4 GREAT COhVENTlOH

A aalf-million children is a good number ant represents a great power when they are right ly directed but this task, is left by many homes to the public and Sunday Schools. There are about that many in the good state of Arkansas who do not go to Sun day School and nearly as many who do not go regularly to day school. The solution of this pro- blem lies with the nation whose greatest character builder is the Sunday School and its workers. The great convention to be held at Warren, April, 13 to 15, is for the purpose of studying these problems that must be met by an educated leadership and this con- vention will offer great oppor- tunities to all the teachers. pas tors and Sunday School workers. No school should fail to send one or more delegates to this conven- tion who will be entertained by the citizens of Warren.
 A number of best speakers from all parts Of the country will be heard including MT. Brown of the International Sunday School Assn. and S Q m e of the best specialists in work with boys and girls.
 There will be a devotional per. iod each day by the Rev. Johr Van Lear D. D. of Little Rock, and special work for the teach. CTS in every department of the school. There will be singing by the whole school and banquets and special conferences every day. Send names of delegates to Arkansas Sunday School As sociation, Masonic Temple, at once with registration f e of $100.

son sent word to his wife that he was "all in" and told her to start for home. She was on the way out and was passing the ring in the twenty-sixth round when a singing left to the body and cyclonic right to the jaw caused Johnson to erump,e or the floor of the ring, where he lay partly outside the ropes un- 'til the referee counted ten ana held up Vii ards hand in token of victory.
 Johnson Not Unconscious.
 There is much discussion to- night and probably will be for a long time among the fol overs of the fighting game as to wheth- CT Johnson really was knocked out. In t h sense of being smashed into unconsciousness he certainly was not put out.
 The consciousness of opinion is that Johnson expected and knew that there was no possibility Of his winning, so when knocked down he chose to take the count rather than rise and stand fur ther punishment.
 Johnson often has said that fighting is a business and he would not fooIishly submit to re peated knockdowns wne n he found he had met his master. \ second or after Jack Welsh the referee, Johnson quickly got up. It was we'll that he did so, for q moment later a rush ot spectators to the fighting plat form aIL but smothered the pug lists.

 The day after tomorrow John- son and little group of friends will sail for Martinique, there to await passage back to France, where Johnson proposes to set tle.down and lead the life of a farmer, raising pigs and chick ems. d There is no doubt that he is through with the ring.
 ! Willard is going back to the United States to win the fortune i denied him today when Johnson got $30, 900 before the fight start ed, Willard taking only a small share of the net receipts. Just what his share was is not known.
 Johnson's Age:Weakens Him
 Today's fight probably has no parallel ini..the history of ring battles. For twenty rounds Johnson punched and pounded Willard at will, but his blows grew. perceptibly less powerful as the ngnt p4 p4ogreSSed, untll al last he seemed unable or unwill- ing 10 go on.
 Johnson stopped leading and for three orsfour rounds the bat tie between the two huge men was little more than a serles of posings.
