Papers Call 1t Draw.

Chicago, Ill, Nov. 1.-THE folly OF
a law which permits 10-round prize
fights and at the same time prohibits
decision by referee has been dem
onstrated again in the case of Freddie
Welsh versus Charlie White ''for the
lightweight championship of the
world" in Milwaukee Monday night.
Had Referee George Duffy-selected
after much excitement and rag-chew-
ing-been allowed to render a decis-
ion in the Welsh-White affair Chica-
COS lightweight sensation today
would be undisputed champion of the
world.
Instead, White now is the center of
a storm of discussion, not to say ill
feeling. Everybody present a: the
fight had an opinion on the relative
merits of the two men, and in the alb
sence of an official ruling by the ref
cree one mans opinion is as good as
another's.
However, there is one certainty.
BY no stretch of anybody's magma
ton could Freddie Welsh be declared
the winner. To give him draw is
to stretch justice. To say he whip
ped White is an absurdity.
iWelsh's work in the ring against
White was the saddest exhibition any
champion has shown in years. In the
first place, he had everything in his
favor. He had forced White to yield
on the question of weights, and in an
argument over the referee had driven
home the important point that he was
the greatest man in the ring in his
class.
Waeers Unsettled.
Because decisions are not allowed
by the referee under the Wisconsin
law which governs boxing contests,
the verdict given by pugilistic writers
for newspapers are accepted in their
stead. Wagers usually are decided by
the favori:e paper of the bettors. On
account of the variance of opinion
among boxing experts, the decisions

MOLINE HAS EDGE
IN COMP ARIS0NS
Has Won Five of Games Played
With Rock Island Since
1899.
FOUR OF THEM END IN TIE
In II Years Pillow City Boys Have
Scored 1875 Points, While Red
and Gold Collected 20.

The Rock Island high school eleven
must win from Moline Saturday TO
even up old scores. In tabulating the
results of the games between Rock
Island and Moline since 1899 1t is
found Moline has won five. Rock Is
land four and four have ended in a
this season the score will be even.
Moline has scored 135 points on
Rock Island and the Islanders have
scored just 20 on the maroon and
white squad. The worst beating adj
ministered the local eleven was in 1907
when the state championship team
from Moline walloped the Islanders
by a count of Al to 0.
The Pillow City eleven also has an
edge on the comparative records this
season, having rolled up a healthy
count of 254 to their opponents %.
The Islanders have scored 243 to their
opponents 40. Moline has not met de-
feat this season, willis Rock Island has
dropped two, one to Rockford and one
TO Davenport.
Rockford games Rock Island met a
much stronger team than Moline did,
as three of the upstate stars were out
of the Moline game. Rock Island beat
Aledo 76 TO O. while Moline trimmed
them by a smaller count of 81 to 0.
And, again. Moline won from Mon
mouth by a count of 101 to o. while
Rock Island beat Monmouth 70 to 0.
In the comparison Moline seems to
have a slight advantage. but local fan
dom will not concede them a better
eleven than the red and gold.

DUTIES TO PERFORM
DURING FALL SEASON
If Farmer Has First-CIass AMI
mails for Sale He Should
Advertise Fact.

Many farmers have frst-cIass ami
mails, but buyers do not know it, sim
ply because they never said anything
about it
If you have something good, say so
and let others know what you have.
There are people who will pay what
is right for your best stock and it is
the extra price that adds to the profit
of your farm.
If you raise better stock than 9TH
ers. because you find it more profit
able, go little further and get the
most out of what you have.
Now is the time others are looking
for breeding animals, and if you have
some good ones, they will be very
easily disposed of.
Now is the time to see that all the
crops are well covered. Are there any
leaks in the roof? If so, mend them,
so there viii be no spoiled spots of
feed.
1t is well to go around the pasture
fence and see if there are any places
where the little pigs can get out when
they are turned into the stalk-field.

MANY ADVANTAGES
In FALL PLANTING
Trees Thus Treated Will Often Be
Half-Year Ahead of Those
SoWn in Spring.

There are many advantages in fall
planting of tree, shrub or vine.
Among them is the greater time to
be devoted to thorough preparation Of
the ground; cooler weather to work in
and to handle the stock, and the late
rains to settle the soil about the roots
properly.
The fall planted stock will often be
a half year ahead Of that deferred to
spring, as there is no waiting for the
ground to be prepared or for the re-
covery of the plant from the shock of
removal
The thorough preparation of the soil
by blowing and narrowing is impor-
tant, and should be done, even though
the planting be deferred until spring,
as the action of frost will puIverize
the soil and early rains will settle it
into proper condition for an early
start Of growth next season.

