No Color Line for Sullivan.

The Oft repeated assertion that Sui
Ivan drew the color line and for that
reason refused to meet Peter Jackson
has not only been disproved by W. F.
Corbett, the Sydney boxing authority,
but he has Furnished proof that Sullivan
and Jackson were once in the prelimi-
nary stages OF match. Corbett says:
I'm April, 1890. a telegram from John
L. Sullivan 10 President Fulda Of the
California Athletic Club was published.
II read: sullivan will accept California
clubs proposition after Mississippi az
fair Is settled on Juno % next. Winner,
to take ALI
Jackson n once intimated hfsWt,r-
ingness TO hitch up with the Boston boy
as soon as the club was prepared to
stage the match. The Mississippi AFFAIR
TO which Sullivan referred was the legal
trouble over his prize ring fight with
Jake Kilrain.
"As showing how definitely made the
match between Peter Jackson and Sui
Ivan appeared 10 California people I
quote part OF column ot reference 10
II which appeared In the Californian
Athletic NetcS. The editor said The
country will soon be alive with the jack
son sullivan contest. In spite OF all tho
fiattering offers from other places Calf

will set the whole sporting world a-talk-
ing I want to see II take place. 1t will
transfer big bunch of laurels from
America 10 Australia. John l.. has not
downed Peter Just yet, and We are not
going 70 believe he can do so until
Peters seconds throw UP the sponge"
Although the California A. C. tried
hard TO get Sullivan TO make good his
original declaration OF willingness TO
meet Jackson the officials were unable
to induce the American champion to
sign articles and the match fell through

on. 4 want to SOW it to cowpeas next
summer and put a little corn with it
and hog off again and sow to wheat in
the fall. then SOW red clover in Feb
ruary. The land needs subsoiling and
lining"
; Ten to II pounds OF red top and to
8 pounds Of japan clover is the best
combination for pasture on poor re-
claimed land. Orchard grass seeded
on the. new ground part of the field
would probably improve the pasture.
Orchard grass should be sown only
upon ground Of good fertility. 1t is
also possible that red, alsike, or white
clover, or combination Of these,
might be used to advantage on the beT-
ter parts of the field. If the land is
rolling and inclined to wash. it may
be necessary to SOW a light seeding
of spring oats with all Of these grasses;
otherwise it would be better for the
grasses and clovers to be sown alone
without the oats. All except the Japan
clover should be sown in late February
or early March; the Japan two or three
weeks later.
In hogging of, use soy beans In
stead of peas.
1T is doubtful IL the Improvement Of
the soil, by the plan suggested, would
be sufficient to insure a stand of red
clover. If the land Is in need of lime,
It will require considerable amount
of manure to take the place of lime,
and under average conditions one
would not be justified in trying for
clover without lining.
Did you handle YOUR pasture this
way?

The VICTORY LOAN
MUST Be FLOATED---
WE'LL FINISH THE JOB
Fathers And Mothers OF Boys Who
Risked All Will See That The
Bills Are Paid

The Victory Loan, fifth and last of
the national Liberty Loans, will be
put over in the campaign beginning
April q and continuing three weeks;
US enthusiastically and completely as
were the preceding loans. That Is GER
tain, as indicated by the responses
rom the loyal workers who are ready
10 give their services to their country
until the job is finished and the bills
all paid
4 Whatever spirit OF "let down" that
may have followed the signing of the
armistice is rapidly disappearing. and
The whole country is awakening to the
realization that the war is not over and
will not be over until the last of the
American soldiers is safe at home
again and every dollar of the gigantic
war bill paid The fathers and moth
ars of the boys who went overseas or
to camp, who risked their lives for
their country--and many OF them gave
life or llmb--will not quit until the
Job Is finished, any more than the sol
tliers quit over there.
The Victory Loan campaign will
soon be on. The government has de
cided upon five billion dollar issue of
short term securities, to be repaid
within five years. and bearing attrac
tive interest rates. Secretary Glass
believes this form of security will com.
mand better market price after the
campaign than would bonds issued for
a longer term of years.
Every man in the country will be
asked soon to subscribe to the Victory
Loan. 1t is time TO be getting ready
for 1t.

One of the freaks that mariners have
to contend with is silence lanes in
fogs. These lanes not only retard the
sound of foghorns, but stop 1t entire
ly. A lookout man on ship may not
be able to hear the foghorn of close
by vessel if his ship is in one Of those
silence lanes.in time to give warning
Of its proximity.
1t sometimes happens that there is
a zone through which the sound car
ries exceptionally well, and the look
out men of vessels In such a zone are
unable to judge the distance away Of
another vessel, whose foghorn they
hear so distinctly.

oUEsTIoNNAIRE
ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE
PERPLsxfNe PROBLEMS or
THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA.

