which is that Johnny Kilbane, the
featherweight champion, is d very noble
young man. Johnny is not particu-
larly anxious for any bouts where they
give decisions. He has the strangle
hold on that title and he wants to
keep it. Johnny was once knocked
kicking by Benny Leonard and the ex-
perlence was very distressing.
Lynch won the bantamweight title
fairly, but whether or not he is the
best Of the bantams remains to be
seen. There are some good ones COM

turn welterweight. Benny is imbued
with the ambition to emulate the late
Bob Fitzsimmons and hold two ring
titles at the same time. The chances
are that he will be able to crafty this

The big event OF the coming year, of
course, will be the Dempsey Carpenter

The Bemidji, Civic and Commerce
association held short snappy meet
ing today following, the InoOn-day
luncheon dfssposfng Of the business on;
hand. A number of communications
were read and referred to the prop
err committees for further action.
A. p Richie, reporting for the.
committee on Hamline university, an
nounced the plans being formulated
to distribute to every city and town
in northern Minnesota circuMr let
tiers asking the opinion of each, per-
sontas to the moving Of the Hamline
university outside Of the twin cities.
As a .follow-up to this communication
each person who sends in their opin-
ion will also be asked to forward to
the board Of trustees of the tiIistitu-
ton the same opinion in writing IN
an effort to snow the board the adj
yantages of moving; the university
outside Of St. Paul and Minneapolis
No discrimination will be shown at
this time as to a future location, but
the purpose Of the plan is to endea-
yor to pursuade the trustees that It
would be better for the institution
and the state at large should Ham
line be moved to site In Northern
Minnesota. A committee at Brainerd
is to conduct a campaign along the
same lines, both committees work
ing only for the interests Of the
whole northern section Of the state
and not for, their own city.
DR.. Allison Of Chicago, who is the
examining dentist at the dental clinic
which is being conducted BY the
South 1Beltram County Public Health
association, gave an interesting talk
containing points. Of vital inheritance
to every person present. He spoke,
Of the care of the teeth and more
especially the care Of the first set OF
teeth of the children. This set is the
one which is most neglected, since
parents usually pay little attention to
defects knowing that new set Will
soon be forthcoming. Such should
not be the case, since so many bodily
diseases result from defects In the
first set:
H. F.'Ferrell of Farley, who oper-
ates one of the best farms in that
community, and M. L. Mattson Of this
city, formerly manager OF the st.
H1iiaire Lumber Co., at Kellfher, but
now occupying a similar position in
this city, were introduced to the az
sociation by President Barker, and,
each responded with a short talk OF
interest.
