downfall. He said that the punch
stung his entire physical and mental
makeup and thereafter he was un-
able to carry on any effective attack.
Regardless Of just which blow
caused the vanquishing of Carpenter
the Frenchman gave remarkable
exhibition of pugulistic skill and
gameness against heavier and more
Furnishing opponent. The favorite
when he entered the ring, Judging
from the amount of cheering he re-
ceived, he left the arena with even a
greater amount of applause ringing
in his ears, tribute to an exhibition
which in every way verified and up
held a record which had preceded him
regarding his boxing ability and
danger-defying work during the war.
Dempsey as the winner ran true
to his fighting form. Although Car
pentier struck the first blow of the
encounter, a flying right to the face,
Dempsey never at any time backed
up or showed Discrimination to
avoid trading blows with his orpo-
nent. While the champion bored in
at every opportunity, he devoted as
much of his attention as was possible
to close mitigating. Rights ans let's
were steadily driven home to Carpen-
tiers body, alternated at times by
drives, jabs, hooks and cuffs to the
Frenchman's face, Jaw and head.
For the first round Carpenter did
not appear to feel the effects OF this
punishment. He fought in and out
at close quarters, using chiefly a
right swing or drive to Dempsey's
face and jaw with an occasional shift
of the left to the body.
Most of the body blows Dempsey
blocked or partly checked with el-
bows and forearms, but he was not
able to protect his face as well. Time
and again Georges shot over his
right to Dempsey's face and in the
second round, when he turned loose

JOHNNY JONES Ar DEDHAM

Johnny Jones again made the ac-
quaintance OF Mayor S. H. Johnston
Sunday night. A special session of
police court was the occasion of the
meeting. The police had been watch
ing Jones and his actions for weeks
and at two or three different times
have raided his place, thinking that
they might be able to unearth a
quantity of corn whiskey, which ii
was suspected he had for sale. Each
time the fellow must have been tip
ped off, for the raids were without
result.
On Saturday information came to
the officers by the underground route
that Jones was mixed up with liquor
again and raid was planned. Mean
while, Jones took car and lit out
for Dedham. About this time the Of
ficers were ready to hunt Jones up.
Then, his wife secured advance in
formation that they were looking for
him. She took a car and started
for Dedham, intending to tell Johnny

When she got to Dedham, Johnny's
wife had the shock of her life. There
was Johnny, but he was chasing a.
round with another woman. without
saying a word she came back and
swore out information against him.
He was finally arrested and brought
before the mayor in a semi-drunken
condition at nine-thirty Sunday night
The mayor intended to give him 80
days for drunkenness, but Jones
pleaded that he had to appear Mon
day before the Federal Court at Fort
Dodge for violation Of liquor laws.
AS he thought Jones would prob
ably get thirty days or more from
the Federal authorities, the mayor
released him. The wife was still
hostile toward her husband. At
first she was afraid the officers would
get him, but after her Dedham trip,
she was afraid they wouldn't get him.
Mrs. Jones had signed her husbands
bond when he got involved in boot

it is said, threatens to withdraw.

he will wish his wife hadn't seen him

HOPE TO EoUaL1zE LAND TAXES

Representatives of the Iowa Farm
Bureau Federation will msst with
the Executive Council in July when
that body will slit as a board of
equalization Of land values for pur-
poses of taxation.
In order to have accurate working
information for the occasion the
Federation is conducting careful,
statewide survey to determine pre-
sent values as compared with those
of two years ago when speculation
was rampant and prices seeking new
levels every day.
Some of the older counties of the
state were not so upset by the late
land boom. Values remained fairly
conservative, with taxes in proper
ton. But in most counties prices
scared to the skies, and now, with a
marked reaction in progress, leaving
taxes based upon the maximum fig
ures reached, the problem has be-
come distressing.
The Federation officials realize
perfectly that an equitable appor-
tionment and distribution, one
