Ring fudgers do not do the game
any good. If a man is matched to
meet a boxer who is eight or ten
pounds heavier, he ought to know
1t. The crowd should be informed
of 1t, too. Then they know what
kind of a fight they paid to see.
Judging on weight and beating
up the little fellows doesn't get the
matchmaker anything in the long
run.
Honesty will pay just as big divi-
dends in the boxing game as in any
other enterprise.
The posting of forfeits in some
ways offsets the evils of the non
weighing boxers.
Also, there is quite a difference in
weighing at 2 O'Clock and at 8
o'clock. That difference amounts TO
five or ten pounds. And when fight
ers are evenly matched it is sufi-
cient to spoil a good fight.
The New York boxing rules spec
ify that all weights are to be made
at 2 o'clock. figuring that the strain
of training down until the last min
ute is injurious to the health of the
boxer-and that is probably very
true.

mes Dillon, farmer and stOckmar
Buffalo county, is one Of these I'M
firing sources Of energy, devoted to
the welfare Of his community, of his
farm, and to farming in general. He
was born in 1862 on the farm near
which he still lives, the son Of a pio-
neer farmer who came to Wisconsin
from New York state. With the ex-
ception Of few years spent in Ripon
college and on a farm in South Da-
kota, Mr.. Dillon has spent his life
in building up his farm, his purebred
dairy cattle, sheep, and hogs, and his
community. An example of his help
full activities in his community is his
work as an official and as a booster
for the Buffalo County Agricultural
society. Ever since he became Of age
he has aided in planning for the great
er usefulness Of the organization.
For Is years Mr.. Dillon has been
superintendent of a department in the
state fair, position which has aided
him in extending his influence on
Badger farming. He has been hon
Ored by the University of Wisconsin
in recognition of his contributions to
good farming and good farm life in
the state. Mr.. Dillon now has his
sons associated with him in his bust
ness. He still has years of usefulness
ahead of him, and an estimation of
his excellent influence on Wisconsin
agriculture cannot yet be entirely sum-
med up or fully estimated. His per-
sonal ideals and public mindedness
continue to make him a conscientious
leader and an inspiration to his CO.
workers.

BADGER FARMERS
Including Twenty VINO Have

University of Wisconsin.

It's mighty restful and pleasant to
tour slowly and leisurely through
some Of Wisconsins farming sections,
in early summer when the period of
crop cultivation is in progress, Or in
late summer when the crops are be-
ing harvested.
"Wonderful looking country, won
derfully fine day, and splendid cattle
and farm buildings" you say. Quite
so, very restful and pleasant, but if
you want to see the real Wisconsin,
the state in acriOn, look up the man
behind that fine dairy farm. There
you will find less rest and laXity. The
country may be quiet, the day may be
droWsy, and the nearby lakes may be
enticing, but the makers Of agricul-
tural Wisconsin as it is today seem
to be steadily in action. And if there
is to be a decline in farm production,
it will not be because they have slow
ed up. Their satisfaction comes from
work done intelligently and in the
interest of Badger farmers as whole.

IN THE COUNTRY
BY M. w. BRADHAM.

[ was born in the country. Gods
earth is to me a part of life. I like
to dig. By digging I learn to think.
I unearth strange sleeping silences
powers of thought fresh from the soil
come forth to see Gods light and sky.
Thoughts, like creatures, prone to rest
all day-are made to move when I
dig.
I like to SOW. By sowing I learn
to trust; Gods promises can ne'er be
forgotten when with him I make
things grow. He plants his word as
SOW the seed; out of my life he
bringeth fruit; weak though my will,
he sendeth showers and sunshine
which makes me believe and pray, and
trust and serve.
I like to reap. By reaping [ bring
Joy; I gather Gods promises in my
hand and my heart goes out to him
for his goodness and mercies to all
mankind. He makes his word full in
due season; golden grain and whitened
staple tell Of his wealth and purity.
I like to live because to me it hath
been given to dig and SOW and reap.
My closing days on earth shall be
in the country; digging, sowing and
reaping; serving my fellow man from
day to day; then at the close to know
that friendly earth is receiving me
back and that upon my resting place
Gods sun and rain shall ever fall
