 CONTEST
Rocker Thrown Twice in 20 Minutes; Contest Decided
 Disappointment

In tame and decidedly disappoint- ing wrestling match at the Martin the ater last night, Leo Rocker was de- feated by Al Christensen, in two straight falls The entire time on the mat amounted to less than twenty min utes, Christensen winning with appar- ent ease.
 The contestants entered the ring at g. clock and the first bout was start ed at once, with Dan Brown as referee After considerable preliminary work, Christensen was forced to his knees, while Rocker endeavored to use the hammerlockNwithout success. After a short struggle Rocker tried scossors hold and missed, allowing Christensen to throw him to his side. Almost i'm mediately he broke away and was on his feet. Arms were then locked and after a moment $ strggle there was another break. Again there was an armlock and Rocker was thrown heavily to the mat and his shoulders slowly pinned down. The bout lasted thirteen min, utes.
 The second fall was gained by Chris. jensen in five and three-fourths min. utes. No great interest in the last fall was shown by the audience and dissap pointment was very evident. The win,

STOCKS STIMULATE WITH REPORTED
 BOND SALES
Strong Rumor to the Effect That American Bonds Are
 Placed in Paris

NEW YORK, May 2l.-The stimu- lant for speculative advance in stocks today was the revival of the reports of the placing of American bonds in Paris.
 The subject remained in the rumor stage, but positive predictions were heard in stock market circles that for nal announcements on the subject will be forthcoming early next week.
 In the meantime no confirmation could be had for these vague rumors from bankers and railroad officials, who are supposed to be more nearly concerned in them.
 Along with bond sale rumors came the revival of stories that United States Steel was to be listed in Paris. Estimates of the amount of the alleged bond sales in Paris were raised mater ially above those advanced when the subject first came to the attention of the stock market.

FIGHT AT THE POLLS WILL BE WAGED
 TOMORROW
Exciting Contest Between Democrats and Independ-
 ents Is Promised

Tomorrow what promises to be one of the warmest municipal elections to be held in this city for several years will be waged between the members of the democratic party and the oppos- ing aggregation, known as the Indepen- dent Non-Partisan league.
 While the regulars feel confident of election in every case, there has been no lack of electioneering in the closing days of the campaign. With the excep- tion of John D. Coplen, democratic can didate for mayor, who has also been endorsed by the opposing faction, all f the democratic nominees have been putting in their best licks to make Inelr majority as large as possible and as the result, are confident of winning by good margin.
 The Independents have not been idle, but in the face of general opposi- tion, the candidates of this party have exerted every effort along the line of getting promises of support.
 When the polls open tomorrow morn ing, workers of both partise will be busy. This activity promises to con tinue until the polls close at 6 o'clock and from all indications the vote boiled will be unusually heavy.
 It is the general impression that the democratic nominees vii lbe elected without exception. They are the choice of two-thirds of the voters of the city, as was shown at the recent primaries, and the epople of Globe should aid in the campaign for good government and an enterprsing administration by vot- ing the straight democratic ticket.

When the present city council took charge of the administration of the public affairs of Globe, two years ago, the city was practically destitute of public improvement.
 It is a matter of record that at an early meeting of the present council, Floyd Blevins, who was then poundmas- ter by virtue of his position as street supervisor, appeared before the city dads with request that he be given a rope with which to tether burros which he found roaming in the streets.
 Blevins claimed that when he arrest ed a vagrant burro, he found no rope with which to tie the animal, and he was compelled to hold it by the ears until the owner appeared and paid for its release.
 The council took the story as 1t was intended, as joke, but they took cogni- zance of the fact that the city lacked needed public improvements and they bought the burro rope. This was the beginning. Other Improvements fol lowed, until, at the present time, Globe is as well equipped as any other mining jet yin the United States existing under similar conditions.
 In report which has been compiled by the finance committee of the council and which will be presented as soon as a quorum can be had and a meeting held, some of this work is reviewed.
 In the report it is set forth that at time the present city council took office, the city was without property of any kind, real or personal. The council was holding its meetings in rented quarters and the city offices were To- cated wherever quarters could be Ob- tained.
 During the administration, the city hall lot was obtained at a cost of $l0,- 900 and the old hospital building was remodeled at a cost of $l,70O, for use as city hall.
 In the cost of remodeling this build ing is figured the expense of furnishing g the office of the city treasurer and the council meeting room.
 The city has been provided with a considerable amount of fire fighting ap- paratus, including new chemical en- zine and team, extra hose and quarters Tn the new fire house.
 A pound lot has been purchased and equipped, not only for impOunded an, imals but with stable room for the horses of the sanitary department.
 In the report a recommendation IS made to the incoming council, asking that body to install the Gamewell fire alarm system at once. It is held that this installation is necessary to ade' quate fire protection.
 The installation of garbage crema' tory, by which the city's garbage may be incinerated, is also recommended.
 The report of the finance committed has to do only with the expenditure of money and contains no data concern. ing the city water department, this data having been furnished in the re- cent report of the public utilities com mittee. As the result, many public i'm provements which have been made prac tically without cost to the city are not mentioned.
 The present council seems to have established precedent in the matter oi public improvements and if as much good work is done by the incoming board of aldermen, the city and entire Globe district cannot do else than ben efiit bv their administration.

