BOUT FOR LEONARD.
Benny to Box Burns on Thursday
Night in New York.

New York. July s-Benny Leonard
VIII participate in a bout at the
Arverne Sporting Club on Thursday
night with Frankie Burns. of Cali
fornia, that will be more or less in the
nature OF warm-up canter for the
bout with the Hon. John Kilbane,
which takes place in Philadelphia
thirteen days later.
Leonard is convinced that the proper
way to train for a gentleman of Kill
bane's unquestioned ability Is to do a
little actual fighting. Burns is not a
particularly dangerous hitter. but he
Is a speedy youth and will give Ben
1amin quite a busy time, unless he
runs afoul OF a hard tap to the chin.
The great danger so far as Leonard
Is concerned is that he might break
his hand again.

Boxing Helped BY
Approval of War 0Gcials

A big boost for the boxing game
is the fact that military officials
have placed their stamp Of ap-
proval on the pastime.
The reason for this is that box
ing is an. excellent means for put
ting the soldier or sailor In first
class physical condition.
Many of the feints and moves
brought into play in boxing are
used In bayonet drilling. Then.
again. there is a certain amount
of gameness in boxing which as
serts itself when a young man
faces a sturdy foe. The lad who
can do this is sure to give a good
account of himself on the battle
field or on a man O. war.

or about 90 per cent. This il the
greatest In the history Of the county.
as the yearly average attendance
heretofore has been between so AMI
10 per cent. ! might add that we
have a form of compulsory attend
ance in effect this year, which, no
ioubt, is responsible for some of the
unusual increase in daily attendance.
We confidently expect our enroll
ment to reach 10000 during the year.
We also expect to see the average at.
tendance close to 5000.
Schools that had to close by rea.
son of failure in attendance previous
to the building OF good roads now
assist in supporting good consolidate
ed schools, at which the attendance
is splendid.
The four-room school known al
Maple Grove, in the Hurricane dis
'rict, is one of these. 1t supplants
three one-room schools, each OF
which, without exception almost, fall
ed every year to keep up its average.
At present there are but two teach
ers IN the consolidated school. but
they have an enrolment of sixty.
four. with an attendance last month
September, 1879 OF fifty-nfne.

| As indicating the individual benefits
or lowered hauling costs. one teams
Ter found that he would save $500
in hauling 100000 feet of lumber. rs
he would be able to haul 1900 feet
with each two-horse team on the
new roads as compared with 500 feet
on the old roads.
Effect on Schools and Society,
The principal advantage of the i'm
proved roads has so far been to faci-
)itate travel from point to point
and to better school and social
conditions. The postmaster at Big
Stone Gap is authority for the
statement that every family on his
rural delivery routes has either new
home or improved the old one since
the roads were finished. The SAM
tary conditions in the country dis
tricts have improved, and many con-
veniences and comforts are now pro-
vided in farm homes which would
have been considered Injuries when
these homes were partly isolated by
the bad roads.
The following Information showing
The relation of improved roads to the
schools was furnished by James n.
flillman, the superintendent of
schools of Wise county:
At least 40 per cent of the school
population Is in what Is classed as
strictly rural communities. Here the
average daily attendance, az we'll as
The enrolment. has increased by leaps
and bounds since the building of our
roads. For example the enrolment for
he year ending June 80. 1915, was
more than. 900 increase for the
year over any preceding year, The
average daily attendance increased
700, the greatest in the history of
the county.
The past month September 1879
we enrolled in round numbers 5000
pupils. ont of a total school popula-
ton OF 1900, and had an average
daily attendance of more than 5000.

ct s26 per acre in 1911. and Was
sold in 1914 for $50 per acre.
Another tract located on an inn
proved road. and containing 100
acres, one-half of which is cultivated
in grain and fruit, was valued at $50
Ter acre IN 1910. and had increased
n value to 800 per acre in 1918.
Effect OF Improvement ON Traffic.
AS the principal exports OF the
county are coal and coke, for the
transportation OF which there Is an
exceptionally large railroad mileage
n the county. the traff1c conditions
rom tho public-roads standpoint are
not especially striking. The county
does not raise enough vegetables for
"a own consumption. and probably
- per cent OF all the green truck
used in tho towns and mining camps
is shipped in from outside the coun-
y. Not over $4,000 acres IN the en-
tire county are devoted to agricultur-
Al purposes, As nearly as can be as
certaincd. the tonnage hauled over

shown in Table 10.

The tonnage OF farm products
amounts 20 about e.16 ton per acre
for the 10000 acres devoted to agri-
culture.
Based upon information secured
from drivers OF teams 1t was found
that tho average load on the roads
before Improvement was 1900
pounds, with an average haul Of four
miles. Estimating cost OF driver and
two-horse team at $3.50 per day, and
that two trips were made per day, 1t
follows that the cost per ton-mile
was 81 cents. After the roads were
improved. the average load for the
whole improved road system, COM
pristng not only macadam roads. but
graded earth roads as well. was o.

Say Americans In France

Havre, France, June 2.-"My re.
CARDS to Blighty. And say, tell about
a million of the fellows back home to
get Wiggle on and come over here

These were parting words of one
of the thousands of American boys
who have long been in the fighting
thick of the big show here.
Today they are waiting for a mil
lion live-wires like themselves TO
bring the Stars and Stripes across to
back them up in the world cause of
humanity.
Old Glory takes on & brighter glow
than ever when you talk with these
American soldiers disguised as Ca
nadians, and learn how wild they are
to have their own flag over them in
the war on Prussian savagery.
The famous port of Havre sent the
first publicly armed expedition of of
ficers and munitions from France to
help the American cOlonists in their
war for liberty in 1776.
1t seems a most fitting place to
come in 1917 to talk with some of the
American boys who today have been
paying off our debt by fighting to
help France in her present war for
liberty from the Teuton invader.
Havre hasn't forgotten the ties of
friendship that sprang up at that
time.
Havre is simply jammed with men
in khaki from the four corners of the
globe.
