sng on July 81, 1917 the question has
been raised as TO why II became nee
sssary to raise this additional money,
and ! thought ] would try to explain
why, as best ! can. In the first place,
the price of material has gone up
since we first voted the $780, 900 bonds,
and prices are going up now every
1ay. Then there were requirements
from the state board Of health and
the state board OF buildings that we
did not know OF till we got started.
One was a we'll OF 500 gallons per
hour capacity Our present well was
only a little better than 100 gallons.
We had to have a new well; this is
now drilling. Then the state board

err $4,000 additional. for drain and
squipping the drain. This $40 900 is
only a small item when we think of
completing a much needed school in

progressive citizen will be against
raising this additional amount or
vote against II at this meeting. ]
urge that all attend this annual meet
ing and let the vote be as large for
the bonds as is possible. as this gives

WHEAT MARKET
HIGHER TODAY

Chicago, ILL.,, July Is. - Wheat:
Market higher. Pacific coast news is
unfayorable. The situation remains
clouded by the uncertainty of Wash
ington developments and there is no
inducement for trade at present.
Corn: There has been considerable
profit taking on the advances this
morning. but the general tone has
been strong and the market strength
ened after the early trading. Crop
news was a little, more favorable with
some rains in the southwest, but with
cash prices so high and the final out
come of the crop still doubtful. there
Is no pressure on futures sid the
market becomes easily oversold.
There is nothing to indicate any in
crease in farm deliveries of corn and
foreign demands continue good. The
situation is strong in view of the
general condition.
Oats: General tone of the oats mar
ket was firm. The cash demand Is
good with prices in the sample crowd
at substantial premiums while stocks
of old oats are rapidly being consum-
ed. On the other hand, from now on
the increasing pressure of new oats
will be felt and on this account senti-
ment is mixed, the bulls relying main
ly on the relative cheapness of prices.
Indications are for fair price swings.
Provisions: Foreign indications do
not suggest early peace and with en-
bargoes on shipments to neutrals the
buying on peace talk has been pre-
mature, resulting in liquidation and
lower prices.

with Sam being knocked fiat by q.

would not bear out the reports of the

1t seems that it will be necessary
for Fulton to beat a man to pulp
before some of them will recognize,
him as a real fighter.
He was accused of being yellow,
but got up out of a sick bed in New
Orleans, after going down in weight
from 2lO to 184, and fought Porxy

they did not seem satisfied. Fred

The defeat of Sam Langford, the
tar baby" by Fred Fulton, the
Rochester giant, in Boston recently,
came as a surprise to some OF the
boxing fans. But really, there should
have been no surprise, for Sam is a
veteran at the game now, while Full
ton is young man with great
strength and considerable cleverness.
Langford was not the Sam OF rev
years ago, when he was considered
by many the master even of Jack
Johnson, without half training, to
hold his own against any neavy-
weight in twelve round pout.
Sam has been accused of not train
ing at all for the match, but this is
not correct, for he worked every day
with Len Rowlands, the Milwaukee
middleweight, in the Arcade gym
nasium in this city, for two weeks
before the match. OF course he
could not reduce safely in such a
short time, and reducing too quickly
no doubt hurt him, leaving Sam
without the recuperative powers that
he formerly had.
The star baby doubtless figured
on boxing Fulton. but the latter kept

optic and mid section at will, with
the result that at the end of the
sixth round the negro knew he was
all in, and rather than take a knock
out he quit; or, in other words, he
threw up the sponge.
In proper condition Langford
would no doubt have given Fulton a
much harder battle. but 1t is the old
case over and over again. He took a
chance and found he was not there.
Efforts have been made by some to
beIittle F'uIton's victory, even to
claiming that Langford laid down.
There was no reason for Langford
to do anything Of the kind, for IL ne
intended doing that kind Of work he
would no doubt play for big stake,
and also for betting, but, according
to reports, there was absolutely no
betting on the contest, and the re-
ceipts were only fair. II there was
anything OF the kind then both men
should Be punished by the promoters.

the way to the pennant has again
been demonstrated by the figures
compiled from the various averages
and records available at the halfway
mark in the present big league con-
tests. When the turning mark was
reached on July neither leading club
in the National or American leagues
was among the first three in total
number of runs or hits made but this
mark of a finished offensive was more
than counter balanced by the strong
defensive game played by the league
leaders.
In the National league the Chicago
club was first in runs with Cincin-
natl second and Philadelphia third.
Chicago was second in total number
of hits reversing places with Cincin-
natl in this respect. while st. Louis
was third. This strong offense Of the
two western clubs was offset, how
ever, by weakness in defense. Chi
cago was first in error making; had
