Stanley KetcheI can beat Jack

Rapids to arrange for details of the
bout between Ketchel and O'Brien.
which is Tcarded for Philadelphia in
the near future.
Stanley has it over Johnson" said
Britt. He can hit a hard blow and I
can't see that there is much difference
in the power behind the punch of a
first class middle-w weight and an ordi-
nary class heavyweight. can't see
that Johnson is such a wonder He is
a good, strong fellow and all that, but
1 don't size him up as world heater. .
KetcheTs next bout probably viii be
with Jack O'Bren, according to his
manager The Philadelphia public
seems to wish to see 1t and the affair
may be carded as one of the six-round
no decision affairs.
Il don't think Jeffries will box
again." continued Britt. He does not
seem to believe he would be justified
in getting friends to support him at q
time when he could hardly round into
condition until after a long siege.
L believe that Ketchel can surprise
everybody by his showing against
Johnson, however We are not after
the losing end of the purse. I think
Stanley can hammer him on the fore
arms until his speed will tell So if E
good purse is offered we will be ready
to grab it.

soon and if he says he is going to quit
I will choose another manager. but the
relations between Fielder and me are
just as they were last October. The
team will go to the coast next Friday
and If Jones is going to play he will
join us out there" continued the South

Comiskey has sublime faith in the re-

would play ball another season. De-

machine-like precision and their passes
were so perfect that it simply unnerved
the Hammond players. Word from
Charlottesville is to the effect that the
Hammond boys expect to be defeated
there by even larger score. 1t would
not surprise them if the boys from the
Athens of the West ran up a score of
40 or more points on them. They are
simply bewildered by down-state bas-

considerable cheering by the school

Hammond, who is the principal of the
schools there, announced that whenever
there was any unnecessary noise on
the part of the audience he would deem
the action an assault on Hammond
and assess a foul against Rensselaer,,
giving the Hammond team a free
chance at a basket. This announce
ment was made with considerable feel

Meanwhile, it seems unlikely that
Jones means anything except that he

Dry Farming Congress
 Membership Increases
 by Leaps and Bounds

ing, applications continued to come into the international headquarters at Denver at steadily increasing rate.
 The congress is an international organization of students designed to increase the knowledge of practical agriculture, especially the agriculture of those regions throughout the world where arid or semi-arid conditions pre- vail and where irrigation is impossi. ble, or the limits of its possibilities ex- hausted. The object of the congress is to place in the hands of every member every scrap of information calculated to assist in solving the problems that confront the so-called dry farmer. Its statistical and international depart. ments are thoroughly organized and are doing practical work and members are given the advantages Of studying not only their own condition, but the conditions under which dry land agri- culture is being developed throughout the world. Publications issued by the congress may be purchased by anyone interested, but members receive them without other charge than the annual membership fee of one dollar. The Dry Farming Congress Bulletin, issued twice month, contains many articles of more or less technical nature written by experts in the various departments of agriculture, men of acknowledged authority in their respective fields IL also recounts the experiences of prac tical farmers who are applying the principles laid down by dry farming experts or scientific soil culturists. This Bulletin is the only newspaper in the world exclusively devoted to the ont subject of prime importance to the settlers who are fiocking to the mil lions of acres of undeveloped land ir the western states and who must learn to adapt themselves to their new en vlronment and apply tried and proven scientific principles in the cultivation of their soil if they would succeed. l, IS because the dry farming congress meets the demand for information con corning the methods of agriculture necessary for the successful cropping of non-irrigablc lands in regions of mini mum rainfall and furnishes the means for obtaining instruction in these meth ods, that the farmers of the west arc hastening to be enrolled as members of this organization, and it is because the congress gives reliable and accurate information about the west that the people in tho eastern and southern states and in other countries who may be regarded as prospective settlers ol investors in the vest are joining its ranks.'
