J. H. STOLL.


John Henry Stol suddenly passed
February Goth. At the time of his
death Mr.. Stol was guest at the
Central Hotel. His health had been
poor for several years, yet the news of
his death came as shock to the CON-

The deceased was born in Milwau-
kee on November 80, 1858.
On October Is, 1877, he married
Margaret Peterson. In March, 1881
they moved to Springfield, Minnesota,
where he was engaged in farming and
part of the time in business. In 1898
the family came to Raymond, where
they acquired large holdings of, real
estate. During the seventeen years
of residence in this community Mr..
Stoll was honored with many public
Offices. He served for the township,
was member Of the village council
and the chairman of the local Repub-
ican committee.
With his family he left for Texas in
July of 1915 and remained there sew
eral weeks. From there he went to
Marshal, Oklahoma. He bought a
farm near that town; the family is re-
siding there at present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stoll were blessed
with nine children, five of them living:
Arthur, near Priam; Walter, of Min
neapolis; Alfred, George and Elsie
at Marshal, Okla.
Funeral services were held at the
German Lutheran church on Wednes-
day afternoon at one o'clock, Rev. F.
w. Herr officiating.
The remains were shipped for inter-
ment to Marshal, Oklahoma, accom-
panied by Adolph Peterson, Arthur
and Walter Stoll.-Raymond News.

Physicians State That Will
Iard's Condition Is Worse.
Champion May Not Be Able to
Fight Next Month.

Chicago. H.. Feb. 21.-Jess Willard
was ordered to bed by his physicians
Sunday and according to information
given out later he may not be able to
fight Frank Moran at Madison Square
Garden in New York on March 25, to
which date their meeting was post
pointed on account of the condition of
the heavyweight champion.
Willard suffered a relapse on Satur-
day. it was said. and while his physi-
clans do not consider his illness seri-
Gus. they believe it wise for him to
remain in bed until he is well enough
to resume light training. How long
that may be the medical attendants
did not say.
Champion Too Heavy.
New York, Feb. 21.-Jess Willard s
gross tonnage, reported to be some
where in the vicinity of 500 pounds,
was the chief topic of interest in
fight circles today. Jess looks like q
traction magnate with a $150.00O boz
nus when scrutinized about the mid
die, according to reports from Chi
cago not censored by Tom Jones or
his associates. The news evoked
throaty threats from Frank Moran,
heavyweight challenger, and his man
ageT, AlkaH Ike Dorgan, of what will
happen in Madison Square Garden on
March 25 if the bout is staged.
Neither Tex Richard nor any indi-
vidual member of the boxing commits
sion was inclined to regard as serious
the few remaining details OF the COM
ing heavyweight contest which must
be cleared up. The bout will go on if
Willard is in shape, it is said

Lawrence, Kan. Feb. 21.-Coach w.

from Manhattan, where he spent two
days with his basketball team. To-
night he will take his track squad to
Manhattan for the annual K. U.-Aggie
indoor meet, which Coach Hamilton is
convinced will be very close.
Advance dope on the meet is hard to
determine because of the fact that so
many of the Kansas track team MEM

largely on new men. The Aggies in

Sport Wheezes
BY CLUG-
SIXTY-FORTY.

SIXTY-EORTY.
Listen, boys, 1 want to tell You
Something that you all should know
Before you start out in this world
And commence to hoe your row.
When you're out among the Peepul
Don't think every one a friend
Just because they say they like you
And would gladly make a lend"
If they're strangers do not take it.
Altho' thank them just the same.
In this fifty fifty game.
Fore you hitch up with some buddy
Be sure he's the proper Part.
There are some you think are friendly
Who have not Il friendly heart.
Wait until you know for certain
Until he has proved his worth
Until he is just as true blue
As the old friends round the hearth.
Do not jump right in and trust him,
Or it's only you to blame
If you don't get all your fifty
In the fifty fifty game.
Well do | know what I'm talking,
BY it you your way should wend,
For I've played the game before, Boys,
And I've held the forty end
Do not ever get to thinking
To get hooked you are too wise,
You will meet them in your travels
Who can slip it past your eyes.
So be careful when you're choosing
For a fifty-fifty friend
Or it will be sixty forty
And you'll hold the forty end.
Fifty fifty on the level
Is a good square honest shoot.
If you're halvers in the seed time
You should share half Of the fruit
But it works out sixty forty
Very often in the end,
When you go to fifty-fifty
With too quickly a made friend.
So remember what I've told you
If you want to win name
You had better go in shyly
ON the fiftyfifty game.
