The Starkville news. (Starkville, Miss.) 1902-1960, 1920-08-27

In Robert Hogan and Eugene How
erton, Oktibbeha County got two of
the five boys selected last week for
the team to represent Mississippi in
the international Club Judging con-
test which is to be a feature of the
Southeastern Sair in Atlanta. The
winners in this contest, with the club
leaders of the state which they rep-
resent are to be sent, with all ex-
penses paid, to the International
Livestock show in England.
Mississippi's team was selected in
a free-for-all contest among the 600
boys who attended the Vacation
Short Course at A. and M. last week
and the fact that two of Oktibbeha's $
boys won places against such stiff
competition is heralded with joy by
the boosters of the county who have
been advertising Oktibbeha as "The
Jersey County of the South"
These boys will be given an inten-
slve training course between now and
the time of the fair in Atlanta and.
1t is predicted, will be heavy contend
ers for the trip to England.

FEED AND COVER.
CROPS CAMGA|GN
IS GOING GOOD

The greatest agricultural cam
paign in the recen, history of the
state is planned for food and cover
crop campaign to be conducted Aug.
81 to Sept. 3. Every federal exten-
sion worker of the state, according
to Director r. S. Wilson, will during
this, time give the major portion of
his time to tbs cause. In addition,
every newspaper of the state, every
bank, all leading business men, and
all Industrial agencies having any
connection with rural problems will
be invited to give fullest cooperation.
Back of this effort is the urge Of
tremendous necessity. Feed in Mis-
sissippi is inadequate for the needs
and all indications point to greater
scarcity and probably higher prices
than ever before known. 1t is hoped
that concerted action of farmers
and public-spirited citizens interest
ed in farm success will through this
campaign supplement largely the
present feed supply and give wide
acres of winter pastures.
g. Oats and Abruzzi rye are the two
crops which will receive chief en-
phasis. AS a preliminary to the
general campaign, the extension
committee, headed by State Agent J.
w. Willis, is sending all over Missis-
sippi the following salient points
concerning these two crops: 1. Sc
cure good seed at once; they are
scarce. 2. Prepare firm seed bed on
we'll drained land. 8. apply 200
pounds of acid phosphate per acre
before planting. 4. Plant oats as
early as possible, preferably from
Sept. Is to Oct. Is. Abruzzi rye
may be planted from Aug. IS to
Dec. /. 5. Plant 2 to bushels of
oats, l to u bushels of Abruzzi rye
per acre. Use grain drill, if posi-
BILE; less seed required, less danger
from freezing.

'BR|Ck 8 TILE COMPANY
FIRES FIRST KILN OF
100000 BRICK SAT-.

The first kiln, containing 100000
bricks, of the Starkville Brick and
Tile Company, was fired Saturday
and another kiln of more than 3O0,-
900 bricks will be ready to fire in
less than two weeks.
This marks the real opening of
Starkville's newest industry which
has been building for three months
or more. A big success is predicted
for this industry as authorities have
reported that the clay in this partic-
ular section is the best brick clay in
the state. Already orders and in
quiries are coming in from all points
of the South and even from Havana,
and the corporation is now planning
to double the plant before Christmas.

