HEAVYWE|GHTS
BEING SIGHTED
Lightweight Boxers Are Now
Being Sought By Promoters
There's q Reason
(By W. W. Naughton.)

San Francisco, Sept. S.-Heayy-
weight pugilists are out of style, at
cas- Tor the time being. Possibly the
fact that Jack Johnson and a few
other dusky skinned men are on TOP
OF the heap has something to do with
the public's indifference toward the
big fellows. But, whether such is the
case or not, it is noticed that the pro-
motors are not reaching out for
heavyweight cards. and the promoters
are supposed to keep q finger on the
public pulse.
Some idea Of the manner in which
heavyweight talent is being sighted
can be CLEANED from the experiences
OF Jim Flynn and Carl Morris. This
pair have been hunting a battle-ground
for months, and there is grave doubt
even now al to whether they have
found one.
Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian pro-
moter, makes 1t his boast that he
will have a whole herd of American
heavies In Sydney before Christmas.
Possibly he will. The heavyweight
situation at present resembles a weed
patch, and II Mac has secured the
men he speaks of, it may give those
tender plants known as white
hopes" a chance to grow.
Heavies Arc Wandering. T..
1t is noticed, however, that McIn-
ltosh is not Dragging about American
Iltghtweights he will introduce to
tight lovers Of Australia. No, air.
The lghtweights are having it made
worth their while to stay at home and
the heavies r being permitted to
wander where they listeth. The moral
stands out in this like a wooden peg
in a cheap shoe.
Lightweight boxers will furnish the
best of the pugilistic entertainment
in this country for quite a while. And,
the better the lightweight, the oftener
he will entertain.

offer to match his man against Fred

1t almost looks as IL Morgan, in adj
dition to claiming the lightweight
championship for Brown, might claim
the record for the greatest number
of matches in the shortest, space Of
time. Surely 1t must be a record.

STRONG ELEVEN
All But Few Of Last Years
Squad VIII Be Back-oo-
ing After State Title

According to Coach doc" O'Keefe,
the Grand Forks high school will have
as classy q bunch Of gridiron warriors
TOR the football team as the institution
has ever boasted Of, at any rate the
best since the championship team Of
1906.
The local high school eleven was
some fast aggregation last year and a
number Of old men will be back to don
the padded sweater, the cleated shoes
and the shin guards again. The fact
that many Of the old men will be able
to dig their football gear out of the
garnet and will get out with almost
the same bunch that upheld the name
Of the school last year, leads those
who have followed the high school ath-
letics to believe that they will have
the brawniest, fastest and best foot
ball machine that has worked for the
Grand Forks red and white for some
few years.
Clarence Hassell, captain and half
back, is said to be one Of the fastest
men in the state. He will be back
again to lead the team through Fargo's
line and to victory against the other
teams Of the commonwealth. Leo
Henry, said to be the fastest end in
the state, will be out again for his
position on the right wing. Howard
Coulter, all-star left guard, will stack
up like a side Of q brick house at the
left center. Saul Ffshman, last years
star fullback. will also be on the job
again.
Ralph Lynch, last years right guard,
is expected to prove there with the
goods in his old position. "Bub". Will
Hams, also Of the last year eleven,
will be seen adorning his old place in
right tackle. "Snip" O'Keefe is ex-
pected to make himself more useful
than ever. Although he can play any
position on the team and hold down
the job a Ia Eckersoll, it is expected
that he will be the brains Of the team
, at quarterback. T. B. Holmes will be
out again and will occupy the central
berth. Don Payne, Lee Norman, SUBJ

year, Ferguson, Bert Ryan. Grumiller,

BUYING A TROUSsEAU.

The best of all advice is to buy as lit
tie as possible. realizing what the con-
ditions of the future will be and what
will be needed for immediate wear.
Fashions alter so rapidly nowadays
that it is a mistake to have more
clothes than one can comfortably use,
BUT have just enough Of the best for
the moment. A few dollars to purchase
gowns and wraps as one wants them is
a good provision, for often. occasions
arise that are not thought of before the
wedding.
1t is not well to go into shops pro-
miscuously and be tempted to buy what
pleases you at the time. Make COM
prehensive lists and do not depart from
them. So many things are captivating.

is considered best, for so many blouses
may be worn with it for variety Smart
blouses for travelling are of pongee,

silk
And for real service. to serve as a
dinner gown while on tour and for in
formal wear when the honeymoon is

frock OF black chiffon or net to be worn
over white or colored slips.
Velvet makes some Of the dressy
suits of the season. and when trimmed
with fur and worn with a muff to
match it is an ideal costume for best
wear.
Six of each sort of undergarment are
sufficient. but the number of hats
gloves and other accessories is a mat
ter of how much one has TO spend or

ing things one is apt to get a lot OF

other and are utterly worthless.

TO THREAD NEEDLES.

Here is a useful device invented by
clever woman. 1t should have a
place on every woman's sewing table.
Get block of wood two or three inches
square, a double pointed tack 0ike the
kind used in matting) and a small
folding reading or magnifying glass.
Open the glass and lay the cover on
top of the block of wood, let the glass
project its full size over the size of the
block. then fasten in place with the
tack If block of wood is not OBJ
tainahle use an empty spool of basting
thread size.
When you want to thread a small
sized needle hold the needle and the
thread under the glass and you will
have no trouble In getting it through
the eye When you use the machine
tip the block over near the needle and
save time and trouble there also.
These blocks are Invaluable for eld-
erly women and those too busy to
bother with threading and unthread-
ing needles continually. A good plan
is to thread before starting to sew all
the needles with their different kinds
of thread and silk that you are likely
to have use for

sity, and so on down the scale OF colors.
Asa result smart women never con-
slider their wardrobes complete with
out set of ermine, chinchilla and sa-
BILE, white fox and skunk. moIeskin and
black fox, in order that one of the sets
may be worn with any color scheme.
There is an erroneous impression
that silver fox is more valuable than
black. Indeed. the natural black fox
is really regarded the prerogative
of those endowed with the riches OF
Croesus. A characteristic detail of the
latest fur fashions is the reversing of
the natural flow of the fur, producing
Greek key, oblique and vertical de-
signs. This idea is seen on stoles,
scarfs, muffs and coats. Fisher tails
are used for the adornment of plush
and seal coats. They are. arranged to
form ffounces, revers and cuffs In
fact, the coats are reminiscent Of those
worn by the leaders Of fashion a quar-
ter OF a century ago.

Of the baby's earliest months the con-
clusion has been reached that the old
fashioned sweeping robes shall be re-

the short ones, which recently have

Up TO the minute mothers have
adopted the bag idea of clothing for
the newborn infant, which idea is be-
ing used in several baby hospitals and
public nurseries. When the bag is
used all clothes are dispensed with ex
