WINTER SPORT NEWS.

The sporting editor of the State Jour
nal has a letter from Jack Wood, (re-
member JackO in which he tells of
his recent non appearance here to meet
Leo johnson. Wood says he was never
under contract to come and that MS
reason for declining to do SO was that
he had not been properly treated in
Topeka Now, it seems that he wants
to box here, seeking match with
either Spike Sullivan or johnson and
offering to put up money to guarantee
ringside appearance. He says his name
was used by the promoters of the last
bout at APO Kansas avenue to get a
crowd.
Whether or not this is true is a
matter for the club and Mr.. Wood tic
settle. However, Wood failed to ap-
pear twice when scheduled to poE'
once with Sullivan and once with
johnson. The fans quickly tire or
that sort of thing and these nonap-
pearances tend to hurt the boxing
game in Topeka. And right here is
the sole reason for the writer's inter
est in the thing. Boxing Is the only
winter sport in Topeka and he hopes
to see it conducted in such a manner
that the fans here will not tire of II
If this is to be accom- pliShed there
must be nothing but on the square
stuff dished out. Wood, in twice fail
ing to appear, established bad
precedent Now, it seems, it is up >
some one and a cash forfeit to guar
antee ringside appearance seems to be
the only way out of it.
Spike Sullivan has authorized the
writer to offer terms to Wood for a
match here WaShtngton'S birthday or
sooner. Spike isn't particular about
the weight, being willing the Solomon
Valley youth should weigh a ton if he
desires. But he wants a cash forfeit
posted to guarantee ringside appear
ance. Then it's all for the Washing
toms birthday doing. "And I never
won a match on Washington's BIRTH
day in my life," admits Sullivan.
The long announced visit Of Dale
Gear to this peaceful city Is now an
nounced for Thursday Of this week.
The manager of the Lost Kaws" is
expected to sojourn In this thriving
village for several days in connection
with baseball matters. It is presume d
that upon his arrival a lot of wonder
full news will be released for publica-
ton. Meanwhile we are still wonder
ing who the big league catcher is and
call attention to an Item printed re-
Gently to the effect that Bill Dwyer,
who is reported to be a promising
young first baseman, is free agent
and will probably play ball some
where this year.
Probably by next year Topeka will
have Soccer Football League. Three
teams have been organized this year
and once the virus gets into the blood
of an individual he is gone for life.
They never live down soccer football.
The bug lasts as long as a man lives.
This is especially true If there is a
little Scotch blood in his veins. More
teams will probably be organized by
the time the leaves come drifting down
once more.

OHIO DEMOCRATS
GETTING BUSY
CHAS, ZIMMERMAN OF SPRING.
FIELD, o. PASSED THROUGH
CITY EN- ROUTE TO COAST
BUCKEYES PREPARING FOR
SENATORIAL ELECTION.

Charles Zimmerman of Springfield,
o., one of the democratic war horses
or the buckeye state n a reported
candidate for United States senator
next year, passed through the city yes
terday EN- route to the Pacific coast,
Where ne is going on a pleasure trip.
During his brief stop-over in Fargo.
MT. Zimmerman had much to say re-
garding the POLITICAL situation in
ONO which he says is already taking
shape for next year in a. manner that
is interesting all the people of the
state.
1.-THE senatorial situation is one that
is going to be Of unusual interest all
over the country said Mr.. thinner
man. Reason for this is that the
general impression is that Ohio is still
normally republican and that the last
four consecutive democratic victories
nave been due to a split in the repuh-
lican ranks. -
This is erroneous, for the republi-
cans in Ohio have lost ground every
year since they first lost the governor
snip in 1905 when John Pattison de-
feated Myron T. Herrick for re-eIec-
ION, long before there was any split
IN the q. q. Ever since the demo-
Gratis nave shown increasing gains.
AS next year a successor will be
chosen to Theodore E. Burton in the
senate directly by the people, the con-
test is going to be anxiously watched"
continued Mr.. Zimmerman. Among
the republicans who have been ind1-
Gated might u are Former Senator
t;oraker of Cincinnati, Senator Burton
himself n Harry Dougherty of CO.
lumbus.
l. But the battle royal is going to be
between the democratic aspirants. AL
ready lining up their forces it is rum
ored throughout Ohio, are Former
Governor Harmon of Cincinnati, Gov
ernor Cox of Dayton, Congressman
Sharp of Elyrfa and Former Governor
Campbell of Columbus. Just now
Governor Harmon and Governor Cox
would appear to have the lead, in
which event it is expected Congress-

While he would not admit it, it is
known that Mr.. Zimmerman himself is
a possibility to be reckoned with when

TWO fine SPECIMENS
Product of North Dakota That Is Be-
ing Shown at the First National
Bank of This City.

The First National bank of this city
has on display two very fine speci-
mems of the product of North Dakota
which are attracting a good deal Of
attention. One of these is a fine
bunch of clover that comes from the
farm of w. e. Clark. two miles north
of Tower City, Cass county, and is a
great showing of what can be done
in this state. 1t is large, vigorous and
shows that it is worth c%ultivating. 1t

the bank.
The other is two quarts of straw
berries which were raised on the farm
or garden of the experimental station
near New Rockford. The berries are
about the finest that have been raised
in the state, or in fact, anywhere, and
have been greatly admired by many
people. These two specimens have
been exciting the delight of many
people,

THE easy method of farming, that
Of robbing the soil of it's fertility by
constant cropping of the small cereals,
must be supplanted by a more %sCienti-
nc or common sense method, that Of
crop rotation n diversifcation. All
admit that this is the surest method
of conservation. but when it comes to
making the most out of the various
crops grown in a profitable and sue
cesstul rotation some differ, though
n good business farmer must admit
that the greatest factor in develop
ment of agriculture along progressive
and profitable lines is the dairy COW.
But you may ask why? Simply be-
cause the good dairy GOV consumes a
large amount Of rOughage that has
comparatively small market value and
converts it into money, and she is
doubly a Godsend to the farmer who is
living on the land depleted in fertility,
as she converts his product into cash,
and by reason of the manure and
skim-milk left on the farm she leaves
1t in better condition than before her
coming.
Il have in mind the value Of the cow
as a soil builder from actual expert
ence. My farm was a rented farm for
many years. had never grown clover,
and grain was sold at the elevator as a
means Of making the farm return
something to it's owner and occupant.
Some Of the fields had become very
low in fertility and humus was badly
needed. This ~half-section farm had
carried not to exceed twenty head of
livestock for over twenty years, and
the result was the light places became
lighter and larger until it was not Of

DAIRY COW BEST

STOCK NECESSARY TO PRO-
GREssIVE AGRICULTURE, THE
BANKERS AGREED.

Duluth, July 14.-How the dairy COW
can turn WORKOUT or wild land into
valuable farms was explained to the
recent convention Of the Minnesota
Bankers association at Duluth by W.
F. Sch1lling, Mortified, president of
the Minnesota State Dairymen's asso-
citation. Mr.. Schilling said:
ITO my mind the farmer is consti-
tuted about the same as bankers and
any other class Of citizens, and he Is
most interested in the kind Of farming

turns for the amount of energy and
capital expended. Now the back to
the farm movement will be spasmodic
and short lived If the farmer cannot
receive a profit on his labor, energy or
capital invested, and the first PROPOSE
ton, then, that confronts those who
are assisting in the development work
is to interest themselves from the
financial standpoint. There is abso-
lutely no trouble getting men interest
