WILL MISkE COME BACK
(By Associated Press,

Benton Harbor, Mich, Sept. 3rd.-
When Billy Miske, of ST. Paul, chal-
|lenger for the worlds heavyweight
championship, crawls into the ring
here Labor Day afternoon to face the
terrific punches that brought the
cham pionship to Jack Dempsey, he
will literally be "new man..
Miske, in his match with Dempsey,
is attempting one of the most remark
able "come-backs" in. the history Of
glove fighting. Unlike most of the
lighters .Wls fayE.sb been, considered
out, only to try again, Miske is not
| coming back from previous. defeats.
He is grooming himself for his first
real fight in nearly eibhteen months
"a "come back from physical disab4-
ity.
Afterea course of careful treatment
and prescribed rest, Miske returned
to the ring two months ago, scoring a
quick knockout over Jack Moran a
st. Louis heavyweight. Now, accord
ing to Miske and his manager, Jack
Raddy, he is far better fighter than
in either of his first Dempsey fights.
Miske was only a lightweight when,
he fought Dempsey then besides being.
a sick man. Now he is a real heavy
weibht, boasting of 100 pounds Of
bone and muscle and claims he will
be six times as tough as when Demp-
sey last saw him.
Miske talks confidently of the COM
ing contest. He does not claim that
he is a superman, but contends that
if he pulled through the fire with the
best heavyweights in the business
while sick he ought to be able to do
much better when blessed with such
splendid condition.
Dempsey naturally will be the
favorite in the, betting," Miske saidi
ssHe should be. But that's no sign /
won't beat him or at least hold him
even. The champion is always the
choice with the public. But Dempsey
has chin like all the rest and if
to land spuarely there will
be a terrible crash"
Miske is only 26- years old--a year
older than Dempsey, the champion.
The challenger has convinced his adj
mirers that he is better than ever.
Whether he is good enough to give
Dempsey lacing is the question that
is being seriously discussed.

FORAGE CROPS.
Should Follow MelonS-Timely Sug-
gestiOns on What to Plant.

Watermelons this year occupy an
unusually large acreage. As they
will be harvested in the near future
the question of turning fields to other
crops is one of current interest.
There are various reasons that rem
der the planting of these lands to
other crops important on every farm.
The cultivation of the melons usually
leaves the grounds in comparatively
good condition for a following crop.
Some of the fertilizer will be left in
the soil and the loss of this may be
avoided by planting the land at once
to something else. Paintings for
hay and forage are of especial value
on all farms where farm animals
such as horses and cattle are main
tanned; and some of these are well
adapted for growing from late plant
ings.
The following field and forage
crops are suggested by ]. B. Thomp-
son:
One or more of the different kinds
of sorghum may be used satisfactory
ly. 1t is important that they be
planted as soon as possible after the
melons are removed The best prac-
tice is to plant the seed not later
than the last of June or the first of
July AS a rule the earlier the
planting at this season the greater
will be tonnage of feed produced.
There are many good varieties to
select from, such as Red Top, Sugar
Drip, Japanese Honey, Texas Seeded
Ribbon Cane and Early Orange.
Early Amber, though extensively
planted makes small growth and
yields comparatively light crops.
Any of these varieties drilled in rows
late in June and well cultivated
should provide green feed during
late summer or be sufficiently ma
ture for the silo early in October.
For the latter purpose the seed
should be nearly ripe before cutting.
Cowpeas may also be utilized to
good advantage to follow melons.
They should be planted by the latter
part of June or as soon thereafter as
is possible The Brabham is probab-
ly our most desirable variety for gen.
eral planting. If planted late in
June it should be ready for cutting
late in September, and in so far as
season is concerned, it should prove
satisfactory. Very late paintings of
the cowpea are frequently subject to
powdery mildew, a disease that ap-
pears late in the season, retarding
growth and reducing the yield on
areas that are badly affected. Under
normal conditions cowpeas planted
late in the season return somewhat
lighter yields than do those planted
earlier. On the other hand, how
ever, the vines from late paintings
are usually less coarse, more easily
cured, and preferable for hay. Late
June planting of the cowpea is de-
sirable as it insures maturity in the
latter part of September when favor
able haying weather may reasonably
be expected.
Peanuts and beggarweed are other
crops that may well be used TO follow
melons. Both of these being le-
gumes add fertility to the soil and at
the same time supply a highly nut
ritious feed.
The watermelon crop is somewhat
later than usual this year. There
fore, the point that it especially i'm
portant is prompt action in making
paintings as soon as the melons are
removed from the ground.

THE BASTILLE.

In Mount Vernoa4 Washington's home, and where his remains are buried, are some of the most interest ing relics in the world. In the hall of Mount Vernon hangs the Key of the Bastille, presented to General Wash ingaen by Lafayette. The dark, huge, ponderous thing. relic of the once dreaded state prison of France, was the key to the principal gate. The terrible Bastille, the infamous strong hold of despotisn, was erected during the years 1S70-13S3. by Hugh d'Am-' brot as a protection against the Eng fish. Its cornerstone was laid on this date, April 22. The architect himself became @ prisoner in one of its gloomy towers The Bastille's dolor- ous cells; its frightfuI subterranean dungeons of filth and straw, are de- scribed with great effect in Victor Hugo's 'tNotre Dame de Paris and in Dickens ''Tale of Two Cities" The subjects of royal disp1easure were committed to the Bastille by secret means - disappearing from their homes like a bubble on the water. They were never heard from again. The Bastille was stormed and taken, on July A 17s9, by an infuriated mob, thus opening the frightful justice of the Reign of Terror, the French Rev oIution.
