Was accorded better good fellowship than
here in the City of Brotherly Love, and the
Minneapolist has decided to become 'one of

When TilIman started his career as
fghter-man he went off like shot from
forty-two centimeter. He hit Harry Brown
Leo Stein and Kid Murphy and. respec-
lively, each hit the floor in the third, Sec
ond and fourth rounds. Then he went
along knocking down and winning from all
opponents he had at home. His victories
however were known to Minneapolis fans
ONLY; nobody 100 miles from the city was
aware who Johnny Tillman was.
pecides TO Travel
All boxers want the world to hear of
their great accomplishments, and Johnny
Is one of the mob. So Minneapolis was
left behind and Tillman hied himself to
Duluth, where he won three ffteen-round
bouts, and Johnny was to go on further

Be Canny

Get that canning impulse.
Make your hoe this summer keep
your can opener busy next winter.
Get ready for canning season now.
Regrets are the only things ever
canned in jars you forgot to order.
Can nothing that can be kept without
canning. Dry such vegetables as corn,
string beans, navy beans, mature Lima
beans, okra, etc.
You can brag about your garden all
winter if you have your canned evil
dence on the dinner table.
Concentrate products, especially
soup mixtures, so that each container
will hold as much canned food and as
little water as possible.
Really there is nothing to canning
fruit and vegetables exceptcare, clean
illness, fresh products, jars, and heat.

TO PLAY HOCKEY FROM
SCHOOL MEANS so LOSS

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 13.-Every
time any little boy plays hockey from
school, it costs him SO, according to
G. F. Womrath, business superintend-
ent of schools, in a statement today.
Here's the way he figures it: Average
annual earning capacity of educated
man, $1,000; average earning. capac'
ity of uneducated man, $3.50; LIES
earning capacity, educated man, $780,.
900; uneducated man, $4,000; differ
ence, $4,000; school period for educa'
ton. II years; total days attendance
at school, 2,160. The difference be.
tween the educated and uneducated,
then, is just 2,160 days, which at SO
a day, balances the difference in Nfe's
earning power Of a man.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Jan. 19.-WHEAT-Nervou
ness over dangers to ocean shipping was
plainly manifested in the wheat market
today and sentiment quickly changed in
accordance with rumored developments. In
the absence, however, of any confirmation
of further sinking of merchantmen or of
increased likelihood of the capture of raid
ers, the price changes either way were
not radical. Refusal of the /. {, Z. to
increase storage charges on export grain
seemed to have been anticipated and did
not affect the market. Opening quotations
which ranged with May at $1901e to $19l
and July at S1.54ss, from sc to 1c higher,
were followed by a quick setback TO well
under yesterdays finish and then a re-
covery.
Subsequently pronounced weakness was
shown owing to increased marine insur-
ance rates and because of absence of
indications of any important new export
business. The close was heavy, 11sc to
2s4c net lower, with May at 1.SIss to S1.Ss
and July at S1.52A to $1.52as.
CORN-Corn hardened on account of
scantiness of country offerings. Commits
sion houses, tho, sold on the advance. At
ter opening unchanged to sc higher, the
market underwent a moderate general
sag.
Later the market eased off with wheat.
The close was nervous at A@1sc to NC
net decline
OATS-Oats took the same course as
corn. Trade was fairly large.
PROVISIONS-Higher quotations on
hogs gave strength to provisions. An adj
vance at Liverpool tended also TO aid
the bulls.
