Why, then, this sudden reversal?
Wizards heavyweight title is
worth a lot of money to him so long
as he holds it.
He knows that public opinion will
force him into the ring within the
near future anyway and Jess is not
anxious to fight over a marathon
route. What he wants is to keep
out of the ring altogether, or if he
can't do that hold off public opinion
a few years longer by engaging in a
short bout
Willard knows as we'll as anyone in
the world that there isn't a fighter
living who can take his measure in
a 10-round bout. Since his 10
round fiasco with Frank Moran he
realizes that most promoters would
jeer at the idea of offering a big
purse for another bout of that length.
But fight he must and to fight un-
der the terms which he wishes to
fight under he must make conces-
sions.
For the Red Cross he can concede
the gate money-he is not giving UP
very much, the other fellow must do
the same. Then he can lay down
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-01-03

his own rules. which provide for a
1O-round fight without decision in
which his title IS not at stake.
This will not bring in so much
money at the gate, but it will safe
guard Wizards interest and it will
put him back in cae rmelight again,
which means money to him.
And weo will Willard fight?
He doesn't care, and why should
he? Fulton is undoubtedly the only
heavyweight who has chanre with
him and Fulton would have no
chance in anything less than 20
rounds. Billy Mske is the only other
candidate who has not been proved a
bloomer recently. Fulton and Miske
are to box soon and on that bout
probably will rest the question of
Wizards opponent.
The others are entirely out of it.
Carl Morris has fouled himself out
of consideration; Frank Moran has
shown he is no match for Jess; Jim
Coffey is even more impossible. it's
up to Miske or Fulton, preferably the
latter and in 10 rounds-oh we'll, as
before stated Jess Willard is not al
truistic.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-01-03

A few days ago the boxing world
was startled when Jess Willard
crawled out of his shell and an
nounced he was ready to box any
heavyweight on condition that all
money taken in should be donated to
the Red Cross.
The announcement was particular
ly spectacular on account of Will
lard's attitude since he has had the
championship-an attitude which held
off all challengers by the simple but
effective method of ignoring them.
1t was also surprising on account of
Wizards previous seeming unwill-
ingness to enter into any activities
which would aid any patriotic. cause.
AS it stands Wizards announce
ment will bear little scrutiny.
In the first place Jess Willard is
not altruist;c. Since he won the
championship from Jack Johnson he
has done nothing which would not
bring the money his way and has
succeeded in piling up stack of
dollars that a Zeppelin couldn't fly
over.

ratio of corn price to hog price on
the average over a series of years
has been about twelve to one Tor
little less). In the past years,
when the ratio has gone lower than
twelve to one, the stock of hogs in
the country has decreased. When it
was higher than twelve, the hogs
have increased. That board has Civ
en- it's judgement that to bring the
stock of hogs back to normal under
present conditions the ratio should be
about thirteen, Therefore, as to the
hogs narrowed next spring, we viii
try to stabilize the price so that the
farmer can count on getting for each
100 pounds of hog ready for mar
ket, thirteen times the average cost
per bushel of the corn fed into the
hogs.
Let there be no misunderstanding
of this statement. 1t is not a guar
antee backed by money 1t is not a
promise by the packers. 1t is a state
ment of the intention and policy of
the Food Administration which
means to do justice to the farmer.

BULLETIN OF HOG
PRICES ISSUED BY
ADM|N|ST RATION

In an effort to stimulate interest in
hog raising in Escambia county,
County Farm Demonstration Agent,
C. A. Fulford yesterday gave out
the following bulletin prepared by
Joseph P. Cotton, chief of the meat
division of the U. S. Food Admins
tration:
Joseph P. Cotton, chief of the u.
S. Food Administration meat dIvl-
sion. today issued the following state
ment relative to the prices of hogs:
"The main purposes of the Food
Administration as to hogs are four:
To see that the producer at all times
can count on a fair price for his
hogs SO that it will be profitable to
him. to see that the farmer increas-
es the number of hogs bred, to limit
the profit of the packer and the mid
dleman and to eliminate speculation.
All these purposes are necessary
because we must have more hogs,
so that the ultimate consumer shall
at all times get an adequate supply
of hogs at the lowest feasible price.
We shall establish rigid control
of the packer. Fair prices to the
farmer for his hogs, we believe, will

which the Food Administration has
over the buying of the Allies. our
Army and Navy, the Red Cross. the
Belgian Relief and the neutrals,
which together constitute a consld-
cradle factor in the market.
The first step is to stop the sud
den break in prices paid for hogs
at the central markets. These pric-
es must become stable so that the
farmer knows where he stands, and
will feel justified in increasing hogs
for next winter. The prices so far as
we can effect them will not go below
a minimum of about $3.50 per hun
