HERRING AT HIS BEST

In defeating Tanning Herring showed
surprising form, and was fully 80 per
cent better than when he went against
Abe Kabakoff for a draw or when he
stopped Red Dolan, of New Orleans, He
not only had his fine right in opera
ton, but carried a far keener left than
he has ever shown. His robust consti-
tuition and eagerness to mix it kept
matters at a swift pace with the re-
suit that fans sat in at the leading
lightweight show of the season.
Even Herring's warmest admirers
were shocked at the excellent manner
In which he acted; at the fast gait he
set and at the viciousness he displayed
in boring ahead.
At the finish it was agreed among
Friday night as he hit Tanning, some

CLUB GIRL READY
To MEET Corners

The canning club work in st. Jo-
seph county has developed young
canning expert who is ready TO meet
all contestants in the art of preserv-
ing food.
In the spring Of 1917 Miss Lydia
Howblitzel of Lakeville, joined
canning club. At that time she was
Is years old and when the contest
was closed in the fall and the win
ners were determined IL was found
that she carried off the honors and
Purdue university. In st. Joseph
county it is understood that any
one winning one year in a particular
project cannot win the Purdue trip
another year in the same project
But this did not keep Lydia from
continuing her canning. So in 1918
she again took mp this work and
entered some of her products in the
open class at the South Bend fair.
When the prizes had been awarded
il was found that the girl had
triumphed over many of the veteran
Gamers. She won first prize on
pineapple. tomatoes, corn and
pickles. and second prizes on peas
currants and cherries.
Three years ago she also took up
the sewing club work but was not
successful in winning honors until
1913 when she won the trip to Pur-
due in this project. This is a good
illustration of what boys and girls
may accomplish if they are persist
ent and endeavor to improve their
work.
Now she is an "AIl-star" club
member and Is looked upon as a
leader in the community At a re-
cent meeting of about 400 BOYS and
girls OF St. Joseph county she was
elected as a delegate from her town
ship to assist in making plans for
the big doings this coming year. And
from all appearances it looks as
though the boys are keeping their
eyes upon Miss Howblitzel one Of
them nominated her for the town
ship representative and was ready to
fight for her election when the
chairman almost failed TO receive
the nomination
