the ineXcusable failure Of Governor DiX
who goes out of office tomorrow, to ap-
point a third member for space Of al
most two years. In spite of this handi-
cap, however. it has worked hard and
earnestly to raise the level Of boxing, and
needless to say, 1t has done well.

bandages on the hands. Only cotton
gauze or other soft material will be per-
mitted hereafter to protect the knuckles

used rather for the purpose of punish
ment than for protection TO the hand, is
prohibited. Another good point was the
rule against breaking the padding away
from the knuckles for the sake of making
a blow more effective. Personally, L am
also in favor of the new scale OF weights
adopted, and only wish that the commits
sion was national in its scope, so that
il might be accepted as standard the
country over. 1t may be said, however
that the work OF the commission is Delns
recognized far and wide. so that out OF IT
may grow a national governing body,

Safety plays an important part OF the

ABILENE SALES DAY
GETS A BOOST.

The Merchants Journal OF Topeka
edited by Paul L0vewelI, one Of the
states best newspaper men, devotes
Z page to write UP Of the Abilene
Sales Day. A reproductions Of one
Of the advertisements used, giving
the special bargains, is printed ana
3 full description Of how the sales
day is conducted appears. the Jour
nal says:
Abilene, Kan, famous mot only
for IT'S AbfHenA water, but for many
other things, is one Of the towns OF
the state which is making success
Of it's monthly auction and NaEes
day.
Some towns have fallen down on
this plan. They say It has not been
a success, from any standpoint. The
probability ia that the success or
failure Of the auction and sales day
depends largely on how the plan is
managed, and how thoroughly the
merchants cooperate to make the
undertaking a winner.
"The success of the auction and
sales day" says d. w. Tappen, sec
rotary of the Abilene Commercial
club, depends on the way you adj
vertise the same, and the kind OF an
auctioneer you have"
Abilene has advertised its sales
day thoroughly; the merchants have
all helped, and the auctioneer has
evidently been the right man for
the job.
Abilene is playing the game wise
". It puts on the monthly auction
sale as a clearing house for the far
mers. While it has the farmers
interested, the merchants each get
busy and advertise some special bar
gain for that day. There is Just one
big drive advertisement from each
store. and each merchant is given
an equal amount Of space to adyer-
tise his drive" ON the cooperative
handful issued by the Merchants
association.
In addition to this each merchant
has the right to take all the space
he wants in the local papers to
boost his game. The result is that
for a week or more before the
monthly sales day. the Abilene news
papers carry a lot OF extra adver'
