Miami fight promoters are planning on using Smiling Sammy Parker against Dick Griffin at an early date. Parker beat Young Papo and Griffin gave the Pass City featherweight a like dose which figures the pair pretty good match.
 The Miami scribes are also clamor- ing for a match between Billy McCann and Tommy Carter. Billy has plenty of offers from around the country since he defeated Young France.
 One of the Miami papers figured Mo Cam set-up for Young France before the fight and insisted that Robinson and France would be the logical match. The Miami paper also insisted that France could not make the weight but he did France just balanced the scales at 135 pounds without removing his underwear or socks and Billy Me Cam failed to lift the bar. Scotty made 140 and Andy Gardner made 120 pounds The above weights were tai lied in the presence of the Republican sporting editor, the Y M. c. A. physical director and number of local sports E. Billy and his manager. Jimmy Curley, are coming back from Los this morning
 Young Ketchel was not treated with much respect in Miami according to the boxers manager and the Miami papers ketchel says he was sick, yet the Miami promoter forced him to enter the ring against Tommy Carter. and he fought for two rounds until he was too weak to stand on his feet. Even Tommy Carter tried to convince the manage ment that Ketchel was sic, but they refused to listen to him. The cIut physician pronounced him O. k and fit to fight and Ketchel says he gave him a stimulant and sent him in
 The state boxing law provides that fighter be in perfect physical condi- tion before he enters the ring and any time there is any doubt he should no be permitted to fight. Ketchel is { good cealn fighter and his past record does not show where he ever run ou of a fight. The kid was probably sicl and was entitled to some considera tion. Such affairs do not help the figh game and should not be permitted The law is clear
 i Ketchel says he will fight Carter any where in the world except Miami ts

ADVISES HOLDING
OF GRAIN
"BUILD MORE BINS AND MAKE
MORE MONEY"

Aberdeen, Jan. 22.-Fully half of
the grain produced on the farms of
South Dakota is handled by the ele-
vators run by associations of farmers
that are members of the Farmer
Grain Dealers Association of South
Dakota. This, fact was shown by f.
o. SimOnson, of Pierre, vice president
of the association, who presided at it's
annual meeting here. At the open
ing session $50 members were Tres
ent.
Demands of the association include
the abolition of government opera
ton of the railroads and the placing
of the rate making power in the
hands of the interstate commerce
commission and the state railway
commission. Secretary Charles H
Eyles, of Sioux Falls, in his report
for the year said: Government op-
Grafton has proved utterly inefficient
and the members of this association
demand rate making in less arbi-
trary fashion"
Touching on the car shortage, the
secretary recommended that farm
ers hold their grain in their bins
until such time as terminals are not
so congested and the grain can be
placed on the market at the proper
time. Build more bins and make
more money" he said.
Insurance business written for as
sociation members by the mutual as
sociation reached over $1,000.000 in
five months. Mutual workmen's s
compensation insurance and audit
ing were among the recommenda-
tions made in the report.

LEGION NOT IN
POLITICAL GAME
WATERTOWN POST TAKES STAND
AGAINST ENDORSING CANDI-
DATES OF ANY PARTY.

Watertown, Jan. 22.-In refuting
the various rumors that Codington
County post No. II, American legion.
had endorsed certain political candi-
dates, Arbie Christopherson, the post
emphatically denied such
unfounded rumors.
Among many people there is
tendency to look upon the legion as a
political organization.
while the legion is intensely in
terested in seeing good men elected
to office and in the carrying out of
certain contemplated legislation, and
the attainment of the principles of
100 per cent Americanism, No. II
has very religiously restrained from
endorsing the candidacy of any man
now in the political arena" said Mr..
Christopherson.
1--WE believe" he said, "that this
policy is conclusive to harmony in
our organization and although three
or four posts have expressed their
views on the prospective candidate
for the adjutant generals office,
which is an appointive position, 1t
will be the aim of the present admin
istration of No. II to steer clear Of
any political activity excepting that
we will advocate such measures and
policies as may be consistent with the
constitution by which we are gov
erned."
At the annual meeting this propo-
sition was discussed and it was the
prevalent opinion of the men present
that this was the proper attitude for
the post to take. Prior to that time
at an informal meeting of ex-service
men the matter was voted on, result
ing in 81 votes against endorsing any
political candidates and six in favor.

