
the season succeeded in making from
his guard position 20 baskets to IA by
his opponents who were playing for
ward positions at that. This was a
remarkable record for guard to make.

ring made splendid record, allowing
his opponents to make but 8 baskets
during the league season. With this
team, McKeag and MeRae, forwards;
Schommer center and Bush and Brown
guards, would not be afraid of the
best teams in the basketball world.
tatistics show that each man on the
All-Western team would outplay his
opponent. Rogers of Wisconsin led in
baskets with 10 in one game, while
MeKeag of Chicago led for the season
with 81. Rogers was at the top in
defense allowing but 8. while Bush
leads in having the fewest thrown
against a center with 6 against him.
The number of baskets scored by
each man picked for the team and the
number scored against him by his op'
ponents follow:

over him for Abe would not have raised
his standing very much and as far as
the international bout is concerned, he
will Of course, be judged solely by his
work in the ring. +
There is one other bout scheduled
for May which will not be interfered
with by any happenings in California.
That is the Fitzsimmons- o 'Brien battle
scheduled to be held before Tom
delphia. The only big drawback to
this bout is that Fitzsimmons is no
longer a big attraction. He was de-
cidedly defeated by o 'Brien not long
| ago and good contest can hardly be
expected. It will afford the hungty
| eastern fans, however, an opportunity
! to see two great boxers in action and
| from this angle may be worth travel
ing to see. ...- .
O'Brien seems to have some trouble
in getting the right kind Of match.
Possibly he is in no hurry to take on n
anybody, as his theatrical engagements
nave kept him pretty busy and have
paid him we'll. The talk about his
meeting Jeffries does not seem to have
come to much. O'Brien apparently Is
willing, but a statement purportlng to
have come from jeff was published the
other day in which the big fellow was
quoted as saying that he had no de-
sire to enter the ring again. He is
comfortably well off, and there does not
/ seem to be any reason why he should
meet anybody unless he likes the game.
Boxing in New York.
There has been organized in New
York the Twentieth Century Athletic
club, which proposes to hold boxing
entertainments in Madison Square
garden. s 1t has been organized as any
other club would be. An initiation fee
Of $25 is charged and the membership
dues are $40 month. These entitle
the members to admission to two enter
tainments a month.
The plan is not exactly new one
but it never has been carried out on q
big scale before and the. outcome will
be watched with interest. -. The club

BY Emmett D. Angel. Graduate Manager
of AthietIcs of the University Of Wis
consln.
The selection Of an All-American
basketball team is not difficult, for
while the standard Of play was very
high this year., there are a few men
that stand out conspicuously as stars.
In selecting such an All-Western team
the. process of elimination would leave
seven men as andidates-Schomme
Leuhring and McKeag Of Chicago;
Brown and McRae of Minnesota, and
Bush and Rogers of Wisconsin,. In
considering the different men who
should be placed on such a team I have
considered the individual work of each
player, his consistency and his help
fulness to his team mates. The selec-
tions have not been very difficult to
make as the five making UP the team
clearly outclassed any other players in
the west.
My first choice for forward would
be the CHOICE of every follower of the
game in thtT west, McKeag of Chicago.
In the eight games of the championship
series McKeag scored 81 baskets, the
largest number made by any player in
the league. He is fast, shifty player
and for all round cleverness did not
have an equal in the west.
Gopher Gets Place.
In selecting the other forward the
choice would be between McRae of
Minnesota and Rogers Of Wisconsin.
Rogers has the best record on paper,
having made % baskets in the league
series to 3 by his opponents. McRae
made Is to his opponents 5. Rogers
| also had the distinction of making the
largest number in one game-getting
10 in the Illinois game.
McRae is much faster on his feet, a
more clever passer and is a more gen
orally useful man to his team. His
greater experience must also be. taken
into account and so he, would be my
first choice for forward. .,>.- .~.-::.

WOMEN ARE NOT sTINeY

"It is libel on woman to say that
she is stingy," said an Atlantic City
waiter. "Woman, in her tips, is more
generous and open-handed than man is.
'I mean, of course, according to her
means. 1 would rather wait on a work.
ing woman--a crack stenographer or
lingerie buyer, say-than on the aver
age man. She tips better always.
1.-THE woman who doesn't work, who
must rely on her husband for every
cent, the woman who is as helpless and
dependent as child so far as money
goes-this woman. according to her
means, tips better than man, too, but
of course a dime to her is as big a
sum as 1t is to a boy or .girl; it is as
big as a dollar is to a man or to a
working woman.
Yes, women are more generous than
men with money The only women who
have even the appearance of stinginess
are those unlucky ones, often well
dressed enough, who must ask for every
cent"

cANNoNs BOON

In the last presidential contest the
Republican party elected the youngest
man ever elevated to the chief execu-
tive chair. Will that party, in 1908,
elect the oldest man ever honored in
like manner?
Theodore Roosevelt is not yet 4s years
old; Joseph G. Cannon passed his
three score years and ten" last May.
The nomination of "Uncle Joe" Can
non as the Republican candidate for
president is thus far only an Illinois
dream. Just at the present time the
Cannon boom looks more promising
than that of any other Republican as
pirant. however, and hence it deserves
more than passing notice. The ques-
ton whether a presidential racer of 70
years can stand the pace may be
shelved until 1908.
The Cannon presidential boom was
formally launched last Thursday, when
the veteran congressman was nomi-
mated for the eighteenth time as rep
resentative of the Eighteenth Illinois
congressional district. 1t was a red
hot boom. as thus described: There
was the greatest enthusiasm. especially
over the prospective candidacy Of Can
non for the presidency. He had not
intended to launch a boom for presi-
dent at this convention. but the pres
sure of his supporters was so great as
to sweep away his wishes in the
matter"
A long and carefully prepared
speech was delivered by Uncle Joe"
in response to the presidential booming
by his constituents. The effort is
creditable. not because OF any new
arguments or ideas. but because 1t
makes the best possible use of the
threadbare stock OF Republican logic.
Illinois is a close neighbor of Iowa,
and what has come TO be known as
the Iowa idea" has been waited over
the state line even TO "Uncle Joe's"
congressional district.
With all his political knowledge ana
experience the veteran makes a weak
