of several citizens of having Il water

JEFF'S DAD
TALKS ON
FIGHT

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
LOS ANGELES, May 9.-The
Rev. A. G. Jeffries. father of
James J. Jeffries, heavyweight
champion, is not in sympathy with
the movement inaugurated by
ministers throughout the country
to prevent the Jeffries-Johnson
fight.
On the other hand, he declares
that If any protest against the
battle is to be made, let 1t begin
with chose who are consistent,
and who have cast the beam out
of their own eye."
In a communication to a local
evening paper. the Rev. Mr.. JEFF
fries, while he does not approve
of prizefighting, defends his stall
wart ring activity. He is bitter
against the ministers who are at
lacking the big fighter, and sug-
gests that Jim may yet become a
champion" of religion and wage
war against hypocrites.
He said: Jim hates hypocrisy.
This is why he makes no religious
professions. And when he does,
I hope to see him still champion,
but for truth.
II hope to see him knock out
all liars. These very religious
progressors will then become his
worst enemies. This is the fight
for faith for which I myself am
now training. and Christ is the
maner."

HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT

Midsummer shows little, if any, re-
taxation in the movement in the South
for the improvement of highways in
country, town and city. The weekly
statement of bonds voted, or to be
voted, contracts awarded, or to be
awarded, published in the Manufac-
turers' Record contains many items
telling of the activity in this form of
municipal, county and state improve
ment, and, although local newspapers
may not be giving as much space to
the subject as in the earlier part of
the year, there is no evidence that
there is any falling off in interest any
where.
