Billy Gibson, the very verbose man
ager of Benny Leonard, lightweight
champion of this planet and all the
rest of the "57 varieties Of the solor
system. is one of those little rays of
sunshine who can eat a doughnut,
Aunt Eleanor Ann, without ever MOTTO
ing the hole in it, as we were remark
ing to you few weeks ago before
we were so rudely interrupted by the
arrival Of "Sherrif" McGeehan. In
other words, Will-yum is an optimist.
Last night we received a telegram
(sixty-four words, "collect') from
Billy, dated at Joplin, Mo-, where
Benny fought a ten-round bout with
Harvey Thorpe, the best lightweight
ever born and raised in Joplin, on
Wednesday night.
According to neutral experts at the
ringside Benny won all the way from
the Joplin jugeernaut, in a bout that
was about as exciting as Philadelphia
on Sunday afternoon in June. All
that can be said about "Friend Har-
vey" is that he acted as catcher and
Benjamin as pitcher, and his average
behind the "bat" was exactly the same
as Benny's at the "plate,' .6s7. In
other words, Harvey caught every one
that Benny tossed at him. and at the
end his face looked like q first cousin
to ali overripe tomato.
But Billy Gibson huns a different
tune over the telegraph wires. Says
Will-yum an one Of the most SEN
sational fights ever seen in tn ia city
Harvey Thorpe managed to last the
ten rounds against champion Benny
Leonard in spite Of the f&ct that to
Leonard's credit went each and every
round. Thorpe is one OF the toughest
birds in this section of the country,
but WAS outclassed from start to finish.
Bout drew close to eight thousand"
All we can say in rebuttal, Will
yum, is that the birds of Joplin must
be very tender.

FARM HELP.

The U, S. Boys Working Reserve
is again actively preparing to give
special help to the farmers of Mary
land during the summer and early
autum. The Department of Labor
through the Reserve is enrolling the
older high school bows of Baltimore
city and the towns of Maryland for
this service.
Last year the Reserve had many
more demands for help than it could
possibly meet, The demands for
young men in the commercial and war
industries of the city were so great
that it was impossible to enroll enough
of them to meet the requests for their
services. This coming season the
number of boys available will be much
greater and the Reserve hopes, there
fore, to be of even more value to the
farmers of the state than it was last
year.
The Reserve motto of Select boys
for select farms" sums up in brief the
policy of this branch of the L. s.
Employment Service. Boys sent out
are vouched for by the school auth
critics and can be taken into the far
mer's home and mingle with his family.
On the other hand, no boys will be
furnished to farmers until the State
Board of Health has inspected the
farm and reported it as safe and
healthy place for the boys to work.
The young men sent out through the
Reserve are between l6 and 81 years
of age, all old enough and able to he
of real service. many of them are
fully capable of doing a mans null
share and all are considerably higher
intelligence than the usual class of
farm help. Farmers who employed
them last summer and autumn were
pleased at results.
The quickness in learning and the
spirit of service which leads the boys
to engage in this work soon overcome
the handicap of inexperience which
may attach to them when they first en-
gage in farm labor. Many OF those
who have enrolled for work this year
will have the benefit of their last sum
meris experience.
These boys will be ready to start
