PHEASANTS TO BE.
ADDED TO LOCAL FLOCK
Game Warden Cline Has Sc
cured Sir Male Birds; Two
Are Airsady Liberated

Six male ring-neck. Chinese pheas-
ants are to be liberated on the Wag-
ner farmS on the Birchmont road, by
Game warden John Cline. There has
been a flock Of female pheasants in
this vicinity all winter. but no male
birds have been seen in the flock.
SO tame have the female birds be-
come that they have frequently
shown themseives near the Wagner
buildings. ~,
On obtaining Mis- information, Mr..
Cline made Arrangements to have
some male birds liberated among. the
females. Two males were set free
at that location. this morning, two
more will be taken out tomorrow
.morning and the remaining two later.
Two Of the male birds are on ex-
hibition in A. b. Palmer's hardware
store window. They are fine speci-
mems, as are all the six secured. These
birds are rare III this vicinity and it
is hoped by carefully protecting them
that the flock may grow much larger.
The local game warden is anxious
that the public refrain from molesting
these pheasants in any way as they
are quite tame and approachable, and
on account Of their similarity to other
game birds might be mistaken for
them. & a. - .

STRIKING MlNERSuVE
ALL WINTER in TENTS
Many Figure to Continue to
Live in Tents After All r.
Trouble Is Over
(By United Press)

Williamson, w. Va, March 25.-
Tent towns of striking miners, nest
ling in the hollows of the Cumber-
land mountains here, have survived
their first winter.
The little colonies of white tops
sprang up over night in Mingo coun-
ty coal fields when mine operators,
delivering a smashing blow at the
unions organization efforts evicted
families from company owned homes
last April and May.
Strikers camps now dot the valley
along the Tug river. There are five
tent communities having between As
and 100 families, aside from scatter
ed canvas homes. Organizers of the
United Mine Workers Of America esti-
mate 5000 men and their families
lived through the year in these i'm
provised shelters.
Deaths, diseases and other hard
shpis have been lighter on the miners
in the Mingo field during the last
year than usual, according to Martin
Justice. a leader in the Lick Creek
colony.
"We've found the tents much
healthier and better in many ways
than the company housess1 Justice
said. "'Many men figure to continue
living this way with their families,
even when the trouble is over" This
winter has been particularly mild
for West Virginia, though" he added.
Ways of introducing many modern
comforts into the rude homes have
been found during the winter. Wood
en- tloorings, carpeted over in some
tents, have been provided. Glowing
coal stoves have maintained suffici-
emit heat for health and comfort. Some
tents are equipped with monographs
and similar means of entertainment.
The strikers receive weekly al
lotment from the union, sufficient
for necessities. Union headquarters
distributes 100000 weekly, an aver
age Of $40 family, to strikers in
this county.

LANCDON PLANT BROKEN
INTO FOR SECOND time


One Of the most popular places
found by the local burglar brigade
seems to be that of the Langdon Mfg.
company, manufacturers Of ice cream
and soda water. Not contented with
having called on this concern a week
ago Thursday night when they ap-
propriated some extracts and $40 in
change, they, felt it, their, duty to
make another call last night. !.
Both plants were broken into with
a little more success than on the pre-
vious occasion. They secured 1882
last night but left the extracts alone
so far as could be ascertained.
:. Mr.. Langdon states that he feels
as though he must be quite popular
with the "gang" as they, never fail
to remember him several times each
year. - i

DEMPSEY CARPENTER
BOUT DRAWS INTEREST
BY .Henfy L. Farrell.

j.. Omitted Press S taft Correspondent
New York, March 25.-The Demp-
sey-Carpentier eentest is going to. be
the greatest sporting event in history
Tex Richard believes.
The worlds greatest boxing pro-
moter talks of his pet match with all
the pride of a father in prodigy
son..
1t is quite apparent that he rated
It az! first class attraction from the
start when he was willing to put a
half millione dollar; collar around his
neck to make the match.
Richard smiles in the face of prob
lens that would drive the ordinary
man to a brain expert.
He is supremely confident that he
will make enough money off the "bat-
tie of the age" to pay him for his
time and trouble. y
~ had this match in mind the
night that Jack Dempsey knocked out
Jess Willard in Toledo" he said to-
day. GIVE kept my hand ON the pub
lie pulse since that day and 1 was so
sure that it would be winner that
I was willing to stake d fortune on
it.
"Sport followers worship idols in
their own modern way. The turn
stiles of the base ball parks and the
track when Babe Ruth and Man O.
War perform indicate just as much
tribute to the modern gods al the
burning of incense in the olden days.
Everyone ad1nires the perfect
man, the perfect fighter. The same
thrill Of combat that used to pack
the ampitheatre in Rome when the
gladiators fought, fills the modern
stadium for foot ball and boxing, the
modern form of showing physical SUI
periority. ....... 5,.s
Dempsey and Carpenter are per-
feet types of manhood in two widely
different forms-Dempsey, the rush
ing tiger with fierce attack; Car
pentier, the crafty, wise, fast moving
panther.
The confidence had that meet
ing between these two would be the
greatest. contest of history has been
justified by the interest that has
been shown from the time the match
was made.
we have pile of applications two
leet ulSA iIOIH Idus VIII nave WTllLeu
in for seats. We must have returned
checks to the amount Of $4,000 that
accompanied applications. Among the
first was a letter from the Argentine
ambassador in Washington asking for
four seats for friends from Beunos
Aires who want to have seats right
next to the ring. Hundreds of appli-
cations have come from Canadians
and one of the best known society
women in New York asked for a ring
side box. 49,
L ats not entirely from a monetary
standpoint that I believe it will be
the greatest event Of history. I'm
just as anxious to see the bout as the
most rabid fan and I'm going to see
every round of It,"

NORTHERN MINNESOTA
GIVEN NEW ADVANTAGE
Upper Section of State Will
Now Be Chased With Those
of Similar Climate

Northern Minnesota grain and hay
producers gained distinct advantage
this week when, at conference Of
representative Of different colleges in
Chicago to revise the premium list
and make other arrangements for the
next international grain and hay
show, it was decided to put northern
Minnesota in region 1, along with
Montana, North Dakota, northern
Wisconsin and other states or parts
Of states, at the same time leaving
southern Minnesota in region 2,
where it will be in competition with
southern Wisconsin, southern Michi-
gan and other states in comparatively
the same latitude. Formerly all Of
Minnesota was in region 2.
This Encouragement will give north
ern Minnesota corn growers q chance
to compete with the corn growers Of
other states where climatic conditions
are similar. Another advantage for
northern Minnesota, from the Chicago
conference, is that one class of flint
corn was provided for region l and
one for region 2, there being no flint
classes in the various other regions.
BY this arrangement, northern Min
nesota growers can show their flint
corn to much better advantage than
they could in the past. About three
quarters Of the state will be in re-
gion 1. The dividing line will be the
northern boundaries of Yellow Nedi-
cine, Renville, Mcleod, Carver, Scott
and Dakota counties.
T. E. Odland, who represented Uni
versity farm at the Chicago meeting,
brought back word Of the changes
made, also that the Chicago board Of
trade will provide another $4,000
premium list for the show this year.
