OUR BOYS BOXING
 UNDER A NEW SET OF RULES

The defeat of some of our lead inb boxers by their British cousins in the tournament in London is taking fistic followers here by sur- prise. They are wondering whether the Britons have develeoped a flock of boxing wonders or whether our boys were so slowed up by their service in the trenches and in the navy that they are unequal to the task of coping with their more ninble opponents. However, there may be an explanation in the fact that cables from London speak of new set of rules" Just what these rules are we know not, but suffice it to say that our boys are not finding them of great benefit. Said an editorial in the London Times yesterday: There never has been since the beginning of the world boxing tournament to compare with this. The rules Will do much to redeem what is really noble, primitive sport from it's old unworthy associations"
 Aside from much irresponsible talk on the subject the first definite plan to bring Georges Carpenter to ArR- ica to America for pugilistic contests has originated with Jimmy Dougherty of Philadelphia. He will sail to France in few days to interview the Erenchman on the subject of boxing in this country While Dougherty may not succeed in his undertaking, he at least will learn at fist hand the attitude of Carpenter as regards the project

She worked in restaurants when she later returned to New London and one time her husband beat her into uncon- scious in a restaurant.

Opening Prayer.

The following prayer, by W.
Fro. W. Wagner, Master of AL
gabil Lodge, is used at the open
ing ceremonies of that lodge, and
is very appropriate at these times:
Most holy and glorious Lord
God, the great Architect of the
Universe, the giver of all good
gifts and graces; in Thy name
we have assembled, and in
Thy name we desire to proceed in
all our doings. Show US Thy
mercy. And O Lord we beseech
Thee grant Thy salvation and
blessing to our brethren; wher-
ever they may be, on land and
sea; who have answered the call
of our country. Those to whom
our hearts continually go out in
fondest sympathy; for their way
may often be dreary, and their
feet be often wreary, and when
their hearts may be very sad, and
they are heavy burdens bearing;
then D Lord withhold not Thy
tender mercies from them, let
Thy loving kindness and Thy
truth continually sustain them.
And we pray endue them with
divine fortitude, so that they may
acceptably acquit themselves
with honor to our beloved coun-
try. And when it pleases Thee
that mercy and truth are met to-
gether, righteousness and peace
have kissed each other, then let
glory live in our land, May these
beloved brethren soon be restor-
ed to us that we may again en-
JOY their sweet companionships.

Holy Name, Amen. Temple

The Corn of PIenty-Gorn is that food There's

as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn Five hundred million bushels over and

learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
so easy? And so clear?

Both Reasons Good.

An old Welsh farmer of bygone
days who had a quart mug with
an angel painted on the bottom
inside found that a neighbor, who
visited him frequently and was
hospitality offered the first draft,
always gave so hearty a swig
that he almost emptied the ves-
sci.
The farmer at length remon-
strated, saying that the friend
should drink fair; but the friend
said that he did so love the angel
that he had to drink till he got q
glimpse of her face.
Hearing this, the farmer put
his angel mug away and soughJ
for another one less pictorallS
fascinating. At Shrewsbury Fail
he succeeded in getting a mus
with an ugly devil figured on tn,
bottom and thought then h,
would be safe. The friend ar
rived, the mug was filled, prof
fered and emptied at a singl
draft-for said he; Il canno
bear to leave that ugly devil
drop. Exchange.
