WELL KNOWN CAPITOL
EMPLOYE IN NEW, ROLE

James p. Kenyon, who arrived on
the site of Bismarck on June S, 1872,
when one log cabin marked the begin
ming of the present city, and who for
eleven years was elevator man at the
state capitol, today entered upon his
new duties as special gent for the
automobile registration department Of
the secretary of states office. Mr..
Kenyon has met more statesmen than
probably any other man in North Da-
kota. He came to North Dakota as a
private in the regular army, and he
was a sergeant at Fort Keokh when
mustered out of the SERVICE For a
time Immediately after coming to the
northern half of Dakota territory he
was stationed at Fort Stephenson.
Thomas F. McKane also entered upon
his seasons duties as special agent
for the automobile registration depart
ment today.

RING HISTORY NEVER HASSEEN
MATCHING OF SUCH GIANTS AS
JESSWlLLARD AND FRED FULTON

New York, March 19.-The possibili-
ty that Jess Willard and Fed Fulton
may meet in the ring during the pre-
sent year, in battle for the world $
heavyweight championship, calls at.
tention anew to these extraordinary
opponents of modern pugilism. Big
men have by no means uncommon in
the ring during past decades but new
er in the history Of fist-cuffs have two
boxers Of the height and reach of Will
lard and Fulton faced in the squared
circlue.
The present titleholder is the big
gest man who ever won prominence
through his ability to outpunch an
opponent but, in this respect, he has
very little advantage over his pros.
pective competitor. In the matter of
height Willard is just about one inch
taller than the former plasterer who
halls from Rochester, MINI. Previous
to the advent OF these Goliaths Jim
JCffries, standing 6 feet, ~ inches,
was the tallest man who ever held
the heavyweight championship. Jim
Corbctt and Jack Johnson both grew
into the six-foOt or better class while
twotOf the greatest heaves the prize
ring ever knew-Fitzsimmon and
John L. SuHivau-were under six feet
in height.
Not In Height Alone
1t is not alone in height that Fulton
and Wizard stand apart when compar-
ed with the former champions in this
class. They are also heavies and
have longer reaches and in all prob
ability in the heat Of action pack a,
more crushing blow, although this is
purely a matter of opinion because
there is no way Of comparing their:
punching power with that OF those
who have gone before % ~. ~
Willard in his battle with Johnson
at Havana, In 1915, entered the ring
weighing about $40 pounds. Fulton
has given his normal fighting weight
at about 225 pounds. If the pair meet
for the championship it is likely that
the titleholder will not rain much be-
low ESQ pounds, while his challenger
will carry more than the usual amount
of flesh, in view Of the long battle that
is generally predicted before a winner
is evolved from the flying fists of the

magnates are waiting with unusua
interest the outcome of the meeting
Of the International League, schedul
ed to be held in this city on Monday
second since the annual meeting O.
the league was adjourned late in Dec
ember. 1t is expected that at the
coming session the club owners will
decide definitely whether the organic
alton will continue its circuit during
the season of 1918 or abandon play
for the duration Of the war. Such
evidence as is available in adva0ce
would appear to indicate that the
league will operate this summer.
Several Of the club owners have
clearly intimated that they are Oppos
ed to continuation Of play under the
present unsettled conditions, incident
al to the war. Others stand ready tC
back baseball for another season al
least, but just which side will hold the
majority vote cannot be stated be
fore the day of the meeting. If 1t is
decided to discontinue the schedule
there is bare possibility that one OF
more Of the clubs will form new

city combinations which have in past
seasons been a part of lower classifi
cation circuits. $751;

LITTLE MISS PARKS CELE-
BRATES TWELFTH BIRTHDAY
Thirty Guests in Fancy Dress and
Concealed by Masks.

The celebration of the twelfth
birthday anniversary of little Miss
Elizabeth Parks was a happy event
of Tuesday evening. The little lady
was assisted in doing the honors by
her grandparents, Judge and Mrs. J..
G. Parks. and her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. W. B. Parks.
Thirty little guests in fancy dress,
their features concealed by masks,
made up the merry company. The
valentine idea was carried out in
the decorations and the costumes,
red hearts and cupids being much in
evidence. The postoffice, where ev-
eryone received valentines, added
greatly to the pleasure of the little
folks, and all sorts of games furnish
ed amusement. Much merriment was
occasioned by the efforts to identify
partners, and there were many sur
prises when the children unmasked.
The festivities were kept up until
ten o'clock, when the little guests
were escorted home by Mr.. W. B.
Parks after enjoying delightful re-
freshments of cream and cake. .

MRS. CHAPPELL TO
The DISTRICT CLUBS
OUTLINES PLANS FOR CARRY
ING FORWARD MANY HELP
Full ACTIVITIES THIS YEAR.

Mrs. Guy Chappell, president of
the Dawson Woman's Club, is also
president of the Third district feder-
alton work and has outlined splendid
plans for carrying forward the many
activities for which the organization
stands. To this end she has mailed
a letter to each district club president
suggesting varied lines of work and
asking for cooperation in all meas
ures in the crisis the country is fac
ing.
She calls upon the women of the
district to make 1918 the banner
year in the many departments of
club work. The appeal closes with
this new years wish from the presi-
dent: "May this year bring added
benefit and joy to you as club, and
may your club be an added benefit
and JOY to those about you"
The Woman's Club has gone on
record as heartily favOring a chau-
tauqua for Dawson and stands ready
to cooperate in any movement to-
wards bringing something first class
in that line to the city in the spring.
1t is up to the business men to get
behind the enterprise in earnest and
push it along.
One thing is certain, Dawson is
thoroughly tired of carnivals and all
second class shows, and real high
class attractions would doubtless
prove great drawing cards To give
time and thought to our country's
needs is, of course, our first duty
but to keep normal our people need
wholesome entertainment. Especially
does he-city owe it to the young life
of the community to provide some
thing worth while in the way OF
amusement. Somebody set the bal
to rolling.
