retaining the toga which marks his
championship in some class yet to-
be discovered. He is a champion all
right enough, there is no gainsaying
that fact, for he has defeated every
wrestler who has bucked up against
him. Some of them have gone down
in double quick order. Thompson
stayed about as long as any of those
who have been defeated by the Wat
crloo grappler. He stayed a little
more than 40 minutes. Brown was
quicker, stronger and had more en-
durance when the match had
progressed. Thompson, handicapped
by the fact that he only secured a
weeks training, looked like a cy-
clone for the first few minutes, but
after that his condition began to tell
and he dwindled down into a mild
wind storm.

From the start, Thompson stayed be-

was too strong and broke them all.
Finally, when Brown did get behind,
he dove for his favorite hold, Sc

mat. The second match was ten min

appeared to get stronger, while the
local grappler's strength diminished.

would have to win in short order il
he expected TO win at all. The de-

time for training. He is willing to
post a side bet for the next perform

winner, and it may be that he will

Teacher Has Her Own Farm,

Miss Anna Nedobtyty, teacher at the
Franklin school. has demonstrated her
ability as a practical farmer by raising
asparagus on her fve-acre country

Paul public schools Miss Nedobyty de.
termined to try her hand at vegetable
gardening.
She first decided on the bee indus

because Of the amount of time 1t takes
to care for the bees. She then spent
a summer on a berry farm to learn
how to raise berries. That was aban.

crops. After consulting with experts
on farm products she decided on as
