 The remainder of the rounds forced myself through. They were bad dreams, in which I was struck repeatedly. Jeanette fought hard and so did I. We plunged at each other like demons. Why one of us did not succumb to the rigorous treatment l cannot now understand. And when the fifteenth round was ended and the judges decided I had been beaten I was heart-broken, for I felt I had won. The spectators, too, were incensed. They shouted impre- cations at the judges. Jeanette sat down at the side of the ring and grinned. swinging his legs wearily over the edge. Willie Lewis ran to the negro's corner and, pulling him down, showed him off toward his dressing room.
 ''These people are mad,' he hissed in the ear of my conqueror. ''They may hurt you if you do not leave. They believe Carpenter has been robbed"
 And Jeanette walked out of the building.
 The result of this fight brought on much comment. The newspapers con- tended that I should have had the decision. Since the battle I have been told by the referee that the judges have admitted my superiority to Jean ette.

bare fractions of inches almost ex- asperated me, and, in addition to this, he had that abnormal faculty of talk ing a terrible amount of punishment. MagneticaIIy he pulled me close to him when I strove to keep at dis tance and made me fight inside his guard time after time when l did not want to, for this negro eXcelled me at this purely American method of fighting.
 And not only was he adept at in fighting, but he also was a master of long range fighting and it was hard for me to convince myself that I would be able to hold my own.
 The eighth round found me finally forcing Jeanette into work at long range and I made it a ferocious round. I rained blows on the Ameri- cans body. every spot on his head. Gathering all my strength I dashed my right and left to his jaw near tie close of the round. His knees wob- bled. His eyes turned. He could scarcely stand, yet I could not muster sufficient force to bring him down. I knew I was hurting him with every blow, but it was useless for me to expand such energy. This negro would not be knocked out.
 It was by holding alone that he was able to survive the round. That he was able to stand at all mystified me, for I had hammered him with every ounce of my strength and he had not fallen. And when he left his corner in the ninth round it was as if he had been supplanted by Q new man. The fire of life had returned to him, while was exhausted by my efforts in the previous round. Still, I got started by striking him several times on the jaw. and slowing him perceptibly. Blood was now streaming from his mouth, while my own features were blood-spattered. am afraid we pre- scented a sorry sight. I had taken a great deal of punishment and so had my opponent.
 Half way through the ninth round I thought I saw a chance to end the combat and swung heavily with my right. Jeanette ducked the blow so c1everly and qE9kly that I missed by several inches. The audience laughed. I felt my cheeks grow red, was so humiliated. Burning with the knowledge that had been made to appear foolish I decided to again try to beat him down. Left and right slammed to the jaw of the big bronzs statue.

He was easily up before the final ten was reached. but always have contended that he was knocked out clearly and should have been counted out. That, however is a closed book now and cannot be done over.
 I determined here that it would be better if I would do my boxing at long range, but it required consider able maneuvering and lots of fast work with my feet to hold off this very clever fighter. I pay my com pliments to this black man. He was a marvel in that fight. His uncanny habit of making me miss his head by

Los Angeles, Oct. 10.-The creation
 of the office of cat inspector and an
 ordinance requiring all fe1ines in Los Angeles to be licensed is proposed in a letter sent to City Council by a woman who says she has a neighbor with IS cats, which she declares are disturbing her slumbers and damag- ing her garden and flower beds. When the communication was red councilmen remarked that the city would be swamped with applications from married men in Los Angeles for the position of cat inspector, as it was contended the operations of this off cial would be largely carried out dur | ing the night, when the inspector would attempt to squelch the cat wailings on back alley fences. '1The married men will want the job l as an excuse to get out to the club said Councilman Mallard.

 ''I wish to make the suggestion that a law be passed to license cats, male | and female, in the same manner as 1 dogs are licensed, for the benefit of | the public health. Next door to me | there are 16 females (cats) and two | tonnnies.

