Ferguson. the Philadelphia boy, at the
Ardmore show on Monday night.
Ferguson worked his head off DUR

the old kayo tally. Lowe had gained
a knock down over Danny in the early
rounds of the milling and il was up
to the .Ducking Quaker" to score in
the same manner to even up the count
In his extra endeavor Ferguson
fought himself out and Lowe came out
OF his corner displaying a wonderful
burst of speed which would have done
credit to any of the veteran ring gem
erals in the country. After less than
a minute milling Tommy had hung
the old one two count on Danny who
slipped to the floor for count OF
nine. But Joe Ferguson, who was act

corner, threw water on the "Ducking
Quaker" reviving him and bringing
him back to his feet in condition

Greeted With Ha! Ha!
1T Can't Be Done" Is Atti-
tude Fans Take at News Of
Boxing in District.
PROMOTERS CONFIDENT

1t can't be done.
This is the line of applause handed E.
Lawrence Phillips, the worlds greatest
announcer. when he told the fight fans
at the Ardmore show on Monday even
ing OF the intention OF ilolding real
live boxing show at Convention Hall on
April Q. when Tommy Lowe, the local
veteran lightweight. is slated to meet
Willie Beecher, the smuggling wonder
from New York. over a ten-round route
in the main attraction.
The further Phillips went in his an
nouncement the more the fans at the
ringside greeted the news with 1T can't
be done" Although this is the attitude
taken by the local fight fans trio of
well-known fight promoters seem to
think differently and have already COM
pleted plans by signing Bob Fitzsimmons
and his son for siX-round exhibition in
the seIni-windup.
This trio of fight promoters are Maurice
Vogel and Martin West. who have
handled fights in and around New York
city, and Joe Freeman. of Chippewa
Falls. Mass. make up the combination
who claim TO have put across about the
biggest deal in the line of sports that
has taken place in the District in num-
Dor of years.
The promoters of this new step in the
sporting world of this city Will have but
very little to say in the way and from
which they used in putting across this
deal. but from their confidence and plans
which they have made everything Is all
right and has the o. X. of the big officials

NOT so MUCH WHEAT PLANTED

Flasher, N D., June 30.-The far.
mers of this section have gone heavi.
ly into corn and alfalfa and livestock,
especially into hog raising. The wheat
acreage is being reduced and more
attention is being paid to the other
crops. This section is famous for the
excellence of it's corn, the cereal hav-
ing been grown here by the Mandan
Indians for centuries.
The farmers who are more espe-
cially interested in hog raising have
recently adopted a slogan. It is:
Raise more hogs, to buy more land,
to raise more corn, to feed more hogs,
to buy more land" The slogan has
met with great approval and is being
heartily endorsed by those interested
and the principles are being followed
out.

A great many persons have asked
me how nation like Germany with a
colossal and hourly mounting debt,
with no foreign commerce and little
business outside of war, can finance
herself and these enormous operations,
costing between seven and eight mil.
lion dollars day. go,
We used to think that there could be
no more wars because the cost would
be prohibitive; the financiers would
never lend the money to carry them
on. Behold one more deception gone
glimmering. The financiers have alb
solutely nothing to do with it. Ger
many finances her war on paper mon
ey passing absolutely at par, backed
by all the credit of the empire, all its
resources and all its people, and as
good as gold. So far as anyone can see
now she can continue to finance he1
war in the same way Indefinitely.
She is piling up an almost incon
ceivable debt, but so is everybody else
in this insane conflict, and she has in
the debt and credit fight one great adj
vantage. She already owns all her
railroads and has them paid for; she
owns lot of her mines and has them
paid for; a lot of her banking and her
other business and has all paid for
That is different, you see!
