CARPENTER SHREWD
 IN DIFFERING DEBUT
(By United Press )

New York, March Elf the ex- periences of Jimmy Wilde, Johnny Sheppard and Lew Edwards mean anything to him, Georges Carpentier will spurn the chances for easy coin and stick to the movies for a while in California. Since his decision to tour the United States, the European heavyweight champion has had at tractive offers dangled under his nose to meet Mike O'Dowd, the middle weight champion, Battling Levinsky the light heavyweight champion, Mike Gibbons, Bob Martin and others.
 The argument has been advanced that matches with any of them woulc not only bring him a nice purse for spending money but would be just the thing to help him in his training. He could beat any of the proposed oppo- nents easily, they tell him. That's just what they told Jimmy Wilde when Jack Sharkey was picked out as 6 good soft target for the fyweight champions debut Instead of listen ing to his American advisers whc counseled him not to be nasty in go ing into any matches, the little Welsh man went to it, was outpointed by Sharkey lost a lot of prestige and dropped thousands of dollars.
 Wilde was not acclimated Neither was Lew Edwards, the lightweight who was brought to America from Australia b yTom Andrews to cam paign for the crown of Benny Leo hard. Instead of waiting a while anc working up slowly, Edwards was badly matched with Richie Mitchell 1T Milwaukee, was badly beaten anc knocked out.
 Carpenter has something above the eyebrows and in Francois Descamps he has one of the shrewdest manager: in the business so it is not likely that the challenger for the worlds title will run the risk against any of tn, supposed "set ups"

REGAINS HIS HEALTH
 IN WEST OKLAHOMA
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Please allow me space in your v2td- able paper to tell my many friends what the west has done for my health Having been pronounced as having tuberculosis I was advised by my phy sician to go west. We arrived Janu- ary 23 at the little town of Lone Wolf in the extreme western part of Okla homa. My weight was 134 pounds and l was unable to be up all day Now my weight is 158 pounds, and l am able to do quite a good deal of work.
 We are located one mile south and one-half mile west of Lone Wolf, on what is called the Ozark Trail. We have 100 acres of as fine land for cot ton as there is in the county, and 40 acres for feed. We find the people very generous and kind. Anyone seeking health will make no mistake in finding their way to this place. It is fine town and good market. The Orient railway crosses the Rock Is- land at our town.
 Thanking the editor for the arrival of his paper each week and for the publication of this article, shall ever ever remain, your friend,
 Arthur Charles.

Notice Farmers

have One Hundred Bushels of Pure North Carolina Rowden Cotton Seed at $375 per bushel This is one year each and every farmer ought to test his planting seed. Ask your coun- ty demonstrator about planting our own native seed, especially those that were picked after they had germinat- ed. You will find those seed will not come up. It is by far better you sell those seed, buy and plant seed you know will give you perfect stand. A good stand of good quality cotton with little work is the secret of men who raise cotton always having dol lars in their pocket and big bank ac- counts.

Revival Still in Progress

Sunday proved to be a great
day in the evangelistic service
being held in the Methodist
church. In the morning Rev.
Layton spoke upon Deadly
sins of Omission" using as his
text Numbers xxxii-23. 1t was
a very logical appeal to the un-
believer, showing that sins of
omission keep more out of the
kingdom of Heaven than sins of
commission. In the evening he
spoke upon what wait | for, -
taking it out of his text. Psalm
1877 and made appealing invita-
tion to non-professing hearers to
accept Christ.
At each of these services the
crowd almost taxed the seating
capacity OF the house, in the
evening especially and all must
have received much benefit and
blessing for attending.
The music under leadership of
Mr.. Zeiss was inspiring and
added much to the services. In
the evening he added a novelty
by having the Sunshine
Chorus" sing "You may have
the joybells ringing" keeping
time in the chorus by striking
teaspoons against tumblers
making a bell like tone. They
also gave some religious yells.
Mrs. Flo Hunter Shell sang
Rotoli's Crossing the Bal" and
Mrs. John C. Brown sang "a
Clean Heart" by Byshe. Mr..
zeiss sang an arrangement of the
23rd Psalm, making in all a fine
song service.
Services every night at 81
o'clock, except Saturday. You
are very welcome.
