Fate of Boxing in State
Depends on Big Ca1mivul

at the Garden in aid of the $500, 900
drive is made to realize that such will
ne his fate if he does not fight he can
elther Withdraw his name before the
night of the show or go into the ring
ready for fight not an exhibition.
Managers May Be at Fault
1t is highly possible that the trouble
may lie with some of the managers
drawing power if they are outpointed
or knocked out in genuine fight and
therefore, "get together" and fix things
up before the men enter the ring. If
1t ls made plain that managers will be
held accountable for the actions Of
their boxers there should be no
trouble.
We have received no direct evidence
that would tend to show the boxing
carnival is not to be fought on its
merits, and there is nobody who would
rather see the affair the tremendous
success it deserves to be than u.s. but
"the burnt child breads the Are" and
we are still smarting from our last
wounds.
1t would seem rather a simple thing
to insure the carnival being strictly
honest If the proper precautionary
measures were taken beforehand 1t
is in the earnest desire to helm boxing
and the United War Work Campaign
that we have written the above re-
marks. We hope they will prove un-
called for and unnecessary.
Coffroth and Charley Harvey, who
are the head workers for the boxing
programme, have been experiencing
great difficulty it seems in obtaining
furloughs for boxers now in the service
at various cantonments. This state of
affairs should not be, considering the
cause for which the bouts are to be
held.
DR.. Joseph f. Raycroft. head of the
Training Camp Activities, is said to
be the man who has it in his power
to grant these furloughs, or at least
obtain them.
case in point is furnished by Ted
KID Lewis, who is billed to fight
Soldier Bartfield at the Garden. Lewis
is stationed at Camp Admission, Ala,
and the efforts of Harvey TO obtain a
two weeks furlough for the welter-
weight champion have so far met with
rebuffs. Is it possible that this is
Or. Raycroft's attitude? What kind
of cooperation is this in a cause de-
signed to help our soldiers and sailors,
perhaps to save hundreds of lives?
Harvey arranged another bout yes
torday that should prove lively one.
VIXEN he matched Kid Norfolk and Joe
Jeannette, the negro heavyweights.
These two men have met on two previ-
GUS occasions, Jeannette earning the
decisions on points. All the bouts are
to be of six rounds.

ADDRESS ON ART

Mrs. NJ. F. Johnston gave an inter.
esting talk on art at the meeting OF
the Rotary club in the high school
gymnasium at noon Tuesday
Using Germany and France as up
10 the minute examples, the speaker
said:
Germany is a biased civilization
built up on one ideal. On the other
hand France gives an equal place TO
truth, goodness and beauty, which are
all equally essential to civilization.
1T was in appreciation Of the need
OF more art and beauty In education
III America that the Richmond Art
association was founded" she said.
and for twenty-five years the Art
association has been trying to educate
this community in knowledge OF art
J. by holding exhibitions of the works of
art in various mediums.
1T has worked in connection with
the public schools In order that the
youth OF our city might be influenced
There Is no city in the United
States thai has done SO much for Its

This was one of the best meetings

may be interested, and we are ready
to answer any questions which may
be addressed to our Chicago office"
The potato plans in brief are, that
each community shall ascertain how
many potatoes it can consume normally.
and through a joint meeting OF the
commercial club and the farm bu-
reaus. provide that the proper acreage
shall be planted and that the local
community shall agree to use local
potatoes first.
In order to make this plan work
able. it will be necessary to build VEN
tilated storage cellars, according to
plans which have been thoroughly
worked out at Lake Forest, H., In
which potatoes may be kept in good
condition up to the time when new
potatoes come on the market.
In localities where there may be a
larger production Of potatoes than can
be consumed, the plan suggests that
potato -four and starch mills be erect
ed-at first on a small scale, grad
ually growing as the business becomes
profitable.
The process is not intricate. The
potatoes are first washed and stones
removed and then passed through a
steam cooker into a taking machine
which consists of two large steam
heated rolls which toast the potatoes
into thin layer very much like corn
flakes.
These faxed potatoes are then
ground in suitable mill of which
there are several types, and the -four
thus obtained from the whole po-
tatoes containing all the vitamines.
may be sacked or barrelled and kept
indefinitely.
The starch process consist of wash
ing and settling, and a great deal OF
the potato value is thus lost There are
two successful potato mills now in
operation, one in Idaho Falls, and
the other in Aroostook County. Maine.
To our shame it must be said that
all the potato -four we have hereto
fore used has been imported from
Germany, where potatoes constitute
nearly half Of the diet.
Are we hungry? Not yet. But
it is high time that we Americans
should provide to feed, not only our
selves, but also our wards in chan
