TURN DOWN THE SIGN
PAINTER.

Farmers should not allow their
barns or outbuildings that are
close to the road to be decorated
with the advertisements Of ar.
ucles or the business of mer.
chants Of nearby towns. 1t de-
tracts from the appearance of
the farm and gives the place a
too much commercialized aspect.
a sign OF that kind soon becomes
an eyesore to both the farmer
and his neighbors. What little
protection the advertisers paint
gives the building is more than
offset by its ugly appearance

Not Good For Peach Trees.

Stable manure alone is not the best
plant food for thrifty peach orchard.
The manure contains too large pro-
portion of nitrogen. The effect Of this
is to drive the trees to wood growth
rather than to fruit. Apple and plum
trees can stand this sort of feeding far
better than peach. the latter being
more delicate and more inclined to
make wood.-Rural New Yorker.

Seattle, WASH, Oct. 3.-Superior
Judge John E. HUMPHREYS, who has

HARRY F. PORTER
RUNS FOR OFFICE
LOCAL BOY. CHAMPION HIGH
JUMPER OF THE WORLD,
WANTS TO BE ALDERMAN
IN CHICAGO. W..

Harry Porter. well known in this
city as an athlete and also for his
stirring speeches in the municipal
campaign of 1903, has gone into pol
itics in Chicago. The Chicago Tri-
bune has the following article:
Harry Franklin Porter, who won
the running high jump for the United
don in 1908, has leaped into politics as
a Progressive aldermanic candidate in
the Sixth ward.
Porter cleared the bar at six feet
what was then as new Olympic rec
ord. A week after returning from
abroad he boosted his record at
Bridgeport to six feet six and three
eighths inches. While this establish
ed a new worlds record at the time
it was not allowed on a technica1ity.
to six feet seven inches by George
HORNE of California.
After his success in the Olympic
sports, Porter became an active MEM
ton team and last year, wearing the
Cherry Circle, he won the Central A.
A. U. championship. While at Cor
nell university he was member OF
football team and crew two years,
and in his senior year was an inter-
collegiate point winner.
But Mr.. Porter is not running for
office on his athletic record. He is
an engineer of prominence, a recog-
nized authority on concrete work, and
has written a book on this subject
which is used as a text book at the
University of Wisconsin.
Since 1902 Porter has been following
his profession. He has been associat-
ed with the AIling Construction Co,
with the board Of supervising engin-
GERS, and the Chicago fractions. His
friends in urging his candidacy say
he is qualified to act as an expert in
the city council with Chicago's trac-
ton problems, both surface and sub
way. At present he is consulting ed
itor of a technical MAGAZINE
Mr.. Porter, according to his cam
paign literature began work as a
newsboy and pushed his way through
both school and college, exce1Iing in
athletics as well as in his studies. He

to severe criticism for backing out
of the match with Bombadfer Wells.
600 to box Wells ten round no-de-
cision contest, but the very liberal
offer was refused.
Fighters are certainly coming high
these days. It used to be that a
champion could occasionally dictate
terms, but now everybody's doing 1t.
Anyway, according to Billy Gibson,
the local matchmaker, this particular
fighter comes too high for him, and
he has passed the white heavy
weight champion" up for the pres
ent. Gunboat Smith gets the Wells
match instead.
McCarty's action lis not calculated
According to the dope" he should
have little trouble beating the Eng
| Gshqnan. The Bombardier was beat
en- by PaIzer, who in turn was stop
ped by McCarty. But evidently Luz
ther does not figure that way and
from his refusal of Gibson's offer it
looks as If he is not quite so conf
dent Of his ability to trim Wells as he
processes.
In connection with this heavy
weight mix-up the strange hesitancy
on the part of Jess Willard Is hard
at meeting Wells, 1t was thought that
Willard would substitute for him. In
fact it looked like the chance Of q
lifetime for Willard as his success
meant that McCarty would be forced
by public opinion to. consent to an
Early meeting, which was supposed
to be Jess, chief ambition.
To secure the match Willard would
first be compelled to go through with
the long postponed match with One
sRound Davis at Buffalo. Several
months ago Jess accepted terms from
a Buffalo promoter to box Davis, but
failed to keep the engagement al
though IA short time afterwards he
boxed some novice out in Indiana.
Again referring to the dope we find
that Willard should not anticipate
trouble in a bout with Zone Round. -
Soldier 5Kearns stopped Davis in a
round, and Willard squelcTed Kearns
in eight. But he does not appear
at all anxious to have the embargo
lifted by carrying out the contract
with the Buffalo organization.
Immediately following the. defeat
Of Palzer it was announced that Nc
Carty would meet all ambitious white
heavy-weights as fast as they came
along. Can it be possible that Luz

to the managerial end of the game in
the future. Abe is no longer there

in spite of the Indians splendid con-
dition, he has sore arm, but like a

Robbie worked a long time with
Ferdinand Schupp and Tom Hanley,
who now appear to be two Of the

Schupp twirls with his port paw, and
both he and Hanley have a peculiar
overland delivery, which gets the
ball to the batter before he knows it
is on it's way. Both men have loose
easy motions, and look like good

McGraw lined up what probably will
be his colt team. This team only

Ad Wolgast and Harlem Tommy
Murphy, who are to fight twenty
rounds this afternoon at Coffroth' s
club, finished strenuous training yes
terday. Despite the fact that Wolgast
took on the bout at short notice, he
reigns favorite at 10 to 8.
Murphy weighed 1874 pounds and
Wolgast half a pound less.
There are a number of wise follow
ers of the game who are sending
their money in on Murphy. Ever
since he first came here the Gotham
boy has been very fortunate. Then,
again, they remember that Murphy
gave Wolgast a severe drubbing when
they met in Pittsburgh two years ago.
Another factor they consider is that
Wolgast has not been taking good
care of himself since he lost the
crown to Richie
Los Angeles, Feb. 22.-Joe Rivers
of Los Angeles and Knockout Brown
of New York are in perfect physical
condition for hard twenty-round
battle at Vernon. a suburb of this city,
