McF arIand OyerwheIms Murphy
Could Have Scored K. O..

COncluSlVely last n1SnC IN new 1OTh
that he is the peer of all fighters I'M
der 40 pounds. He effectively crack |
ed Harlem Tommy Murphy, generally |
considered on of the hardest nuts in |
the lightweight division, ranking
next to Champion Willie Richie.
Murphy never got started in the |
fight. He was stopped at every point,
and Mcfarland made him look like a
novice gaining his first experience in
battle. To say that Packey's lead
was mountainous fails to adequately
describe the result. He was the only
man in the ring.
Murphy did not land more than
ten blows in the ten rounds, and
these were made ineffective by the
fact that Mcfarland was usually go
ing away when they connected. On
the other hand, the stockyards man
planted hooks and jabs on his fellow
Irishman at will, and forced him all
over the ring.
At times it seemed that Mcfarland
would surely score a knockout, but
each time Murphy was in distress
Packey slowed up and let his oppo-
nent recuperate. He preferred to let
Tommy stay the full limit, so he could
have further chance to show his wide
margin of superiority.
After the fight Willie Richie chaI-
lenged Mcfarland to make 1875
pounds ringside. That stipulation
precludes all possibility of the go.
Mcfarland has steadfastly declined
to make anything but 1875 pounds at
3 o'clock for Ritchie,. knowing he
cannot be strong if he weighs in at
the ring.
Five pounds of beef prevent Nc
Farland being lightweight champion
of the world, for after last nights
fight it is generally conceded that he
could trim Richie with almost, as
much ease as he did Murphy.

1t goes without saying that all re-
aIity is In constant state Of crea-
ton. Tho past Is the present; the
future Is not yet, but will be. To
logically conceive OF time az a re-
ality beyond the present is an i'm
poe ibility, and 20 conceive OF II as
a reality back OF the present
moment Is just as impossible
To conceive OF one body being
outside another In space Is quite
different from conceiving OF one
body extending beyond another in
points OF time. Little do tho ma
jority Of humanity realize that our
sciences deal only with that which
ia stable and conservative and that
they are not applicable to life, &C.
ton and motion. Science would
have us believe that one body lies
outside another In points of time
az one body lies outside another
In space. but this Is an error.
And right here is where man
makes a mistake In his science of
life He cannot compute a revolu-
tionary and a conservative state
with one scienre. He must have
science for each state. or rather
philosophy for the former and q
science for the latter II he is really
going to make any progress. There
can be no progress made by putting

scratch against their record in all that time.
 Before his appointment the tower man is very closely examined and his record and personal habits minutely gone into. But after he goes to work in his tower he is left alone. A cer- tain section of the railroad is intrust- ed to his keeping for veal or woe There are no eyes on him as there are on the sentry. Instead, they watch him by wire. This would seem almost impossible. but it isn't. The train dis patcher gets to know the towermen as them by number and by name as well.
 While 1t may not seem so," said an old train dispatcher, s'thes towerman is really watched every minute and he knows it. His work is so promi- nent in the operation of the road that any variation in it becomes instantly apparent to the train dispatcher. His job, of course, requires him to be alert and quick in action at all times. The minute he begins to drink or gets care less trains begin to be delayed and the telegraph wire leading out of his tow CT will also tell the story. Today, un- der the automatic block system such as the New Haven has the worst the negligence of a, towerman can do is to delay trains probably, but from the operators standpoint that is very se- rious. The Chief Train Dispatcher is watching and seeking the cause of every delay and a negligent towerman simply cannot escape detection now days, even though his tower may be hundred miles away from the Dis patcher's office"

K. OF c. FIGHT
 TO HOLD OFFICES
 IN THE ELM CITY

New Haven, July 26-Connecticut members of the Knights Of CoIuunbua delegated to attend the annual con vention in Boston the week of August 4, intend to make a hard fight to prevent the removal of the national headquarters from New Haven. For year now a move has been on foot to have the headquarters established in Washington D. C., where many Knights desire a building that could be used by visitors to Washington
 Another fight that will be headed by Connecticut men will be an effort to get relief from high insurance rates for the old members of the KnightT of Columbus. This is a matter thai has come ups time and again and has caused some heavy fighting IL is said that this year will be the last that such a fight will be made.
 Delegates to the national conven- ton from Connecticut are: Daniel Cclwell William M- Geary, Cornelius T. DriscoIl, pr. Matthew C. OsCon- nor. F. J. Kennedy and W. J. Mo- Ginley. supreme secretary. all of New Haven; Coroner J. J. Phelan of Bridgeport. State Deputy W. ,. Null ligan of Thompsonvilles T.. J. KeRoe, of NaugatuclS, William Carey of Willi- mantle, F. J. Talbot of Greenwich, and William Durnin of Danbury.
 About 50 Knights are expected to so from New Haven, most of them leav- ing here on Sunday, August B. Head quarters will be at the Hotel Puri- tan. adjoining the Hotel Somerset where the convention headquarters will be. The first session of the couven- lion will be held at s:20 a. m-, bou- day, August 4.

Mexico's Bad Condition
Failure to Plant crops-Lack of Em-
 pIoyment-soarcity of Money

Mexico City, July 26. - Mexico is getting hungry, and early in July if was evident that this condition would become much worse before relief could be had. Failure to plant crops in thousands of fields formerly cul- tivated, the increasing number of idle men due to the closing down of nu- merous industrial concerns, and the indirect siege instituted against scores of cities have resulted in reducing to a deplorabIe condition regions where a great majority of the population asked only to be permitted to work.
 Lack of money resulting from lack of work has had it's effect in increas- ing the prices, but the most direct cause has been the cutting of the rail roads in all parts of the country
 Failure to plant crops has not yet had its full direct effect. The sea son for the. Haturing of most crops has not come, but when 1t does. 1t ia inevitable that the country will find ataeIf forced to buy abroad; and mon ey is scarce. In previous revolutions the planting has not been so seriously hindered, but since this is the most widespread revolt the country has seen there are hundreds of thousands of implanted acres.

One Big Merchants Method.

With the difference all in Eav- or of the buyer"
 That is the way one large and fEHsHeEsery successful n7ercnausE headlines a special sale in a we'll known city.
 Then he goes on to say that having made an exceptionally large and advantageous purchase of goods he is going to swing the difference the customers way. for he wants to prove to the public that he is building in way that benefits his patrons as well as himself.
 In other words, on such an oc- casion he gives more than good measure.
 But that isn't such an unusual thing to do after all.
 Right here in our own commun- ity there are merchants who right along give their buying public the best of a good bit of rnercandis- ing. who make the difference in favor of the buyer"
 You will find this constantly exempIified in the columns of THE FARMER.
 It is a fine policy; it pays-paEs the customer and. pays the mer- chant.
