schools of Chicago, yesterday mani
tested her approval of the gentle art
of boxing as a healthful form of ath-
letic pastime and of the public exhi
bition OF the .Jetfres- johnson fight pie
lures removed of their brutal and dis
tasteful features. She declared That
boxing is form of exercise which
growing boys should indulge in under
the proper instruction.
Il don't see how we can very well
disapprove of boxing" said Mrs. Young,
when the former president of the
United States induged in the exercise
with boxer specially engaged for
that purpose. Boxing as an exercise
is said to be healthful one, and
approve of it in the physical develop
ment of boys. Therefore | don't see
why moving pictures of boxing exhi-
billions should be suppressed as long
as they are the right kind. As for the
pictures of the Jeh'ries johnson fight
if the brutal and distasteful portions
are eliminated. | see no objection to
showing them as boxing exhibition"

BASS CROP WILL BE SHORT
Dry Creek Bed and Sl0ughs Cut Off
Supply of Fry

St. Paul Pioneer Press: As a result
of the extreme low water i'll the river,
and the consequent drying up of the
sloughs, there Will be a scarcity of bass
in Minnesota for the next two years.
according to local fisherman who in for
mer years have assisted the state
game and fish commission in gathering
bass fry along the Mississippi.
Members of the fish commission are
now down the river as far as Winona
looking over the prospect of gather
ing the small bass. with which the
Propagating ponds at Glenwood, are
stocked but reports to the office at
the capitol are not very encouraging.
1t has been customary in former
years to gather the little bass before
the water receded, but this year the
water has not been high enough to
allow the usual SEEMING operations
Therefore the number of. bass fry that
will be placed in captivity will be very
small.
1t usually takes three years for the
average bass to become the proper size
for anglers.

posed to Erect Ten Thousand
Dollar Structure; Gymnasium and
Hall for Sessions; Bowling Alley.

ana Pauls club was held last night.
and the matter of building Il gym
nasllm and club room was taken up.

The meeting was large and enthu-
slastic one, and from the spirit shown
it is likely that something will result.
Committees were appointed to solicit
subscriptions, and these will hold a
meeting with the directors of the soci-
ETY. Monday night, when their work
will no doubt be laid. out. Upon the
result of the work of these committees
and the reponse made by the member
ship OF the church will depend whether
the building will be erected.
Building to Cost $4,000.
Plans for the building have not vet
been completed but it is thought that
a suitable one can be erected for
$4,000. The basement will be used as
a bowling alley, and for baths, etc, the
first floor for the gymnasium, and the
second floor for hall for meeting
place for the various societies of the
church.
One of the speakers at the meeting
was Rev. Father Muntach of ST. Louis

OF of the project and gave some good

COMPLAIN OF LAW VIOLATION
Automobiles Are Run Regardless of
Rights of Other Vehicles

Madison Lake Tribune: Many COM
plants have been made recently re-
garulng autos running at high speed az
night with 10 lights, and thereby Ell
dangerDg the lives of people who may
be driving or walking on the roads.
Sunday night while coming from Man
kato by team an auto sped by lis with
no light in the front or rear, and near
a piece of road so narrow that either
the auto or team would have been
thrown to the side down the bank had
they met us.
This matter is getting serious and
the complaints more and more numer-
Gus and we look for a serious accident
unless some means are taken to pre-
vent the reckless driving, and running
without lights.
Farmers living in this vicinity are
fast losing their, patience with the au-
tosts who persist in running their ma
chimes far ahead OF the speed limit
prescribed by law and who pay no at
tention whatever to the law which re-
quires lights both ahead and in the
rear at shutdown Several complaints
have come directly to this Office re-
Gently and unless change is made in
the running of autos there will be
some warrants sworn out and the law
given a test. As one farmer said. if
the law is no good have it declared
null and void. and then a shot gun
brigade will be organized that will ac-
complish something. One farmer who
came in town after hard days work.
the othe revening after dark told of
meeting an auto going about forty
miles an hour with no lights whatever.
He stated his life was not safe on the
roads which such drivers were allowed
to run about loose. 1t is said the
automobile law was passed with the
endorsement of the auto clubs and
now that no attention is paid to it
by many, there are naturally great
many complaints made.
