goaded by the criticisms of James j.
Corbett today aimed a verbal upper
cut at Gentleman jim" which he
hopes will stop the talk of the erst-
while champion. Johnson says that
Corbett by his conduct in his fight
with Kid Mccoy was responsible for
the closing UP of the boxing game in
New York. Johnson also says that
Corbett has done more to hurt boxing
than any other man connected with
the sport either as a fighter or writer.
The big negro laughs at Corbett's ac-
cusations that he is afraid of Nc
yey, Langford and jeanette and comes
back with the old reply that he will
fight anything OF anybody if he gets
his price.

Opening Of Games at Stockholm on

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 9.-Western
athletes who expect to take part in
the Olympic games at Stockholm this
year are almost unanimous today in
announcing their dissatisfaction with
the date set by the international com
mittee for the opening of the games,
June 90. The Americans feel that
this early date will not give them
time for proper training in the Swed-
ish city before they must compete.
Several have limited that the date
was fixed in an effort to handicap
the Americans, who have been vic
torious in three straight meetings.

Those Re-
verse Years

No level-headed farmer will become
discouraged because OF one seasons
results.
This year there was a big general
crop OF apples. This was heralded
abroad all through the season. The
swindlers saw their opportunity and
doubtless had their plans lad long
before harvest time
They knew there would be a rush
be more easy than usual to get as.
signments.
The apple grower has had his les
son of experience, costly, as such
lessons always are, but it will be of
future value.
Whatever this lesson may entail in
present loss or future profit, the re-
suit is no reason why the apple grow
ers should either relax his effort or
get discouraged.
Next year, according to rules of ma
ture, will prove shorter general crop
and those who have apples should
get high prices for them and may
have the market begging with its
cash, to get them.
Two springs ago potatoes were
planted in large acreage in the West
ern Slope mainly because there was
an over supply of potatoes on hand
which had no market and seed cost
nothing
The outcome was happy one how
ever, for the crop, by reason of potato
failures over many states, brought big
prices and cleared our growers about
800 an acre for their crop.
This season, however, the potato
was a better general crop. and while
our growers planted seed worth $500
a hundred. they only received an aver
age of about CSC for their harvest,
or one-half what they sold for year
ago.
And so it goes. The crop history as
a continuous program of like results
almost within the memory of man.
1t might be well, perhaps. if the
farmers would give more thought 70
these reverse years and not go quite
so much on the long chance of re
peaters' Because a proposition hap
pens to be a present success, is no
reason why it should be the one best
