FRANK GOTCH, WHO MAY GIVE JOB
sTECHER CHANCE AT TITLE

FRANK GOTCH, WHO MAY GIVE JOB
STECHER CHANCE AT TITLE.
these matches, however, resulted the
same-in victory for Gotch and defeat
for the challengers.
All doubt about the class and Won
derful mat prowess of Stecher has
been dispeIled, and this young crap
pier is today receiving serious consid-
Grafton from the worlds champion and
his manager. AS forecasted by many
experts more than a year ago, Stecher
is a real wrestler and no false alarm,
as some mat men figure him. Even
Gotch was fooled in regard to this
young giant from the corn belt
The victories of Stecher have been
impressive and convincing They have
! removed all doubt regarding his native
ability as grappler of unusual PROV
ess.
"Will Gotch emerge from retirement
and battle Stecher?"
| This is a query fired at the writer's
| often in recent weeks. It Is one the
champion alone can answer, but there
| is every reason to believe the title
|
he does the mat fans of America at
last viii see a wonderful match-one
worth travelling miles to watch.
One reason why Gotch probably may
decide to battle Stecher is that he nev.
er met this grappler, who seems to
have the best right to lay claim to the
championship of all the men who have
challenged Gotch in recent years.
Zybsco the elder, a great wrestler
and a wonderfully strong athlete, re
peatedly challenged Gotch two years
ago, but the Humboldt grappler sait
he would not meet any of the ole
timers whom ne had decisively defeat
ed; that he had retired
In the case of Stecher, Gotch faces {
different problem. The champion wa,
1 sincere in his determination to retir,
provided no invading grapplers whom
he had never pinned to the padded can
vas appeared upon the scene from for
eign countries.
: The appearance of Stecher with hi
long string Of uninterrupted successes
however, has put new phase to tn
problem to retire or not to retire for al
, time that confronts the champion.

Wrestling at last has produced an

time, and if the present champion

Stecher undoubtedly one of the great

Naval CuttinQ Tools,

Extraordinary results have been
obtained by the bureau of ordnance
Of the navy department with cutting
tools produced by novel process.
Instead of making the tool from high
cost tool steel, containing the carbon
and other elements In its entire mass,
these tools are made Of soft steel,
easily shaped into the proper form,
and then treated by the so-called "in-
fusion" process, the carbon and other
elements being placed in contact with
the metal in the form of a special pow
der and subjected to a heat treat
ment which causes the soft steel to
become hardened to such a depth as
to convert 1t int cutting material even
superior to the far more costly tool
steel.
Milling cutters made by the infusion
process cut deeper. faster and far
ther than tools made OF the best car
bon tool steel. and fully as well al
cutters made from modern high-speed
tool steel Of far higher cost. The In
fusion process appears superior &c
any hardening process hitherto In use
at the naval gun factory.

Easy to See Parable.

Life insurance companies estimate
that there are from 10000 to 10000
people in this country, beneficiaries Of
policies, who have made no claim for
the money that belongs to them and
whose whereabouts is unknown to the
companies. Every effort is made to
find the heirs of policyholders who
die, but often the attempt is futile.
Wealth running into the millions
awaits the appearance OF claimants
who can make good their title, but,
either through ignorance or indiffer-
ence, no rightful hand is reached to
take 1t. In which is a parable, for
life is full of treasures that may be
had for the mere opening OF the eyes
to see or the expanding OF the heart
to accommodate. and yet thousands
live and die without them.-Exchange

MAN TRIMS A PRIZE HAT
Did II to Prove His Argument About
Superiority Of the Male
Sex.

Mere man has again proved his YER
satility. It was only the other day
that Derwent Till. who, as everybody
in Bayonne knows, is the son OF Will
liam Till, picked up an old old argu-
ment with Mrs. Theodore Bayles, and
declaimed:
"Who build the railroads? Who run
the big corporations and the weather
bureau? Who brings the money home
every Saturday night? Men!"
WELL" retorted Mrs. Bayles, pass
ing over an obvious remark about the
weather bureau, would reply that you
cannot trim a hat"
And that is how the other night, un.
der the critical eye OF the Ladies' Aid
society of the First Reformed church,
OF which Tills father is the organist,
and Mrs. Bayles' husband the pastor,
the young protagonist Of his sex set
men to prove his contentious, says the
New York Sun.
He proved them, and incidentally
won a prize for a cute little toque
with suffrage ribbons on it, the ribbons
showing that Mr.. Till Is also some
thing of a diplomat.

TWO BEARS IN EVERY FREELY
"eear and Forbsar" Means Peace Not
Only In the Home, but In the
Neighborhood. -

An old saying has 1t that there
should be kept in every family two
bears--"bear and forbear."
Forbearance will often save friend
ships strained almost to breaking. 1t
means peace in the family and be-
tween neighbors. II smooths Zones
way through the hard places in life.
When the angry or impatient words
come rushing to the tongue, forbear
When an irritating thing Is said or
done and your impulse is to resent
ment or retaliation. forbear. To bear
an affront in silence or to turn It of
as though none were intended has
prevented many a quarrel.
OF course there Ia another proverb
that says there is a point where for
bearance ceases to be virtue. And
as in most proverbs there is truth in
this, too. It means that habitually
putting up with every affront, know
ing no point at which to resent at
tacks, is simply to invite insult and
injury. There is time when resent
ment has its place, but there Is never
a time for revenge.
Forbearance Is the better motto.
There Is less danger of our being too
meek than too quick to take up the
quarrel.-Milwaukee Journal.

DR.. F. s. Harris, head of the De-
partment of Agronomy, has Just re-
turned from a trip to California where
he went to attend an Interstate Ce-
real conference called by the U. s.
government and Experiment Station
directors This is the first of these
conferences to be held. The object
of them, DR.. Harris reports, is to
promote a better understanding OF
all research and production. Many
millers and grain dealers, as well as
agronomists, Psychologists, chemists,
and entomologists, were In attend
ance. DR.. Harris read paper TO the
Conference on "The Effect Of Various
Alkali Salts on the Growth OF Ce-
reals" Much good was derived from
professional papers and discussions
in bringing together a mass OF facts
about cereal production and by ere
ating a better understanding among
the farmers, grain dealers and mill
ers.
DR.. Harris emphasized the great
OF the work begun. Utah
farmers with their large areas Of
dry farm lands should keep In touch
with the progress of this movement
for by and through 1t great good
should come. Utah farmers are en-
titled to every good thing possible
and should be well represented at the
next Conference which will be held
at Minneapolis a year from the com.
ing July.
