Back in the spring Of 1919 there
was no more dangerous fighter IN the
world than Georges Carpenter, the
French champion.
Carpenter had met and defeated all
the good British and French heavy.
weights and took on several Ameri.
cans who went to France TO test his
mettle, this despite the fact that he
was usually outWeighed from Is TO
80 points.
There was q great deal Of money
in sight for Carpenter. He was head.
ed toward a tour Of the United States.
which would have reaped him a for.
tune. lie might have won the heavy.
weight championship Of the world.
Then Germany began the invasion
OF France. Carpenter didn't hesitate.
He reported for duty Immediately and
was soon indicted into the flying
corps, where he gave long and faith
full service to his country.
II is quite probable that Carpentie.
will never be able to fight in cham
pionship form again. Though he re.
allies this he has steadfastly refused
to take a furlough and come to Amer.
lea for two or three bouts.
IL will never fight for profit until
the Germans are driven from France. "
he told an American who tried to IN.
fluence him TO sign for a fight in
America.
Not long ago Carpenter was slight.
ly wounded and before he joined his
escadrille he deIoted most OF his time
in giving boxing instructions 70
French soldiers aud engaged in a cou
pie OF exhibition bouts for the amuse
ment OF American troops in France.

The above cut is likeness of Judge
James F. Ailshie, of Occur d'Alene,
Idaho, candidate on the Republican
ticket for the nomination for U. S.
Senator. Judge Ailshie was in Pay
cite last week, meeting a number of
old friends and making new acquaint-
ances, and it is real pleasure to
have talk with him; and one is i'm
pressed after talking with him that
he is senatorial size. He was for
about fourteen years on the supreme
court bench and there made Z record
that no one need to fear being brought
TO light, and is known all over the
state of Idaho, as man among men,
always honest, and of unquestioned
ability. Judge Ailshie comes from
North Idaho, which also should be
taken into consideration, as each part
of the state should be represented
in both branches of congress, and the
southern part already has Senator
Borah, and we believe that under all
the conditions, Judge Ailshie should
and will receive large vote from Pay
cite county.
