UNITED PHsss LEASED w1nn.l

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 2.-Tom Car.
ey is in a, dilemma today. The fight
promoter has $4,000 on his hands
that he doesn't want. The money be-
ing in two $4,000 rolls, contributed by
Willie Richie and Ad Wolgast to
prove that they are willing to bet
$4,000 on their ability to beat each
other in the ring.
McCarey has made up his mind that
he will not try to stage WOlgast-Rit-
chic battle for the side bet if the men
actually do fight. He doesn't believe
a match of that kind would help the
game. Furthermore, he doesn't want
to act as stakeholder for the princi-
pals.
Richie left his money with McCarey
before he departed from Los Angeles
recently. Tom Jones slipped his check
into McCarey's hands just before he
rushed for a San Francisco train last
night. McCarey stated today that he
would hold the money until something
definite is decided, but thai he pre-.
ferred not to be an official stake
holder, and that he would adhere to
his determination not to stage the pro-
posed match.

William R. Lighton, author-farmer,

J. H. Young, Of the Oregon Electric and

Upon this occasion he was more enthu-

As one Of the results Of his second

here. Mr. Lighton's popularity in the
"forward to the soil" talk that has
swept the country is due to his very
readable description of his experiences
under the head of 'The Story of an
Arkansas Farm" This article details
what he accomplished, as an inexperi-
enced agriculturist, after taking hold
of rundown farm near Fayetteville,
Arkansas.
Mr.. Lighton does not plume himself
on being a notable exception in shrewd-
ness Of farm management, bnt adds
there are many neighbors like him who
have done the same thing and have
made as good showing as he has within
the past few years. He did not add,
