Jack Dempsey seems to be gaining more confidence each day in his abil- fty to defeat Jess Willard for the i heavyweight title on July 4. In statement made by him a few nights ago at York, Pa, he declared that he expects to put Willard away in about twelve or fifteen rounds. Jack works out for about half an hour each day skipping the rope and shadow boxing and also takes long walks and runs on the road in order to harden up his
 muscles. Jack Kearns, his manager, has not selected the sparring partners who will work with Jack when he be-
 gins real training for the big bat tle
 Harry Greb, the Pittsburgh fighter, will take part in another bout in the West on Friday evening, Feb. 28. He was booked up today to meet Chick" i Wiggins, the Indianapolis fighter for twelve rounds. Wiggins Is beginner in the West and shows signs of the makings of a good battler. His man ager is taking a big chance in match ing him with 8 rugged, experienced fighter like Greb.

Mary Garvin, sole support Of her
widowed mother and three small
brothers and sisters, earns her live
lihood by toiling in the Millvale fac
tory of John Bowling. Bowling,
known as the master of Millvale, is
rich, avaricious and cruel making
his money out of other peoples mis-
cry and misfortune. He secretly
employs child labor and boldly, in
defiance of people and Government,
takes advantage of war conditions
to boost prices of food.
Dowling's chief agent in the fac
tory is Bull" Thompson, big brute
who achives by physical force the
ends which his employer gains in
more refined but no less cruel ways.
Thompson's employees all are men,
women and children who live on the
border line of abject povcrty-who
work for him only through the di-
rest sort of necessity.
One day factory inspectors find
crippled child working in the place
and threaten Thompson with punish
ment. He takes his revenge on the
child for "getting caught" and when
Mary Garvin intercedes in behalf of
the little one, Thompson discharges
her. She returns home where she
finds her mother is dead-"starved
to death" is the doctors verdict.
Employees coming out of the fac
tory that night find that Bowling has
simultaneously increased food prices
and decreased wages. They protest
in vain and strike ensues, but this
is the least of Dowling's worries.
LET 'em strickland starve" is his
message. And he proceeds to pro-
mote the conditions that will lead to
starvation.
In desperation the strikers storm
Dowling's house, forcing their way
in. Bowling meets them at the head
of broad stairway and when one
of the men advances toward him,
shoots the "trespasser" down. Po-
licemen clea rthe place-and Dow
ling sneers. But he smiles little
later when Mary visits him to make
personal appeals for chnge in his
attitude toward the strikers and the
public. He tells the girl she has
walked into a trap and makes ad-
vances which cause struggle up and
down the stairway of the mansion.

VERMONT STATE FAIR
DATES FIXED

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday, September 9, 10, II, IL.
These are the dates for holding of
the Vermont State Fair at White Ri
yer Junction. an event is promis-
ed that will eclispe all previous state
fairs in Vermont, according to the
State Fair Commission, who have
and are devoting much time and
thought to the making of fair plan
ned to interest every visitor.
Several meetings of the executive
committee have been held at the Of
flee of the secretary at White River
Junction the past few weeks. The
war and the desire to save every pos
sible dollar to win the war was the
reason for not holding the State fair
the past two years. Now that the
war has been won for freedom and
democracy the State Fair Commits
sion is ambitious to make the fair thi
year the greatest in every possible
way.
Secretary Fred L. Davis is plan
ming for the best cattle exhibit ever
seen upon the grounds. 81 want to
see the finest cattle exhibit ever made
in the New England States,' said Mr..
Davis at one of the recent meetings
of the committee. 81 want to see
Vermonters represented in greater
numbers than heretofore Vermont
has come forward the past few years
in cattle raising and in buildingherds
of the finest stock The premiums
to be offered by the State Fair Com
mission are of such a liberal charac-
ter every owner of blooded stock in
Vermont, New Hampshire, New York
and in fact in every eastern state
should be attracted by them, and /
am sure that most of them will be.
But | personally would like to see
Vermont make better showing than
she has heretofore. There are many
Vermonters who have never exhibit
ed Yet,there is no reason why they
should not. If information is desire
ed about the rules and conditions
governing exhibits l will be pleased
to furnish it to any one on request,
and, further, to aid in any other way
possible to bring Vermont to the
front as state of high-grade cattle
breeding"
Trotting events will be a speciality
of the four days, with liberal purses.
Judge Hamilton T. Baldwin of Wells
River will act as superintendent of
this department. There will be on
each day a $1,000 purse, besides sew
eral other purses of lesser amounts.
Special attention will be given to
free amusements this year. Already
several leading fair attractions have
been booked. Occupants of the
grandstand are sure to be we'll paid
for their visit to the fair this year,
Commissioner George E. Mann of
Quebec is in charge of amusements.
The Morgan horse exhibit, always
a big feature of this fair, will excel
former denominations of the kind.
Morgan horse breeders in many sec
tions of the country are early getting
their Morgans in shape for the event

VERMONT THE FASCINATING

Vermont is right at your door. In
quick touch with whatever you leave.
II seen once or often, you realize that
you have only begun to enjoy it.
Have you explored the Isle La Motto
region of water and landscape, thence
to Newport on the Lake, and on to
hidden DiXville Notch and down the
ever growing Connecticut River? Or
seen Williamstown Gulf, gulf with
out drop of water in many million
years? Or seen the finest marble
quarries .(open to the public) in the
world? Have you thought to drop
a postal card to the Hon. Secretary
of State, Montpelier, VT, asking for
a set of four free profusely illust-
rated booklets of Vermont, disclos-
ing regions of lakes and beauty, not
excelled by Killarney or the Tros-
sachs? These four booklets of ex-
quisite pictures should be in every
home.
Apply for set at once. They
disclose wonderful places for sum-
mer homes, bungalos and camps, and
at good bargains.
Vermont's highways are first rate
-alway good anywhere in good
weather. Accommodations are ev-
erywhere, and highly satisfactory,
and prices are well within reason.
People who are looking forward
with equanimity to national prohi-
ton, thinking that they can easily
manufacture their own high-pow-
cred boze are doomed to a sad
awakening. The government pro
poses to take effective measures to
prosecute any person making liq-
uor in their homes. The penal
ties are very severe, fines running
from $500 to $4,000 and imprison,
