Mysterious Billy Smiths First Important Victory

It was on Dec. IA, 1892, just a quarter of a century ago today, that Mysterious Billy Smith gained his first important victory by defeating Danny Needham in 14 rounds at San Francisco. This victory started Smith on his career toward the worlds welterweight championship. Amos Billy Smith was 0 native of East port, Me, but in San Francisco it was rumored that he was the son of a British nob1eman or an eastern mil
 ionaire, and he thus became known as Mysterious Billy" Needham, a Minneapolis man, was the hero of the second longest battle in ring history, and fought in San Francisco in 1890, with Patsy Kerrigan as his oppon- ent Danny and Patsy battled 100 rounds, lasting six hours and 39 min utes, to a draw. Later he fought Tommy Ryan, of Syracuse, in Min neapolis, and was knocked out in the 18th round of the greatest battle ever staged in the Twin Cities. After whipping Needham, Smith stopped "Shadow' Maher and fought a draw with Tommy West in Portland, Ore, and within a few months became the recognized head of the we1terweight division.

POTATO PRICE
 FALLS, ADVISES
 THE GOVERNMENT

In advising people to buy potatoes now, the United States Food Admin istration today issued the following statement:
 In many cities potatoes are be- coming more plentiful in the markets and prices have dropped quite decid- edly. Early fall purchases were heavy in spite of the advancing prices: for unfavorable reports indicated that wet weather and early freezes might decidedly reduce our anticipated large surplus. and buyers feared that the prices might become still higher.
 Later, though the threatened losses did not prove quite as large as feared, harvesting was. delayed, some frost injury to the crop demanded added time for sorting, and trans portation difficulties held back ship ments of the reduced market stocks, and maintained the high prices. Now, after a more free movement of the potatoes, not intended for storage, and with lessened demand because of the earlier heavy buying, stocks have accumulated and prices fallen.
 "It Is a good time for those whose fall-bought supply Is about exhausted l to renew it, and for others whose eel lars or supply rooms will keep pota- | toes in good condition to buy several bushels. Prices are liable to rise again soon, since shipping problems are daily more difficult to solve and the coming of cold weather will add to the shippers troubles. Potatoes in most markets now show good food value measured by prices hithertc prevailing and in comparison with other wheat substitutes or supple

New York, Dec 14 - Opening: Stocks showed no definite trend at the opening of today's market, the few unimportant advances being bal anced by similar recessions in rail- roads and equipments United States Steel gained a large fraction put soon reacted. Crucible and Lacka- wanna Steels were lower with allied industrials, but Bethlehem Steel gain ed a point. Coppers and specialtles were mainly lower, the active list showing heavier tendencies by the end of the first half hour.

SHAMEFUL DEPRECIATION OF
 LIBERTY BONDS SHOULD STOP

of that character.
 These bonds were bought by peo- pie in time of war when the country needed all the soldiers she could get, and all the money she could possibly obtain.
 That money came, accompanied by sincere devotion and loyalty, to a country in whom her sons and her daughters had implicit faith. The Nation must not permit the faith of her children to be destroyed.
 The government should not allow Liberty Loan bond to wabble up and down on the financial tide of Wall street like a stack of railroad stocks.
 The only way to prevent it is for the National Congress to declare that such bonds are payable at their full face value at any National Bank at any time the purchaser desires to sell such bonds-together with a punitive section punishing anyone who depre- ciates the face value of that bond, either on the Stock Exchange or any, where else.
 The National Banks are the wards of the government. And the government is the people. If the United States government does not see to it that deserving men and women who lent their money get every cent of that money back with interest, whenever they absolutely 1 need that money, it will have left an indelible stain upon the good name, the good faith and the common hon. esty of this nation. Tn fa1kjDo this Ooaffar nvnr with a friend of banking habits, he suggest ed that it could not be done, because the government would be swamped if vast portion of these bonds were to be turned in at one time for collec- tion.
 1 That Is true.
 But no such thing is at all likely to happen.
 | People are not going to get rid of these Liberty Loan Bonds before ma turity, if the government will protect their face value, unless they are real ly in need of the money. And if the government will not pro- tect that face value, and still permits this shameful depreciation to go or unchecked, then the Liberty Loan while blessing in one way, is very likely to prove a nasty scandal in an other.
 Besides it is unthinkabIe that a gov ernment which has done what this government has accomplished hasn't brains enough in its employ or at its disposal to map out definite anG drastic scheme to checkmate these speculators-a plan which, while pro. tecting the face value of the bonds hand guaranteeing full payment tc poor olders if they need the money will also protect the United States Treasury from one vast concerted raid.

