jim FLYNN HAS
A DESIRE TO
Fight
THE PUEBLO FIREMAN LOOKS
FOR A BOUT IN KANSAS
CITY

Kansas City, Aug. 2l.-Jima da Flynn
is getting turbulent these days. If
some roughneck promoter doesn't
give him chance to wallop someone
he says that he is going to enlist in
some combative army and do some
slugging. Flynn is here with dandy
set of boxing gloves, considerable
ambition and healthy appetite. Now,
why not give Jima da Flynn
chance?
There is nothing artistic in the way
jim sells his wares. He will never re-
ceive a Carnegie medal for boxing.
Jim knows all of this and never has
tried to improve himself in the boxing
line. To Jim the cauliflower ear is
the badge of courage and his ruffled
horn only proves that he never tried
TO duck the torrid going. Jim Flynn
has made it possible for the blood
thirsty followers of the game TO get
a run for their money" and if given
a chance he will show them some
more rough stuff.
Flynn has appeared only twice In
Kansas City and on both occasions he
has bffed away to crowded houses
and his mixups with AL Kaufman and
Jack Dillon were the best bouts ever
staged by the Grand Avenue Athletic
club. This Pueblo bear is drawing
card and it is strange that he isn't
used oftener hereabouts. Flynn has
been walloped soundly several times,
but there always is healthy gang
on hand when when he is billed to
perform.
"Half of the gang turns out to see
me killed and the other half to see
sle buried said Flynn this morning.
q guess | am about as unpopular as
a German in Paris, but the box office
receipts show that I am a bear when
it comes to serving the public
Flynn is here nagging at AL Norton,
v Lo also is visitor If AL can't be
to do battle bring on Jack
Dillon or Carl Morris. In fact, If
Norton doesn't like the Flynn ideal
Carl Morris would fit in nicely. There
has been some talk of a Flynn-Norton
match and it would be hummer, ac-
cording to the writer's way of think
ing. Norton is tall and rangy and
possesses a world of speed.

LONGER SCHOOL TERMS

The Youngsters of Las Vegas are
wailing the fact that school Will
.sn for the fall term on August 81.
is Is the first time they have been
led away from their summer vaca
9on at so early a date in severa
ears. To them the information vii
not be comforting. but it is fact that
the general trend in educational cir
cIes is TO reduce the vacation period
to as short a space of time as pos
sible. Doubtless the time will soon
come when the summer vacation will
not exceed one month.
The best educators of the country,
working on the theory that the child's
advancement is more rapid if his at
tention is held constantly than if he
is made to study hard for nine months
and then allowed to run wild for three
months, are inducing boards of edu
cation throughout the country to
lengthen their terms of school work
1t has been discovered that a childs
mind, like that of his father or his
mother, develops best when it is ac-
tive, and that when 1t is given long
periods Of vacation following months
of systematic work it not only fails
TO continue to develop but loses some
of the ground previously gained.
In accordance with this theory,
school terms are being heightened
and the character of the work done is
being altered Relief from the strain
OF book work is given by the intro
dqction of industrial education. Dur
ing the summer months when school
IS in session, work along educational
lines is supplemented by systematic
athletic training, gardening and other
outdoor work that partakes of the
nature of pastime Under the new
system the health of the children, in
stead of being impaired by increased
school work, is declared to be i'm
proved And mothers, who have come
70 dread vacation time because of the
worry of caring for their youngsters
all day, welcome the heightened term
OF school work, which transfers the
responsibility to trained teachers and
physical directors.

BIG HOG MORTALITY

Santa Fe, Aug, 21-Diseases caused
the swine breeders of New Mexico to
lose 1000 hogs last year. The none
tary loss was $4,000. The average
death rate was 21 per 1000 head, while
in the previous year 1t was 27 per
1000, the total loss then having been
1,400 head There are $4,000 hogs in
New Mexico valued at $566,000. In

cal year, the rate being 119 per thou
sand. or almost six times that of New
Mexico.

MASONIC BODIES
TO Meet In
OCTOBER
ALBUQUERQUE WILL BE MECCA
OF THE NEW MEXICO
LODGES

albuquerque. N. NJ, Aug. 21.-Octo-
ber will be marked in Albuquerque
by the greatest assemblages of Ma
sons ever held in New Mexico Every
Masonic body in the state, including
the Eastern Star, the feminine auxil-
iary of the order, will hold state
meetings here.
AS has already been noted, Ballut
Abyad Temple, Mystic Shrine. will
hold a big session here October Z,
at which time III. Noble Fred R.
Smith, imperial potentate; Ill. Noble j..
Putnam Stevens, deputy imperial
potentate; Ill. Noble Henry Neidring-
haus, imperial chief rabban, and Ill.
Noble William S. Brown, imperial
treasurer, and their party will be

There will be a short lull after that
excitement, and then will come Mason
ic week, beginning October 10. On
October 10, 90 and 21 the New Mexico
jurisdiction of the Blue Lodge will be
in session. The Royal Arch Masons
will meet in state session on October
-. The Templar grand lodge meet
ing will be on October 23 and the or
der of the Eastern Star will meet on
October "a.
Masons from all over the state will
attend the meetings. 1t is bit too
early yet for programs of the various
meetings, but it is expected that the
sessions will be the most noteworthy
in the history of Masonry in New Mex
leo.
Ample and hearty doings will mark
the ceremonial session of Balut Abyad
Temple October Z, to which Shriners
from every nook and Granny of the
state are expected to flock The Wis
Il of the imperial officers will make
! it the most important occasion In the
history Of Abyad and the Shrine II
New Mexico and the mobiles will extend
themselves to hit the bullseye at every
shot in the campaign of celebration
and entertainment October falls in
the middle of fair week, far and away
the best possible time for the sort
of shrine session planned.
/ The imperial officers are coming
here on their way from the ceremon
ial Shrine session at the bottom Of
the Grand Canyon. There are mum
ber of local Shriners who would like
to attend that session at the Canyon
bottom, but it falls on an inconvenient
date. The active members of Ballut
Abyad are anxious to be on the jot
in preparing for the session here, ant
to go to the Canyon for the doings
there on the sixth would leave then
no time to help finally line up things
here for the seventh. Indications are
that few, if any, of the local Shriners
will go to the Canyon.

the late Pope Plus X, had died in
Rome shortly after the passing away
of her brother. Shock, caused by the
pontiff's end, was given as the cause.
1t appears today that this report was
the result of telegraphic error, which
occurred in the transmission of a dis
patch from Rome. The pope's sister
is alive, although suffering from
shock. She was already indisposed
when the pontiff was taken ill, and
yesterday was obliged to take to her

FIRST AID TO BARLEY,

#, after the barley seeding is done,
wet weather sets in before the plants
appear on@the surface, a crust will
be formed which the young plant cam
not penetrate. In order. to prevent
the sn1othering Of the young plaut
this crust must be destroyed with a
harrow as soon as the land is dry
enough to do it,. II the ground is in
condition and the barley is up from
two or three inches in helght..siit may
be advisable to roll with a corrugated
roller or use a spike harrow. THIS
has a tendency to retard the main

Police patrolling Maxwell street

him to a station. The crowd followed
and was exhorted by Wishnowsky to
rescue the speaker. After a rough

minutes the police succeeded In drag

For several days bands Of unem-
plOyed garment workers have paraded
the Ghetto district, begging food from
stores. They would then take the
food to hall where it was equally di.
vided. The warm winter weather is
said to have thrown thousands of gar.

OLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEA!

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee,' at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking up a cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
