has caused property owners to dig
down into their pockets in other years.
Next is the question of what to do
with the tin cans and paper which
will be gathered in wagon loads. We
can dump it and throw it away to be
wasted the same as is being done all
over the United States"
But Porter doesn't wish to do this.
Recently all the newspapers and other
big firms have been assailed by drum
mers selling paper balers and most of
them have purchased these balers. 1t
is understood that one of the statesmen
has esta blished a market for baled pa
per that makes the baIing and selling
of waste paper sin Topeka a good
financial proposition.
Porter can see no reason why To-
peka shouldn't go into just such a ven
ture and save and bale the thousands
of tons of paper and tin cans thrown
into the alleys, an absolute loss, every
year. He will propose to the city COM
missioners that large paper balers and
tin can balers be purchased by the city
and that the big power plant at the
city crematory be pressed into service
for that purpose. Meantime, Porter
intends to investigate the plan, inquire
as to the market for baled paper and
tin cans and endeavor to initiate in To-
peka a plan which. if successful in To-
peka, may be copied by other cities
anu dlo materially III cutting the paper
shortage.
Topeka has four concerns now
which collect and pay for waste paper.
The principal firm in this business
here is the Pioneer Waste Paper
company, l.. T. Seller, the founder of
the first place of this sort here He
employs a dozen people sorting and
baling. Before he began business
merchants paid for hauling away
waste Now they get money from
Seller for it.

Is Gardner to be Made?

Lieut.. Gov. o. Max Gardner is to
deliver the commencement address at
the closing of the Lumberton graded
and high school Friday Of this week,
as has been stated in The Robson
ian.. He delivered the commencement
address at Buie's Creek last Thurs
day, and commenting upon his going
to that place the Raleigh correspond
ent of the Greensboro Daily News:
Governor Gardner goes to the tai
ismanic place. In asking him there
Professor Campbell reminded linn
that in 1887 Josephus Daniels was the
orator and we made him secretary
of the navy About 1898 or there
abouts Chas. B. Aycock was the
speaker and he became Governor. A
year or so later Rober B. Glenn was
chosen for the big address and Glenn
was made Governor. Yet later Kitch-
in came and Kitchin conquered. The
noted school then invited Craig and
Craig responded. Finally Beckett was
the commencement orator and Beckett
is on the throne. we shall try to
treat you no worse than the others,
the head of the school wrote Mr..
Gardner.
"Mr. Gardner is performing ante
gubernatorial functions more like his
distinguished predecessors than even
Beckett did. Nobody is hearing about
it but his list of speeches printed
right now would be one of the most
interesting pieces of reading matter
picked up since the election. He goes
when he can and it will be a funny
kind of county that hasn't had a for
NAL introduction to him before the
campaign gets on"

FULTON SCORES KAYO
OVER GUNNER SMITH
Seconds Throw Up Sponge in
Seventh; Almost Out in
Fourth.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov 27.-Fred
Fulton, Minnesota heavyweight, won
technical knockout over Gunboat
Smith In the seventh round OF their
scheduled ten-round fight here to-
night when Smiths seconds tossed In
a sponge to save him from further
punishment.
In the first two rounds Smith was
q willing mixer and landed several
effective blows on his opponents face
and head while the crowd jeered at
Fulton's somewhat awkward swings.
Three times IN the third round Full
ton worked his man to the ropes and
brought down an avalanche OF swings
which had Gunboat groggy when the
gong sounded.
Smith flared back for a time in the
fourth round. pecking away az his
opponents face. Then Fulton with
a left swing to the Jaw, and right
to the body, sent Smith to the ropes.
and II looked like the flight was over
when suddenly an iron rod broke, let
ting down the ropes encircling the
rims. The fighters were sent to their
corners and for five minutes great
excitement prevailed while trainers
and promoters tried to make repairs.
The round lasted but two minutes.
For the remainder of the fight
Smith hung ON and the crowd shouted
for action. He was staggering about
blindly when the sponge was tossed in.
While the weight of the men was
not announced, Fulton was said to
have weighed 220 pounds and Smith
1877 pounds.
