EMPSEY-M|SKE
BATTLE MAY END
WITH NEW CHAMP

Both Dempsey and Miske are on
edge for the coming battle which may
give the world a new heavyweight
champion. Dempsey, while confident,
knows that Mondays fight will be a
ring battle indeed, while Miske, al
though not too confident, is almost
sure that he will at least be able to
''stave off the drives of the champion.
Dempsey is going through most
rigorous course of training at his
quarters near Benton Harbor, where
the fight is to be staged, and is taking
even better care of himself than he
did before his fight last year with Jess
Willard on the Fourth of July, 1919.
Miske will go into the ring, his
trainers say. a new man. Miske has
been under the weather for some time,
and it is but recently that his physi
cal troubles were discovered. Miske
was suffering from a spinal trouble
and from weak kidneys. How he ever
stayed up as he did is mystery to
fighting men everywhere. Now Miske's
trainers claimthat under treatment of
a specialist he has been made over,
and that he will step into the Benton
Harbor arena in a better condition
physically than he has ever before
entered a ring. Miske is not over
certain, but, as he says, Dempsey
has got a chin, just like everybody
else, and if l can land on something
is going to crash"
The betting, of course, is heavily
in favor of Dempsey.

TEXAS-OKLAHOMA BOUNDARY
rlGHT BIG LEGAL BATTLE
(By Associated Press

AUSTIN, Sept. 2.-One of the great
est legal struggles the United States
tas ever known will develop from the
Texas Oklahoma boundary suit now
pending in the United States Supreme
court, according to C. w. Taylor, Texas
assistant attorney general. The Unit
ed States, Oklahoma and Texas claim
jurisdiction over the land involved.
None of the factions in the three
cornered fight is advancing claims for
definite bodies of land this early in
the struggle. In a general way Okla
homa claims that the south bank of
the Red River as it flowed in 1918
when the treaty between Spain and
the United States fixed the boundary
between their respective holdings is
the line. The United States supports
the Oklahoma contention where Indian
lands ar involved and claims jurisdic-
ton over these lands. Texas contends
that the center of the present river bee
is the boundary
These conflicting claims leave the
title to strip of land along the me-
andering Of the river for at least 500
miles in doubt. Only the length OF
tic strip is definitely set out in the
claims. It's width varies from a few
feet to several miles.

HOUSES NEEDED

Probably no maker laws has had experience in
nor rshand knowledge of the house building indus
try than Senator Calder of New York.
The house shortage from solution, according the
senator This is the United States he argues
it is elsewhere.
Nothing much has been done bring the house supply
uD to the demand, Calder asserts.
lie suggests two governmental helps:
l. EXemptng from taxation the income from real estate
mortgages, and
p An mediate investment Of $4,000 100000 in buildings.
At least the major part OF this investment, he urges,
should be made by the government for 1T impossible TO
build home for those earning low wages salaries
cost which will allow it to be rented sold without loss
There has been increased production in everything
Calder points out excepting house tulding. This in
dustry has stumbled along slowly and the nation today is
far from the end of the house shortage last
year"
Since the senator first demanded action by congress
house building has slumped still This during the
period usually most productive in the building industry
The result has been house demand far larger than the
supply condition profitable alone to the rent-rasng
landlord.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-GaIves-
ton. Texas, took second rank among
ports of the United States in the value
of exports during the fiscal year ended
last June 30. The total value of its
foreign shipping as given by the de-
partment of comm cree was 1898 $780,
227 or nearly double those in 1919 and
greater by three times than those in
1918.
Nearly half Of all the exports from
the whole country was sent out of New
York, the value being 1888 ,63S, S,588 or
$3.50, 100000 greater than the exports
the year before and nearly $l,000,000,-
900 more than those in 1918.

Vox PopuH

Imperial Valley Press, Ell Centro, Cal.
l cannot agree with the theory
laid down in your editorial of August
27, that deals with reforestation.
The cut of timber In the United
States since 1907 has decreased 13,000,-
100000 feet or more than % per cent
decrease. 1t is quite probable that a
like decrease of cut will be made by
1888, as metal is rapidly taking the
place of wood.
The stand of timber in the United
States now is equal to 80 years cut
of the size of 1918. Thus the stand
of today without growth, will last until
the year 1000. The growth, and the
decreased annual cut of the future,
will make the timber on the timber
land of today last for many centuries
at least. 1t is claimed that from the
545,000,000 acres of timber land in
the U. S. 200 board feet of lumber can
be taken annually from each acre with
uC decreasing the stand. In other
words the growth will offset that cut.
Therefore 100000, 100000 board feet,
CT more than three times the 1918 cut
of 100000, 900 board feet, can be
taken annually. So the advise is to
spectators, don't buy timber land to
hold.
The iron horse, the wire fence, the
iron fence post, the cement side walk,
the cement and brick buildings, the
wire lath, decrease in the use Of wood
n making wagons, and farm machin-
cry, ETC., has knocked timber in the
nast. and will knock it more in the
future. Therefore the timber, without
any reforestation, will need to be
wasted in order to clear the land for
agricultural nurnoses in the future.