TWO STARKV|LLE|PUBL|C SCHOOL
BOYS ON CLUbOF STARKVUE.
JUDGING TEAM OPENS SEPT. I

The session of 192O-1921 will open
on Tuesday, September 7th. Mon
day will be given, as usual, to regu-
lar faculty work preparatory to as
signments, classifcations and en-
trance examinations, etc.
The public is invited to attend the
regular opening on Tuesday morn
ing at nine o'clock. A great many
things will be said of interest to
every patron of the school. Books
should not be purchased until after
this meeting. A complete change
has been made by the State Text
Book Commission of the text books
to be used this session. AS a result
considerable change will be made
| in the curriculum.
Superintendent Morris announces
that the prospects for the session is
the best in the history of the school.
The building was filled to it's capacity
last session while this session will
have much larger enrolment. One
grade will have work in basement
room and the domestic science will
be continued in two basement rooms.
An addition will be necessary to ac-
commodate the increasing attend
ance for another session.
1t is urged that all patrons plan
their vacations so that all children
will be on hand at the opening. Ex-
amlnations will be provided on Tues
day and Wednesday of the opening
week but no others will be given.
Students expecting to take the ex-
aminations will be prepared on these
two days or forfeit the right to take
them. Work will begin regularly on
Wednesday morning and all students
will be graded on this day for at
tendance, punctuality and scholar
ship.
One of the largest and most pro-
ficient faculties has been provided by
the board of trustees and a success
full session is assured.
Patrons expecting to enter stud
ents in the first grade most enter
them during the first two weeks as
we provide for only one section dur
ing the session. 1t is urged upon pa
irons that children under six years
OF age be retained at home for one
more year, the board has not yet pro-
vided for a primary department and
hence the work is too advanced for
children under six years of age.
A splendid uptodate, wholesome
Lyceum Course will be given in the
public school this session for the
pleasure and benefit of our local
community. We propose to have a
course equal or even better than
those given at the College and shall
expect the support of our people in
this undertaking. Very few get ad-
vantage of the splendid attractions
presented at the College. All may
have them here at home.
Attention is called to the fact
that a compulsory school law goes in
to effect with the opening of this ses-
sion and will continue for eighty
days. Children between the ages of
seven and fourteen. inclusive will be
compelled to attend school for tn;,
length of time. A penalty ranging
from one to twenty-five dollars is
imposed for noncompliance. Coun-
ty superintendent Scroggins will give
all interested parties the details of
the law.

SAUER WILLING TO GO TO FINISH WITH
 SEATTLE GRAPPLER

Pete Sauer has accepted the chal- lenge of Thomas Grant as published in the Arizona Republican yesterday morning Whats more, Pete is willing to go to a finish with the Seattle mar vel he said last night, although much preferring a limit of two hours. the referee to decide the match on points at the end of that limit if neither man has been able to secure a fall.
 Although neither man has yet signed a contract with the local promoters, nor date fixed for the proposed meet ing, Sauer got back into training yes terday-his first workout since his meeting with Grant week ago.
 Pete has not. been feeling well of late and was ten pounds under his normal weight wher he wrestled Grant last Friday night. In consequence he has decided on lighter training program in the future. From now on, he says, he will train every other day instead of every day as heretofore, as long as the hot weather lasts.
 Promoter Tally has not yet indicated whether or not he will book Sauer and Grant for a return engagement. Both wrestlers are anxious to get together and settle the question of supremacy, but no word has yet been issued as to whether the match will be held in this city.

Carter Matched with Good With Understanding That It Is His Last Appearance Here Unless He Shows Real Speed and Fighting Ability

A chance to make good against a good boy named Good will be accorded Tommy Carter, Phoenix lightweight, at Tally's open-air arena Friday night The American legion signed Carter for this match with the understanding that he show in his old time form or forever be barred from further competition in this city.
 Carter jumped at the opportunity. T realize that my showing against Danny Goodman here was not up to snuff, but I didn't have a fair chance" Carter said last night. Goodman was not able to stand up and make a good fight of it and under such circum- stances, the best fighter in the world would look bad. It takes two men to make good fight
 Carter Karin, to Go
 T am better now than I have ever been- All that I ask is chance to prove my worth. And if Sammy Good is the kind of a fighter they say he is. I promise Phoenix fans that they will see one of the best lightweight matches ever held in Arizona Friday night. I'm rarin' to go and feel in per feet physical condition'
 Carter's anxiety to make a fayora bIe impression before the home crowd may be his undoing, too. Tommy has been going good of late, but Good is prob ably the best lightweight that he has been asked to meet in many weeks
 sammy only recently returned from Manila. where he won the lightweight championship of the islands He ap- peared in a semi-final last week at Vernon and made such a favorable i'm pression that Beaney Walker and other sport writers demanded that he be given a final event. In consequence Dolye matched him with Phil Salva- dore for a main event
 Walker, in commenting on Goods showing, said he was the most aggres- sive boy that had ever shown at Yer non- He started exchanging waIlops at the sound of the first gong and never took step backward through. out the four rounds of milling. which was wild and exciting. His work won him decision by a mile, Walker con- cluded.
 Because of the very nature of the program. several wagers h-ve been made as to the length of the card
Arizona republican., 1920-07-29

