stantiy appealed to the referee. Finally
Fulton. fearing that the referee would
not help him out OF his diff1culties.
struck a blow that disabled Norris and
extricated himself from his embarrass-
ing position.
Morris and Fulton met some weeks
later in the West, and reliable witnesses
informed me that Fulton. discouraged
by the rough treatment he received from
Morris. twice tried to leave the ring.
Morris finally was disqualified by the
referee. much to the relief OF Fulton.
Shortly afterward Dempsey and Nor
ris met In Buffalo and Morris used the
same tactics against Dempsey that he
had employed against Fulton. Finally
in the fourth round Morris struck
ralpably foul blow and the referee or
dered the offender out OF the ring.
Hold on. Mr.. Referee" said Demp-
sey, "let Re attend TO this guy"
Dempsey's Method.
The referee had no objection and
Dempsey catapulted into the bulky Nor
r!s and hammered him to a pulp. Nor
rls was 80 weak and Erogey that his
seconds threw in the sponge.
That showed the difference between
Dempsey and Fulton in the matter OF
fighting spirit and !. was on that quail
ity that the battle at Harrison hinged.
Fulton. who is a brilliant boxer. has
terrific punch with his left and a
crushing right uppercut, and when In
the ring with men who do not infiict
severe punishment on him Will fight like
a champion and maui them to fare
you well,
But faced by man who will hurt
and bruise him Fulton loses all his ag-
aressiveness, becomes a lackadaisical
boxer and an easy victim.
In many respects. Fulton strongly re-
sembles Bombardier Wells, the British
champion heavyweight. Wells is
boxer OF the highest class and also a
heavy hitter. With an opponent who
failed to hurt him Wells would score
heavily and effectively. But with
hard hitting adversary Wells lost his
a Knockout.
Knockout No .FIuke.
Fulton's inability to ascribe his quick
Knockout to anything except lucky
punch proves that he Is not nearly so
ingenious as Steve o'Donnell. O'Don-
nell was a gymnasium champion. hav-
ing frequently outpointed Jim Corbett
in private. but as soon as he got into
the ring his fighting spirit oozed out OF
his finger ends. On Christmas after
noon. 1896. Peter Maher knocked O'Don-
nell out in thirty seconds at the Coney
Island A. G., and when I asked Steve
why he had been snuffed out so quickly
nc replied:
THE spalpeen didn't give me time TO
get started"
Those who saw the Fulton D mpsey
affair are well aware that the plasterer
never did get started.

Fulton Did His Best.

Nov that Fulton has been vanquished
many Of those who previous to the bat
tie animated he had chance OF win
stones at the plaRterer. some going so
far az to insnuate that he was not
knocked out and could have arisen, Such
an accusation Is absurd on It's face. for
I. Is incredible that Fulton, who was
regarded as the leading rival OF Cham
pion Willard. would voluntarily have
subjected himself TO the humiliation OF
being knocked out in Is 3-6 seconds by
competitor for the honors. and thus
practically eliminated from the cham
pionship lists.
The heavyweight title is the goal OF
every man In :hs class, as each and all
know that possession OF the champion
ship means fame and fortune.
Therefore II Fulton, by beating
Dempsey, could place himself In line for
cha mpionship battle, II would be idl-
otto for him to fail to Go his best In
bout with Dempsey.
In this column Sunday, July 81, l
wrote this prediction as to the outcome
Of the battle:
rer. Provided the Salt Lake youth is
in good physical condition, he should
nc hicve victory over Fulton.
Dempsey aggressiveness. dynamic
punching and thorough ghmeneSs are the
three qualities that should enable him TO
win. He may not box quite SO skill

Prowers County Only About Five Per
Cent Under Quota for the War
Savings Stamp Drive

While most of the cities of the state
are reporting a failure to meet their
quota in the big drive for The sale Of
War Savings Stamps last week, L.
mar as was to be expected, went yer
the top. This city has never yet fallen
unteers or drafted, or of money either
as donation or loan, or of Red Cross
supplies that has been asked of il since
the war started. Two big Liberty
Loan quotas were oversubscribed, two
big Red Cross and Y. NJ. c. A. and
one Knights of Columbus quotas sent
over tire top, and now the big War
Savings quota is fully met. Prowers
county is right close behind too, on'y
about per cent of its S274,000 quota
to be secured. The campaign of last
week was another big success and
Chairman Christy and his able corps
of assistants throughout the county
have every reason to feel proud of
the work they have done. Most of the
towns of the county are in line witt
their full quotas, and the only places
behind are n few of the school dist
riots which had large qutoas owing to
rich irrigated lands but not very large
home population. Several of these are
far short of their quota. One sur
prising feature was the enthusiastic
and prompt response of the dry lanF
district. Every district in this section
reported early with full quotas. The
first district to bring report of "over
the top" was the 'Northway school
district with Oscar Downing as chair
man. They held meeting as called
by the President and in thirty minutes
were $500 over their quota. Wiley
sent in the second report, and that
prosperous community also had little
trouble in raising all that was asked
Of them and more.
In Lamar there were six booths
each with a corps of six lady and
several men workers, and they ma lie
a red hot three days campaign to
meet the big quota of $4,000 assess
ed against the city. That they were
finally successful speaks volumes for
the steady and earnest work done b.
all the volunteers. This campaign
will mean more to the people in the
time to come than they now realize,
for this saving which they are now
doing merely as a patriotic duty to
their country, will in the days which
are almost surely to follow the term
ination of the war be source of valu-
able assistance to many who now look
upon them as of little consequence.

CLOSING OUT TO QUIT
One of Lamar's Oldest Mercantile Es-
tablishments Will Close for
Good on August Is.

