CHANCE FOR OTHERS
TO GET POPULARITY

New York, Dec. 20.-It isn't too late
yet for some other pugilistic champion
10 get in on the wave Of popularity
that seems to be headed toward Jess
Willard. 1t wouldn't be at all out of
alignment II Mike Gibbons or Benny
Leonard were to announce he would
meet anyone as a semi-windup affair
70 the bigger heavyweight title match
land donate his services free.
In the case of Gibbons 1t would re-
quire his willingness to meet Mix e
O'Dowd, the st. Paul youth who
bumped AL Mccoy off the pedestal.
INSTRUcTlNG SOLDIERS.
Gibbous, while recognized as the
best of the middleweights, never has
attained the title of champion. Glib
bons has been earnestly in favor of the
war and has been lending his aid in
anstructing soldiers at Camp Dodge, Ia.
Leonard has expressed his patriotism
more than once and 1t would add to the
attractions Of the card II he and Joe
yelling or Johnny Dundee should
clash as the introduction to the heavy
weight battle.
Either of these brawls would add
tremendously to the drawing power Of
the event and would add thousands of
dollars to the Red Cross fund.

Not Quite Down and Out.

Many a man feels that he is down
and out when as a matter of fact he
still has in him many years of good
service that can be brought out by
proper treatment. Stomach trouble
often makes one Respondent. 1t hits
him where he lives, saps his strength,
and energy and makes him feel like
giving up. Give him a few doses of
Chamberlain's Tablets to improve his
digestion and invigorate his liver and
bowels and in most cases recovery is
prompt and effectual.-AdV. T. TIL. S.

Fight Must Be Limited to 10
Rounds and No Decision
Will Be Given, if Jess Has
His Way About It. Wants
Bout in Big City.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Jess Willard will
box for charity, but not for the cham
pionship.
He made that clear today when he
specified that his proposed million
dollar" Red Cross bout should be linn
tied to ten rounds, with no decision
and no title at stake.
Jess further declared that the fight
should be held in some big city, pre-
ferably Chicago, and should be staged
in a ball park, because Of the large
seating capacity. This would mean
that the match would have to be held
in warm weather.
SUGGESTS A COMMITTEE.
The champ suggested that a COM
mittee of five newspapermen select his
opponent.
If the government will raises Its en-
barge on the Willard-Johnson fight
movies, Jess said he would waive all
his share of the receipts in favor of
the Red Cross.

 FOR TRAVELLERS
Sections to be Wis. ited in Alaska by Tourists are Writ

The Canadian Pacific Railway and Steamship Company recently issued folder containing twelve pages re- lating to the tourist trip along the British Columbia coast to Alaska and return. The folder is issued to their agents in all parts of the world and is for information to be used in answering questions of pros pective tourists about the trip.
 Tho folder is profusely illustrated with views of the ships, their in- terior arrangements ana gives sail ing dates, and information of all kinds in relation to the stopping places
 The folder contains a brief sketch of Juneau and Gastineau Channel which was prepared by F. F. w. Lowlc, general agent for the comp any with headquarters at Juneau, The sketch says:
 Juneau, the capitol of Alaska, as we'll as its largest and most pros pereous city and as far as can be judged now, the one with the bright est future, is located on Gastineau Channel. Here are first class hotels and restaurants. One can go by automobile direct to the face of a glacier. Return trip takes about 8 1-2 hours. On Gastineau Channel close to Juneau are situated three of the largest gold quartz mining plants in the world Two of these, the Alaska Gastincau, which has been operating just over a year, and the Alaska Juneau, now nearing com pletion, are the most modern Quartz mills in existence. When running full blast they will between them be able to handle over 25,OOO tons of ore daily. The Alaska Gastineau mill alone handled a Tew weeks ago record of $500 tons in twenty four hours, although not working to full capacity
 "The third and largest property is the well known Trcadwell mine. IL is worked by the old time stamp method, but plans are now under consideration for the installation Of modern roller mills. All the prop critics referred to are within fifteen minutes ferry ride of Juneau wharfs, the new Alaska Juneau mill being practically in the city of Juneau.
 "Other gold quartz properties are
 n trict for operation on a large scale. !"

War Tank Like Big Iron Beetle
Kenneth Payne in Washington Herald

Like ships officers on the bridge
two of the tanks masters are
perched up forward, peering out
ahead and ooaxing various stunts out
of the beast.
Like Peas in a Pod
The power lurking in Its
ponderous frame was evident when
it first began to indulge in maneu-
vers. While gliding easily over the
straight-away, at every turn it
lurched heavily, exactly like a NAM
moth animal alive with great deal
more strength than it knew what to
do with.
That the try-out might be COM
plete, artificial obstacles had been
prepared, and the tank took them
like a giant iron beetle engaged in
clumsy steeplechase.
1t rammed head-on up the face
of a mound of earth and timbers
(rattling its passengers about like
ing and scrambling to the tune of
various roaring, and finally Chamber
ed after a slip or two right up the
side of the mound and Topped down
on top like q seal scrambling onto
a rock.
After a moments rest it dove off
the other side. giving Mother Earth
and Its passengers q terrlnC jar ana
sma shine everything within reach.
Long passage here deleted by the
-censor0
That's the kind of animal the
tank crews ride into battle.
HclIish Way to Die
| It is no secret that they do not

tank casualties as well as airplane
casualties. I have clambered as one
of a party of correspondents through
dead tanks, battered and ditched

/ What a hellish way TO meet your
] death, in that iron she'll" was the
; universal comment.
IT must be a ghastly fate, and yet
! there are more candidates for ser.
vice in the tanks than can be ac.
commodated
When the full story of the cool
dauntless heroism of the tank mer
| can be told II win rival the greatest
feats accomplished by any branch oi

from the days when the incandescent
lamp was undiscovered, is no rea-
son for supposlng that n tractor
cannot plow a field at midnight as
well as tear up dirt on. rush con-
tracing job on railroad. It's all
question of money and men. The
machinery doesn't need to sleep. All
it needs Is oil and gasoline and at
tention. A big headlight can be
rented with tractor. If the farmers
will loosen up. and buy or hire trac-
tors, they can get the men to plow
the fields on the night trick while
they sleep and dream of three-and-

potatoes.
The country needs the additional
food Pennsylvania can raise, and
one tractor can do a mighty sight
of work, showing no more signs of
fatigue than a thresher or limousine.
