Believing that his boxers are
scarcely experienced enough to
enter the P. C. A. A. tournament,
Boxing Instructor Coffman of the
Y. M. c. A. will not enter his
proteges in the contests next
month at the armory.
Some of the association direc-
tors also object to the boxing of
members outside of the class
work. Next year Mr.. Coffman
hopes his boys will have more ex-
perience and that the directors
will see, matters in different
light.

CARPENTER NOT
LIKELY To BOX
JOHNSON

PARIS, Feb. At is not be-
lieved here today that Georges
Carpenter, the French champion
heavyweight of Europe, will ever
meet Jack Johnson, the black.
Carpenter is not yet grown, be-
Ing still under 20 years of age,
and though still growing it will
be several years before he attains
his full weight and solidity. I'm
til then his managers would
scarcely risk bout with the ne
gro fighter. 1t is considered here
as quite likely that Carpenter
may become champion of the
world later, winning from John
sons successor. 1t would be the
first time France ever held such
champion.

FIELDS LOCAL,

There is no probability of a ma
tional newspaper in the United
States" said Don c. Seitz, business
manager of the New York World. in
an address on "The Newspaper Trade
to the students of the school OF
Journalism of Columbia university
''In this day of highly developed pres
cooperation the country paper prints
practically all the news that one finds
in the city paper, and consequently
every paper makes it's appeal to the
reading public on local issues.
THE New York World has the larg
est circulation of any newspaper in
the United States, but the country
proportion is small all bordering ter
ritory. In spite of the large sums OF
money that have been spent to in
crease the circulation in Philadelphia
the people there will buy the local
papers. The World cannot even pene'
trate Trenton, only forty miles from
the city, and in Princeton where there
are so many university students it has
a very small sale. The point is that
the newspaper field is local, and to
make success Of it, the cultivation
must be along local and intensive
lines."F |se,, ,.as .a ~

brief account of Sarah Rector, the Ok

Suddenly she has become the richest
person in the state Of Oklahoma. When
the lands Of the Five Civilized Nations

the tribes, Sarah Rector received as
her allotment tract consisting OF
100 acres a quarter section. Her
father would at that time gladly have
sold the heritage for few hundred
dollars, but paternal government for.

PREVENTING WASTE.

One of the most successful mer'
chants says that unless man is IN.
stinctively saving he will find hlmseil
at a sad disadvantage as store

Stopping the little leaks of waste
Is one of the most essential elements
in the success of merchant. Only a
little margin of waste in the handling
of goods is necessary in order COM
pletely to dissipate the small margin
of profit. leaving the merchant with
only his labor for his pains.
It is impossible to point to single
successful merchant or manufacturer
who has not proper regard for the
value of money and the Importance OF
thrift in all business relations.
Any beginner in business who does
not have this thrift instinct or who
does not acquire the habit, will pc
handicapped just to that extent In
striving toward the goal OF CONNER
cial success.
These are principles that you as an
ambitious employe should take to
heart, because financing yourself sue.

your fitness to handle the financial in
terests of others and to assume great
er responsibilities. A savings bank

TRADING IN THE DARK.

Shares of the thirtythree concerns
into which the old Standard Oil Co..
was divided are not listed on the New
York stock exchange, but there has
been very brisk speculatios in them
outside of the exchange. In this con
nection the Wall Street Journal
observes:
These companies furnish no infor
nation of their operations. So fal
from meeting the listing requirements
of the stock exchange. they do not
even meet the modified demands Of
the curb market The quotations are
shamelessly manipulated. The sales
are not recorded The outside inves
tor or speculator has absolutely nc
means of checking the honesty OF his
brokers. He may have paid ten points
above the real market price for his
stock or sold his stock ten points be-
low it,
We have often criticized the stock
exchange and very likely shall do sc
again: but no critic should overlook
the fundamental point that without
such an institution the abuses attach
ing to trade in securities would be
much greater than they are now We
criticize railroads, but do not wish to
go back to the stagecoach and oxcart
The big stock and commodity eX
changes afford legitimate buyers and
sellers protection at many points they
would be without if the exchanges
were DESTROYED. u