hines. In 1909 he was given a trial by the Lowell club of the New Eng land League, but he was too wild to be of any use. The next year Tyler had another try at it, and by that time had gained sufficient control to make himself useful. He wore a Lowell uniform until the latter part Of August, 1910, winning 19 and los- ing 16 games, when he was sold to the Braves. He joined the Boston club at once and pitched four games in the last few weeks of the 1910 season, winning two of them. George was still pretty wild, but he had the goods, and the Braves kept him on the payroll, although it as not until 1913 that he really began to make good. In 1912 Tyler was traded to the Giants at least 40 times-in the ru- nor factory-and he was swapped about the same number of times in the following year. Rube Marquard was the man Boston was to get for hmim, but somehow the trade never came off, and Tyler fingered on in Boston, and became one of the "big three" who pitched the Braves to a pennant.

Sacramento Bee)


 On July 14th The Bee in an editor ial entitled "Uncle Sam Should Pro- tect His Citizen Friends" denounced the gambling in Liberty Bonds al ready inaugurated in Wall Street.
 One day that week bonds of the first Tjberty Loan sold at 99 cents on the dollar.
 That was an imposition upon the loyal citizens who came to the res cue of the government in her hour of need.
 1t was not only that; it was a stain upon the good name and the good faith of the government.
 Poor, as well as rich-poor, even more than rich when the contrasting circumstances are considered-Wlll- ingly and freely, patriotically and self sacrificingly, put their hands ln thelr pockets to loan the government money to tide her over the greatest crisis in her history.
 Following that first Liberty Loan from the citizens, the United States recently received billions more from the purse of patriotism.
 And the spectators in Wall street continued the same old tricks.
 On the New York Stock Exchange, ! of the bonds which cost the compara- /. lively poor people of this nation, SlOo' inc As were quoted the other day al sg7.66 and the 1-2s at $99. ! Tt is no excuse in this matter ana no palliative, and no Justification to declare that the United States VIII pav dollar for dollar for these bonos when they become due.
 A poor washerwoman, for instance had bought a hundred dollar bond circumstances become such that she is forced to sell 1t before many moons have passed and gone. It would be a shameful outrage against that loyal heart if in her poverty and distress she is made to lose any portion ot that which she so periodically ana so seIf-sacrificingly handed over to the government she loves
 Uncle Sam should see to 1t that this depreciation of these bands, stamped with the faith and the credit of loo,- O0O. 900 of people, sold to patriotic and se1f-sacrificing citizens, many ol whom could lily afford the purchase and a very, very large percentage o1 whom today have to pay for them or the installment plan-the government should see to it that these bonds are not made the football of the greed5 Ra1nblers of Wall street
 If the President of the United States through the potent power ol his position, cannot check this thine now, 1t is the duty of Congress to put a stop to it when the National Legis' Iattre meets in December. These bonds should be treated b5 the government differently than mere municipal bonds, or any public paper

ST. PAUL railroad dividends are down
despite greater gross earning. Natur-
ally the stock has tumbled in sympathy
and is quoted about r. All this would
seem to indicate poor management and
the papers hint at the possible retire
ment of President Earling. The mis-
management is obvious when there is
business to be done and the road doesn't
do Tx Is this a fair statement?
1t is we'll known fact that for several
years up to 1916 half the railroads of
the country were threatened with re-
ownership and the other half barely
paid dividends. They were beset on
every hand by hostile legislatures add
ing expense to operation and making it
harder to do business The result has
been that none of the lines have kept
abreast of their needs in requirements
and equipments. The roads have but
one thing to sell and that is transporta-
ton. If not permitted to sell this at a
profit, how can they be expected to
serve the public satisfactorily? The
cost of operation has increased wonder
fully since war times have come. Why
should not their service be worth more?