The old New York Store, one of the
oldest mercantile concerns of the town,
established about eighteen years ago
by A. Friedman, and recently sold by
him to Messrs. Byars, Fox and Ed
wards of the Golden Rule Store, will
be closed up forever on August 18th.
The store room has been leased to
other parties and the stock must be
disposed of before that date. The
owners are therefore putting on one
of the biggest sales ever attempted
in this section of the state to dispose
of the stock in the few days remain
ing so as to save cost of moving.
Everything in the big stock is being
marked down below cost and on Sat
urday. July C, the big sale starts. Be
fore the war prices will prevail every
where in the big store during this
sale, and all the buying public should
avail themselves of this great money
saving opportunity.

At last the Bolsheviki government

suckers who, under the guise of liberia
tors, sold Russia into the hands of the
Prussians, are reported to have fled.
Democracy as principle and as a
form of government is a success.
But when any person or any class of
persons get the idea that the world
owes them a living and carry this
idea to the extent of anarchy-they
are spelling the doom Of their govern
ment, their neighbors and themselves.
1t is hoped that the fate of walk

The War Savings Stamp drive COM
ing as it did soon after the Red Cross
and not long before the Y. NJ. C. A.
campaign, made more and more ap-
parent the necessity of looking ahead
and planning to take care of the war
activities.
Prowers county citizens may as
well count on two Liberty Loans.
You can pretty well figure out in
advance what to count on. This year
for instance, we were all fairly sure
of two Liberty Loans; the big w. S.
S. campaign; the Red Cross campaign;
drive for Y. NJ. c. A. war work funds !;
and perhaps one or t-~o other smalle
war campaigns worthy of attention.
We knew these were coming. We
should have prepared for them by
estimating, first, what our total 1915
income would probably be; then figur-
ing how much, by strict economy, we
could spare out Of this sum for in
vestment and donation; and finally di-
viding this sum up among the various
causes.
Had we done this, it would have
prevented confusion and we would not
now find ourselves saying "are these
calls never going to cease ?" Each
cause would have received its part
we would have known in advance what
We could give-and Prowers county's
war activities would have been handled
easily and in business-like manner.
We say, had We done this" But
the year is only half over. Why not
do it yet?

Committees Meet.

The chairmen Of the two political
parties, NJ. J. McMilin and II. p. Syp.
called their committees together Mon
day Of this week for the purpose Of
calling county assemblies preparatory
TO the state assemblies and the pri-
mary election. AS there has been
much talk in various sections of the
county about passing up politics for
this year the two committees decided
to call the conventions for the same
date and let the delegates of the two
parties when assembled decide the
matter for themselves. If either OBJ
jects then a campaign will be unavoid-
able. Accordingly July 18th will be
the date and the democrats will meet
at the court house and the republicans
at the Fraternal Temple. The repub-
lican primaries will be held on July
9th in various precincts at the regular
voting places and the voters are re-
quested to turn out and instruct their
delegates as to their wishes. Tho
hours for the primaries are between
two and four O'Clock in the afternoon.
The official call will be found in an

HHRSCHEL HORN IN ENGLAND
Interesting Letter From Lamar's
First Y. NJ. c. A. Secretary
"Over There"
June 7th. 1918.

Lamar Lodge No. 80, A. +. & A NJ
Lamar, Colorado.
Dear Brethren:-
At the suggestion of your Worthy
W. NJ, am writing to you collectively
rather than individually, because of
lack of time. Am a busy man, at
least am supposed to be.
As preface | wish to state that
if something needs to be done in n
hurry, simply turn it over to the above
mentioned w. NJ. Through his good
services, my trip was expediated and
no time lost, having docked in May.
Not so slow. Thanks to him.
You probably would like to know
something of the trip. There is little
10 tell. To have been the only Y. NJ.
C. A. man on board a transport is a
never to be forgotten experience,
privilege, an honor, there being no
civilians on board aside from the crew.
With no band playing, no one to
say goodbye, the men marched up the
gangway with sturdy tread, glad to
at last be on the way. Cheerful and
happy, finer lot of men never saw,
typical Americans who will do their
part in upholding the honor of our
country.
The commanding officer and the zap
tain of the ship were fine men, gentle
men. and were ever on the Lookout for
the comfort and safety of those in
their charge | remarked to the c. o.
that he was always apparently feeling
cheerful, and he answered, "a try - Le.
You and are in the same game, ex-
cept sometimes it is necessary fer me
to dispense justice and mix a little
hell with it."
The ehaplains aboard held religious
services, my work being largely in the
distribution OF the Y. NJ. C. A. sup
plies of tracts. testamcnts, etc, caring
for the library placed aboard, looking
after photographs and other matters
pertaining to the entertainment of the
boys, such as checker boards, chess,
dominos and similar games.
There were not sufficient books and
magazines. There was a constant call
for something to read. Any surplus
books should be turned over to the
library for the benefit of the soldiers.
The work was a pleasure, for the
men seemed to appreciate it and the
C. O's. "God bless you and good luck"
and the many other farewell hand
clasps repaid any effort on my part.
After the war, | can give more de-
tailed account Of the trip. IT was
thrilling experience.
Am temporarily assigned to work in
England. 1t now looks at its best. 1t
is beautiful country and the people
delightful Attended Westminster
chapel last Sunday morning and altho
we (Y. NJ. c. A. sec's.) arrived early,
we were fortunate to secure seats.
Both the balconies as well as the main
floor being filled.
Have met many men who know
friends of mine DIR. Pratt, whom y,u
all know, was one Of the first seere-
taries to greet me. In Eagle Hut, l
met former Coloradoan who enlisted
in the Canadian army in February,
1916. He was on sick leave, having
been wounded.
My time being limited, must close.
Trusting this finds all well and the
lodge flourishing, | remain,
Fraternally yours,
