JESS WILLARD Will
Be HERE IN ROLL
OF COWBOY

Sells-Floto circus, Buffalo Bill Wild
West, Champion Shows of the World,
is to exhibit here on October 21st.
Advertising car number 1 was in the
city this morning and a small army
cf billposters and other advertising
men were busy spreading the glad
news.
Incidentally the definite statement
vas made that Jess Willard, heavy
weight champion Of the world, would
be with the circus. The cowboy cham
pion is to appear in the arena in cow
boy costume, heading the Buffalo Bill
Wild West cowbays. And, despite his
enormous stature, he is credited with
being one of the most daring and ex-
pert rough riders that the West has
produced. Long before he made bid
for the honors and rewards of the fis-
tic arena, he had won prizes and dis
tinction as a roper and rider, and was
considered an exceptionally clever man
in roundup.
In the Sells-Floto circus, Willard
will not pose as "visitor," but will
take an active part in the performance.
Not only will he be introduced in his
original role of cowboy, but in ring
costume he will illustrate with one of
his sparring partners how he won the
championship from Jack Johnson, and
also show some of the punches given
in his last fight at Madison Square
Garden with Frank Moran.
Many other notable attractions will
he with the Sells-Floto circus to &c
toward making up an all-champion
program with this champion shows of
the world.

WORLD'S.CHAMPION
READY TO FIGHT
SOMEBODY

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Jess Willard,
having spent the summer showing
what a great cowboy he is, has an
ncunced that he wants some one to
offer another fortune for his ser
vices as a heavyweight champion. He
wants to fight That is, he says he
wants to fight, and, as Tom Jones
also says Willard wants to fight in
fisticuffs for the benefit of a public
which has been deprived Of Wiliard's
pl essence since he walloped all the as
pirations out of Frank Moran, it
must be admitted the statement car
ries some weight.
Willard made his rash statement on
the far off Pacific Coast and the well
konwn Jones admitted he had been
deluged with an offer of $4,000 fol
Wizards services. The offer, he
said, came from a syndicate at Ever
EFT, Wash.
Jones didn't make known the name
Of the boxer Willard prefers to meet
in his cecond bout since he wrestea
the crown from the kinky locks OF
Jack Johnson But just the same, it's
ar even bet that he didn't mention the
name of Jack Dillon.
Matching Willard with fighter
who has a chance of nicking off the
heavyweight crown is more than ar
everyday task. The fighters in these
United States, the only place where
there are any fighters to speak Of, arc
q sorry lot. OF the whole bunch
there is scarcely one who can claim
Re has a right to challenge Willard
Little Jack Dillon appears to be
the logical opponent for the big west
erner, but Jacks size is against him
He has whipped nearly every heavy
weight who claimed a chance with the
I wering champion, but when promo
ters are sounded on the possibility ot
{. match between Willard and Dillon
they shy.
Dillon is so small, he would have
little opportunity of finding vulner
able spot in the huge champion. The
match would be laughable from thai
standpoint. Yet, Dillon's record shows
he has whipped some mighty big mer
and no one could say he wouldn't
have at least a chance at the crown.
Eliminating Dillon, there isn't {
man who stands out as a possible con
ul error cf Willard. Fred Fulton has
the size and he has been fighting
well. But that doesn't prove he's il
Wizards class. His record isn't long
enough.
Efforts have been made to bring
Willard and Fulton together and al
one time / appeared likely the mattel
would be made, but it fell through.

can stand on the road, ruts will re-
suit and whom these are ground down
dust forms and finally loose roadbed
results.
Keeping the roadbed we'll crowned
and smooth will hold the moisture in
1t SO that it will pack hard.
Weeds must also be kept several
feet from the wheeltrack else they
will draw the moisture from the road
bed and thus loosen it up; this is
especially true in regions of moderate
rainfall.
Trees should not be allowed to
shade the road as this keeps it too
moist on the surface after rains SO
that travel spoils the surface.
The making of a smooth roadbed
requires that when the soil is put on,
it be laid in layers and not in piles.
When dumped in piles some places
will be more packed than others and
there will likely be difference in the
density, while if laid on in layers this
will be avoided. Each layer should
be narrowed, or better yet, disked and
packed before the next one is laid
down. In this way a good roadbed is
secured from the first, while if the
soil is just dumped on the road to be
leveled and packed by the traffic over
the road a good roadbed will never be
secured.
The best tool for keeping the road
well crowned and the surface smooth
Is the splitlog drag. This tool should
be used soon after a rain. The soil
is then loose and easily moved. The
drag moves but small amounts of soil
and smears it on the roadbed in thin
layers which is just what is wanted.
It cuts off any projections and fills
up any low places.
Where there is standing water the
roadbed should be kept at least
foot above the water surface and
eighteen inches is better The nature
of the soil and the length of time that
the water stands along the road will
to degree determine how high the
roadbed must be above the water.
In dry-farming territory 1t is i'm
portant to keep the weeds away from
the roadbed and to keep the roadbed
we'll crowned and smooth.

GOOD ROADS AND MOISTURE
When Soil is Dry it CrumbIes to Dust
and When 1t Contains Too Much
Water II Becomes Mud.

(By W. c. PALMER, North Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
One of the important factors IN
roadmaking is to control the moisture
content of the soil in making up the
roadbed. When the soil is dry it
crumbles to dust and when it contains
too much water it becomes mud.
These are the two extremes to avoid,
To make hard roadbed the soil must
contain a fair amount of moisture.
The control of the moisture requires
that the roadbed be higher in the mid
die and smooth so that water cannot
stand on it but will run off If water

Cookino Eoos,

Eggs should n"vor I've cooked" says
a culinary expert THAT sounds odd.
but it is true They should simply be
CONCEALED with slow heat. Every
where | hear complaints about soufiles
and omelets. They fall or they never
rise. But all that trouble could be
avoided if the cooks only understood
the relation of heat to eggs. The tenn
perature should always be below the
boiling point when eggs come in con-
tact with the water. Then the heat
will gradually penerate the egg. The
result will be creamy mass instead
of hard and tough hump. That is the
main principle in regard to eggs, and
if that Is followed cooks will not he
bewailimg about their fiat omeletS."

The Split-Los Drag.

The split-log drag has contributed
more toward the economic mainte-
nance of the public highways than any
implement of modern usage. 1t does
not require special acts of the legis-
lature, bond issues or expensive edu-
cational campaigns to make it avail
able as usually precedes construction
work. A drag can be built or pur-
chased for $40 and is easily operated
by anyone who can drive a team.
