The city council, in session last
Tuesday night, at special meeting,
unanimously decided to appeal from
the decision Of the commissioner of
the Industrial Court in the matter of
the increase in telephone rates in
Liberal.
The Industrial Court Commission
er recommended to the court that
the Liberal Telephone Company be
allowed to increase telephone rates
in Liberal, and it is estimated that
the increase will cost the city approx
inately $4,000 per year.
Unless protest is filed with the
Public Utilities Commission within
ten days the recommendation of the

WHEAT GROWERS TO
HAVE RALLY THURS.
State Sec'y. McGreevy
Principal Speaker
of Occasion
The AEIGHBORlNG LOCALS INVITED

Liberal will be the meeting place
of the big wheat growers rally to be
held Thursday, April z.
President Fitzgerald and Secretary
John K. Smith of the local organi-
sation are busy making plans for the
meeting which is expected to be the
largest in the Southwest.
State Secretary McGreevy will be
the principal speaker and having
heard McGreevy we can promise the
one of the best talks they have ever
heard along the line of farmers or
ganizations. McGreevy is we'll posted
. business standpoint.
on the subjected and handles it from
Invitations are being sent to
neighboring towns and every farmer
within travelling distance of Liberal
should be here and attend the meet
ing and take part. It is free-for-
all affair in which anyone interested
may take part.
The progress Of the Wheat Grow
ers' Association is.most gratifying.
The membership is already large and
the members are signing the selling
contracts all over the country.
Just why anyone should hesitate
is nat plain to US. The plan contem-
plates the selling Of all wheat rails
ed by the association through the
organization. This wheat would be
shipped to terminal Elevators for
storage, and money borrowed on the
grain, up to close its market worth.
This will enable the farmer to hold
his wheat and have the money at the
same time, and what gain there is
by a price advance is his. The plan
also enables the wheat to be sold
through out the year, rather than in
"a short time, which in itself will help
to hold the price up.
The difference under the plan is
Just this. Instead Of offering the
wheat for sale and asking what will
be paid for it, the miller or the ex-
port buyer will hunt up the officials
in charge and ask them what they
will take for It.
Some farmers seem to think that
they will have trouble in financing
the deal. Just why this opinion Is
not plain. We all know there is not
enocgh money in circulation to ham
die the wheat crop of the United
States, and that when the wheat pas
ses from the hands Of the farmers
It is held on bank credits. None of
the big buyers pay theid own money
for the wheat but are individual
borrowers to hold their own purchas-
es. This being the case why cannot
the farmers by centralizing their
wheat in few hands go to these
same bankers and borrow the money
to hold it. The banks have money to
loan and they will be bidding for this
business.
There may be few flaws in the
plan but these are of minor import

Minnesota to
End Contracts
With Coaches
Alumni A sserts Squad
Was Not Taught Foot
ball Fundamentals and
Id e t cnsi i've Tactics

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. Decentralization
Of contracts of all athletic coaches at
the University of Minnesota at the end
OF the current yer or as the contracts
expire in the mean time was decided
upon by the athletic board Of control
at meeting late to-day.
The coaches affected ere DR.. Henry
l.. Williams, football; DR.. L. J. Cooks,
basketball: Leonard Frank, track and
cross country; Neil Thorpe, swimming.
and Frank Gilman, wrestling.
While no direct mention is made Of
Professor James Paige, chairman of
the athletic board of control, it is .un-
derstood that under the new organiza-
tion the position held by Mr.. Paige
would be abolished.
DR.. Williams has been in charge Of
football here for many years. He is
credited with originating and develop
ing the "Mincsota shift" one of the
first radical changes in the game which
followed the abandonment Of mass
plays.
Alumni and student critics of Dr.Wil-
hams in the recent controversy that led
TO the drastic change have asserted
the coach concentrated so much on de-
velopment of plays based on tie shift
that the squad was not taught football
fundamentals and defensive tactics.
The attitude of Professor Paige as
virtual head Of the athletic department
has long been under Gre more or less
critical, his opponents urging that a
man more experienced in athletics be
selected in his stead.

Philadelphia Boxer Stops
i'm 8th Round of Bout
With Former Champion
BY Jack Lawrence

Joe Lynch, former bantamweieht
champion, scored technical knockout
over Maxey Williamson, of Philadel-
phia, in the main bout of fine pro-
gram at the Pioneer Athletic Club last
night. Williamson's seconds threw in
the sponge after two minutes and fif-
teen seconds OF the eighth round to
save their man from q Knockout
Last nights showing was by far the
best Lynch has made since he lost his
bantamweight title. Williamson was
always at his mercy after the second
round, and in the fifth and sixth Joe
battered the Philadelp lphian from corner
to corner.
Maxey's left was his best punch, and
he used it with deadly accuracy in the
early part of the fight. He peppered
Lynch in these rounds with lonr-
reaching left and opened the cut over
the bridge of Joe's nose and started it
flowing badly
From the fifth round on Lynch had
the situation we'll in hand. Lynch
weighed 1l71a, while his opponent
scaled 121.
Goldstcin Outpoints Daley
Abe Goldstein outpontcd Frankie
Daley in the semi-final, the former be-
ing another of Willie Lewis's stable.
Abe's left was one Of the best, and he
kept shooting it at Daley's face until
the latter was groggy. frankie landed
with mean right hook on several oc-
casions, but it did not seem to bothcr
Goldstein. Abe gave four blows for
every one he received from Daley and
was the winner by big margin.
George Daley, youngster who is
said by Willie Lewis to be one of the
best bantams in the business, put up
good scrap against Billy Ryan in the
second bout. The bout was slashing
affair from start to finish, and while
Daley fought gamely and gave his op-
ponent a fine plastering in most of the
rounds, he could not get away from a
long far-reaching left that Ryan re-
peatedly shot into his face.
Daley forced the fighting from the
beginning and used wicked right to
good advantage. Ryan, however, looks
to be a promising fighter and probably
will develop with little campaigning.
Daley received the Judges decision.
Johnny Murray was awarded the
judges decision over Marcel Denis,
French lightweight champion, in the
opening eight-round bout.
Sailor Friedman, whose name seems
TO be getting into PRINT pretty often
these days, says that he is going to
stop Lew Tender inside of eight

he is going right after Benny Leonard
and would like to get the lightweight
king inside a ring at Benton Harbor
