WORLD OF SPORTS
Good Boxing Card for Friday. Jan. 20

Matchmaker Peter Demers has pre- pared the finest card of the season for his next boxing exhibition which will be held in Foresters' hall, Friday, Jan. 18th. A glance at the performers will be evidence of the importance of this meet.
 In the first bout couple of local boys will be seer.
 The second number is a six round affair between Young Weaver of Day vile and Young Lacroix of Putnam. This should prove very even and in. teresting match.
 For the semi final Kid McKenna will be in one corner and Sailor Boulay, U. S. N in the other. It is down for a six round go. Both of these boys nre well known as clever boxers and will assuredly furnish good exhibition.
 For the closing number Battling Bone of Putnam will meet A Swee of Moosup over the six round distance.

This is q fitting climax for we'll bal anced card.
 If the fans want boxing continued 1t is up to them to show 1t by being at the rineside when the gong rings. It takes the long green to stage these ex- hibitions and if il Is not forthcoming of course the final curtain will be rung down on the sport. If there are enough live sports in the city to SUD- port the game it will be continued. It is wholly up to the fans to show whether or not they want the squared circle taken down and put in storage or whether they want the resined sur face rufied up by sidestepping of box ers feet for few more nights during the winter season.

Activity of Russian Women.

AS Russia was the first country
where women were given control over
their inherited property. and as Peuo'
grad has had for some years the larg-
est medical college for women in Eu''
rope, 1t is not strange that women
have taken such an active part in the
military campaigns. In all the revolu'
tionary movements the women stu
dents have been more dangerous per-
haps, to the goz~rnment, than the
men. 1t is believed that the majority
of the women amazons are revolutions
lists and that their military experience
was sought for the opportunity it gave
them to spread their doctrine.

of the second issue at any federal re-
serve bank if presented between No

Conversion of bonds surrendered on
November will be effected as of No
