Scale of points-Young Breeder,
Twin Fails, Idaho: Will you kindly
publish the scale of points for Jer-
sey cattle in your valuable paper?
Are spotted Jerseys thoroughbred?
Reply-Jerseys are of varying col
or from fawn to almost black. Fash
ion has in the past prejudiced the
public against spotted, or broken
colors but they may be just as pure
in blood and many of the best pro
ducers of the breed are broken
colored cows. This pejudice is, we
are glad to say, passing away. The
term Thoroughbred applies only to
the English race horse. Pure bred

to use to distdgnuish from grades

ATTACKS ON JEFF
AND THE REASONS
The Big Fighter Refuses to Be a
"side Show" So the Crowd
Gets Sore.

Ben Lomond. Call. May 22.--It Is very
fortunate for Jim Jeffries that he is
training for prize fight instead of a
.politica! office The prospects seem
bright for his being the worst roasted
man who ever trained for a Champion
ship battle.
h Several of the coast papers have at
tackled him bitterly He has been
charged with everything from fran
ing" the Fourth Of July fight to being
In panic from fear. It has been re-
ported that he refuses to train, and
that he Is buried in perpetual sulks.
In and about the town Of Ben Lo-
mond, where Rowardennan Is located,
jeff is about as popular as the tax COL
lector. Village Joy riders who have
saved up to keep the town automobile
out until nearly midnight go by his
bungalow and boo" at him.
XII One goes to the camp at Rowarden-
nan expecting to find decrepit old
man being fed out of a spoon as he
tfains for the worlds championship.
The truth Is. Jeffries is training
faithfully and too vigorously II any
thing, He is in flne condition. Ills
unpopularity comes from the fact that
Id absolutely declines to be a hero.
Probably no other big fighter ever
trained under similar conditions The

thtir personal friends.
Very few OF these friends are con-
Ineoted with the ring. InNthe family

they get in the way, he is painfully
frank about 1t. Several have been re-
buffed in way that made them fu-
rious.
When demonstrated with, Jeffries re-
plies that he isn't training to please
the public. He is training to beat
one John Arthur Johnson.
Any fair-minded person cannot stay
a day at the Jeffries training camp
without being convinced of the injus-
tice of many of the reports about his
training not being ION the level JEFF
has a peculiar system Of training-in
fact. no system at all. But he works
very hard.
His trainers are afraid he is overs
doing 1t. He has arrived in condi-
ton much sooner than any of them
expected: their problem now is to keep
him on edge for six weeks. This is
so difficult that they all recognize that
1t is best to let Jeff follow his own in-
clinations and work or rest as the
spirit moves him.

improve adjacent land so that the
park might have river frontage.
Five months have passed, however. and
the final week of the session finds the
Legislators still undecided as TO the
acceptance of the gift.
Coincident with the announcement
of the Hartman gift. the Governor
made public offers of other gifts. de-
