WILLARD TRAINING
FOR COMING BOUT
Champion Refuses to Let Public
Know His Weight Until The
Day Of Fight.

Chicago, Feb. 10.-"How much vii
You weigh when you fight Franz
Moran?"
This was one of the many ques
tons asked Heavyweight Champion
Jess Willard after he had finished
the hardest days training he has yet
taken for the approaching match in
the Chicago gymnasium Of the Chica-
so Athletic association yesterday.
'l'll tell you the day of the fight
he replied. That's about all l know
about it,
The champ realizes that he must
take off lot of weight before he will
be fit to battle Moran, Judging by the
way he worked yesterday. Just how
much he notches right now no one ex-
cept Willard and possibly Manager
Tom Jones knows, but it is known
that he expects to reduce to some
where in the neighborhood of 24O
pounds for the battle. One guess
which seems to be about right is that
Willard will have to shed at least %
pounds.
Wizards own statement leads one
to believe that he is not certain of
accomplishing the reduction feat he
has marked out for himself.

in connection with the International
Athletic tournament conducted by the
Amateur Athletic Federation of Cook
county. according to "a report receiv-
ed here today. @i'i1 hf"@"
The account, which contains results
OF the different meets, the first to be
received from any foreign country,
represented in the world meet shows
some interesting figures made by the
natives in the prescribed track events

pared with American records, the
marks prove that native athletes in
the islands have not been asleep, but
have made considerable progress in
track sports in the last year.
AS previously announced, the world
meet was conducted by means Of
George A. Sellars universal athletic

WEST VIRGINIA TO
BLOOM BRILLIANTLY
SUFFRAGE GARDEN IDEA MOST
POPULAR STUNT EVER AD-
vANCED IN CAMPAIGN.

That West Virginia will soon be
one great garden of yellow flowers is
made evident by the large number
of orders that are being received daiIy
at state suffrage headquarters IN MOT
gantown for the seed packets. Inc
suffrage garden idea has become
the most popular fad that has been
sprung in the state in many years.
There is always desire on the part
of every American to show their col
ors and when the state committee
adopted yellow as the distinctive col
or of the movement it was only nat
ural that this should at once become
the most favored hue of the year.
For a short time there was fear
that the great demand for the seeds
of yellow flowers would corner the
market. Owing to the great war In
Europe that source OF supply was cut
off. But the seedsmen who have pro-
vided the packets for the West Vir-
ginia committee rounded up a large
proportion of the visible supply in
the United States and the result is
an abundance for the needs Of this
state.
With many hundreds Of seed pack
cts on hand the committee expects
to be able to supply the demand. The
seeds will be shipped out as rapidly
as possible after the orders are re-
ceived. In order that there may be
no possibility Of shortage 1t is the
wish of the state officers that orders
be sent to state headquarters at Nor.
gantown at the earliest moment If
this is done there will be no chance
of disappointment.
The flowers which the suffrage COM
mittee has selected are yellow pop
pies, calliopsis, calendula, zinnia, yell
low snapdragon and yellow chrysan.

He Got the Cheapest.

Old Hiram Plnchon was a born
trader and a penny plncher besides.
He was never willing to pay the price
Of anything he wanted, and ali the
shopkeepers at the village dreaded to
see him enter their stores.
One day be did a little trading at
Nelson's shoe store he tried on a
dozen pairs of boots, but could find
nothing that was not too expensive
Then he guessed he would get a pair
Of rubbers. He rejected a pair that
cost a dollar and another that cost
65 cents. Finally the clerk brought
him q pair for 90 cents. They seemed
to ct well enough. but Hiram was
still dissatisfied.
"Hain't We got any rubbers that are
cheaper2" he asked.
"NO, sir" declared the lrritated clerk.
1--WE haven't. That pair you've got on
is the cheapest poorest, most no ac-
count rubber there is nader
So Hiram bought them. - Youths

One Of Uncle Sans Machines That
Does Wonderful Work.
A machine known as the United
States tide predicting machine No. 2
and which Is In daily operation In the
United States geodetic survey at Wash.
lngton. makes mathematical calcula-
tions which would otherwise require
100 persons TO do.
It's work Is nothing less than the pre-
dieting OF the times and heights Of
high and low tides a year in advance.
It's mechanism is of brass and steel. Its
house a huge mahogany aud glass case
and its tender one observer. who turns
a crank and copies off on paper the
reading of several dials and later re
moves from the machine a roll of paper
on which is plotted the tidal curve for
the particular spot along the coast the
tides of which have been predicted.
Every year the United States issues
a book of tide tables, primarily for the
use of its navy and. secondly. for the
use of all who go down to the sea in
ships. This book Of tide tables gives
the time to the minute and the height
OF the nearest tenth of q foot of every
high and low tide during the year for
seventy of the world seaports, and by
means of an auxiliary table the same
