LIKE JACK DEMPSEY

During the hey-dey OF Dillon's career
he was very much on the order of Jack
Dempsey, at present heavyweight
champion Of the world, both in punch
ing and ring Cleverness. Old time ring
fans who saw Dillon in his prime are
of the opinion that Jack could have
defeated Dempsey bad they met over
the long route. Dillon was without
question one Of the greatest fighters of
all time. although never being lucky
enough to cop championship crown.

IS MINING CO. TRIES
EXPERIMENT IN
B j Y | N G
The H. c. of L. Is To Receive a Blow
At The Hands of The 95
Mining Co. of N. M.

Lordsburg, N. M Feb. 2.-The Liber-
al is informed by w B. Inderrieden,
manager of the stores department of
the S5 Mining Co., that a cooperative
mercantile company has been formed
to cut the high cost of living at both
ends. All stores products will be
handled by the new organization and
after deducting actual expenses, en-
ployees who have been four months,
prior to distribution date, on the pay
roll, will participate in a semi-annual
distribution of profits, according to
the amount of their purchases.
The cooperative company starts
with a paid-up capital stock of $50 900
furnished by the S5 company, the
profit-sharing dates being July 1 and
December 81
Every class of merchandise handled
by the company will be sold at the
lowest possible cost and when the pro-
fits are divided it will mean that one
month in every ten or twelve an en-
ployee's living will cost him nothing.
In order to obtain the fullest CO.
operation, committee of six en-
ployees will act in an advisory CO.
pacity with the cooperative company.
rendering such assistance from time
to time as is deemed necessary.
If an employee leaves the company
through no fault of his own, and is en-
titled to receive profit-sharing check
it will be mailed to his address
The beneficiary of this excellent plan
not only shares in the profits of his
own purchase, but in the profits ac-
cumulated by purchases of those who
for any reason do not participate in
the distribution. Thus he gets about
three whacks at the H. C. Lone in
buying goods cheap, one in sharing. in
the profits of his own purchases, and
one in sharing in the profits of goods
bought by the other fellow 1t is a lit
tie better than playing both ends
against the middle and winning at
both ends.
The. cooperative plan has been
studied out with great care and is sure
to be productive of excellent results.
1t is another wise move on the part
of the management of the S5 company

flourish in the United States" He ad-
vocated a six months military course
for all male students, and said that
such a course would make the stu
dents better citizens, besides making
them ready for instant mobilization.