THE DAIRY RATION
Feeding Tables Hard to Follow on
Account Of Variation of
INGREDIENTS.
National Crop improvement Service. ]

National Crop improvement Service.1
For many years feeders have en-
deavored to use so-called standard
tables showing the theoretical num-
Der of pounds each of so-called di-
gestible protein, fats and carbohy-
drates. These methods are fatally
defective for the following reasons:
First, the tables call for so much
digestible food. If there was such a
thing as digestible food it might fur
nish basis to go by, but digestible
food is really apparently digestible
food, in that it disappears in the body.
Just what use is made of it is not al
ways. clear. Some of it turns into gas,
some is converted into heat, and much
of it is used in the labor of digesting
and handling the food. In the case
of straw and similar material, nearly
all of it's energy is used up in the
labor of digesting it, leaving little or
no net gain. Straw should be re-
turned to the soil. Take two samples
of dried barley grains, each contain
ing the same amount Of digestible
food, and one will give twenty more
therms or heat units than the other
One hundred pounds of digestible
food derived from roughage is about
equal to eighty pounds derived from
grain, so if we add together things
which are unlike, we get no tangible
results. 1t is like adding so many
pounds to so many gallons. So, the
digestible basis of figuring rations is
very inaccurate. The correct way is,
first, to ascertain how much protein
and energy a COW needs to sustain
life and keep weight. You can get
this from your experiment station,
and ascertain how much is necessary
to make one pound Of milk of GER
tain fat test, and then feed her as
much protein and energy as is needed
to maintain her and supply food for
as many pounds of milk as she can
make.
This is a very difficult problem
and few can do it, and we challenge
any two men to tackle the same prob
lem under the same conditions and
arrive at the same result.
We cannot tell unless we try to find
out, that cow will not give more
milk on more feed, or maybe as much
milk on less feed. So feeding is large
ly experimental, as no two cows are
alike.
However, the law of averages will
hold, and the feeder can save all this
trouble and much loss by feeding a
ration which his experiment station
has in most cases made, say three to
four pounds of milk for each pound
of mixed feed.
There is one thing certain. The
more solids and fat in the milk, the
more feed needed per pound of milk
So, a good mixed feed which is prop
erly combined and all the roughage
she will eat will greatly simplify your
feeding problem and very little ex-
perimenting will soon show you how
much concentrates each COW needs to
produce maximum yield.

A Motorcar Race In 1895.

In 1895 a few enthusiastic "horseless
carriage manufacturers decided that
the time was ripe for race. AS we
look back at it now the contest was a
mechanical jest. The vehicles started
bravely and then stopped lamely while
their drivers made repairs. One in
ventor followed his mechanical wonder
with team Of horses. The winner of
the race had averaged the mad speed
of seven and one-half miles an hour.
His engine, carefully tested after the
feverish contest was over, was found
to develop an amazing four horsepower.

Worse and Worse. 1

certain paper which tells how it re-
>ferred to two learned gentlemen as
'bibulous old flies" instead of s'biblo-
philes." Next morning the editor re-
ceived very wrathful protest. In his
correction and apology, however, he
said something about "the learned gen.
tlemen are too fastidious." To the
EDITORS horror the printer again dis
tinguished himself, and the statement
appeared "the learned gentlemen are
two fast idiots"

THE habit of thrift has been so
greatly encouraged in America by the
Liberty Loan Bonds which appealed
strongly to patriotism and at the same
time furnished such splendid oppor-
tunity for saving, that it is believed
that an era of economy and saving has
been we'll begun in this nation. The
American people are now thoroughly
informed in the matter of government
bonds and it seems the consensus of
opinion of authorities on such matters
that the next Liberty Bond issue will
sell more readily than the two billion
dollar issue which has just been
oversubscribed so per cent. Thrift
joins with patriotism and humanity to
make the next bond issue a success.
