The Professor.


Billings ushered in the professor
with fourishing introduction.
The great man never spoke, but
gave me the end OF one finger, and
devflish grudgingly at that. He Just

straight and stiff, ignoring the chairs
thrust toward him from every point.
One hand was stuck in his stiff broad
cloth bosom, with elbow pointing out
ward, and his great topheavy head
reared above US impressively.

bly,: "Ahl won't you sit down, pro-

It is, therefore, very important that

all the leaves will be saved.
When possible to do so it Is best to
cut alfalfa late in the afternoon or
evening. Dew or rain on the freshly
cut alfalfa will not injure it. Where a
tedder is used, it should be started in
the morning as soon as most Of the

! The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad will run an alfalfa combina-
ton railway and automobile train for
a two weeks campaign, making about
so stops in southern Iowa and north
ern Missouri, beginning July %, 1918,
from Des Moines.
The plan, as worked out by the Bur-
lington in cooperation with the Agri-
cultural Extension Department Of the
International Harvester Company of
New Jersey and the agricultural col
leges, is far in advance of any agri-
cultural extension work ever carried
on.
Will Stop at Sixty Points.
Local committees at each of the 60
points on the railroad will arrange for
five to ten automobiles to carry the
speakers in all directions into the coun-
try to farm homes, school houses and
inland towns within a radius Of from
four to ten miles, where alfalfa lee
lures will be given.
During the campaign over 600 al
falfa lectures will be delivered by
the party to as many audiences, and
from 500 to 700 automobiles will be
brought into the service of this great
educational movement.
These campaigns are conducted on
a strictly cooperative basis.
The people will provide:
LIST. A guarantee of at least five to
ten automobiles at each railroad stop
to carry the speakers to the points
in the country where meetings are to
be held.
End. Halls suitable for the central
meeting i'm towns where train stops.
3rd. Any community desiring a
campaign must send in request to
the railroad, agricultural college CO.
operating, or to the Agricultural Ex-
tension Department, signed by rep

business men.
The railroad will provide:

the alfalfa campaign party, and bag

the young sprouts or shoots start to

When alfalfa is left too long without
cutting, the leaves fall off and the
stems become woody, and the yield Of

public has been wanting to see and
will d Ike each one of the classes
larger.
Mike Donnelly has a green PAGER
that is going to be a sensation. They
do not care to say how fast he is
stepping, but Tuesday his first work
out was so fast that his owner did not
believe his watch and asked to have
the horse repeated and then he step
ped a faster mile than the first one.
Honor's Princess will be with us
at the next meet. Last year she got
a mark of :17A and it is said she is
training better than ever before. Fun
ny Swift is stepping some fast miles
in his workouts and is also headed for
the next meet.
George Pointer is rounding into a
very promising trotter and after each
workout day his owner advances the
price on him. In a few weeks, if he
continues to train steadily, Ms owner
will never consider selling him. He
will be classed with the slow trotters
at the next meeting.
There is some talk of getting in
some running horses for the Fourth,
which would be a big drawing card,
| but some of the promoters seem TO
desire another class for the PAGERS
and others were inspired by the team
of mules running away at the last
race and seem to think a mule race
will be exciting. At any rate they are
leaving nothing undone to have q
good meet and will surely interest
anyone who is fond of the horses.
Mr.. Russell has moved both of his
horses to the track and both will be
entered in the next race. Almeads
R. is a big strong PAGER that viii

Local Pugilist Hammers Jimmie

GO STAGED IN MID-STREAM

Crowd on Hand.

Earl Henderson added another laurel
leaf to his credit yesterday by win
ming the decision over Jimmie Murphy,
the Chicago battler, who lost to
Packy Mcfarland one year ago by a
shade, in 10 round go.
The go was staged in mid-stream,
near Andalusia, and there was no at

the authorities. Murphy had the fight
Of his career on hand yesterday, and
during the closing rounds was hammer
ed about the ring until he was groggy.
Owing to a misunderstanding it was
noised about that the fight was a
draw. At the end of the 10th round,
both fighters were standing together,
and Referee Dennis Bennett raised
Murphy's hand, thinking it to be Hen.
derson's. He Immediately discovered
his mistake and grabbed Henderson s
mitt. The crowd then got the i'm
preston that the affair was a draw.
MURPHY GROGGY.
In the first two rounds, both men

started his famous rushing and boring
tactics, but was stopped every time

beginning of the sixth, Murphy awak
ened to the fact that his rushing wa!
more disastrous than otherwise. HI
then switched his attack, and standing
up boxed his opponent, holding Hen

even.
