hour, or a mile a minute for the entire
distance. An ambition Of President

the game for the excitement The
twenty-eight American made cars are
Of ten different makes.

the worlds championship next October
AT Colma, Cal. The Michigan middle
weight reached here today from Phila-
delphia with his manager. Willis Britt
Speaking of a statement by Jeffries
that he would take on Ketchel for the
championship, should Ketchel defeat
Johnson, Britt said:
II don't believe Jeffries would want
to fight Ketchel. Jeffries' sole idea in
returning to the ring was to defend the
title from Johnson, who claims It, I
should like nothing better than to have
Jeffries referee the Ketchel-J Johnson
fight, and will accept him in hurry If
Johnson makes no objection"

the fact, the problem that con
fronts the Rice Industry now is
not how much land we can put

it after we get it. In every d.

Industry at large, or by theI
manufacturers of rice, looking tot
get more people to eat rice. The
present condition of the market
brings home that fact very forci-
bly, for we are confronted now
with the condition of inability to
sell rice in any volume and in
worlds of it going into ware
house and storage as against the
hope of better things to come.
In my judgment, unquestionably
a large crop has been made this
year, and, personally, | look for a
period of low prices, thus forcing
consumption via that route be-
fore we get to a point where it
will be question as to whether
rice planting, after all, is going
to be so profitable. You good
people in the cotton country had
some little experience with 1 or
