YOUNG QUONG, AGE 5,
CHINESE BOXING CHAMPION

During the boxing tournament for
Railroad week, on the nigsts Of De
cember and 6, the Chinese 110-pountI
champion will appear. He comes
highly recommended and is claimed to
be a veritable yellow peril in ac-
ton, hitting from all angles and keep
ing after his man from the first round
to the finish of the bout. He affords
much amusement for the crowd, which
is kept figuring whether Wo Hoo. Foo
lung Kow means straight left or plain
uppercut.
The Texas masked marvel will be
in the other corner when the gong
rings. He don't know word OF
Chinese, but that won't bother his
admirers iii the least, for down In
Waco county they claim there is moth
ing of his weight on two legs that
can beat him. "TeX' has the same
way of thinking and is willing to un-
mask if anyone can force the issue,
but, on the other hand, he says that
if he beats, Quong will have to sing
for the audience.
Harry Woodbury., who is managing
the tournament, is looking for q Chin
ese instructor, so when Quong and
"Tex" meet in the ring for their final
instructions Quong won't make any
mistakes and go after the wrong man
1t will be remembered that Woodbury.

in front of him and he could not de
vote the attention that he should have
to his team.
The loss of Fisher in the early part
of the season was felt very much, for
he is an old player and would have
strengthened the line considerably.
He was disqualified by the doctor after
the second game because Of an ath-
.etic heart.
Husky Moretti, at right guard,
was a hard man to down. He broke
the defensive many times for line
plunges and interferences. Through
the season he was the dread Of the
CaleXico men, always hitting his man
hard and often.
Coed Center
Korfman, at center, although q
light man, was effective and proved
his worth many times. He could be
we'll "panncd" for his few "boners'
in the CaleXico game, one of which
resulted in the scoring Of q touch
down, but on the whole, according to
Coach RICHTER, he has PLAYED a good
game and another season should find
him a star.
Walters played a steady game and
was always on the job, He was used
as substitute at center, e2laclng
Korfman many times.

The Two Hamdred-E Hen

Poultrymen have long been looking for the
200-egg hen and the quest seems about finished
There have been individual hens which have
laid more than 200 egs year, but what breed
ers have sought to produce is a strain of hens
that would do that much as a regular business.
In these days of high poultry prices 200 eggs
from one hen, at an average price Of 40 cents
dozen, amount to $6.67 not at all bad con-
tributon by single fowl, to which must be
added the market value of the hen herself. The
eggs the more important it becomes to have a
flock of hens that actually lay eggs and are not
merely supposed to do so.
There has for number of years been con-
Quoted at Mountain Grove, Mo-, at the State
Poultry Experiment station, an annual egg-lay
ing contest, of which is now in its tenth
month. A coop of five hens of one breed is a
unit in the contest Most of the we'll known
strains of chickens are represented each year
and the same breed is not always winner of
first place. The leading coop at the end of
10 months has an average of 208 eggs, the next
206. and the third 203, each with two months to
go on The first and third are Rhode Island
Whites and the second is composed of White
Leghorns. These are two radically different
types of fowls. The Leghorn is small breed,
valuable for its laying qualities and the size
of its eggs The Rhode Island breed, both
both white and barred are what is known as
the American combination fowls, large and good
layers, valuable both for eggs and the table.
These>contests show two things. First they
prove that the pure breeds of fowls lay more
eggs than mongres, or Gust hens" as one
farmer recently designated his variety. They
also show that The laying qualities of each
breed may be largely developed by process
of selection for the purpose of perpetuating
special qualities discovered in individuals. This
process of selection is rapidly giving us the
200-egg hen as regular thing instead of an
n
of dollars in the pockets of our farmers if they
will but avail themselves of the knowledge these
experiments are producing.-St., Louis Globe

DISGRACE AND OPPORTUNITY.

Omaha will not try to, hide the shame
brought upon it, but will bravely seek to re-
cover the lost ground Material damage may
be repaired, costly though it is; lives lost can
not be restored, nor may we wipe out the
record. That is done.
What may follow is to arouse our people to
keener sense of personal responsibility and
higher conviction of civic duty Conditions Of
police inefficiency and lawlessness that are dis
graceful have been tolerated. Ample warning
was given of the approaching storm, but with
out awakening that element of the community
whose power might have been exerted to avert
the calamity.
Crying over split milk will do no good now,
but The Bee earnestly exhorts all good citizens
to devote themselves to the establishment of

activity by self-chosen committee Of $780,"

ais. 1t is time for sober thinking, law-abiding
citizens to assert their influence, and through
proper action to put Omaha's government again
on its feet, that the city may stand among its
peers once more.

out by measuring up to the opportunity and

Of nations and that therefore we must sign it
or be caught in an act of perfdy.

authority to say that the nation would accept
the obligations which were conferred upon it
at Paris?
BY what process did the nation make known
IFS latent to assume these responsibilities and

Sdeciare that it would put its signature to the

When the Mob Goes Wild.

