That tho battle would be an at

is August I. For this day he wants
to put q couple of little fellows In

must be a championship affair.
Following this may come a Labor

Tex Rickard thought a lot Of the
great fight that Bill Brennan made
against Dempsey in the Garden last
winter and would be willing to bring
the two together IL the public steams
up on the battle-which it probably
will not.
Just now a Dempsey Brennan fight
would make about as much of a hit
with the dear old public as a scrap be-

no doubt get mildly excited over a go

The Young Women's Christian As
ISOLATION has accepted the challenge
as a potent factor in establishing
Christ's Kingdom here on earth. The
Interpretation of this challenge GER
tainly comes as bringing about an
ideal spirit of fellowship among the
entire human family. The under
standing of the human family shall
be the means of effacing from his
toric records any misapprehensions
on the part of any member of the hui

best in him. Thus. acquiescing to the
fullest capacity of mans instructive
desire of emulation as handed down
through the evolution of time. Come
and join this social force and help
establish better relationship and
thereby become a friend to its cause,
because it does promote justice and
righteousness to all alike.
Just an hour during the Come and

friends are invited, not only to visit
the Indiana Avenue Branch but cars

there. Do not miss this opportunity
