mouth, has rented the place to Rolla
Jones for a term of five years. The
ranch is one of the best hay ranches
for its size in the valley, and consists
of 40 acres. The uncultivated land
will be seeded to alfalfa by Mr.. Jones
this year. Mr.. King has secured an
excellent tenant in Mr.. Jones, and
both are to be congratulated.
When Giovanni de Blasio, weighing
500 pounds died in bridgeport, Conn.
at hospital last week and his kin
insisted that the funeral be held at
the residence, instead of church or
big auditorium, the undertaken had
one fit after another; said it would
upset the dignity of the funeral to
attempt to remove a corpse the size
of Mr.. de Blasio's from the house
in the presence of the funeral guests.
But the kin, insisted and the unoer-
taker hired gang of men, took out
part of the front of the house and
got the remains in the parlor. Then
the day and hour of the funeral ar
rived. The ten pail bearers could not
bulge the remains of Mr.. de Blasio.
Finally the mourners wiped away
their tears, rolled up their sleeves
and proceeded to get the corpse to
its final resting place. 1t took 20
men and five straps to remove the
late de Blasio. The undertaken was
right, the solemnity of the funeral
was spoiled, and the pail bearers were
mad as hornets, declaring that "a
man has no right to make as big a
corpse as this"

Elizabeth Dean, 16-year-old high
school girl in Cambridge, Mass, by
shooting thirty-one consecutive bulls
eyes on a 30O-yard rife range with
regulation army Springfield rife, has
set worlds record for a girl. Miss

uncle, Lieut.. Harry ]. Dugane, Com
pany A. Eighth Massachusetts Regi-
ment, NJ. v. NJ, and without should
er pad, thrice fired the ten shots al
lowed her for each round, and scored
perfect bulls eyes. The thirty-frst
shot was a hit, but on the next she
just touched the ring nearest the
center of the target and thus stopped.
She was surrounded by an admiring
crowd of soldiers and marines who
watched her work.
A human interest story from the
New York Sun: It was a rush hour
on Broadway. A thin, understood
little cat with very tiny scrubby
kitten in its mouth stood on the curb
on the west side of Forty-ffth street,
Apparently she felt the necessity of
crossing the wide thoroughfare.
Twice she started in the trail of ped
estrians, but each time the noises
scared her, and she ran back to safely
on the curb with her small burden.
New York is full of people who see
things. A fair share of them were
watching to find out what the little
cat would do. A third time she tried
to make the crossing only to have her
nerve fail. The traffic policeman saw
the last frightened rush back to the
curb. Instantly he put up his hands.
The traffic both ways ceased. The
din stopped for moment. Reassured,
the little cat darted across the thor
oughfare. There was no sound until
she had reached the curb, far across
on the east side An audible sigh of
relief from the crowd and the traffic
resumed its whirring ways.

NATURE AND FEMALES.-Stev-
ZEN claims that it is against nature
and natural laws to prevent a female
breeding without a license. If it can
be shown that nature sometimes pre-
vents such breeding, then it follows
that she is not against such a prac-
tice, as nature can't be said to be
against herself. Take trees, especi-
ally in the city. They produce mil
lions of seed which are blown every
where and in a great many instances
not. one seed takes root to produce a
new tree. 1t is said by biologists that
if all the eggs Goldfish lay should pro-
dUce young Goldfish the ocean would
be stocked so full of fish that you
couldn't get a boat through the wa
ter. Nature prevents countless fe-
males from reproduction; makes
thousands of barren females each
year. She kills every year billions of
females, thus preventing them from
even living, much less breeding.
AS to the claim that there is a ma
turaI law that a female should breedA
There is no such law in existence. A
statutory law does prevent some fe-
males from breeding. This proves
that breeding is not a natural law

was coming toward the earth by at

could do wouldn't have any effect

Stevens female should breed, she
would breed anyway, statutory or no

Stevens female didn't breed proves
concIusively that there is no natural

MICHELIN TIRE HINTS

c. P. Measner. who is a great boost
er locally for Michelin tires SAYS that:
The wheel of a car should always run
exactly parallel. Anything which pre-
vents this will cause tire trouble. Too
much play in the axle-end bearings, too
great freedom in the steering joints or
possibly bent spindle or axle-end in
variably exacts the penalty. Brakes
too, when they are out of order, dam
age tires. For example. if only enc OF
the back wheels locks when applying
the brakes, the tire on the slipping
wheel will surely be injured.
Another kind of tire trouble arises
from weakened springs. Every time
the car iolts badly, the upper part OF
the tire rubs against the mudguard anG
as a result the casing is damaged.

or overfilled tanks, should not be per.

ARGENTINE DEMAND
IS FOR GOOD FAITH
Aires Understand They Must Make
Good or Get No Dough
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1


NEW YORK. June 1O.-The boxers
WHO will make the trip from this coun-
try to Argentina to compete in series
of bouts in Buenos Aires will find
conditions governing the contests there
considerably different from those eX-
listing in North American rings. Ac-
cording to the regulations, which are
to be made part of tie contracts the
pugilists will not receive the sums
stipulated in their arrangements I'M
less the spectators are thoroughly sat
isfied with the contests.
While boxing is still far from an es-
tablished institution in Buenos Aires,
the city authorities have certain ideas
regarding the conduct CT the sport,
one of which is that the pugilists must
give the spectators their moneys
worth. AS a result the principals are
never paid until those who purchased
tickets have signified that they are
satisfied with the exhibition. This has
been made clear to the boxers who will
shortly start for Argentina, by the ex-
PLANTATION that if the spectators are
not plea sed with the efforts of. the
puglllStS their money is returned TO
them before they leave their seats and
the contestants get nothing.
In the party will be four negro
heavyweights, Sam McVey. Joe Jean
nctte, Sam Langford. and Harry Wills
and the understanding is that they
will box round-robin tournament for
! the negro championship of the world
under these conditions. The men will
be drawn by lot for the battles, the
two winners to meet in a semi final
and the losers to meet for third place.
All the bouts will be twenty round
, contests with a referees decision if
they go the limit. These bouts will be
fought during July and August and be-
fore the completion of the tournament
| it is expected that arrangements will
have been made with Jack Johnson to
box the winner for the negro title

Battery toyed with A through nine
