Air Plants.

In some parts of Mexico "air plants
abound. These curious growths are
never attached to the soil in any way,
but rely for their moisture on the at
mospllere. Que kind, known as "Span-
iard's beard" tTillandsia usneoides),
attaches itself to telephone wires. Very
often the growth becomes positive
nuisance, and 1t is necessary to send
men to clear it away. The "spaniard's
beard" has no proper leaves, and ir
appearance is simply mass Of green
gray threads.-Wide World.

It is hard to be really Just to our
selves. A great many Of us are more
ienient with our own faults than with
those Of other people. while not few
censure themselves far more hnrshly
for false step than they would think
of censuring another. What we should
strive for is TO be neither too exactins
not too lenient where our shortcomings
.are concerned. but to give ourselves
the benefit OF simple justice.

SULLIVAN WAS
KING OF ALL
Believed in Fight to the Finish and
Could Stand More Than
ANY Man Since His
Time

What would Jess willard have

Sullivan had he met the late veteran
when he was in his prime?
! Jim Corbett, who won the champ.
| ionship from John L., says 1T would
have been a farce, with Sullivan on
| top.
Jeffries says that none of the
Younger fighters could have stood up
under John LIS mighty wallop.
Willard has not expressed himself
The question, however, Is one that
never will be answered, but the death
of the Boston Strong Boy who de-
fled the world, and the nice things
that are now being said about MN
cause all naturally to contrast MIN
with the present champion.
The two men certainly were not
very much alike. The zone fought a
whole lifetime to make S1,000,000 and
the other recently refused to fight
because he did not need the same
amount of money.
When John L. Sullivan won the
championship from Paddy Ryan in
Mississippi City February Z, 1882, he
began at once a tour Of the world,
fighting all who came, never ques-
tioning whether they had qualified to
meet him, but fighting them because
they were willing to meet him. Ihat
was enough for John l.. 1t was in
deed triumphal march, and he
emerged victorious from many
spectacular battle. But he was de-
Tending his championship and was
ready and willing to surrender to the
right man when he met him.
Imagine Jess Willard in bare
knuckle battle running seventy-f1re
rounds as the Jake kilrain-Sullivan
/ fight at Fichburg, Miss. This may
possibly answer the question Of the
superiority of the two heavyweights
Of the square circle"
Sullivan liked London and its rules
| of fighting are summed up in his own
words Flight to a finish or no fight
at all" This was what he called real
sportsman spirit.
| "The greatest Roman Of them all,
John L., offered $1,000 to any man
| who was willing to meet him instead
of constantly telling the world what
the 40 thieves" -promoters-were
trying to make out OF his shows.
| Since Willard came into possession
of the championship belt he has
fought but one bout This was with
Frank Moran at Madison Square Gar
den. Sullivan witnessed this bout
and said Moran had the best of it.
Since then Willard has Withdrawn
from active pugilistic circles and is
living a sort Of hermit's life to the
boxing world. Even suggestions OF
Red Cross charity did not succeed in
bringing him forth. His only offers
for this cause come in the form OF
mo decision" bouts.
| There is no wonder that Sullivan
was popular. but there is some doubt

It was learned today that the con

from their staff the current season

battle that, after a few minutes early
in the game, resolved itself into q
runaway affair.
The Aggies bristled for few mo
ments and held Iowa to to 3 score
but thereafter they were hopeless
The first half, however, was fairly
close, with Aldrich at left forward and
Boyd, the other forward, playing
good game. Iowa was thus held to
lead Of to 4. Ames failed to cage a
single field goal in that half.
The second period was a slaughter
Aldrich Gagged seven baskets after
fouls, out Of nine trials-four in the
initial round and three in the second
half. A lone field goal was made by
Abbott early in the second half. Iowa
scored two points in the first half, by
way of free throws, and six via field

OLEOMARGARINE
is WHOLESOME
Prejudice Against Use-lts Use is Dis
appearing as Information About
Preparation Becomes
Known

The United States government and
prominent scientists have declared for
oleomargarine.. They claim that it is
equally as wholesome as best butter
and superior in flavor and keeping
property to the cheaper grades Of but
ter which brings higher price. But
terine contains less water than butter,
so any difference in food value is in
its flavor
It took twenty-five years for the
housewife to overcome prejudice
against lard tried out by packers and
that product hadn't the unreasonable
prejudice against it that oleomargar-
inc has. 1t is only question of time,
however, before housewives will real
ize that oleomargarine is one OF the
cleanest, purest products made under
the most careful and sanitary supervis-
ion. Thrice inspected, no creamery
can boast the same.