Urging Standard
Dress for Women

New York, Jan. 22.-Women were
urged to lower the cost of clothes by
abandoning the world old tradition
that they must dress "to capture the
fleeting fancy of the male" or to do
or outdo others of their sex, in an
address by Helen Louise johnson.
editor of the General Federation
Magazine before the Columbia Uni
versity Institute of Arts and Sciences.
Lower prices could be brought about.
she added in her talk on the "ethics
of dress by the adoption of a stand
ardized costume.
Man." Miss Johnson said, "can
dress properly and becomingly on a
limited number of SUITS. His rea-
soning seems to be that beauty un-
adorned is adored the most. His
clothes are far from beautiful"
Women would become less conspic-
uous and more impressive by wear
ing standard dress, she declared.

CLOTHING TRADE FOR
PRICE REDUCTION
PROPOSED PLAN OF RETAILERS
WOULD MAKE MANUFACTURER
STAND INCREASED COST.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 22.-Mate-
rial reductions in clothing prices may
be expected from nationwide adop-
tion by the clothing trade Of sugges-
tions put forward by committee of
the National Retail Dry Goods as
sociation, it was stated by Howard
E. Figg, special assistant attorney
general, after he had conferred with
representatives of the dry goods re-
tailers.
The suggestions of the retailers,
which are understood to apply to the
retail, wholesale and manufacturing
industries, will be made public. One
of the retailers proposals was said
to be that the manufacturer stand
the entire increased cost due to any
further advance in wages, the re-
taller taking the position that in
creases incident to wages can nc
longer be passed on to the public.
Assistant Attorney General Fige
and the members of the special COM
mittee of the retailers association,
at a conference lasting throughout
the day, went into the question OF
labor, middlemen, brokers, jobbers,

STERLING ATTACKS
GOMPERs
SOUTH DAKOTAN CHARGES SAM
UEL GONIPERS SEEKS FAVOR
OF EXTREME RADICALS.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Replying in
the senate to the recent criticism of
his anti-sedition bill by Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, Senator Sterl-
ing, republican, South Dakota, charg-
ed Mr.. Gompers with misrepresenting
the purposes of the measure and with
seeking the favor of the extreme radi-
calls in organized labor.
Mr.. Gompers was defended by
Senator Norris, republican, Nebraska,
who praised his loyalty and said his
criticism of the bill was justified.
Senator Sterling said it seemed to
him that Mr.. Gompers "has other
business on hand that might engage
his attention" at present without
"purposely misrepresenting" the bill.
when Mr.. Gompers or anyone
elese says that he is opposed to a law
which would prevent the advocacy of
the overthrow of government by
force or by violence" said Mr.. Ster-
ling, "Mr. Gompers or whosoever it
may be, it seems to me, puts himself
in position where his loyalty to the
government might well be ques-
toned"
Senator Norris said he thought it
came with poor grace" for Senator
Sterling to question the loyalty" of
Mr.. Gompers. Declaring that he held
no brief for the labor leader, Sena-
tor Norris said Mr.. Gompers was 10y
al to the last degree as he had dem
Onstrated during the war.
The Nebraska senator added that
the anti-sedition bill gave too much
power to government officials and
that Mr.. Gompers' criticism was jus
titled.

ERS.

The ladies Of the Methodist
church laid covers last evening for
sixty-two persons in the basement
dining room in honor of the State
Horticultural society, which closed
it's ! second days program with an
after supper session.
AS toast master, president d. B..
Gurney referred to several outstand-
ing facts in the life of DR.. Mead the
lately deceased head of the institu-
ton for the insane at Yankton. He
recalled that DR.. Mead had PLAN
ned all of the buildings of that insti-
tuition except the last one, now in
course of erection. Mr.. Gurney
spoke of him as great horticultur-
list whose interest in nature lay in
the love of trees, flowers birds and
pretty landscapes. The banqueters
were told that DR.. Mead had cured
more patinets than he had received
and that his dearest wish was to be
buried in the institutions grownuds
which he had so freely beautified and
developed. Another one of his traits
was his deep interest in the unfor-
tunates under his care. He knew the
names of all. At one time he select
ed woody spot on the lower course
of the James river for a place of
sylvan quiet and rest for the inmates
who loved the big out of doors. Mr..
Gurney proposed that the society and
friends go on record by taking action
to place picture of the departed
doctor in the big marble case at the
head of the first flight of stairs in
the woman's building. 1t was so vot-
ed and this concluded the special
business at the banquet table. The
ladies of the church are to be COM
plimented for the feast provided and
for the accompanying splendid serv-
ice of the young lady assistants.
Following the banquet the regu-
lar program of the evening was TAX
en- up after appropriate responses
were made by citizens and visitors.
Today's session concludes the an
nual meeting of the society. 1t is
regretable that weather conditions
have not favored large attend
ance. The program was never more
varied or interesting according to
statements from those who have
been, present.
