cities. When the urban dweller pays
forty cents q pound for pork chops he
immediately thinks Of the farmer as
q profiteer and the one who IS re
ceiving the big end Of that price. when
the fact is today he receives less than
one-third Of the price Of the finished
product. Beef and pork on the hoof

forming of district political party,
stated that by concerted action the
farmer could get anything within
reason that he asked for. To prove
this he cited the repeal of the day
light saving law that had proved s
hardship and injustice to the farmer.
When the movement was started to
repeal this law, Iowa, which is thor
oughly organized, sent 10000 far
mers' signatures asking for the re-

the other organized states formed the
mighty factor that repealed that law
after the presidents veto.
ssThe inception Of the Farm Bureau
took place in Minnesota some two
years ago, and in the intervening
months every county in the state has
been organized, and nearly half of
these Bureaus have already joined the

While waiting Tor me gag 10 summon
joss Willard and Jack Dempsey to the
centre of the ring. let US momentarily
turn an inquiring glance in the direction
Of Harry Wills, who In repose looks
like gladiator chiselied from anthracite.
Wills IL in full attire for combat, but
has not yet been apprised as TO the
location of the ring or the Identity OF
his opponent.
True he dreams at times of shaking
hands with Jess or Jack preparatory to
q contest for the title, but he awakes As
the picture vnnishes into thin air.
There IL a question as TO whether the
winner OF the willard Dempsey bout on
July 4 should In all fairness engage in
q passage at arms and hsts with the
black knight Of the roped square. I'm
Questionably the victor IN the Independ-
encs Day dispute will haughtily decline
to meet Wills owing to the dark COM
Ilsxion. and without reference to his
pugilistio ability. When this branch Of
the subject was brought TO the attention
OF Wills he hastened to assure Messrs
Dempsey and Willard that there was
not the slightest chance of his color
rubbing of.
I'm a fast black" he asserted, "and
on my honor as a colored gentleman
promise not TO hit any white man with
anything except the brown gloves that
will cover my hands. Isn't that fair
enough? Ifthat doesn't suit the gentle
man will use little white enamel on
my features Anything to please them"

wills said he knew that the white
boxers had drawn the color line against
him, and .ha rather expected It. But
he was pained to admit that boxers of
his own race had ostracized him pugi-
listically.

boxing qualities OF Wills tends to con-
vince the spectator that there Is method

ing shoess-weighs 220 pounds in condi-
ton for battle and has a reach like Will
lard's He is a splendid specimen OF
athletic perfection, clean limbed. with
long. flexible muscles and catlike speed
In his movements.
As a boxer no heavyweight past or
present has shown more eiill or science
than has Wills. and the precision ana
force OF his punch has been demon
strated by his quick defeat OF several

Knocked Out Langford Twice.
Two years ago. before Langford had

stopped Wills In the nineteenth round of
a terrific battle. But last year willis
knocked out Langford twice. once in six
rounds and once In seven, stopped Sam
Mcvey in five rounds and Jeff Clarke in
Eve rounds.
While all OF the victims have passed
their prime. they were the best that
Wills could lure into the ring.
Immediately after these performances
by Wills. Willard and Dempsey reat-
firmed with emphasis their repugnance
to meeting a negro IN the squared cir
Gle. and there the case stands. However,
Wills IL but 81 years OF age, and he has
hopes OF getting on battle foI the

Of England three times and the trophy
is his personal property. When Fox left

Fox has taken on considerable weight
since he left England, and not being
able 70 compete as a bantam in this
country. decided to pose as the feather
weight title holder.
Mr.. Bettinson adds that there Is a
dearth of lightweights in England. and
that the title of the class. which lapsed
when Freddie Welsh, the last holder, left
his native land, has not been reestab-
lished. Jerry Delaney, the most likely
