Fight Fans Turn
from Heavyweights

New York. May 3t.-The sEh. fans
OF The country are no longer interest
ed In the heavywe ights.
The calling or Of the willard Full
ton battle July WAS met without a
sign Of regret from the boxing public
and 1t Will probably he many 81 day
before the big fellows in pugilisn get
back into the spotlight again.
Colonel J c. Miller saw SO many
evidences that the country did not
want the big fight that he became dis.
couragsd. and no one could blame
him The bout was handed the chill
some shoulder at every turn, and II
deserved no better reception.
Had Willard and Fulton played
their cards right. they would have
stood a chance to make a cleanup
But they would have had to hgh'
more than ten rounds to win popular
approval.
In turning down the offer OF FRO.
moter Tortorich. OF New Orleans. the
big fellows Willard in particular
made one grand mistake Willard
offered the fimsy excuse that the eli
mate In Louisiana is too hot in July
He did not get away with II in the
eyes of the boxing public
The long search for a site for the
bout become SO tiresome that each
new attempt Of Promoter Miller
evoked only passive interest among
the fans The public was more In
terested in seeing the bout turned
down than anything else.
Since Colonel Miller gave up tn
ghost, there is little chance that the
heavyweigfts will get back into III,

MAY LOSE CONSIDERABLE.

Details of the plans for gov
ernment purchase from dealers
of surplus stocks of wheat flour
substitutes were made public
yesterday by the federal food
administrator for Arizona.
Incidentally, it was revealed
that Arizona dealers stand to
sustain considerable loss
While this is regretted by the
food admins ira ton officials point
out thar this was unavoidable in
face of the sudden change of
conditions attendant upon the
signing CT the armistice, and
Arizona merchants were called
upon TO make this additional
sacrifice as a matter Of patriotic
duty.
Under the plan of purchase of
victory flour and other compul-
sorry wheat -four substitutes, the
cereal division offers the follow
ing prices for stocks delivered
in carload quantities at seaboard ::
Victory flour $1O.5O; barley
flour, So straight; or patent rye
flour SO; dark rye flour $3.50;
white corn meal flour So 50; vel,
low corn meal flour So; cream
corn meal SO; other corn meal
81 so; but in no case higher than
actual invoice cost, plus freight.
With Galveston and San Fran
cisco named as the nearest point
of delivery for Arizona, it is
patent that Arizona dealers will
stand a loss in making shipment
of substitutes. 1t is, therefor,
suggested that they reduce prices
on victory and other substitute
stocks, thus giving the public
advantage even though loss may
be incurred, and thereby dispose
Of stocks more readily than
through sale to the government.
Many dealers have already
taken this course. 1t is believ-
ed that all stocks of substitutes
including victory flour can be
disposed of with slight loss,
within thirty days if this plan is
carried ont.

late Lord Khondda, then British Food
Controller, cablcd that unless we
could send an additional 100000
bushels he could not take RESPONSE

responded by sending S5.O00,0OO bush

year and the advent OF the new crop.
by October 10, 1918, we had already
shipped G3,9G0,30J bushels since July

our wheat exports since the latest har-

Generally fair weather and mod

and have been favorable for all

in the replenishment Of the wat

Rainfall was particularly heavy
