argest consolidation Of effort in the
aistory Of American relief and charita.

disaster which threatens 100000
European children this winter. To the
headquarters Of every agency that dis
penses American mercy overseas has
come one steady cry for months past;
the children, most helpless and blame
less sufferers In the track Of war. will
perish by the thousands before next
harvest unless America saves them
When DR.. Livingston Farrand, chair
man Of the Central Committee Of the
American Red Cross, returned from a
recent trip abroad, his report throbbed
with the need of the children. From
the. feeding-stations of the American
Relief Administration throughout east
ern and central Europe came letters,
cables, pleas Of every sort. The Pro-
testant churches sent investigators
into after-war conditions and every
report breathed the impending tragedy
of starving and diseased children.

child life Of Europe Is threatened with
heartrending misery.

What was probably one Of the
finest cars Of cotton seed. meal ever
shipped into Shiawassee county, was
recently brought in by the Farm
Bureau and unloaded at Owosso.
This car was one of large consign-

Bureau directly from the mills in
Texas, and is proof of the ability of
a large organization to buy cheaply

BAT NELSON THINKS
DEMPSEY GREATEST

"The old timers can chatter all they
want about Sullivan. Corbett, Fitzsim.
mons and Jeffries, but this kid Demp-
sey is the greatest heavyweight
mauler the game has ever produced"
This from Bat Nelson, old-time king
of the lightweight realm and the
toughest OF the tough. Dempsey Is
marvel, clever. fast, a terrible
puncher. There isn't a man in the
world today who can hope to beat him
or to even stay six rounds with him.
I'm tellin' you.
Inever saw Sullivan fight, but from
what they tell me, / think Dempsey
would have knocked him cuckoo in n
couple of rounds. Too slow; too slow.
Corbett would have been soft for Jack.
Couldn't stand the gaf and wasn't
rast enough, either. They say he was
clever and fast, but Jack would have
made him look as though he had
couple iron balls chained to his feet.
"As for Fitz being the hardest punch
ing heavyweight we ever had, that's the
bunk. Jack could've out-punched him
2 to 1, without an effort Two to one
without an effort, I'm telling you. Fitz
took a lot Of punishment Almost every
man he fought nailed him on the chin
and Topped him for q count II Jack
had caught old Bob he would have
stayed down. And Dempsey would have
socked him, never fear.
left could take punishment, but
Dempsey would have stopped him. I'm
tellin' YOU. And Johnson. Well, the
Big Smoke was pretty clever fellow,
but he wasn't fast on his feet Jack
would have stiffened him, too And as
for willard beating this kid when Jess
was in his prime and In shape, he never
saw the day when he could lick Demp-
sey. Don't mind what the other guys
say, I'm tellin' you.
Jacks the only real champion
we've got, too, I'm tellin' you. Leon
ards a good fighter, rbut he amt a
great Champion. Jack Britton is a
good boxer, but he don't give the
public a run. The fans don't want to
see a lot of feintin' and blockin'.
Action. Give 'em action. never
saw KiIbane fight, but they tell me
he was O. wonder. But his hands are
all busted up now and he's old and
should retire. Everybody remembers
McAuliffe because he retired, And
he couldn't fight. Kilbane should re-
tire. 1 don't know anything about
Herman. Wilson is no good. There
was something queer about his bout
with ODowd. Mike will knock him
for a goal IL they box again.
"But this Dempsey's the baby for
me. Can he fight? I'm tellin' you he
can"
