X them" this spring la
model And if you wish to
be quite in style read and heed this
little verse:
For quite some time the orchard fruit
Has rlpened on our hats 80 cute,
But now truck gardens add their charms
And products from the country farms.
The coy eucumbers crisply nest
Upon the hats that are the best
And carrots, turnips, beet-roots red
This is quite a change, indeed, and
relief from the polecat, comman cat,
rat, etc, in which we have swathed
ourselves during the winter.
NOV that the crowds are set
IN Ting somewhat, as result of
the armistice, canteeners and
other war workers are expressing
their real sentiments in most en-
phatic words. One very conservative
worker for the good of soldiers ap-
petites and entertainment declares
that some-in fact hundreds-of
these soldiers whom she has served
have perpetrated the gravest of inn
proprieties-yea, even crimes. And
she allows bigger and greener-eyed
cats out of the bag as she relates in
detail, with flashing and flaming an
ger, how, after she had stood on her
aching little feet, hungry and with
out rest, to serve hot food to these
battle-scared heroes, they would
blandly extract from a case OF relics,
a photograph of friend-wife.
Our little canteener believes that
there should be a law maxi
ing this crime punishable by, by,
death r'something, for, indeed, do
they not slay all the romance over
the canteen cups when they bring
forth some other woman's picture7
This, of course, sounds good to the
soldiers wife who has been at home
doing her duty like a man but, after
all, it isn't she who is complaining.

JACK DEMPSEY POPULAR

Jack Dempsey is the most talked
of pugilist in the game today. Not
only that but he already has signed
articles for a bout with Jess Willard.
Jess Willard is a most unpopular
worlds champion. He proved to be
the "hope" who brought the worlds
title back to the white race by de-
feating Jack Johnson and could have
become as we'll liked as John L. Sui
Ivan. But he refused to defend his
title. Not only that but he refused
to box for war charities and other
worthy causes, thereby drawing the
deserved enmity of the entire world.
But Dempsey is OF another type.
He is another Luther McCarty.
Wherever he goes he makes friends.
His personally is Of the type that
attracts. And in addition to that
his willingness to fight is cause for
admiration. IL he wins the cham
pionship from Willard there is no
doubt that he will be willing to meet
all legitimate corners, unless OF
course he gets under the control of a
professional manager. who pays too
much attention to the money end OF
the game.
Dempsey is believed by many crit
les to be the man who will take the
title from willard. His record justi-
fies this belief. Iowa fans no doubt
will want to see this wonderful boxes
and should hail with delight the OPP
portunity that will be offered them
April 25th when he appears at the
Des Moines colisuem in the Dempsey
road show.

GENE MELADY SAYS
CADDOCK STAYS IN

Earl Caddock, Cass county man
and champion wrestler of the world,
has not retired from the mat. This
is the positive assertion of Gene Me-
lady of Omaha, manager of the Crap
pier.
Melady says he has absolute as
surance from CaddOck that the lat
ter has not decided to retire, but on
the other hand will be ready to de-
fend his title as soon as he retires
from the army.
The refutation of the persistent
rumor follows an offer from Jack
Curley for $15,000.00 for match
between Caddock and Zbysko upon
the soldier champions return from
France. Curley proposes one
fall finish match and the above sum
is to be Caddock's win or lose.
The Omaha manager stated EN-
phatically that there was no truth
in the rumor that Caddock would re-
tire.
The rumor of the title holders re-
tirement gained its greatest cred
ence when il was announced from
the ring at the recent Zbysko-Lewis
match in New York City that the
men were wrestling for the heavy
weight championship on account OF
the retirement of Caddock.
The following is a statement is
sued by Melady:
81 have read some of the newspa.
per reports containing the informa
ton that Caddock had retired from
| the wrestling game. l wish tC
state that no one has any authority
| to make a statement to this effect
Earl is still in the service in France
l received a card today, stating that
it reported that Caddock was on hi.
way home, but this was not anthem
tic. However, it is my belief hi
will soon be- released and when hi
returns he will wrestle any and al
challengers for his championship
crown. Emphatically. Caddock ha:
not retired and is still the undefeat
ed champion heavyweight of the
world"

HER FIRST REAL MONEY

"This card represents my first real
money" recently said farmers wife,
with an odd look of mingled pride,
depreciation and something very like
triumph.
AT home, as a girl, had no money.
Mother bought things, for us children
with whatever money father gave her.
Since I've been married It's been much
the same. I've got things at the town
stores and Jim's paid for them. Even
my egg and butter money has gone, as
q rule, to help with the household up
keep-turned in on the grocery bill,
usually. I've never seemed able to
hold on to penny.
"But when the War Savings Stamps
came along l said to myself, Here's
your chance. Mary! And now buy
War Savings Stamps regularly, take
'em in change as regularly as l sell
chickens or cash the creamery check
at the bank. I've filled several cards
already, and can tell you gloat over
'em! When those War Savings
Stamps mature I'll have real money of
my own"

HAD AIMED LITTLE LOW

A party of gentlemen at the Park
Hotel were telling stories one night
recently of famous shots and how
many quails, cartridges, ducks and
other birds had been killed at a sin
gle shot. After listening to what
seemed a wilful exaggeration by diff
ferent narrators, stranger who was
present volunteered his experience OF
his only use of the fatal double-bar-
relied gun as follows:
II went into ahe field one day to
try cunning. The only game dis
covered was an immense flock of
blackbirds. should say there were
10, 900 of them in the flock. Slowly
/ crawled up to them, and when not
more than four rods away the birds

Different guesses were made by the
party, ranging from 20 to 100.
