I'VE viii soon be in San Francisco,

weighs close TO 40 pounds in his street
clothes and that's more than he ever
weighed. Moreover he looks the picture

than he ever could. but will not meet
anyone outside the middleweight limit
If Twin Sullivan is a good enough card
he will have no trouble in getting rid
of $500 he offers for Ryan TO get into

The United States record break

production passed for the first
time. 1t was never passed after

when the output was 12,162,000
bales. In 1908 the farm value OF