Seven events, totalling 40 rounds. are scheduled. and one local sportsman bet one to ten yesterday that not more than one of the bouts would go the scheduled distance.
 Participants Real Fighters
 Every one of the 14 participants boasts fighting record. Dummy Madden, Andy Gardner. Fighting Gar Cia. Young Maza. Wildcat ELS INT Holquin, Battling Healy, Battling Scotty. Sammy Good and Tommy Carter are all known fo rtheir knock out proclivities.
 Plenty of action is promised both by the legion and the referees, who have been instructed to keep the men going at top speed or toss them from the ring So confident is the legion of the character of the events that it k<s guaranteed to refund the admission price to fans who are not satisfied.
 Although the advance sale has been one of the largest in the history of local sports. plenty of good ringside and reserved seats are still to be had. Tickets will remain on sale at the Doyle cigar stand until o'clock Fri day evening, at which hour the doors to Tally's arena will open.

TO BRING BARbOA. |FROM PRISON TO. PHOENIX TODAY
Mexican Whose Alleged
 Confession of the Erhardt Murders Is Not Believed, To Be Placed in Asylum

Jesus Maria Barboa, the Mexican who was said to have confessed that he murdered MT. and Mrs. Jacob Err hardt and whom the officers believe innocent of the crime will be brought to Phoenix today from Florence by Deputy Sheriff Al De Witt when he returns from taking three prisoners to the penitentiary. Barboa has been confined in the death cell at the state prison since he made his alleged con fession on the morning of June 26.
 The decision to bring the Mexican to Phoenix at this time was reached by Sheriff Montgomery yesterday after Warden Powell of the peniten- tiary telephoned to the sheriff and the place for the Mexican. MT. Powell said that the Mexican was insane and thought that he should be placed in the state hospital for the insane. The guards at the prison, MT. Powell said, were also of the opinion that the more mentally deranged from confine- ment.
 Warden Suggests Move
 It had been the intention of the of ficers to bring Barboa to Phoenix after the return of Sheriff Montgomery and L. M Laney. county attorney. from California next week. The request of MT. Powell, however, hastened the matter and Barboa, following his ar rival here tomorrow night, will be placed in the state hospital for the insane under observation. Later he will be given hearing in a local justice court and all evidence for and against him presented.
 Sheriff Montgomery stated last eve ming that he and the county attorney would leave for Santa Ana next Sun day afternoon and then proceed to San Quentin where they will inter view Nose Gibson, the negro who con- fessed that he murdered MT. and Mrs. Jacob Erhardt in Phoenix. Gibson has been sentenced to hang for the murder of Roy Trapp, Fullerton, Cal, rancher, on July 15.
 While in Yuma early this week on a campaign trip, Justice Charles De Sales Wheeler, candidate for secretary of state subject to the Democratic primaries, said yesterday that he had met a rancher named Harris who for merly had been manager for an oil company in Texas. Harris stated, Justice Wheeler said, that he knew with the negro about two years ago.
 Negro a Bad Man
 According to the story told by liar ris to Justice Wheeler, Gibson was employed about the oil wells where Harris was manager and in some manner they became involved in an argument. Gibson, Harris said, struck him on the head with a piece of board and he at once gave the negro a good drubbing, knocking him down several times, and then discharged him.
 That night, Harris said, Gibson re- turned with a gun and shot at him, the bullet, he said, just grazing the top of his head and causing a flesh wound. Harris told Justice Wheeler that he never had pressed the charges because he was afraid that Gibson, whom he said was a very bad negro, would get a year or so in the peniten- tiary and then return and kill him. Harris stated to Justice Wheeler that he recognized Gibson from the de- scription given in the papers and by his picture which appeared in a Los Angeles paper.
