The Seventeenth judicial district has
had many famous cases in court One
of them was a divorce case heard in
ASt. Francis, Cheyenne county, before
A. C. T. Gciger, then Judge of the dis
trict, about sixteen years ago. Both
plaintiff and defendant had able
counsel. One of the attorneys for the
plaintiff was Patric F'lemming, of st.
Francis. After the attorneys had eff
fected settlement, Fiemming asked
permission OF the court to say a few
words before the case was finally
entered on the docket, and he was
given unanimous consent. He said:

Dempsey, worlds champion heavy
weight, is under arrest in Los Angeles
today charged with ''intimidating''
Mrs. Maxine Dempsey.
Dempsey was indicted recently by
a federal grand jury on charges of
draft evasion made by his divorced
wife. Federal authorities today are
investigating a trip Gardner and Mrs.
Dempsey are alleged to have made
together to Tia Juana, Mexico, to
play the races. The strength of
charges against Gardner depends
upon this investigation, authorities
said. Gardner was arrested recently
at Tia Juana. He probably will be

Population of United
States Estimated
at 105,OOO,00O

The population of continental
United State is estimated at 105,OOO,-
900, by ]. A. Hill, chief statistician
of the census bureau His calculation
is based on the combined populations
of 1,4O6 cities and towns for which
statistics have been announced.
The increase over 1910 is placed
at about 100000, showing the
growth of the country has not kept
pace with the previous decade. AL
most complete cessation of immigra-
ton during the war is the chief rea-
son assigned for the falling off in
growth. Other suggestions were the
two influenza epidemics, return of
aliens to their native lands and deaths
of soldiers during the war.
The aggregate population of the
cities and towns on which the estimate
was made is 41,O29,354. This is an
average gain of 26 per cent compared
with 35 per cent in the previous de-
cade.

Rush to Cancel
Orders Felt By
All Industries

Practically every industry in Amer
lea is affected, some seriously, by the
cancellation of contracts, according to
final analysis of the countrywide in.
vestigation just completed by the
United States Chamber of Commerce.
Cancellations were particularly not
able in goods of interest to women.
So many orders for silks were abro-
gated that manufacturers have organ
lied bureau which adjudicates all
claims. Makers of hosiery and under
wear express a determination to de-
mand formal contracts with all orders.
They also are organizing a bureau to
handle the situation. Corset dealers
found themselves overstocked and
their credits restricted.
Dealers in mems clothing, it would
appear, suddenly became obsessed with
the thought that the public would not
buy at prevailing prices, and rush to
cancel orders followed.
The extraordinary cancellation of of
orders for baby carriages was due to
a number of conditions, among them
the shortage of domestic help. In a
number of States the birth rate de-
clined, and there were fewer babies
to ride in carriages. During the per
iod Of low production, furniture deal
ers were alarmed and placed big
orders. Housing conditions became
such that retail sales were exceeding
ly limited. A rush to cancel orders
followed. The industry contemplated
steps to place restrictions on orders
and to begin campaign on education
that will insure more equitable treat
ment of the manufacturers.
In one division of the lumber indus
try alone cancellations have amounted
to 100000 feet, or over $500 cars,
since January. They were largely
without any reason that would be valil
in law.
Automobile manufacturers were the
principal offenders in the pressed met
al trade. AS their products are made
in special patterns or designs, con-
tracts provide that the buyer must
pay damages if he refuses to take
ordered goods.

Most Intense
Rainfall on Record

Two and one-half inches of rainfall
in three minutes!
A reproduction of the rain gauge
register showing the downpour-a
record made in 1911 and still recog-
nized by the Weather Bureau, United
States Department of Agriculture, as
the most intense rainfall of which it
has data-appears in the current
number of the Monthly Weather Re
view, published by the Weather Bu-
reau. The illustration accompanies a
technical discussion of rain and sun
shine in the Canal Zone. This heavy
fall of rain occurred at Porto Rico in
the Canal Zone.
Not alone in the Canal Zone but at
200 points in the United States the
Weather Bureau maintains observa-
ton stations at which accurate rec
ords are kept of rainfall, snowfall, tent
perature, ETC., so that any person in
terested can ascertain accurately the
weather history of practically any Sec
ton of the country by applying to the
Weather Bureau. Commercial and
farmers and others interested in vari'
GUS crops, frequently apply to the
bureau for information of this sort.

Ruth Speaker not in

average of better than 400 with the

ers had batting averages of 500?
Fans may say that there's mo such

composed of girl employees of the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company,
at Akron, O., has this terrible clouting
record to date in 1920.
Florence Martin, who handles the
hot shot around third base in man
ner creditable to most male players,
is the demon swatter of the team.
Her average tops 500 by several points
and in one game she hammered out
three home runs.
That the team has keen batting eyes
is evidenced by the fact that in a re-
cent game the girls poled out seven
circuit clouts.
The team is unlike others of the
gentler sex that have toured the coun-
try at various times. Usually girls
teams have men for the battery work
and on first base, but the Goodyear
team is composed entirely of girl en-
