wlssHIhg Bout
For Fourth Of July
WRESTLING Match Between Ed Street
aad Al Wilson TO he u Part
Of the Days Sports.

The committee on sports has been
skirmishing for some special feature
for the Fourth Of July. and at last
has succeeded In obtaining the clas-
siest thing In wrestling matches ever
pulled on In Lehi. The principals will
be Al Wilson and I'D Street. the two
best men In this neck OF the woods.
Wilson Is a little the heavier OF the
two and understands the game thor
oughlys Street Is probably u tr,ac
faster than his opponent and possibly
has more science. Taken altogether,
the two men probably could not be
more evenly matched. Both have had
experience In the game and both are
now intraining. Street taking his daily
try-outs on Kirkham's mat and dolnj,
road work. while Wilson is using AM
erican Fork canyon as his training
quarters and specializing on stunts
that win increase his wind There liz
an old-time jealousy between the two
men. which will be settled on July
Fourth.
Before the regular match there will
be preliminary between young Mel
son and Kid Christofferson, two young
sters who have had considerable
training and give promise OF future
hope. 4.
The two events will be a part OF the
regular sports. They will be free TO
the public and win close the days big
list of sports.

the other weighing 1000. The large
sample was about six feet long and
over three feet wide. 1t will be dressed
at the Midvale stone dressing plant,

NO CHANCE FOR HIM THEN
uniucky Man Realizes That Opportu-
nifty for That Day Had Departed
From Him.

An official OF the St Paul road tells
how when a certain branch in Mime
sofa was in course of construction, its
progress was a matter of great inter-
est to the people of the region. a
farmer who sold provisions to the con-
tractors often reached the place where
the men were at work at meal time.
The work was hard, and when the bell
rang, every man made dash for the
table, and before one could believe it
possible, the food had disappeared.
On one occasion workman, on
his way to the table, tripped over
the root of tree and fell. He lay
quite still, making no attempt to
rise
At this juncture the farmer rushed
up in great concern. The fallen one
ABSURD him that he was not badly
hurt.
Why don't you get up and go to
dinner?"
What's the use?" asked the man
on the ground It's too late now"

ductiveness Of these to the greatest
extent possible is agriculture itself,
and though it is practically feeding
the civilized world, 1t is nevertheless
contrary to the long established natur
al order OF things.
Probably not 5 per cent of the diff
ferent kinds Of insects that inhabit a
farm are Injurious, while many times
IS many are the farmers friends. be-
cause they are engaged in destroying
the pestiferous ones. In fact, the two
prime elements in restraining insects
are their natural enemies and unfavor-
able weather It must be remem-
5ered, however, that weather affects
both friends and foes. Probably many
outbreaks of insects are not due to
weather conditions especially faycr
able to the pests. but rather to those
conditions fatal to their natural enc
mics: relieved OF the restrain exer-
cised by their enemies. the species at
once develop In myriads and destroy

Farmers have aggravated the situa-
ton by leaving uncultivated fields

such fields, along fences or roadsides,
