Jack Dempsey, the American.
 By Fred Fulton, the Minnesota heavyweight:
 Jack Dempsey is too good for Car pentier. I think he will win any time he wants to.
 While I was in Europe I repeated ly challenged Carpenter, who ad mtted that I was too big and too good for him. l think today I could stop him in one round.
 l will also guarantee to stop Dempsey in six rounds or not take a cent for my efforts.
 I will be at the ringside on July and challenge the winner, who, ] know, will be Dempsey.
 By Charles J. Harvey, one of the cleverest judges of fighters in the country:
 Dempsey will win in two rounds.
 He is younger, fresher and hard CT hitter than Carpenter He can stand punishment better. has plenty of speed, is full of confidence.
 Dempsey is punching in-fighter and has been active in competition for the past couple of years with big. heavy men. In fact he is a real champion. He likes open air bat ties Carbentier has had too little actual fighting in the past five years. He seems bit worn out.

EAST MOLINE TO
VOTE ON A BOND
ISSUE IN 1922
Especial Moline Service

The proposition of issuing bonds
in the sum of $50, 900 for an incin-
orator will be submitted to a vote
of the people of East Moline at the
primary election March IA.
Decision to defer the incinerator
matter until the above date was
taken at a meeting of the East
Moline city council last evening.
The main object is to save the tax
payers the extra expense that a
special election would entail.
1t will require about two weeks
to put the incinerator plant in
working order after the ordinance
is approved by the voters. This will
give the city ample time to install
the plant before hot weather sets
in, when the disposal station is
most needed.
A resolution was adopted author
izing the city clerk to negotiate a
loan of $4,000 with the three
banks of East Moline. The money
will be used to meet current ex-
penses.
Frank Baker and Charles E.
Smith presented claims for $25 and
$28 respectively to cover damages
to, their automobiles caused by
holes in the streets.

his new work.
Since coming to Idaho, Mr.. Sheehan
has been active in the development of
the seed industry which today holds a
top-rank among the seed producing
states of the country. The news was
received with regret by farmers and
seed growrs of Latah county as it
was not long ago that a survey was
conducted, and considerable progress
made in the important matters Of
seed selection. Washburn-Wils

successor. Prof Bonnet has recently
been acting for the state seed com
