Gus himself among pugilists of the
early days, appeared at a theater and
, offered to fight any man in the audi
ence, and it was the Boston Strong
Boy who answered the call. Sullivan
had done some boxing among his
friends, and his willingness to fight
at any and all times had given him
some knowledge of the fighting game,
However Boston nor any other place
was prepared for what happened. Sui
livan and Goss went only few rounds,
but in the brief space of time Goss was
hit so hard time or two that he was
absolutely dazed, nearly out.
The famous club-swing used by Sui
livan so effectively in later years came
into prominence in this fight. Later,
when Goss appeared at a benefit in
Boston with Sullivan billed to meet
him in three rounds as an exhibition,
the cards proclaimed Sullivan THE
Coming Champion of America"
Mike Donovan, old-time heavy
weight, and one of the widest boxers
the ring ever has seen, was present
the night of this exhibition and i'm
mediateIy classed Sullivan as a great
fighter--one of the most natural and
effective men he ever had seen at
such a period in his development.
Donovan was teacher of boxing then,
and a man who aspired to the heavy
weight championship, although he was
only a middleweight in poundage. Sui
Ivan had approached him prior to the
meeting with Goss and had asked for
instruction, but when Donovan saw the
mill, he Immediately stated there was
nothing to teach Sullivan.
This was the making of Sullivan.
His next bout was with George Rookie.
another of the oldtime ferocious heav-
les, and he put Rookie away with one
of his right-hand smashes in two
rounds. In this bout he uncovered the
knockout punch, now the recognized
point of attack among all boxers-a
blow on the point of the chin.
Sullivan, re-creator of boxing in all
its present-day forms, learned the
punch from a medical student who,
himself, had discovered it by accident
Previous to the knockout registered
by Sullivan, no one ever had heard of
a knockout, and the name really came
into being when it was used by Billy
Madden, one of Sullivan's many man
agers, in describing the blow that dis
posed of Paddy Ryan and gave the
Boston gladiator the American heavy
weight championship. 1t is a blow
squarely on the point of the chin,
which drives the jawbones back and
results in unconsciousness through it's
effects on certain nerves.

KILL NO HENS OR
BULLETS IS ORDER

The United States food administra-
ton has forbidden licensed trading in
live OF freshly killed hens and pullets.
Licensed dealers were notified that
fresh stock of this kind already pur-
chased must be disposed as soon as
possible and that additional stocks
may not be purchased. They may still
handle stored or frozen stocks.
By restricting the killing of chick
ems which should soon be heavy lay
ers, the food administration hopes to
increase the production of eggs, add
ing to the available market supply
and at the same time allowing them
to go into storage during the season of
high production at a price which will
not necessitate unreasonable figures
fer storage eggs next fall and winter.
Further slaughter would possibly re-
1uce this years production to the dan
ger line
Increased cost of feeding, combined
with present attractive market prices,
has influenced many poultry raisers 20
dispose of birds which should add to
the spring and summer egg produe-
ton. If the slaughter should continue
at the rate which has ruled in recent
months, there would be very real
shortage of eggs this spring, with cor
respondingly high prices paid for those
placed in storage.
Both the food administration and the
department of agriculture have adj
vised saving all hens and pullets for
egg production. The food administra-
ton some time ago requested dealers
to reduce the slaughter of possible egg
producers, urging them to procure
wherever possible cocks and cokerels.
1t has now taken a further step and
placed the full power of it's authority
behind definite prohibition. Failure
TO observe this ruling would constitute
a violation of the food-control act 1t
would be followed by revocation of
license or could be punished by fine
of not more than $4,000, by imprison-
ment for not more than two years, or
by all three.

