VALUE
IN SWEET FEEDS

Palatability means much in eco
nomic feeding of animals for meat,
milk, or horsepower. If your animals
relish the ration you furnish, better
digestion will result and the feed will
produce maximum weight, milk flow
or work.
Regardless Of reasons why humans
and animals thrive better on food thar
tastes good than on other food that,
while of equal nourishing qualities. is
not relished, it is nevertheless a fact,
Sugar cane molasses will make an
unpalatable (but valuable) feed pala-
table, and has feed value equal to
corn, if not over fifty per cent of the
ration. Molasses promotes sound
healthy state, enables the animal to
extract maximum nourishment from
all of his food and improve digestion,
Molasses creates a natural thirst
for water, is a cheap source of grain,
brings young and old stock into good
condition quickly, prevents diarrhoea
and collie, insures prime and snowy
condition of coats and skins. Where
everything else fails, it will keep the
stock on full feed, especially when
their appetites are tickle, and will
create hard, firm flesh.

his only grandchld, Champ Clark
Thomson, 3-year-old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. James NJ. Thomson, Of New Or
leans. He was passionately fond Of
his grandson and associates say that
after the child's death they noticed a
perceptible change in his condition,
which in the Spring of 1920 alarmed
his family.
During the Summer and Fall, how
ever, he regained vigor and took an
active part in his campaign for re-
election in Missouri. Although he
ran ahead of his ticket, Mr.. Clark
was defeated by approximately 5000
votes, Judge 7. W. Hukriede, of War
renton, Mo-, being elected.
The former speaker first was sout
to Congress in 1892 and after serving
one term he was defeated for re-elec-
ton. Two years later, however, he
was again returned to Congress and
had served continuously since that
time. He soon became a national fig
ure and was chosen speaker whel the
Democrats gained control of the
House during the last year of Presi-
dent Taft's administration.
House Recesses.
Immediately after the death of Mr..
Clark was announced the House re-
cessed for 80 minutes. Representa-
tive Rucker, Democratic, Missouri,
who made the announcement, said it
was Mr.. Clark's wish, expressed
through his son, that. there be no in
tcrruption of Congress in its closing
days.
Immediately on recovering after
the Commute recess, the House
adopted a resolution providing for the
payment to Mrs. Clark of a years
salary, totaling about $4,000.
Members of Mr.. Clark's family left
the funeral arrangements to congres-
sional leaders, who expressed the
wish to have services Saturday in the
rotunda of the capitol before sending
the body to Bowling Green for burial.
A large delegation of representatives
and senator's will accompany the body
to that place.

CHAMP CLARK
ANSWERS CALL
Death of Democratic Leader
Comes Two Days Before
Retirement.

Washington, March Champ
Clark died here today in his seventy
first year and within two days of his
retirement from the House of Rep
resentatives after a service of rs
years.
Death was due to an attack Of
pleurisy and complication of dis
eases Incident to his advanced age. Up
to 10 days ago, however, when he de-
veloped severe cold, Mr.. Clark had
shared actively in proceedings of the
House as Democratic leader.
To his last conscious moments the
former speakers mind was engrossed
with memories of his long Legislative
career. Just before he lapsed into
final Inconsistencies early today,
those at his bedside heard his whisper
"the question is on the adoption of
the conference report"
Wife AT Bedside.
AT Mr.. Clark's bedside which the
end came were Mrs. Clark, their son,
Bennett Clark; their daughter, Mrs.
Genevive Clark Thomson, and son-in-
law. James M. Thomson, OF New Or
leans.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not been completed. but the body
probably will be sent to the old home
in Bowling Green, Mo-, where the
former speaker had expected to re-
tire after the end Of his congressional
service.
Mr.. Clark presided over the House
throughout the World War, relin-
gushing the speakership after eight
years, when the Republicans gained
control last year as a result OF their
victory in the 1918 congressional cleo
tions. He then was chosen as Demo-
cratic leader in the House.
During the present session it was
apparent that the former speakers
health was failing. He walked slow
", with dragging step. While he
usually was on the floor and followed
proceedings closely, he rarely engag-
ed in debate. On one or two occas-
ions, however, he spoke at some
length on important questions.
Grief fastened Death.
Close friends believe his death was

REFEREE
ACTION TAKEN
N. J. Boxing Commission to
Confer on the Matter
Tomorrow

ATLANTIC CITY, June 15-With
h announcement that the New
Jersey Boxing Commission Is to
meet tomorrow to discuss the ref
cree question for the contest July 2,
Jack Kearns today said he advised
the commission he had commune
Gated with Tex Richard, promoter,
in regard to the meeting and would
take M steps until he had an OPP
portunity to discuss the issue with
Richard.
The original articles of agree
ment o the fight contained the
names Of five men. James ]. Cor
bett, James j.. Jeffries, James
Cougherty, Robert Edgren and Bill
Brown, who have been agreed upon
by Richard, Descamps and myself
have the list of men from whom
the referee is to be selected.
I'm the event that Descamps and
1 fail to agree. it devolves on Robert
Edgren as sole arbiter of all dis
putes. to make the final selection.
l have at no time Been advised by
Richard who holds my contract
and forfeit for the match, that the
New Jersey Boxing Commission has
any jurisdiction in the final selection
OF the referee.
Personally I favor James Dough-
erty, as my selection. though this
is no reflection on the ability and
integrity of the other four availa-
Bile candidates. The name Of Lieut..
Jack Kennedy, U. S N, has been
mentioned. Both Dempsey and my
self regard him highly.
mo New Jersey referee has ever
been discussed by Descamps and
myself and l know nothing of any
New Jersey man being named as a
selection by the commission. l be-
lieve the referee should be some one
who has something equally as price,
less as the title to- render. In other
words 1 believe the referee should
be a man of international reputa-
ton as a sportsman and a man. and
as Descamps and I have so much at
stake. l think we should be allowed
to select the referees"
