Iowa expect to hear of new cham
pion on the morning of July 9Th, at
least they hope SO, as Dempsey is
more popular in the fistic arena than

The woods are in the finest condi-
ton now. There are some places
where the woods are full of Judas
or redbud trees the wild crabapple
and the redhaw tree, all of them be-
ing loaded to the limit with bios

finest array and all the smaller flow
ers that carpet the ground are
blooming at their best. The air is
almost heavy in places with the odor
of the wild flowers and blossoms
The mushroom hunters took adj
vantage of the showers to get the

the woodlands are finer to the eye
of the lover of spring than they pro-
badly will be again this season.
