The Right Honnr-c William ". r.
win. postmaster Of Wheeling. Is having
his troubles these days. You see, two
or three hundred Wheeling folks back in
August ordered some thirteen hundred
cases of war department foodstuffs and
paid William W. tho neat sum of $500.
This looked like fine business" to the
p. m. who proceeded To clear out the big
basement Of tho federal building, which
hc proposed to turn into n food store.
Clerks were hired. and everything was
set" for the busy time that was to
come in ten days more or less.
But the ten days passcd-also another
tcn-and then still more--in fact up to
the present time eight weeks since the
hulk of the Wheeling orders were taken.
only twenty odd cases Of tho thirteen
hundred cases of expected foodstuffs
have been received and delivered by
Mt. Twins minions.
Postmaster General Burlcson, who
must nc getting used to il. has been
hauled over the Goals by angry ones who
have interviewed the postmaster. Tho
big Texans reputation for inefficiency
surely has been added to in this burg Of
Wheeling.

that's natural-but perhaps there's more

third round on Mickey gave almost
as good as he received.
1t was a great show from every
standpoint and the fans fled out of
the Empire with a satisfied feel
ing. From the first prelim, when
Kid Fisk outpointed Bum Sells, the
fans were given some real enter
tainment. Fisk plainly showed
himself the better man of the two
and his work made a big hit with
the fans.
Some Real Action.
Adair was the favor:te before
the principals entered the ring, but
with the first few seconds of fight
ing this feeling simmered down
even among his most ardent ad-
mirers. Mickey surprised his fol-
lowers from the start Adair was
cool and collected throughout the
entire contest, although this is no
criterion that he proved the better
ring general. It was simply a case
of Mickey proving too tough a
proposition, and after the third
round there were no indications of
a knockout
Mickey's best blows were landed
on the body and his short arm
jabs to the stomach slowed up his
