Mitchell to Try Again.
Milwaukee. Wis. June 17--Richie
Mitchell, the Milwaukee lightweight,
plans to lay aside his boxing gloves
until the opening of the fall cam
Paign, when he hopes to land a re-
turn match with Lew Tender, the
Philadelphian.
Mitchell. with his brothers has
established training camp at a
nearby lake and intends to spend the
summer roughing it. The lion heart
ed battle Mitchell fought against the
hardy Tender made him an idol
among his admirers who are con-
vinced that he might have held his
Philadelphia foe even. and perhaps
beaten him, were It. not for the
fact that he received such an
ugly cut on the lip so early
in the contest. 1t was necessary to
take thirteen stitches to close the
wound. | Because he was weakened
thru the loss of blood, his handlers
wanted to stop the contest but
Mitchell gamely pleaded to continue.
The receipts OF the contest We're
$31, 969.50 The match drew the Sec
ond largest crowd that ever witness
ed a bout in Milwaukee. MitchelIs

more than $4,000.

Far flying shapes peopled the hills on

SHOCKED CORN GOOD SlLAGE
RefiIling SIio With Surplus Even in
Middle of Winter is Most Eco
nomicaI Practice.

Corn cut at the proper time and
put into the shock can be made into
good silage, even in the middle of the
winter" says Alvin Kezer of the agron-
omy department of the Colorado
Agricultural college. "Of course, such
silage will not be as palatable as when
sliced early and there will be more
mechanical waste of leaves and other
parts of the corn plant because the
shocked corn had been stored for part
of the winter either in the shock or In
stacks. But if this dry fodder is run
through silage cutter and the proper
amount of water run in with IL, 1t Will
make good silage and a much more
palatable feed than the dry fodder,
which will be eaten by the stock with
less waste.
Sometimes, shocking the surplus
corn after the silos are filed and re
filling from the shocked corn is a very
economical practice, a practice worth
remembering, especially when the
capacity of the silos is not great
enough to take care of the entire crop.
1t is good way of improving q yalu-
able feed"

VERMIN CARRY HOG DISEASES
Lousy Animal VIII Consume Morn
Feed Than Clean One, According
to Many Experiments

A hog affected with lice can't make
as profitable use of his feed as one
that is free from this pest. No sue
cessful hog man will dispute this
statement; yet. judging from the con.
dition of some farmers hogs, it is
doubtful whether all realize that II
really costs money to feed lice. How
ever, feeding experiments have been
conducted from time to time which
show plainly that lousy hog con-
sumes more feed per pound of gain
than clean hog. This loss of feed,
however, is not the only reason for
keeping hogs free from lice. Lice are
also disease carriers. They will carry
Infection from one hog to another and
that, perhaps. is as strong a reason for
holding lice in check as any other.

ArsenIcal dip, such as is used to

DEBATE DECISION
 10 STATE NORMAL

Paul Brawner and Ernest Ninson, debaters representing the State Nor nal School, not only won the decision from Northwest Oklahoma Normal at Tahlequah last night, but the unani- nous vote of the judges, according to telegrams received here this morning. Dean D. McBrien, head of the debat- ing council, who accompanied them, wired that the Normal speakers made clean sweep, and were accorded the vote of all three judges. The team is expected to return here Sunday morning. The question of the debate was: Resolved, That settlement of all labor disputes by arbitration should be made mandatory by legisla- tive enactment,' the Arkansas Normal upholding the affirmative.
 The decision gained over Northwest Oklahoma is the second one for the local school in as many contests. Two other debates will be held before the close of the year in May, one team meeting West Tennessee Normal of Memphis at Conway and the other team meeting Ouaehita College at Ark adelphia. Since inter-collegiate de- bates were started at the State Nor nal, its teams have been uniformly successful, and their victories have done much to elevate it into the first rank as an educational institution.
