Not According TO Dope


Some of our very best experts cannot
dope out Tenders success. They have
seen left-handed boxers in the past and
witnessed their downfall when they were
stacked up against good man. The
reason for this Is that the common or
garden variety OF left-hander is a fiat
footed, sowly-moving person, who pos
sesses 4 knockout punch and has to set
himself to get It over. Men like that are
easy marks for fast scientific boxers
and never havo they made good. Ring
history Is full Of left-handed reverses.
But with Glassmans champion it is
different. Lew is not fat-footed. In
stead. he is up on his toes all Of the
time and bewilders his opponent with
his fast. clever work. He is hitting
harder than ever before and this in
crelses his effectiveness, Right now lie
looks like another Johnny Dundee, and
IL Manager Phil continues to use his
natural shrewdness in making matches
Lew will be one of the most TIA lked-of
boxers in the country.
Tender will admit that he is not as
good as Benny Leonard and that he has
no desire to meet him, except in a social
manner He Is not at all anxious to
mingle with the lightweight champion
in the ring-yet lie is willing to wait
a couple of years for that.
Tae bout with Callahan will be a real
tryout for the Philadelphia lightweight,
and IL he is successful, he should figure
in some big bouts this winter.
Burns Has a Champion
Johnny Burns the Kensington impre-
sario. is staging an all-star bantar1 show
at the Cambria tomorrow night John
believes there are many little fellows
around town who should be given a
chance to show their prowess and will
use many of them in the future He
hopes to select an opponent for KID
Herman In these elimination contests.
II have a battler who Will receive his
first hard tryout tomorrow night in

day. "This boy has been boxing in

but never has been given a chance In a
windup. He looks like Tommy O'Toole
in his prime and is one of the most
popular boys in Kenslngton. He is not
facing setup. for he will box Gussie
Lewis. Gussie gave Herman a hard bat
tie in the Tobacco Fund show andsis a
very classy boy. German thinks he
can beat him, however and you know
that confidence is one-half of the bat
tle."
Jack Weinstein Crates
Jack Weinsten also Is running at
large. Sust bubbling over with news
about Eddie Okeefe. Jack, let Il be
known. is Eddie's manager and declares
that his man has recovered from his
broken hand and soon will be ready to
do business. An effort will be made to
match O'Keefe with Joe Lynch. In the
last bout Eddie broke his hand and
all bets were called off in the third
round. Weinstein wants to wipe out
that defeat.

The assessor of Redwood Falls
could certainly give some vital in
formation to the promoters of any
future Anninias club for this here
place. Of all the weird tales of
poverty the poor man has had to
listen to. Quite enough to depress
a man much harder of heart than he
is. Of all the destestable and con-
temptible forms of Icing, tax eva
sion is the worst. We lost consider
able respect for some of our most
highly respected citizens" after just
one short talk with Mr.. Assessor.
Some of the things he knows about
several business men in our midst
would make interesting reading if
they were not such an awful blot on
the city's fair name. We wonder if
it is really worth while to perjure
oneself just to save few dollars.

HOW WAS THAT LAST WAR
FUND SPENT?.

1t is a fair question-and it is
fairly answered in the detailed and
itemized reports that have been pub
lished in the newspapers of every
town and city of the land.
You never saw it: Then ask at the
nearest Red Cross chapter, or write,
for the Red Cross wants you to know
where your money went.
They say Red Cross supplies have
way of coming through on time.
Italy surely has found us not want
ing in promptness when her great
trial came.
And Roumania-they said no allied
nation could get through to help her
dire need
But the Red Cross found way.
It's not always cheap way
needs must" costs money. But did
you give that money to be saved
or to save lives? Are you not willing
to pay five dollars or fifty to bring
something of comfort to a war
facked. tortured mortal who but for
you would surely die?
And of one thing you may be sure.
Not one penny of that hundred mil
| lion has gone for anything but war
relief.
In the Red Cross there is no high
salaried bureaucracy, no extravagant
administration expense. All of the
higher officials and nine-tenths OF
the workers are unpaid volunteers
The cost of raising and collecting
| the last war fund was about one
half of one per cent, more than COW
cred by the banking interest on the
money.
Your Red Cross needs another
hundred million to tighten just lit
tie of the awful load Of misery "ovel
there" Your share is all that yor
can give-an then a little more

THE REDWOOD GAZETTE, REDWOOD FALLS, MINNESOTA

larry true in large cities where ones
habits are not well known, but in
small places a reputation as a cash
customer soon gets to be common
property. At any rate it is good
plan to deal on credit for the sake of
the time when you may need &C
commodation.
One of the best known public ac-
countants in New York states that
early in life he saw the time coming
when he would need to borrow, and,
concluded to establish his credit be-
forehand He knew that if he bor-
rowed and paid promptly, he would
soon have good credit, and six per
cent for credit is cheap. And so he
oEened a bank account, got in favor
with his banker, borrowed but paid
punctually, until he was well re-
garded as a credit risk.
The time came when he needed
money to finance his undertakings,
and he found no trouble in getting
what he wanted, because he had es-
tablished himself as safe bor-
rover.
Guard your credit as you guard
your health. 1t will always be a
good friend to you and never desert
you. Borrow when you must, but
pay as you agree-there is no other
way. Make your word as good as
your bond Treat your debts as
sacred obligations. Don't "welch"
on your business transactions. Play
the man. Don't let the lender do all
the worrying over the debt, do some
yourself. Don't let it go at that, but
worry to certain result. Don't think
for a moment your creditor has for
gotten your debt, no matter how old
we never forget such things.
When you must borrow, do not go
to your friends, but find some organ
lied agency (they exist in every large
city, that makes lending business.
If your proposition is good, and you
can qualify, you can get your loan,
and it will be cold business propo-
sition, satisfactory to both.
Next to a good bank account, good
credit is your best friend. Guard it
as such.-A. B. A.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1918-05-15
YOUR CREDIT?

Every man should be jealous OF
two things: his good name and his
credit A good name helps his credit
and good credit helps a good name.
He should value his reputation as his
choicest possession, and he should
guard his credit equally as well, if
not better than he guards his money.
He can protect his good name by
keeping good company, avoiding
questionable places and bad habits in
general His name is what he choos
es to make it. He can build up and
protect his credit by one course
borrowing and paying as he agrees
buying on time and paying on time
The greatest force in the business
world is credit-the power to bor-
row; to get trusted to obtain the
property of another to use as our
own on mere promise to pay. Gre
dit says Webster, has done more
thousand times to enrich the ma
lions than all the mines in the world"
Credit spans rivers, opens mines
builds railroads, moves commerce
and wages war. Our whole business
structure rests upon it. For every
extension of credit there must be a
debt, and there can be no credit
where there is no debt.
Debt is not dishonorable; the abuse
of credit is. The man who runs in
debt is not business offcast, but a
sensible man-provided he uses his
credit Alright. There are some forms
If debt to be encouraged; there are
others to be avoided. To buy a house
| with mortgage on it is commend
able; but to buy an automobile
| from the proceeds of a mortgage on
your house ought to be a disgrace
To run grocery bill is no crime;
to fail to pay as you agree ought to
be. To furnish your house on the
installment plan may be the best
thing you ever did-some people
could not have home any other
way; but to buy clothes on dollar
a week installment plan is financial
suicide
Strange as it may seem, those who
have operated on the pay-as- you
or-dont-go-plan find it difficult wher
they must ask for credit. The trou-
BILE is, they have done nothing to es-
tablish their credit. This is particu-