DENIES AMERICA HAS OWN ART.

Country Lack Initiative.

What is American art? Is there any
such thing after all?
Prof. George Santayana, Harvard's
poet and philosopher; stood at the head
Of table in the banquet room of the
Cliff Dwellers at a luncheon and assert
ed that there was DO American standard
for art and that Americans lacked in
itiative and individuality.
The night before he had told the Tween
tieth Century club that Americans had
no ethics. The question was put to him,
as suggested by that criticism, whether
Americans at. least had an aesthetic
sense.
Americans are cultured replied the
Harvard professor. They have 4 Their
ough knowledge of art. They have
picked up here and there from the mas
ters until a genuine appreciation of art
has been developed. But they have orig
mated nothing of their own. They have
not established the American standard.
American style is copied from the Rom
anesque and the composite of France.
They have gone abroad for their ideas.
But there is no place in the world where

LIP BUTTONS IN ALASKA.
Archaeologists Discover Forerunner of
Modern Decoration,

Perhaps the most interesting archaeo-
logical discovery made on the north Goa st
of Alaska has ru-atlon to the present
methods of person9l decoration now used
by the natives of Alaska, the most sig
nifcant feature of which is the wearing
of lip buttons, or labrets, by the men,
says Harper's Magazine. The present
custom is that when a boy is IA or IS
years Of age holes are pierced In his
lower lip, one below each corner Of the
mouth
4 small wooden plug is at first insert
ed to keep the hole from growing to-
gether, and month by month a bigger
plug is used till finally the openings are
half an inch in diameter. At this point
the young man begins to wear stone or
ivory plugs. These ornaments are put
in from the inside, ordinarily. as one
might insert a button into shirt front
Usually the two buttons worn are each
of a different sort, while sometimes only
one of the holes is filled. and in summer
men are occasionally met with who wear
no buttons at all. When a visitor is seen
approaching, however, the ornaments are
always inserted, for one does not feel
dressed without them. In preparing for
sleep they are usually removed.

NEW FLORA FOR AN ISLAND.
Start cf Vegetation On Lava Bed-Dura-
ten CT Life CT Seed.

In 1888 the .sland of krakatoa, i'll
the Sunda strait. was covered 10 depth
Of - yards with lava by a tremendous
volcano outburst An interesting bo-
tanical problem was suggested. Here
was an area OF new rock absolutely de-
void IF plant life. How would It be re
conquered and repeopled by the. Yege-
tabIe world! So at the suggestion OF
Treub the island has been Kept Under
observation since 1886.
In that year it was found that those
simplest OF ali plants, the sOcaNed piue-
green algae, had formed thin, black
films over the surface In this Il number
of ferns and 4 few Towering plants mad
established themselves. By 1S9! the IS
land was covered with 4 charac:erlstlc
shore vegetation. including a species OF
ipomaea. Ferns predominated and there
were very few shrubs and no trees. Inc
latest expedition reports l3l species OF
plants belonging TO all the principal
groups. Ferns are no longer dominant
and the forests are rapidly increasing.
In d recent issue Of the proceedings
OF the Royal Society" j. White gives the
results Of some interesting experiments
OH the fermenIs and latent life of resting
seeds That the substance of germlnat-
ing seeds undergoes process OF fermen-
tation by which it is rendered suitable
for the nOurishment of the embryo is well
known. This is illustrated by The change
Of the starch of the barley seed into
sugar during the process of mating. 1t
is not, however known whether germina-
ton can take place IN the absence OF
ferment Mr.. White, however, finds that
the ferments III the seeds may retain
their activity long after the power OF
termination has been lost. The ferment
i'll a seed may retain its power for TWEEN
" years or more.
TIE seeds specially studied by Mr..
White were wheat. barley and other ce-
reals. He finds that the duration Of the
power of termination varies much. IN
rye it is about five years. but i'll wheat
from eleven to sixteen. No seeds which
had lost their power Of negotiating could
be induced to grow by adding Il ferment
And If this was added to one germlnat-
ing feebly the growth was retarded.
Ii further proof We're wanted that the
stories of wheat terminating after lying
for thousands OF years III Egyptian
tombs have no foundation i'll fact it is
supplied by Mr.. Whites determination
that the life of wheat seed is only from
eIeyen to sixteen yearS.-LOndOn Globe.