1t is only the blind and the rabid
fanatics of the Old World who
still cling to it as a panacea. Bis

gent of the Junkers, who in his

against the middle, had surely
had occasion to learn just what
anti-Semitism will do and what
it will not do. And he said that
the conservatives, in their at

anti-Semitism chad got hold of

But I doubt whether it will prove

ZIONIS rs ACCOMPLISH
FOUR BIG THINGS AT
CONFERENCE.

CONFERENCE.
Of the many tasks attempted
by the Zionist conference just
concluded here four may be con-
sidered as really notable achieve
ments, epoch making in the
movement.
One - the conference recon
structed the old organization to
meet the new situation created
by the organization of the new
Jewish state. In the past the
Zionist movement has been chief
1y propagandistic; it has become
administrative and practical. By
adopting the Brandeis program
for the participation of non-Zion-
lists in the building of the new
state it broadens it's task to the
cooperation of all Jewry.
Two-In transferring the chief
departments and executives to
Palestine, the immigration to
that country, its colonization and
immediate development become
the center of the entire movement
and a nucleus for the govern
mental organization of the new
state is laid. In the past, with
headquarters elsewhere, settle
ment in Palestine, the real intent
of the movement, was never ac-
comp1ished.
Three-American Zionism has
come into the movement and
with the British Zionists has as
sumed the leadership, supp1ant
ing the German. Instead of be-
ing merely a fund to finance the
movement, the American branch
is now an integral and practical
ly dominating part of it. The
selection of Justice Brandeis as
honorary president would have
meant little, if he. and his asso--
ciates, Weizmann and Sekoloff,
had not been included in the for
nation of the executive commit
tees and other dominant non
Zionist boards, which gives them
practically control and assures
American Jewry fair represen-.
tation in all the decision of the.
movement.
Four-The decision to raise
$100,O00,OO0 fund, while at pres
ent not realized, means with the
new leadership adequate fnanc-
ing for the new state. These
make the conference historic.

cent, whereas large part of the
dividends was paid out of the capital
stock of the company, he charged.
In April, 1918, and later he paid
$77 800 for the shares of stock, and in
May, 1914, the company became In
solvent. He received dividends
amounting to $4,000, and asked judg-
ment for the rest. He alleged that
he was also promised salary of $12,-
600 year as vice president. The
suit was originally filed against Frank

Something near forty persons were
here from Wayne county Sunday.
Rev r. L. Russell arrived here
with his wife Friday. Brother Rus
sell preached Friday night with great
force and seemed very glad to get
back "home" as he calls the Arcadia
Assembly. Bro. Russell has done as
much as any one man to make Ar
cadia the mountain top of religious
information and enthusiasm it has
become.
There has been conducted this year
at Arcadia one of the most magnifi-
cent schools of instruction for Sun
day School workers ever assembled
in Missouri. The best talent of the
nation has come to this beautiful
place to constitute faculty to in
struct US how to teach our classes so
the pupils will receive training as to
how they can better social conditions
and finally reach the goal of all good

pupils will become earnest Christians.
More than 80 were enrolled in these
classes, besides meny visitors who

picked. Within three months from
the time he had made heavy invest

"One cannot read the record in this
case without reaching the conclusion
that Morrow was sent for in 1918 for
the deliberate purpose of using and
fleeing him and his friends who
chanced to possess some of this
worlds goods. Morrow was used tc
unload Franklin's stock, who de-
liberately left him holding the sack

Roosevelts Strength.
(Cleveland Plain Dealer.)

Franklin D. Roosevelt brings
strength to the Democratic national
ticket. The convention chose wisely
in picking him as running mate for
the Governor of Ohio.
The vice presidential candidate has
many of the traits that endeared
Theodore Roosevelt to the American
people. BY and large, he is the same
kind of American. Further, the
career of Franklin D. Roosevelt so
far affords some striking parallels
with the early career of his famous
kinsman.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been fighter
for clean politics from the time ne
entered as candidate for the state
Senate from metropolitan district.
When he organized his famous in
surgent stand in the Legislature to
prevent the election of Sheehan to
the United States Senate, held it to-
gether in spite of tremendous pres
sure and finally defeated the Tam
many candidate, New York realizee
the kind of man this new Roosevelt
was. Still later, when he helped te
organize the Empire State Democ'
racy, so-called, for the purpose o
resisting the reactionary elements Q
his party, New York got anothe'
chance to measure the fighting quail
ties Of Franklin d. Roosevelt.
