SIMPLY AMERICANS.

The Bohemians of America of which
there are million or more, have drop
ped the hyphen and foreword that
would connect them with the land of
their origin. This action has just been
taken by the Bohemian National Al
lance, which sent a memorial to Presi-
dent Wilson saying:
I'VE desire to say that we are not
making this declaration as hyphenated
Americans. There are no Bohemian.
Americans. We owe no divided allie
glance and we stand as unit in our
desire to see America as prosperous
and as peaceful as possible"
This war has shown plainly the folly
of supposing there can be hyphenated
Americans, The mere act of adding
the prefix whether it be Irish, German,
French, or what not betrays the fact
that the allegiance to America is not
entire and whole-souled.

CROPS.
If you are raising radishes,
You get a crop in days;
You have to wait successive months
For melons or for maize.
Young fruit trees to reach bearing
Take several years we find.
The time it takes to raise a crop
Depends upon the kind.

In hopes to see them grow
And we are babes enough to think
Our social progress slow!

Heavyweight Champion

Surveys

by George R. Holmes, United Press
Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The recent
and widely heralded announcement by
Jess Willard that he will defend the
title he won from Jack Johnson next
March has brought to light another
situation akin to that of several years
ago when Johnson was in his prime.
And that is that there is no heavy
now looming UP on the pugilstic hori-
zon capable of giving the champion
real championship battle.
Since Willard barred the blacks, It
leaves but seven men who even by
stretching several miles OF points can
be considered contenders OF these,
perhaps Frank Moran of Pittsburgh,
stands the best show, but ring men
consider 1t mighty poor best.
Moran's chief claim to fame is that
he held Johnson off for twenty rounds
and that he knocked out Jim Coffey
In three rounds. There was a suspi-
cious odor to that Johnson affair in
Paris which has never lifted, and his
showing against Coffey, even while he
knocked him out, was not impressive.

also had number OF new plays and
