Some time ago l was persuaded by
myself to collect few baby verses

publisher was found, and old Fon-

Old Fox said he would rather have
cash money than split royalty with

"All right" says I, "I'n pay you

l was broke, or whereabouts. SO the
publisher agreed to pay Old Fox and
take the amount out of my first roy

KILBANE WOULD
BEAT WELSH ny
POINTS OF KAYO.

Danny Dunn, former New

petent boxing critic, wants 10
see the Johnny Kilbane-Freddic
Welsh bout matcrlalise. And
II II does" said Dunn, my
wager goes on Kilbane 10 via
by any means he dicides, kayo
or points, Welsh isn't hard to
hit with right hand. That
was proved in the Johnny
GrIiIiths bout at Akron. Johnny
peppered the champion few
times with his loft. but the only
effective punching he did in that
bout was with his right. Welsh
has a wonderful defense, and
he isn't a mark for oithor left
or a right, hut he is easier to
hit with a right.
"Kilbane would beat Welsh in
a short bout on points and
would put over tho kayo in a
long battle said Dunn.

WELSH WILL NOT
HOLD HIS TITLE
10 MONTHS MORE.

Champion Freddie Welsh has
held the lightweight title little
over two years. The chances
are he won't hold it a third.
II is true that Welsh went
twenty rounds with Charlie
White, and il is also true that
he got the decision. But that
was to be expected. Welsh was
given his choice OF opponents
and he designated White, which
proved in his estimation that
White was less competent than
any OF the challengers.
Even at that White gave him
a run. and proved that the next
good boy that meets Welsh will
trim him. In the thirteenth
round Welsh was all but out
on his feet from the effects OF
the pace and Whites punches.
And he was none too fresh at
the finish, even though he con-
served his energies throughout.

Coach Billy Sullivan, of the

turned recently with the infor-
nation that promising ball play
ers are unusually scarce in the
minor leagues this season.
Sullivan secured the country
from the New England League

make an offer for a single play

catchers were the poorest lot he

Die NOT DECEIVED

Let no one be deceived. The So
called "Home Rule" constitutional
amendment which will be submitted
in November, at the same time as the
State Wide Prohibition amendment
is LIQUOR bill. Its purpose and
effect, il carried, would be to over
throw all the temperance work of the
last twenty years.
By the terms of this so-called
"Home Rule" amendment, instead of
the COUNTY being the UNIT as
now, or the STATE as is proposed in
state wide prohibition, the unit would
be the TOWNSHIP, VILLAGE or
CITY. Everyone knows what the eff
feet would be. Ionia county is now
overwhelmingly dry. 1t might be
that every township, village and city
in the county would Vote to stay dry
ider the smaller unit plan, but it is
)ssible that some township might
eRote wet. If so this township would
be hell hole for everyone of the
four or more townships lying along
the border. Before this deceptive
Home Rule" campaign was waged
in Ohio, the great majority of Ohio
counties were dry. The vets won
there. Not only was state wide pro-
hibition defeated but, by the most
unscruplous lying and trickery, and
J, .he lavish use of money, the whole
lstate. was again placed in the rum
power.
The same kind of fraud and trick
cry is being practiced in Michigan
today. Thousands of names have
been secured to this constitutional
amendment petition on the represen-
ation that it was a Temperance"
: movement. Men are now circulating
petitions for this purpose. They are
not doing it for the love of temper
Asnce, but because they are in sym
iariesy with the saloon and have sold
.otir services to the liquor forces for
SO day to do this dirty work.
Voters of Ionia county, do not be
deceived. The "Home Rule" move
ment is a SALOON movement and
NOTHING ELSE. 1t is the last des-
perate effort of failing cause. Let
us rise in our might and crush it in
November. Let us bury it under an
overwhelming vote for state wide
prohibition and rid our fair state for
ever of the greatest curse of the day.
To sign this "Home Rule" petition or
to vote it. is to vote FOR THE LE-
fALIZED SALOON!

A NatiOn-Wid Campaign for Better
Rural Schools

Introductory-Talk One
(By J. L. McBrien, School Extension
Agent, United States Bureau of
Education, Washington, ID. CO
From the day DIR. p. p. ClaXton, as
sumed his duties as United States
Commissioner of Education, a nation
wide campaign has been waged for
better rural schools. Commissioner
Claxton is now in his fifth year of
service and every year during his adj
ministration he has insisted on adj
vanced steps being taken by the bur-
eau itself for rural school progress,
as well as to urge upon administra-
tive school officers, teachers and pa
irons throughout the nation the i'm
perative necessity for improving the
rural schools.
Secretary Lane Of the Department
of the Interior in his annual report
for 1915 to the President of the Unit
ed States sounds clarion call for a
nationwide campaign for better rural
schools. He urges upon Congress the
appropriation of 100000 for two
or three years, with which to wage
this campaign. For a cabinet officer
to take such a bold stand for the
long-neglected rural school gives
news. hope to the friends of rural
education throughout the country.
In educational opportunity the city
boy and girl have privileges far
superior to those of the farm boy
and farm girl. In funds in length
of term, in equipment, in buildings,
in administration and supervision, in
courses of study, in efficiency of the
teaching force; and in salaries paid,
the superiority of the city schools is
so far above that Of the rural schools
as to make the situation in many sec
tons Of the country deplorable. It
has been so desperate in many in
stances during the past % years,
when contrasted with the splendid OPP
portunities Of the city school. that it
is given more times than any other
reason by fathers and mothers for
moving from the farm to the city.
For, as Secretary Lane declares: Gan
ambitious people will go where educa-
ton can be had for their children.
There is no sense in talking Of the
charms of country life and the inde-
pendence and dignity of producing
from the soil If the school at COM
mand is no more modern than wood
en- plow."
Therefore, let every agency of
State and Nation be organized and
put in motion for the purpose Of CIV
ing the rural schools a square deal.
