ABE ATTELL
REMAINS THE
CHAMPIO
KNOCKED OUT FREDDIE WEEKS
IN THE TENTH ROUND FOR
FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION
SHIP OF WORLD.
Rx Associated Press.

Goldfield, New, Jan. 15.-Abe Attell
last night retained his title to the
featnerweight championship of the
world by knocking out Freddie Weeks
in the tenth round at the GOldneld
Athletic club. Weeks fought gamely,
but never had a chance to win. His
blows lacked steam necessary to do
any damage to the champion, who
came out of the battle without a
scratch. The boys put up a clean
fight in every way. Attel opened
the fight with a right swing to the
head and ended it in the tenth round
with a series of vicious swings to
Weeks's head and jaw which stagger-
cd Weeks to the ropes. Atten fol-
lowed him with a right across to the
jaw, putting him down and out in one
minute after the tenth round opened.
Abe then picked Weeks up and carried
him TO his corner.
1t was a gruelling match, but the
champion OUtgeneTalled Weeks at
every point and was never in serious
danger. He frequently poked his
head into Weeks's face and smilingIy
took blow after blow without a vince
or q staggeF. In the third round, At
tell opened Weeks's left eye which
bled hand throughout the rest of the
battle and worried Weeks perceptibIy

WHY NOT UTILIZE

Editor Pensacola Journal:
| Will you permit me to ask through
the medium of your paper what rea-

were the instructions issued to build
I Palafox street north of Lee square
/ but twenty feet wide?
This street, of great breadth in it's
unfinished condition, could be and
should be made one of the most beau
! tiful streets of our city, and yet with
all the space there is to spare it is to
he constructed into the narrow con-
| fines of twenty feet. Now. / want it
to be thoroughly understood that am
not knocking Pensacola by any man

and expect my children will be here

EARNINGS ON THE FARM

the average value OF products per
farm is $500 less tina it is in the
North Atlantic States, l trust | may
be excused for offering some thoughts
on the subject.
Many years ago | made the dlscON-
cry that the New England States pro-
duced about three times as much corn
and three times as much wheat per
acre as North Carolina does. | then
examined the figures in pubic records
and discovered hat the yield of corn
and wheat per acre decreases grad
ually from North to South in the
States bordering on the MISSISSIPPI
river, excepting Wisconsin and Mime
sofa, which extend across the north
ern limit of maize culture; and l made
England States produce more than
twice as much tobacco per acre as
North Carolina does. Crossing the
Atlantic then, l found that New Eng
lands wheat crop per acre is not more
than two-thirds of that of the British
Isles.
Evidently, then, concluded that
latitude has something to do with the
earth's fertility, and. as the hnmus and
other vegetable matter in the soil is
less subject to the destructive power
of the sun the farther they are from
the tropics. it must be that, other con-
ditions being the same, the fertility of
a body OF lane in the temperate zones
must depend Nn it's latitude: and that
the North Carolina farmer who wishes
his fields to be as productive as those

store VEGETABLE matter to his soil as
