Encourage diversified farming and

Bankers should loan money on
farms to do livestock farming.
Have the schools in your county
take up the study of products grown

The Germans grew to be a strong
nation because the kaiser and his
subjects demand MADE in Germany

Editor Ell Paso Herald;
note in your columns that the min
listers and a few other citizens are pro-
testing against the Willard-JohnsOn
fight being pulled off. even in a for
eign country, their grounds being most
" that it is "demOralizing to the
youths of Fl Paso.'
Under the law Of reason and the light
of humanity, how and why viii this
fight degrade or demOralize the
young men. or even women?
In my estimation their defence Is
very weak. In the first place, 1t looks
foolish for these people to protest ar
a fight being held in Mexico. How can
they prevent it, In the second place
people throughout the United States DO
not look on FL Paso as playing any part
in the Willard-JohnsOu fight whatever,
other than that Willard is training
there; that I'll PasO is the port to Jua-
req and that El PasO has hotel facilities
for the fight fans.
1t is a well settled fact that the more
enlightened and advanced people look
to prize fighting and gymnasium sports
to develop the physical conditions or
our young men and women, hence our

The Rest Have Been Killed By the War

the Welsh boys admirers would not
hear of defeat and a good bit of money
was invested at the odds of five to two
and two to one. Wilde looked far
from well He looked like a cruiser
against a dreadnought, the muscles on
Lees arms standing out in sharp con-
trast to the Welsh boys comparatively
thin members.
Lee Bored In.
Lee's game was evident from the
first gong Boring in regardless OF
consequences, he gave Wilde few
chances Of making running battle OF
it and brought all his extra weight TO
bear in the clinches and during the
rallies on the ropes. In the first round
Wilde went down from heavy blow on
the back of the neck, but not sufficient
to rob the boy of his senses. Lee
rushed and bored his opponent all
round the ring. taking all Wilde's
punches with disdain. 1t was PLAIN
that the Welsh boy could not, hit heav-
ily enough to hurt Lee and. moreover,
the Scot was proving himself very lit

ribs. Lee was on top Of his opponent
in every round, and though he did not
always secure the majority OF points
the gamblers saw that Wilde must be
beaten for stamina. Every round saw
the Welsh boy getting weaker and
Lee getting more aggressive. The bet
ting had veered round to three to one
on Lee by the 10th round and each sue

Is Finally Beaten Down.
Wilde took an awful lot Of pun
ishment up to the 18th round when
he was beaten to a standstill and, see
ing that the boy could not hold up
much longer his advisers gave in for
him 1t was a plucky exhibition, but
bad match for such a lightly built boy.
His unbeaten record of 90 battles has
been broken, but 1 am certain there
is not a boy in the world who could
beat him at 100 pounds. This is the first
championship won by a Scot since the
institution of the Lonsdale belts IN
1909.

Hap Myers, who first based for
the Brave in 1918, wandered into the
Boston clubhouse in the middle of the
1913 summer wearing a necktie that
had all the colors of the rainbow-and
Is additional ones.
Manager George Stallings, the most
superstitious man in baseball, saw
Myers enter. saw the necktie and near
Iy threw a fit. Then he hustled off
into the presence of owner Jim Gaft-
ney.

gasped Stallings.
You have?" countered Gaffney, who
iinx as was StaIlings. The Braves
were in the throes of a long losing
streak and Gaffney was disguised
with the team.
Yes, I've found it; that Hap Myers
is wearing it. But he's worn it for
the last time"
What is it,"

Stallings went back to the clubhouse.
Myers was there alone. The other
players already were on the field in

Stallings at Myers.

Myers was in uniform within fouv

left the clubhouse when Stallings
nabbed that neclztie, rushed out with
1t and found a street urchin.

Myers. "A darned good one if you