Owner Properly Dealt With.


About this time a little more than
hundred years ago in the history Of
boat building at Pittsburgh and down
river there was much complaint of IN
scTupulous work, which brought great
loss to owners on account of the sink
ing of vessels and ruin OF caTgoes.
An interesting case was tried before
Justice Richardson of Pittsburgh,
whose decision was rendered Noyem-
Der Z, 1907. A boat owned by Mr.
Winchester struck on a rock a few
miles below Pittsburgh, was stove, and
sunk. The owner brought suit against
the master, claiming the disaster was
due to his carelessness. The master
produced a rotten plank that had been
broken by the impact, and claimed
that had it not been for this the ac-
cident would not have happened. The
master was discharged by the justice,
and Winchester had to lose his boat
and several thousand dollars worth OF
merchandise. This and other similar
occurrences led to the appointment CT
inspectors, but not until 1912.

HOW TO IMPROVE LAMB CROP
Practice of Allowing Youngsters to
Run With Mothers Until Breeding
Time Is Objectionable.

Lambs should be weaned when from
four to four and one-half months old.
So says Frank Kleinheinz, shepherd
of the University f1ocks, in answer
to numerous inquiries upon this sub
ject
Many fiockmasters allow the lambs
to run with their mothers until breed
ing time This Mr.. Kleinheinz re
CARDS as very Objectionable for it an
noys the ewes and keeps them in poor
condition. Moreover. at this time the
lambs get but little mix and they
will really do better without it
When taken from their mothers.
the lambs should be put on a piece of
fresh pasture, which will help to
avoid much of the stomach worm
trouble
After weaving time the ewes should
be put on a scant pasture for about
a week in order to dry them up quick
ly. During this period they should be
MIXED a few times to prevent the
udder from caking and as soon as
they are fairly dry they ought to be
placed on good pasture again, where
they will put on flesh and become
strong and vigorous before they are
bred in the fall
Early weaving and good care Of the
ewes after the lambs are taken away
enables the ewes to go into winter
quarters in good condition, thus aid
ing winter feeding and insuring a
large crop of strong lambs in the
spring

By ELMER HENDERSON,

CBy ELMER HENDERSON,
Of recent years there has been a
great deal of agitation over whether
the large type or medium type animal
is the most profitable. The owners
Of the large Stype animals have taken
it for granted that their animals are
as profitable as the medium type per
unit of grain consumed, and arguing
therefrom that, as their animals were
larger and carried more grain to mar
ket, they must be the more profitable.
Such is not necessarily the case.
Let us look at the case from the
beginning, as it were. Suppose we
take the Shropshire as typical of the
medium type of sheep, and the Ok
ford-Hampshire as exemplifying the
larger type We. find by experience on
our own farm that while seven or
eight ShTopshires can be kept on an
acre of land five is all we could pos
sibIy figure on keeping if Oxfords or
Hampshires were kept. Upon this
basis, where man had pasture enough
to keep 40 Shropshires he could keep
only 100 Oxfords, Hampshires or Cots
wOlds
The difference in grain eaten is also
something immense. While we are
feeding our Shropshire ewes only two
thirds pound of oats daily our OK
fords get as much as q pounds daily
almost twice the amount.
The advocates of the larger type of
sheep admit this to be true, but they
say, Our sheep will weigh 80 pounds
at the age yours will weigh Is pounds. -
Let US grant this for the time being.
There is yet another consideration.
While your 100 ewes of the large type
are doing well if they raise 100 lambs,
H. is common and ia lambs per
eve is not unusual in well-handIed
Shropshire f1ocks. One and one-half
lambs per eve may be taken as q
fair average. Our 14O Shropshire ewes
would have produced for us 21O lambs
against the 100 lambs of the larger
type sheep
Then, too, our Shropshire ewes are
such superior mixers and the lambs
such perfect mutton animals that
when they go to market there is No
comparison between the condition OF
the two lots of lambs. While the one
lot is big and rough and not fat
enough, the Shropshires, by virtue OF
| their easy feshing quality, will be
smooth and sleek and will sell foI
