From Chicago comes the news that
Andre Anderson, runner-up to Tom
Cowler for the Topping champion of
the world, has been accepted for the
national army and that Andre Will
be stationed at Camp Grant Further
details tell us that Anderson is 6 feet
inches in his holeproofs, pas pro
nounced physically perfect and did not
claim exemption.
Ignoring the fact that Andre was the
Leon Trotzky of the prize ring, there is,
no reason why he should not be made
over into a perfectly good Kaiser
buster. We are not going to say a
word about another report current las t
night, to the effect that Anderson's s
refusal to claim exemption was in
tensitied by the decision of his man
ager to match him against Jack Demp-
sey, and that rather than taste Jack S

A petition has been presented 70 the
Board of County Commissioners to
modify Herd District No l, of Gem
County, Idaho, so as to prohibit stock
from running at large therein at all
times during the year. This Herd Dis
trict embraces large tract of land on
all sides of Emmett, and is the oldest
Herd District in the county. having
been originally formed in 1907.
The petition is signed by practically
all the resident voters of the Herd Dis
trict. The modification asked for IS
likely to be granted by the County
Commissioners. Heretofore It has pre-
vented the running at large Of stock
for only six months in the year But
is has been made plain for long time
that It is folly to compel farmer 10
keep UP a fence for six months to
guard against stock. Either there
should be no Herd District at all, or
II should be operative at al times in
the year.