CHAPTER IL

There entered the world on October
10, 1858, in the RoXbury section of Bos-
ton, Mass, youngster who was just
like every other youngster His par.
ents were Mr. and Mrs. Michael Sulli-
van, and they named the addition to
their family John L. And, just as if
christenings were the sum total of
names, the youth grew to manhood
with just his first name and the mid
die initial enough to designated him
John L. he was then, and John L. he
was up to the time of his death
John l.. spent a humble boyhood
His parents came from Ireland to
make their fortunes in America They
didn't get any wealth. so it was up to
John when he grew old enough to earn
his own living.
Wild and carefree, full of energy
and deviltry, this youngster simply
swept over the early stages of life.
He dubbed over with enthusiasm over
being alive. He went swiftly from one
occupation to another after he dis
carded his school books And through
it all there stuck out his love of en-
iOyment, infatuation for athletics, and
regard for fair play.
Early days for John L. Sullivan at
school were filled with rough-and-tum-
BILE fights among his fellows-just as
every boys life is filled with similar
things. But his, unlike most boys
fights, led on and on through more
fights. This relic of the days of the
old gladiatorg just kept on fighting
because he couldn't help it. He liked
to fight
John was just a STRIPPING when he
hired himself as a tow-boy, driving the
mules along the path, with heavy
canal-boat swishing along behind. The
life, however, was too dull He wanted
more action. And it was. this craving
that drew him strongly and surely into
the public eye as the greatest pugilist
VINO ever drew on glove. He quit
his jobs one after the other in rapid
succession. He became a tinsmith's
helper, a plumbers helper, and finally
a plumber. His longest job stayed
With him while he was workman at
the old Kingley Locomotive Works in
Boston. where his prodigious strength
first became noticed. He used to push
box cars around there
The title of the Boston Strong Boy
was conferred on him before he was
IS years old. He was immensely proud
of It. and as it became more and more
noticeable, and as his feats as an ath
lete became more talked of, he eXper
fenced a craving to become a pugilist.

OFFICER UNDER ARREST
FOR MENTIONING ARRIVAL

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE war
department authorizes the announce
ment that a young officer is held in
arrest because he divulged to a rela-
tive the name of the vessel upon which
he was about to start overseas and
the scheduled date of departure. AS
a result of this prohibited informa-
ton a relative of the young officer
a first lieutenant, sent a telegram to
him at the port of embarkation. This
telegram, which was not in cipher, fur
nished information which, in the hands
of the enemy, might have endangered
the vessel and all aboard
Strictly Forbidden in Orders

Ten members OF the home guards
had a lively experience Thursday af-
ternoon, when at request of a local
committee In south Dickinson they
visited seven farmers who had failed
to meet the fair assessments set for
the war work campaign. They were
IN uniform and meant business, in
tending to bring to town any who
refused for trial before a military
court at the court house.
But 1t was not necessary. The
men who could bluff the local com
mittee wilted when they saw men

record.

and Avoid misunderstanding.

Paris. Nov. 2O.-In order to end
the discussion as to whether William
Hohenzollern has really abdicated as
German emperor 1t is understood the
German government intends to pub
lish his decree Of addiction. This
consists Of an attempt to justify the
war on the ground of Germany's iso-
lation.
The abdicatlon decree, according to
the correspondent at Zurish Of LIN
formation, concludes with these
words:
ITO avoid difficulties and to put
an end to the mourning and suffer
ing of my people l renounce the
throne and leave my faithful sub
iects free to choose a government
which seems to them most compat-
ible with honor and to their interest.

SOLDIER MONUMENT is
RIGHT IDEA FOR COUNTY.

Editor of Reflector: l heartily ap-
prove of your suggestion that Dick
inson county erect soldiers ana
sailors monument to commemorate
the great service rendered and sacri-
flee made by the sons of this county.
The great world war may be worth
what IL has cost IL we have learned
it's lessons Alright and shall hereafter
cherish the institutions of freedom
and liberty with greater appreciation
than we have heretofore. A soldiers
and sailors monument will be the
outward sign and seal of our graft
tude for the heroic part taken by
Dickinson county in the great strug-
gle. BY the erection of such monu-
ment we show that we appreciate the
sacrifices that have been made rhat
we might continue to enjoy the
fruits of democracy.
Ah9ut ninety five yer cent OF the
people of Dickinson county have
shown their patriotism In the war
activities. The per cent of pacifists'
slackers, misers and pro Germans is
almost negligible. This memorial
project however should have the sup
mort of one hundred per cent OF the
citizens in the form of voluntary
s,hscrintions II should commem
crate the death of those who died III
hospitals as well as those who hero
cially fell on the battle front. be-
reve 1t should also include all women
who died in the line of duty.
There is special fund approx
mately $1,000 left from one Of the
drives made one year ago that might
properly be used as nucleus for
hands of the Dickinson County War
the proposed memorial. 1t Is In the