CANADA ENDOVVS FORMER SOLDIERS
 WITH FARMS AND LIBERAL LOANS
Government Aids Twenty-Seven Thousand Ex-Service Men To Return to Land-Board Supervises Settlers and Aids Them in Purchases-Ex-O Officers Admins ter Bureau

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 1e-Canada has
 spent over $S4,00O.O00 in the estab-
 lishment of returned soldiers on the
 land This figure represents over 27,-
 900 individual ex-ervice men who have benefited from the law which had for it's twin aims soldier re-estab-
 Hshment and the development of the
 agricultural resources of the doJnln-
 ion. It represents 80 per cent of
 Canada'S eX-service men who have gone back to the land and 30 per cent
 of the men of the Canadian army
 who were dem obilized as physically fit
 Under the law any ex-service man
 eligible from a military standpoint,
 having seen service overseas, may apply for loans up to a maximum of
 $7 ,500 for the following purposes: For the purchase of land, $4,500; for stock and equipment, S2,000; for per manent improvements. $1 ,00D. If on
 encountered land, the ex-soldier is entitled to loans amounting to $5,000; if on free dominion land. to loans amounting to $3,000. In the case of
 purchased land the settler must pay 10 per cent. of the cost price of the
 land as a guarantee of good faith.
 These benefits are open to men of the Canadian Expediionary Forces,
 to ex-service men of Great Britain,
 the dominionSs and the Allied forces,
 who lived in Canada prior to the
 war, and to ex-service men of the imperial or dominion forces, if on
 their arrival in Canada they spend a
 sufficient tme to gain practical az riculbura1 experience on. Canadian farms. The imperials, however, are required to pay 20 per cent. of the | expenditures for all purposes cash down.
 On July 31. the number of applica-
 tions was 60,s17, and of these 4S,765 I had been accepted as qualified to 1 farm. Nearly 1000 others are in training with the intention of taking
 up farms when qualified. Of the 26,- 791 settled on the land, 20,624 were granted loans. The others were lo~ financial assistance.
 The Settlement Board adopted a system of selection, requiring that
 applicants must pass a rigid exami- nation as to physical ability, moral with the result that, out of the 26,0O0 men who have now been on the land upwards of two years, strict super vision of their operations has reveal ! ed the fact that only about 10 per cent. have failed to show promise of | satisfactory results. In some cases, 1 it has been found necessary to allow the settler to withdraw from his obli- gation and the board has taken over | his farm and sold ii to another. In 425 such cases, where the in vestment of the government was $1,- | 662, ,729, the government realized on | resale S1.654, 523. showing a loss of | only S19.30 on each farm.
 The loans for land and permanent

improvements run for 25 years, those for stock and equipment for six years
 with interest at per cent. No pay
 ments wered ue until the fall of 1920, when 12,231 men were liable. The
 men were liable. The number who
 made repayments was 9,330 and 1,439
 made prepayments. There were 4oS who repaid their entire loans.
 In view of the collapse of the markets in the middle of the thresh-
 ing season and of the occurrence of drouth and other visitationS last year
 in some localities in the West, the government regards this statement as
 very satisfactory, and it is believed
 that a very few years will see most of these soldier farmers well on their way to success. Indeed, there are cases where settlers have taken from the ground crops aggregating in value
 more than the whole cost of their farms.
 Alberta has the largest number of soldier settlers, with 6.05S; Saskatch- evan second, with 5.136; the other provinces in the order named: Mani toba, 3,319; British Columbia, 2,975; Ontario, 1,521; New Brunswick, 543; Nova Scotia, 3S1; Quebec, 363; Prince Edward Island, 329.
 In addition to the loan advantages
 which @ soldier settler has, theIlooard
 secures for him very favorable ar chase of his stock and equipment Farm machinery manufacturers, lun- Der dealers. harness and wagon
 makers give special price to soldier settlers, in some cases, amounting to | a reduction of 30 per cent. In the purchase of equipm ent, the board has effected a saving of $SS6. S94. It also has saved the settlers large sums in land purchase. No Intermediary is permitted to take a rake-off on sol dier farms; the land is bought direct from the owner.
 The most important advantage, however, is the supervision which the
 board gives to it's settlers. It advises him in all his operations utnil satis-
