without saying that a short fight

that I do. If Jeffries knocks me out

%Johnson's recorded ring career
shows sixty-four battles since 1901.
OF those only three were decided

lost a twenty-round decision to Mar

With the exception Of Jim Corbett

years--from 1897 to 1905. He has
the shortest fighting record of any
champion - twenty battles. One

were either with champions or aspir-

Queensbury rules. When victory has
gone decisively to one or the other
the championship will not be in dis

DICKINSON WILL TEST
COTTON PRODUCTS

Washington. March S.-That the cotton
plant is capable not only of clothing but
feeding large part of the people of the
south was the statement made to Secre-
tary Dickinson by his nephew, who resides
in Ennis. Tex. He has informed the sec
rotary of the shipment to him from Texas
of samples of cotton seed flour, bread and
cakes. This food has been privately test
ed for 20 years and the secretary's
nephew wishes him to test it.
The cost of the cotton seed flour is said
to be- only 20 or 70 per cent of that of
cereals. while it's nutritiye value is de-
clared to be five to seven times as great.
To give the necessary consistency about
40 per cent of wheat flour is added to the
cotton seed -four but for cakes and such
food no mixture is required.
Analysis shows that the cotton seed
contains 37.7 per cent more protein than
wheat -four, and though 1t is deficient
to the extent of AL per cent in car
bohydrates, the lack easily can be rem
edied by the use OF vegetables or sugar
Secretary Dickinson and his friends are
awaiting the arrival of the samples with

IDAHO LANDS ARE
TO BE CARED FOR

washington, March S.--Hereafter Idaho
will brook no opposition from the for
estry service of the United States in state
school sections within the forest reserya-
tons of that state. Senator Hepburn
made announce ment to this effect while
the agricultural appropriation bill was
under the discussion then going on Ia
the Senate today. He was speaking of
the right of the government to include the
school sections in its supervision OF res
elvation areas, and in this connection MI.
Smoot raised the contention that the
rational authority was supreme II the
land had not been surveyed. lie said
that even when the forestry service HAD
cut timber on the unsurveyed sections 1t
had turned over to The state 20 per cent
OF the proceeds.
He then went on TO say that the recent
administration of the forest reservation
had been utterly regardless of the law.
"And let it be understood he thun-
dered, that from this time on Idaho
proposes to administer its own lands.
The authorities have been instructed OF
their competency in this respect, and they
will protect their interests. If they are
disturbed by the foresters they will In
woke the aid of the state constabulary."
The Idaho senator went into detail IN
describing instances in which settlers
lad been evicted from their homes within
the reserves for no other reason, he
said, than that the foresters wanted the
Use Of their improvements.
In reply TO Mr.. ShNely, he said these
proceedings were absolutely arbitrary
and without any sanction of legal au-
thority.

was corroborated by his colleague. Mr..
