It's Tango Richie
Now, Because He
Sidesteps Murphy

NEW YORK, Feb 7.-"Tango''
Ritchie is the latest appellation applied
TO the lightweight champion, by reason
Of his frequent sidestepping Of a bout
with Tommy Murphy.
There is huge lump OF suspicion roll
ing among the fistic fans OF California
that Richie is afraid to meet Murphy
NOT physically afraid Of the New
York boxer but afraid to meet him at
ANYTHING like the lightweight poundage.
When Richie fought Ad Wolgast for
the tide he made 1873 pounds This
weight he made al the ringside He de-
Tended the title in battle with Joe
Rivers at 1874 pounds an hour before the
battle. When he agreed to box Murphy
he insisted that the weights should be
1875 pounds an hour before the bout was
scheduled TO take place.
Al glance at this ever-increasing
poundage, the patrons Of boxing now
say that Richie is ike Packey McFar-

too light for a welterwetght

TN a hard-fought contest, the Com

score of 55 to Al.
The game was interesting and ex-

of rough work were detected on either
team and only a few times was the
game delayed by the referee blowing
his whistle for foul. Only eleven
fouls were called during the 40 min
utes of play.
Both teams showed a considerab BILE

with their short passes successfully.
In the first few minutes of play

STORY or LIFE INSURANCE..

Seattle Post lntelligeneer)
The beginning OF life insurance up.
on scientific principles was In 1862
when a company was formed in Lon
don. Lack of information prevented
II from establishing equitable prem.
iums. ON all ages between II and Al
years there was flat charge Of S5O
for twelve months insurance, or APP
proximately threc-fold greater than
the present cost.
The first American company began
business seventy-five years ago.
Its early policies are objects Of
curiosity at this time. They were
clumsy contracts with many anus
ing features. For instance, all rights
hereunder were forfeited If the in
sured moved to the city Of Washing
ton or any town with 10000 inhahi-
tants. or If he travelled west of the
Mississippi river without the written
consent Of the company.
While Of comparatively recent or
gin, life insurance has made ire
mendous strides In American com
panies and societies there are nearly
10000. 600 policies in force, repre-
senting S26,000,000 of insurance. The
resources of one company are nearly
equal to three-fourths of the capital
of all the national banks Another
company has 14,000,0O0 policyhold-
crs-a number equal to one-seventh
of the entire population of the Unit
cd States. Its membership exceeds the
total inhabitants Of twenty-five states.
The 235 old-line life companies Of
America have resources of S4,614,-
coo 600, o sum twice as large as the
combined capital Of all the 29,sal
banks Of the country, with the cap
ital of the Bank of England. Bank of
France the central banks of Russia,

den and the Imperial Bank of Ger

TRUTH ABOUT DRY FARMING.


The history of dry farming in the
United states can be summed up in
one sentence. Good crops have been
raised by dry-farm methods where
the rainfall is around fifteen inches
per year. but good crops are rarely
raised under such conditions"
This means that under experimental
farming. conducted with ample capt
ltal or having outside sources Of in
come. or having funds in the bank to
tide them over the bad years. men
have succeeded in proving the cor
rectness of the theory 1t further
means that the average, nay, the great
majority OF homesteaders in the semi
arid west do not often reap profitable
harvests.
With several years Of unusual rain
fall. settlers are encouraged in the

the United States weather bureau
that the climate is changing They
reap fair harvests in proportion to
their industry and wisdom, immigra-
ton increases. new homesteads are
taken up ana the outlook is promising.
Then do the lean years make famine
ia the land and there is no Joseph
to save the people. Crops fail, stock
starves or is sold for lack of susie
