SOME CITY JOBS OPEN
Fire Department Has Vacancies Open
for Few Service Men.

According to statement made this
morning by Joseph Hanlon, fire chief,
there are vacancies in several of the
fire companies that might be filled if
the right men should apply.
Hanlon rather prefers ex-soldiers or
sailors as they are in better physical
condition than men who have not been
living the rigorous life that has been
the accustomed routine of these men.
Employment has already been given
a number of ex-service men in the
fire department. Altho firemen are
not doing hard work all the time, the
chief says that they must be of suffi-
cient stamina and physique to stand
the gaff of hard fire fighting that
often falls to the lot of the firemen.

CHAMP SHOWS UP
Fight Critics Marvel at Will
lard's Speedy Improvement.
Big Pugilist AnnihiIates His
Sparring Corps.

Toledo, O.. June 1T.-Jess Willard
is growing stronger, faster and more
contented day by day as he prepares
for his coming battle with Jack Demp-
sey.
Some time ago it was freely pre-
dicted that there was a ve:. good
chance for the challenger to enter the
ring with the champion at even money
betting for practically the first time in
the history of boxing. There isn't a
chance for this now.
Following yesterdays vicious work
out, Jess stock scared to a height it
list simply annihilated his sparring
partners in the most ferocious train
ing battles seen in his camp since he
reached here. Critics who saw from
the very first day of his training de-
clare he has improved 500 per cent
Jess stepped SO fast the sparring
partners were sent at him in relays
first Hempel. then Heinen and then
Monaghan. On two occasions Heinen
took cracks that caused his knees to
bend and Willard was forced to call
off the artillery while his target recu-
perated. Heinen is willing, a fair box
er and stiff puncher, but he is so fat
and slow from lack of ring work that
he is practically useless right now.
Willard evidently took notice of this
fact for he tore into Heinen with a
vigor that brought a gasp from his
audience. He eased up bit on Hem
pei. but shot heavy rights and lefts at
Monaghan as long as Walter would
! take them without running.
Dempsey's layoff from boxing is
turning attention to the Willard camp
for the public gets its knowledge of a
fighters condition from what he does
when fighting, even in training ring
Jack was allowed to step four round
bout Sunday with Jamaica Kid for the
| benefit of the large crowd which
| flocked to see him, but the boxing was
slower than Jacks wont and it was
plain to be seen. that he was holding
himself back.
Dempsey is determined that there
| will be no more damage done to his
eye.
Fight Specials From West.
Information which has reached
| is to the effect that the ban placed
on specials to the big fight provides
only that trains shall not be run from
| the east. Trains from the west, it is
asserted, will not be halted. The rea-
son for this, it was explained. is that
| troops are being moved westward ir
| large numbers.
So far. according to Tex Richard
10 special trains have been provided
| to bring spectators to Toledo for the
| bout. No information has been re-
ceived from an official source that
these will be forbidden.
Jess Willard is feeling so good ovel
the way he is rounding into condition
| that he has sent for Mrs Willard with
an invitation that she come prepared
| to stay and watch the fight. He had
| insisted that he would not have her
| here, but evidently has become con-
fident that he will win.

FEEDING VALUE OF SOY BEAN
Seed Contains From 80 to 46 Per Cent
Protein and Compares Favorably
With Other Feeds.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The feeding value of soy-bean seed,
which contains from 30 to 46 per cent
protein, is very high and compares
favorably with other concentrated
feeds. The growing Of soy-bean seed
win enable the farmer to produce at
moderate cost at least part of the
high-protein concentrates necessary for
stock feeding and milk production.
When fed to sheep and hogs the beans
can be fed whole, but in general 1t is
preferable to crack or grind them.
Practical experience has shown that
1t Is necessary to mix the beans with
corn or peas first and then grind to-
gether into meal. Owing to the high
content OF protein, soy-bean seed
should always be fed In mixture with
q less concentrated feed.

that the farm bureau of this and other
