TOLEDO Doomed
Toledo. where the bout Is being
staged. has become the big city of
the country during the past month.
More than $4,000 visitors have
thronged the Ohio city to witness the
struggle for the heavyweight honors.
These are the outstanding features
Of the biggest fight OF recent years.
Perhaps no ring event has been more
undecided as to the winner than the
present encounter. Willard. the
champion. is a man in the neighbor
hood OF 40 years OF age. while Demp-
sey, the favorite of the masses, is a
youngster OF "a. Willard is a huge
bulk Of a man. a man without a
fighting heart who is engaged in the
buainess of mitt singing for the
amount OF money he gets out Of it.
Dempsey Is a fighter pure and

size is the only thing that ever
brought him into the game. He never
beat anyone with any class with the

THINKS PROBE WOULD
HELP HOG GROWERS
SENATOR HARRIS INTRODUCES
RESOLUTION TO INVESTIGATE
ACTIVITIES OF PACKERS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Investi-
cation by the federal trade commits
sion of alleged discrimination in
Southern states by the meat packers
against live stock producers was pro-
posed in a resolution introduced to-
day by Senator Harris, of Georgia.
Protests which live stock men have
been making over the decline in the
price of beef cattle while meats have
been constantly advancing have
availed little, despite the work of
members of congress to bring about
some adjustment that will save the
cattle raisers from ruin.
There is also protest from hog
raisers in the South over the discrlm-
inati0n which is made against pea
nut-fed hogs, prices on these hogs
being considered lower than hogs fat
tened on other foods.
The resolution introduced in the
senator Thursday by Senator Harris
reads chat the federal trade COM
mission be authorized and directed to
make an immediate investigation of
the methods of purchase and prices
paid for cattle and swine by persons
and corporations engaged in the meat
packing industry, with particular ref
erence to determinations, if any,
operating to the disadvantage of live
stock producers in the Southern
states and to make report to the sem
ate as soon as possible"

SOUTH'S PEANUT CROP
PROMISES TO Be LARGE
ALABAMA LEADS IN PRODUC-
TON OF COOLERS, WHILE
GEORGIA COMES THIRD.

The South's peanut crop this year
promises to be million bushels
larger than last years. Forecasts
of the crop in the various states, just
announced by the department of ag-
riculture, which bases it's estimate on
conditions existing July /, show a
total crop of 1851, 900 bushels,
compared with 54,434,000 bushels
last year.
Alabama leads as producer,
growing more than one quarter OF
the country's output, but her crop
this year shows a decrease of l.,
100000 bushels from last year. All
the other peanut-growing states east
of the Mississippi river excepting
Florida also show smaller crops this
year, while the states west of the

CAPITAL SPECULATES
OVER THE new JUDGE
Assured, However, Confirmation Will
Be Held Up Unless Senator Hoke
Smith Approves Appointee.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-While
neither the Georgia senators would
today give any information regard
ing the matter except in a general
way it has been learned that the
white house is expected to send to
the senate the nomination of the new
federal judge for the northern dis
trict of Georgia this week.
There are many rumors current
here as to agreeing of the senator's,
but like everything else connected
with these matters there is little re-
liable information. It's said that this
nomination will not be delayed be-
cause of the fact that Judge Will
liam Newman is anxious that the
new man be appointed to assist him
with his work.
Until a nomination is made the
matter of confirmation is entirely
a matter of speculation is assured by
Senator Smiths attitude-that I'M
less the new appointee meets his APP
proval the matter may be indefinitely
hung up in the senate.
