LAST LETTERS FROM THE LIVING
DEAD MAN. Written down by
Elsa Barker. New York: Mitchell
Kennerley. q


Through the medium. of automatic
writing Elsa Barker here presents
another volume of letters from the
Giving dead man" who has, at
least twice before. made use. of
this instrument OF communication
with the present temporal world.
Like its immediate predecessor,
these letters have to do with
the war-though in this case their
concern is chiefly with the effects
of the war and with the part
that America is to take in the great
readjustment that Is to follow upon
1t, Much as any high-minded, wide-
yfsioaed person might look upon this
tremendous opportunity for America,
much as such person might talk
about 1t to an intimate. does this
sIiving dead man" express himself
to the one through whom he is COM
municating. Whatever one may
think, or be willing to think, of the
Renuineness Of this correspondence.
he is not able to escape the fact that
the automatic writer herself IL COM
pIetely sincere. Since the thoughts
set down here are in no sense phe-
nomenal, differing but little from
those Of any intelligent and spiritual
the interest accruinG TO
the work is clearly the provocative
question as to the identity OF tho
writer OF the letters.

Build Bonded Warehouses

Do you know that the cotton which Is exposed to the weather is damaged to the extent of 10 to 40 pounds per bale in many in> stances for the lack of warehouse facilities for the proper storing and handling of the cotton crop? Why not build bonded ware houses and prevent the waste and damage of the cotton crop and save millions of dollars to the farmers2 Why grow and harvest a crop. then waste it? The best thing for the farmer to do to overcome this waste is to invest a small amount in the building of bonded warehouse so that his cotton may be stored and handled without waste. Bonded warehouses may be used for the storing and marketing of all farm products Other states are doing it. Why not Ar kansas? We shall be glad to ar. range for a meeting to discuss ways and means to build bonded warehouses in any county in the State For further infor nation write Jim c. Ferguson, Commis- sioner of Mines.

sationaI victory over the giant Will lard.
 Dempsey had one experience that should nave taught him that it does not pay to take chances with his con- dition. After he knocked out Fred Fulton in a few seconds of slugging Dempsey got the idea that no one had a chance with him. Then he was matched with Willie Meehan, the Frisco fat boy Four rounds looked pretty soft to Dempsey. so he failed to train properly for the bout. The result was that Meehan handed him a sound drubbing and Dempsey lost a decision that is a decidedly black mark on his record.
 When Dempsey was looking for a match with Willard one of his strongest talking points was that the champion had grown soft from lack of work.
 Willard made the mistake that every heavyweight champion has made. He allowed the opposition to gain too much strength When he finally consented to step in to sup press the rising Dempsey, he found that he had waited too long and that 1t was too late. If Willard had kept on boxing every few months he would not only have kept himself in good condition but he would have held the opponent in check.
 Ring history shows that the search for easy money has resulted in the

LONDON PRESS
 SAYS BECKETT ICTEO STUP.DLY

London, Dec. 5-Experts, in com menting on last nights fight, in which Georges Carpenter of France, knocked out Joe Beckett of England, in the first round, concur in saying that victory went to the best man and that Carpenter won by his speed and cleverness.
 Beckett's manager says Carpenter brought off million to one chance D but this is not the view of expert onlookers, the Daily Mails critic ac- cusing Beckett of sheer stupidity" "
 Beckett had, by a long way the best of the handicap" the Daily Mails "expert writes. "He was su- perior in height, weight and reach. He is a great fellow physically, but the less said about his judgment the better. Perhaps he was over-confi- dent. but anyway he gave his op- p0nent a chance which no novice would have offered. The blow with which Carpenter won was too simple for words It could have been easily avoided, and the counter to it would have been an extremely dangerous blow, yet Beckett walked right into the danger zone. What he did was simple and stupid, and there is no excuse for him"
 After Carpentier had been carried around the ring. the Prince of Wales cordially shook his hand and con graduated him. The Prince also shook Becketts hand. saying:
 Better luck next time''
