Who Leads the Crickets?

An individual cricket chirps with no
great regularity when it is by itself.
and its chirping is intermittent, es-
pecially in the daytime. At night,
however. when great numbers of crick-
cts are chirping. the regularity Is as
tonishing; one hears all the crickets
in a field chipping spontaneously,
keeping time as if led by the wand of

Improved Showing Of st. Paul
Phantom Brings Admirers
Flockhg to His Heels.

st. Paul, MIMI, Nov. 21.-Middlc-
weight Champion Mike O'Dowd and
Mike Gibbons, the st. Paul phan-
tom, yesterday completed their
training for their 10 round bout TO-
night. so far as boxing is concern
ed. Both fighters declared they
were at weight and in top-notch
condition.
The prevailing odds, have in
creased to 10 to Z, on Gibbons. Is
q consequence Of his improved
showing this week. One reason
given for the fact that Gibbons has
become the favorite is the opinion
of some experts that ODowd's
wide open style will prove an as
set for Gibbons provided the phan-
tom can prove he Is the wonderful
boxer he was three years ago.

he will follow . hard, rugged life
and try to shake OF the laziness,
which seized him during his train
ing season in Toledo.
willard simply would not work
hard at that time and when any
one tried to advise him to get down
to business he simply laughed at
them. He feels pretty badly about
that fight and is out for revenge.
That is what I think he wants to
see me about"
Aim at Fulton Bout.
Richard said that he did not be-
lieve that willard would try to
take on Dempsey when he thinks
he is in shape, but will probably
look for fight with Fred Fulton.
Rickard says . fight between Full

match in this country.
The promoter says that first VIII

tic that he has gotten over his
laziness and il willing to buckle
down and get into shape.

for the contest, after
it apparently had fallen through.
When the boxers first received Of
fers to meet in a 10-round contest.
O'Dowd was offered IS per cent.
He refused. An offer of 40 per cent
of the gross receipts also was re-
jected by the champion.
O'Dowd demanded a nat guarar.
tee Of $4,000. Gibbons then agreed
to fight O'Dowd for so per cent Of
the gross receipts and it was stipu-
lated that he must pay O'Do:<d $751;
900 out of his earnings. Gibbons
has deposited this sum In q local
ank.
After O'Dowd signed an agree
ment to fight for $4,000, without
any additional concessions, Glib
bons arranged to have motion pic

learned of this arrangement this
week and according to officials OF

fight unless he receives Is per cent
of the picture receipts. Gibbc.1s

Credit Is Convenience

Retail merchants in extending credit to their customers FOR THE CUSTOMERS CONVEN- IENCE have been imposed upon. Thousands and thousands of dollars have been lost-BE- CAUSE SOME PEOPLE PLACED NO VALUE ON HONOR.
 UNSCRUPULOUS MEN AND WOMEN have taken advantage of the confidence bestowed upon them by the merchants and BEAT them out of fortunes.
 To eliminate this imposition and make it impossible for FOLKS WHO DO NOT PAY THEIR BILLS to obtain credit, the MERCHANTS CREDIT AS- ISOLATION was formed.
 Every member of this associa- tion has a credit rating of their customers BASED ON HOW THEY PAY THEIR BILLS. These ratings go through a clear ing house, which gives the clear ing house a record how every GUS toner of every store in Bi11ning- ham pay their bills with every store.
 It's complete sum total of the value every customer places on HONOR. This information is sent out in full every week to every member of the association.
 If a certain individual lags on one or more accounts every mem Der is informed and credits that individual in the future ac- cordingly. On the other hand, when the individual pays his bills promptly his rating becomes es- tablished and his credit autonat- ically goes unquestioned.
