had none Of the modern day conven-
fences and that when he came here
and wanted to cook his first meal he
looked around for some thing to COOK
it on and could find nothing. JEFF
said that finally he found a stand of
dry grass and he set this on fire. He
then took his coffee pot in one hano
and his frying pan in the ether and
these he held alternately over the
fire while the process Of cooking was
going on. He said that he started
his fire over on the Sabin addition
blowing all the time and that this
blew the grass from one place to
another and it kept him travelling
all the time to keep up with his NOV
able camp fire. The bacon in the fry
ing pan was done first and he sat it
down until the rest of the breakfast
was ready. Jeff said that ne found
that when the coffee was done he was
six miles away from the bacon and
was away over in Fairplains some
where.
A patient up at the city hospital
writes in and asks US the following
question. We're always so dazed
when we get through reading it that
we are passing it on to our readers
for solution. We would be glad 70

The question was as follows: "Mr.
Editor-When one doctor doctors an
other doctor does the doctor doing the
doctoring doctor the other Sector
like the doctor wants to be doctoreo
or does the doctor doing the doctor
ing doctor the other doctor like the
doctor doing the doctoring wants to
doctor him?"

Python hunts him a new parlor.

Editor James Haskins CT the How

hit with his subscribers last week
when he presented them with the
large farm edition Of IA pages instead
of the regular edition which he is

Of Brother Haskins and his force to
get it out.

Henry Luck says that he has u
way by which people can keep their
sweet milk for a day or SO after the
milk dealer delivers it to them, with
out the use of ice, which many peo-
pie have found it necessary to do
without owing to the scarcity of that
preservative article. Mr.. Luck says
his method it to keep crock of cold
or fresh water, set it in the base
ment or other cool place and place
the bottle of milk in it. This method
will if followed, according to Mr..
Luck, keep milk sweet and fresh for
twenty-four hours or longer and the
cost and effort is but trifie.

| In many parts Of Germany the disor

up their method of starting strikes, and
In addition are said to be trying to

East Prussia, for the entry of their
/ b0lshevik brothers from Russia. This
move was temporarily checked by the
sending of strong forces of troops.
Government soldiers alse operated eff
fectlvely in Berlin, where the Sparta.
cans were trying to get possession of
the. police stations but were routed
by artillery fire. The government press
predicted that the workingmen and the
government would reach an agreement
and that the general strike would fail,
leaving the most radical Reds as the
only malcontents. The government
has proposed that the soldiers and
wOrkingmens council be made an or
ganic part of the governmental sys-
tenn under the new constitution that is
being constructed at, We4mar.
Most Of the present German leaders
are still against any concessions to
the demands of the Poles as to the
eastern frontier, and the allies COM
mission now In session at Kreuz on the
Brandenburg-P Posen border, has a diff
cult question to settle. Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg is quoted as saying
that the territory in dispute never will
be held by the Poles, but will belong
20 either the Germans or the bolshe-
Wiki. He declares the anarchist hordes
cannot be beaten off unless the people
there rally to the defense of their
homes and their families.
The allied forces in northern Russia
have retired somewhat before the at
tacks Of the soviet troops, but have
inflicted great losses on them. Trotsky
Is getting his big army more organized
and is reported to be planning to drive
through Bessarabia and into Roumania
and Hungary, with the expectation of
capturing Budapest. The most amaz-
ing story coming from Russia recently
is that the soviet government hopes to
arrange big loan in America in re-
turn for mining and railroad conces-
si0ns. And, at that, 1t might be done.
The Irish question pestered the
president almost to the hour of his de-
parture. The house before adjourning
adopted resolution asking the peace
conference to recognize the right of
Ireland to self determination and a
big delegation of Americans of Irish
blood waited on Mr.. Wilson in New
York to urge that he support that
proposition. He refused to meet them
until Justice Cohalan of New York had
withdrawn, that individual having been
accused of taking part in Sim Fein
conspiracies and having been a defend
er Of Jeremiah 0Leary who was
charged with obstructing the draft.
What the president told the delegation
was not made public.

SOME PRICES COMING DOWN

"a Letter to The New York World
Reproduced in The Miami Metropolis)
The recently published proffer of
New York jobber to dispose, for ex'
port, of a quantity OF shoes at '$1.SO
to $5.75 pair (retailing here at from
IS to $2O) has caught editorial at
tention, as was to be expected
Furthermore, some sensible conclu'
sions regarding this opportunity OF
foreign retailers to secure excellent
American.made goods on splendid
prospective profiting basis has
brought out some quite direct and
sound suggestions, especially on the
part of The World.
It, however, suggests to the writer
that there are few reflections that
doubtless have arisen in the minds OF
many readers of, it may be said, all
New York newspapers that retail
merchants are now engaged in
quite laudable crusade to convince
the buying public that the period OF
exorbitant prces for most goods
most needed is undergoing relax
ing process and that many neces
saries-of apparel, etc.-are drifting
toward sounder shore. And this
means also that this already quoted
American jobber would better have
kept his goods where they are as
suredly most needed-at home.
1t is not purposed to argue here
the excessive retail prices that con
sumers have been taxed in purchas
ing, particularly within the past veal
and half, but to show the surprising
changes that have come about with
in the past-say twelve-months,

Well, fight fans, here's a hard
one for you. He's No. 4 and one
Of the best-known battlers Of all.
but he hasn't shown in Memphis
very many times and those fans
who happened to miss the boxing
show when he appeared may have
a tough time deciphering him.
Give him the once-over and then
set down your answer alongside
the number.
As the contest lengthens. more
and more interest is being shown,
and goes to show that Memphis is
the best boxing town in Dixie.
When the big centenary boxing
show is put on at the New Lyric
on May 10, 20, 81 and % it is GER
tain that the house will be packed
every night, for the topnotchers
of the boxing game will be here to
fight. Mike Gibbons, Pal Moore,
Jack Dillon, Knockout Brown,
Phil Harrison, Johnny Griffiths,
Len Rowlands, Benny Chavez
an octet of tt-wielders that can
not be beaten-will fight here.
Remember, the winners of this
contest-the two fight fans who
guess the largest number of these
headless boxers correctly-will get
two seats each for every one of the
four shows, and the seats will be
at the ringside, the best in the
house. The third best guess and
the fourth best guess will each re-
ceive, free of charge, a ringside
seat to the Pal Moore-Benny Cha
vez bout, which will undoubtedly
be a great battle.
Keep your answers until after