No force of nature exceeds in its potential
destructiveness the insensate fury of mob.
This is pathetically shown in the damage done
at the Douglas county court house. By no
stretch of imagination, sober or inhalned, could
the way through the county treasurer's Office,
or that of the register of deeds lead to the
county Jail. Nor could the priceless records
contained therein, compiled by painstaking
labor for years, aid in any way the mob in its
attempt to get at its human victim. Wanton-
ness is the chief characteristic of such a gath
ering, and was so manifest in these great Of
fees of public records and service Deber-
ately the vandals rifed filing cases, emptied the
contents on the floor, devoted books, records
indices, whatever could be destroyed, to the
holocaust. The loss entailed in this does not
cease with the actual money value, which is
beyond estimate. but continues through the
delay that will result to the public business.
Taxes due or coming due are needed for the
carrying on of the business of the city and
county. Collection of these will be indefinitely
put off, till the records can be restored suf-
ficiently to enable the officials to proceed. How
long this will take can not even be guessed at.
That it will add tremendously to the other
damage wrought by the vandals is plain This
does not take into account the irreparable
private losses endured by the judges, whose
libraries were burned or by the societies who
had headquarters in the building and lost ALL
If the persons who took part in this vandalism
will quietly reflect on this, it may aid them to
achieve better behavior for the future.

Fiume and the Future.

"Fiume or fghtr' is the slogan in Italy
now. The Italian Chamber of Deputies has
adopted resolution recognizing Fiume as an
Italian city, This is even more of direct
challenge to the conference at Paris than was
the raid of d'Annunzio, which now receives Of
fetal and perhaps complete endorsement at
Rome. Just how the matter will be taken at
Paris may only be conjectured. In Italy the
sentiment among the people is all in favor Of
dAnnunzio, and it has been fatty stated the
army will not move to expel him from the city
he captured. No government can survive in
Italy that seeks to turn the city back to the
Jugoslavs. The settlement is squarey and
finally up to the powers who, with Italy, COM
posed the conference. France and England,
it has been reported, are not inclined to 60 to
extremes in the matter of coercion, and if moral
suasion fails will content themselves with the
situation, just as they have allowed ,Shantung
to go to Japan over Chinas protest. Several
days ago dispatches from Paris said the set
tlement had again been left with President
Wilson, No intimaton has yet come as to
what he has in mind, other than that he
might possibly suggest boycott of Italy until
it is willing to abide by the original decision
Jugoslavian representative in New York on
Saturday prophesied war between his country
and Italy for not later than March, with Greece
siding with the Balkan people. Any way the
aspect, and one that does not argue very
strongly for league that would involve Amer
lea any deeper in European quarrels.

Now for the Worlds Series.

1t is permitted, even under the stress OF ex-
element that surrounds US, to turn for mo-
ment to contemplation of the premier sporting
event of the season. The Olympian games
have been preserved to US in classic annals, and
who shall say that jewellers beneath the moons
in ages yet unborn will not pay similar respect
to the Worlds Series in the course of which
the honorable title of Worlds Champion Base
Ball Team will be determined? Greece did not
breed finer lot Of athletes, nor more of them,
that come forth from Americas fecundity. They
did not know base ball in those days, or the
games between Troy and Athens might have
afforded means to evade the war and so have
lost immortality for "the face that launched a
thousand ships and burned the topless towers
of Illium" The annual event is enlivened this
year by the presence of stranger. Not in the
history of the National League has Cincinnati's
team emerged on top until this time. That the
victory, of the Reds is popular is indisputable.
OF course the White Sox stand as high in the
estimation of the public and many a fan finds
himself torn between two loves in an endeavor
to determine which team he wants to see come
out on top in the big struggle. More eyes will
be turned to the score board for the next few
days than ever were riveted on the doings of
congress. We may occasionally view with in
difference the proceedings of law-givers, or
anybody else of ordinary Importance, but no
business is too absorbing entirely to distract
US from the Worlds Series