AMERICAS LEISURE CLASS.
Growing Rapidly and Menaces Society
with Idlers.

America has a leisure class, and it is
all the time growing. While there are
people who, from loyalty to some fanci-
full principles are indisposed to admit
this, the fact remains. Every country as
it grows older must Of necessity foster
the growth Of a leisure class that wiz
continue to flourish as long as stable po-
litical and social conditions are main
tanned. This leisure class can be
source of great usefulness and an ele
ment of national strength, as it is for the
most part in England, or it may be vain
and sDendthrift, a dangerous cause Of
weakness to the body polite, as it was III
France before the French revolution.
The question to be solved in America
is which of these two fields our growing
leisure class shall occupy. By disposI-
ton and heredity it might naturally be
expected to follow British precedent, bur
unfortunately certain tendencies have
from time to time appeared that give
ground for apprehension Wanton eX
trayagance, lack of purpose and negatlon
of responsibility are far too common.
Great numbers of our men and women
whose circumstances make them masters.
of their own time devote themselves al
most exclusively to the pursuit Of pleas
ure. There are, to be sure, many who.
have some serious purpose and labor con
sistently for the realization Of certain
ideals, but they are few compared to the
idlers. Unless the unoccupied find soEe
worthy object for their energies Ameri-
can character and ideals are bound 10

WESTERN CANADA AS A GRAIN
PRODUCER.
Never Saw Such Fine Wheat Any.

where.
Gust. Anderson, Of Maidstone, Sas
Aatchewan, was formerly Of Minnesota,
and has been in Central Canada three
years. On January IS, 1910, he writes:
Arriving fifteen miles from Maid.
stone, l bought couple of steers from
a rancher as my capital was not large,
and with the two oxen brought with
me, I broke 25 acres which l put in
crop in 1908, and had to clear some
brush. | earned $4,000 by breaking
fifteen acres for neighbor and dur
ing the summer l put up hay and
hauled timber and put up houses for
,thersettlers. Notwithstanding aheavy
frost on August 18th, had 22h bush
els or wheat per acre and so bushels
OF oats. Off 80 acres of wheat in 1909,
l got 81 bushels of wheat per acre
and 1900 bushels of oats off 20 acres.
/ never saw such fine wheat anywhere
We have plenty of rain between May
and August and after August seldom
any but dry, warm days. Water can
be had at from 20 to 40 feet, and
plenty Of grass for cattle"
The evidence of Mr.. Anderson is Civ
en- because 1t is encouraging to the
man of small means who is desirotls
Of lettering his condition. It shows
what can be done, and there is really
but small limit to the man with push
and energy to become wealthy on Can
adian lands. And the grain that he
raises is good. A press dispatch says:
The quality of the wheat continues
to be the feature Of the deliveries. In
the total of 1878 cars in the Febru-
airy inspections there were 2847 Of
high grade stuff, a percentage of "a 20.
For January the percentage was 1921,
ard for the six months it was $50.
This is an unusually high average, and
demonstrates beyond the shadow OF
doubt that the farmers in this part
of the Dominion still know how to
grow first class wheat The crop of
1903 was considered good enough, and
its average of contract wheat was only
70 per cent. Good weather Through
out the season was an important fac
tor, of course, in Isuring the high
quality of the grain, and it is not
likely that atmospheric influences of
SO favorable a character will be en-
countered for long time to come. The
best that can be expected is that a fair
average for a term of years will be
maintained.
