Minister Likes Bout.
There are some ministers who
have great liking for breaking into
print and knocking eevrything they
do not personally approve OF. It has
always been the aim of most of these
reverend gentlemen to knock the box
ing game because they were never
in danger of having any comebacks.
such as they might bump into in
other lines Of sport There are some
ministers who really ENJOY the sport
and box themselves, but they are in
the minority. Some Of them have the
nerve to stand by their own convic-
tons, but there are not many Of them.

Previously he mad been one Of the
strong opponents of boxing. Just be-
cause he imagined it was brutal or
heard other ministers preaching
against It. Probably. il more OF them
would attend a show Of that kind
and mix with the young men. they
would have broader views on matters

Match Not Held.
At Kansas City last week the SOL
der boys intended holding a big box
ing tournament for the benefit of the
war fund, the tourney having been
arranged between the young men OF
Camp Dodge and Camp Funston.
Mayor George Edwards, Of kaw City,
approved of the tourney; in fact,
mayor Edwards approves of boxing,
but the Ministerial alliance got to-
gether and protested against the hold
ing Of the show. stating that the pro-
moters of boxing in that city might
get some profits for their share of
the work, although the promoters
had agreed to turn their share over
to the Red Cross or war fund. which
was probably more than some of the

the sense of never hav-

their representation Of
the advance styles of
the Summer of 1918.
THIS sale is one Of
i the best offerings
of shirtwaists we have