Query.-The government has launched
an educational campaign TO encourage
building in order to put more men to
work. Would not a similar movement to
show hew the old structures can be best
and most economically repaired and made
good as new also help7
Answer.-It Is learned that such a
plan is in effect and IS linked directly
with the Washington propaganda
Industry must be turned back from
works of war to the ways of peace.
Employment must be found. in the,
meanwhile, for those whose occupa,
ton has been interrupted. There IL no
real surplus of labor in the United
States Rather there Is shortage,
which would be acute If normal condi-
ditiOns were already restored, and one
step towards restoring them will come
with resumption of repair work.
Government restrictions, imposed by
the necessities of the war program.
have for many months past retarded
or altogether prevented construction,
improvement and repairs. These re-
strictions are now off, and there is
scarcely town, city, factory,
dwelling or farm that does not reveal
a crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action ex-
cept the feeling that prices are high
for the time being and may be lower.
That is not logical. No matter what
it costs to repair, the cost is less than
the cost of neglect No matter what
the cost Of paint, the wind and the
weather will collect higher bill In
deterioration and decay

Query.-What do you think OF paint as
an Investment. aside from the appearance
It lends? Does 1t really PAY to paint a
house regularly. say. every three or four
yearsf
Answer.-Good paint properly APP
piled when needed is the main; thing in
making house last long and we'll A
house worth $500 can be painted at a
cost Of about sl25. In 90 years that
house will need, about 10 paintings,
the total cost of which will be $1,895.
Left without paint, such house would
fall into complete ruin in 30 years. So
taking 60 years as a basis for our iig-
ures we find that with paint home
will last that time in good condition
and will cost, plus paint, $4.375., With
out paint the house would have to be
rebuilt at the end Of 80 years and
would be ready for another complete
renovation when the sixtieth year ar
rived. Cost. without paint, $1,000 for
a home ready to fall to pieces, Does
regular painting pay? AS the old
Dutch adage says:

THE PATCH ON The
MORklNCMANTS PANTS


There's patch is tins vide world o
ours.
You can find them wherever vol
look,
There are patches of onions, pota
toes and beans,
And everything else that you car
cook.
There are cucumber patches and
patches of dirt,
And many more patehes perchance,
But the patch that sing is differ
ent thing,
The patch on a workingman's pants.
1t begms on the front when he's
working each day,
And the cloth rather threadbare has
grown, H
So his wife puts patch on beneath
the worn spot, SS l'
So neatly it would hardly be known,
Butthe cloth wears away from the
patch day by day,
And in size there's a steady advance,
Oh itgrows day by day in a sorrow
full way
Does the patch on the workingman's
pants. e
And at last the time comes when
they cannot be fixed,
And the wife shakes her in de-
SPAR,
Then brvvely goes at it to mend
them again,
There's no money to buy new pair,
For the children need clothes and
they all must have shoes
And the rent must be paid in sd
vance,
SO still larger piece must, go in at
! the knees, ~
To the patch on the working mans
pants.
There's sadder day still when he
loses his job,
And the mill is shut down for re-
pairs,
And the patch is transferred to a
different place
On the part which his idleness wears.
And whichever way the poor fellow
may turn,
His trouble is seen at glance,
Face which way he may then his
woe bell DISPLAY,
There's a patch on both sides of his
pants.
There's good time to come when
the poor whose work
Fills the world With treasure and
pelf,
No longer shall shrink in his seedy |
patched clothes,
But shall have what he makes for
himself.
Let US preach the great doctrine of
brotherly love,
And demand for each poor man a
chance,
Then their banner unfurled shall
cover the world
ike the patch on the working mans
pants.

PAINT PAYS FOR ITSELF"

Query.--I have a quantity of old paint
on hand. Can use it for the first coat in

Answer.-On no account should old

Old paint in that condition is best used
on fence, brickwork or tinwork. If
you value your. barn sufficiently to
paint it, do 1t the justice Of u good job.

Determined to Uncover
Whole Story of Mexican
Infringement on Patents

Washington, August 9.-Determined
to uncover the whole story of the rel
ations between the United States and
Mexico, including facts of Mexican
arrangements on American rights
during recent years. the three mem
bers of the committee named late
yesterday by Chairman Lodge, of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
were preparing preliminary plans for
their work. The committee, con-
sisting of Senator'S Fall, New Mexico
and Brandegee, Connecticut, Repub-
lican, and Smith, Arizona, Democrat
was appointed under authority
granted by a resolution adopted in
the Senate and of which Senator King,
of Utah, was the author.
While the investigation by the sub
committee Will go into every phase
of the Mexican situation and will take
many months to complete, it was ex-
pected that only preliminary features
would be dealt with pending dispo-
sition of the Treaty with Germany
Tentative plans include hearings to
be held at points along the border
as members of the committee desire
to get first hand information concern
ing ANY and all acts of the govern
ments of Mexico and its citizens in
derogation of the rights of the u, S.
and its citizens.
