Ah-Something New.


 Here's a new one! Jess Willard longs to shine as a rival of Tex Rickard. According to Mike Gib- bon's manager, it is Jess who off cred to put up $30,O00 for a Oar cy-Gibbons match. That is, pre- sumably, Jess was to furnish the legal tender, for the offer came from Jess Willard, Jones and Shcr- man. Jess has so much money these days that he forgets where he deposited the last hundred thou sand. Tom Jones, however, is al- ways around ready to remind him.
 Jess has made money enough out of circus stun and boxing since he knocked out Jack Johnson to paper q church with yellowbacks. He has been fighting the Gathering Kid. Money has come his way in nocks. He hasn't sidcstepped q chance. Making money has become so mono tonous that he longs to spend some thing. He has about five motor cars, and any one who can show him bus with a diamond-studded frames and a gold inlaid exhaust pipe can sell him another. Jess idea of a fiTver is car that costs only $1O,OO.
 There may be a deep design in Willard's latest venture. Perhaps he hopes to be so busy promoting that he won't have time to fight Fred Fulton.

Monies Outdo CLOaOns.

The circus clown is numbered. Members of the outdoor showmen's league said so at Chicago recently.
 "Wc just cant get good clowns any morc," said John Warn, pres idcnt of the league. "Wc train them all winter, but they don't seem to be funny We pay 'em $2OO and $500 a week and still they aren't funny. It's a mighty sad situation.
 Other showmcn blamed it all on the motion pictures. The funny men of the screen have copied all the old clown's stunts, they said, and he hasn't anything left with which 10 raise a grin.

DILLON GETS
 FIRST CHANGE
 AT LES DARCY
Jack Substituted for A. Mccoy, WoIgaSt Suffers Breakdown, alexander
 Has Signed Up.

Grant Hugh Brown. boxing pro- morcr in charge of Madison Square Garden, announced definitely last week that Jack Dillon had been substituted for Al Mccoy to meet Les Darcy March ,. Dillon is to receive $IO,OOO for meeting the Australian.
 A late exchange received in Juneau forcasted the match as the following shows:
 Les Darcy's American invasion is by no means proving a path of roses. First off his scheduled vau- deyillc tour of fifteen weeks was a iz2le. He was to have received $2,5OO a week for fifteen weeks, but the barn -storming trip was abandoned in a few weeks, the Australian champion only drawing down $S,OOO.
 Now comes the announcement from Darcy himself that he has torn away from the apronstrings of his manager, E. T. O'Sullivan.
 Incidentally Darcy declares that the match with Mike Gibbons, for which O'Sulliyan signed with a Milwaukee club, was made without his authority and that he won't accept it.
 But it isn't a sure thing that there will be Darcy-McCoy bout, as the Broadway Sporting Club is going to insist that Mccoy first go through with the match with Jack Dillon, which he has twice called off.
 There is talk of Billy Miske box ing Darcy in the Garden if Me- Coy has to box Dillon, which the boxing commission announces he will have to do
 Meanwhile O'Sullivan insists that he is entitled to 25 per cent. of every dollar that Darcy earns in this country.

 Delegates to the Women's Peace Party, who will attend the American Peace Party'c meeting have adopted a platform urging that the government submit the question of war to an ad- visory referendum
 It declared that the United States under no conditions ally itself with any of the belligerents and urges American citizens "as a measure of patriotic duty' not to enter the dan- ger zone.

The Garden in June

The planting of the seed in only
one of the operations involved in the
growing of garden. To have good
garden them, one that all will be
proud of, from now on weeds must
be kept down, frequent civilizations
given, and insect pests controlled.
Don't let the weeds take the garden
this year; kill them Don't let the
soil become too dry conserve the
moisture by cultivating it. Don't let
the insects take the garden; poison
them.
Already insect pests are causing
considerable damage to the smaller
tender plants just coming through the
ground. Haven't you noticed these
little black flea BEETLES, the very
active fellows that jump a consider
able distance when the plants are
disturbed, eating holes in the leaves?
Look for them the next time you go
in the garden. Plan to spray for
them Immediately. Use arsenate of
lead or Paris green with Bordeaux
mixture. Use them in the following
Arsenate of lead (paste 2 lbs, wa
ter so gallons.

Why a Liberty Bond

done. Wouldn't my bonds go down in
value?
| A. The government provides for
this. You can turn your 31s per cent
bond in at par as subscription for a
new bond bearing the higher interest
rate.
@. How is the Liberty Bond paying
3h per cent equal in attraction to
the savings bank paying per cent.
A. It gives absolute security
against loss; interest starts from the
day of investment; it is secure against
future taxation as we'll as present
taxation.
Q. Why should | put my money In
to bonds anyhow?
A. Your brothers are offering their
lives to save the nation from the great
dangers that threaten it. You are only
asked to put your money into a gilt
edged investment that will pay interest
from the day you make it. All you
have in the world you owe to your
country. If you fail to do the little
that is asked can you look your fellow
citizens in the face without shame?
Do your bit to make sure that demo-
carey shall endure in this world.

Keep Business Going
BY JOHN WANAMAkER

we were not at war, in order that We
may have the necessary prosperity to
promote the war to a quick and sue

President Wilson. sounds the key
note in this sentence: 1T is evident
to every thinking man that our indus
tries, on the farm, in the shipyards, in
the mines, in the factories, must be
made more prolific and more effici-

Our industries can be made more
prolific only if the people buy and use
the merchandise produced by our in
dustries. Manufacturing slackens
when business slackens. Manufacture
ing grows in prolific way when bus
mess grows. And business can grow
and remain healthful only when the
people buy and keep money in circula-
ton.
Business is Going-StrOng
Business is going-in the east, the
try is prosperous. Last months in

Banks may wait in their operations
until the government bonds are assim-

in their outfitting to<arrange to meet
the new conditions. But the unloosing
of billions of dollars will unless Il
flow of prosperity absolutely necessary

Government set the pace in their

Individuals must not lag behind.
Seven billions of dollars to pay is
