Several Of the guests also enjoyed
Mrs. Stewards hospitality that
day.
Mr.. Chapman, director Of agri-
culture in Seattle public schools,
spoke before the Union j., p. T..
A. Tuesday evening. Rather a
different view than expected was
given of his subject, and the
elcvating, and more sentimental
part of Nature was portrayed,
rather than the practical. Then
his discourse described the
wonderful, and uplifting effect
on the child's mind Of anything
beautiful that grows. The aud
fence greatly enjoyed and appre-
ciated the speaker, and all went
away feeling they were well re-
paid the effort of coming. A
delicious lunch was served after
the meeting.

CALLED TO REWARD
Mrs. John Thorsen OF The
Cove Neishborhood Dies
At 81 Years

The death of Mrs. John Thorscn
occurred last Friday, April 1st.,
1921. The end came sweetly, no

half dozen living on the west
side. No Cove, no store, all that
beautiful stretch of country dott-
ed with fine home and ranches
was a wilderness. All they had
was a row boat to land in and
have seen Vashon grow from a
wilderness to thickly populated
island.
The funeral was held from the
house last Sunday, the pastor of
the Vashon Luthern church con-
Quoting the services. The many

of Vashon and Alfred B. Thor
sen of San Diego, Calf, and one

New York, June 11-Fear of overtrain-
ing appears to haunt Georges Carpenter
and his manager. In his eagerness to be
in complete trim, when he faces Jack
Dempsey on July 2, the French pugilist
has apparently reached top condition well
in advance of the date of combat.
Carpenter today passed up his usual
road work to play golf. He motored with
a number of friends to Garden City, L. l.,
and intended to return after lunch.N
The challengers exhibition of bag punch
ing, shadow boxing and body strength

duce an impression of fatigue out of pro-
portion of work of physical energy ex-
and Carpenter did not appear to take the
work seriously. Part of the time his at

the spectators.
At the finish his jaw was sakging and
he wore a tired haggard expression. Boyd

Chapter VIII.

Three years after Bob Fitzsimmons
lost the heavyweight crown to James
]. Jeffries, he tried to get it back and
failed. Jeffries knocked him out in
less time than on their first meeting.
The second encounter was at San Fran
cisco, July rs, 1902, and in the eighth
round it ended in victory for the
champion. Their first fight lasted
eleven rounds.
1t was not because Fitzsimmons was
an inferior fighter that he failed to
come back. for the sport critics said
he outboxed Jeffries at every point.
But Jeffries had about the same ca
pacity for punishment as Gargantua
was reputed to have had for food, and
besides, he had a tremendous advan-
tage in weight. Fitzsimmons weighed
1872 pounds, while the champion from
California entered the ring with 22O
pounds to back up his blows.
Fitzsimmons danced about the heavy
swinging Jeffries and sent home many
hard hitting fist. The force of these
was impotent against the great bulk
of the champion, however. The speed
of the challenger was a great factor
in staving off defeat in the early
rounds.
Fftzsimmons fought a heroic fight.
In the deciding moment of the bout
Jeffries sent hard left hand smash
against Fitzsimmons' Jaw and followed
it up with another left to the stomach
that knocked his lighter opponent to
the floor.
Fitzsimmons' fighting power was
crushed but not his spirit. Badly dazed,
he rose in an effort to continue. His
strength was gone and he sank down
and was counted out.

TO CONTROL KANSAS INSECTS
Aggie College Organizing Teams to
Fight Small Crop Enemies.

Manhattan, Kan, June 11.-Organ-
izing insect control teams in Kansas
counties is the latest movement for
aiding farmers in combating the in
sect pests of the state.
This is one of the projects of the
State Agricultural college extension
service. Each county team consists of
six or more farmers or farmers sons,
each of whom are project leaders in
his community.
Every county agent becomes project
leader in his county and his office be-
comes the meeting place of the team.
Short reports are made to the county
agent by every member of the team
regarding the insect activities and spe-
cial lessons on important insects are
given by the specialist in insect con-
troll, by the experiment station en-
tomologist, or by the county agent.
Correspondence courses in economic
entomology are given by the home
study department of the college ex-
tension service " L. Strickland, head
of the department, is in charge of the
distribution of lessons and literature
with T. G. Kelly, extension entomolo-
gist, project leader in the state.
This will mean more than 800 farm
ers in the state trained to control in
sect pests like grasshoppers, melon
aphis, Hessian fly, green bug, cut
worms, ETC., and will mean many thou
sands of dollars saved to Kansas
citizens.

Only some 200 teachers in the state

for the service, which is under the di-
rection of Miss Grace H. Parrish. who
has been engaged in similar work in
Colorado, and who was with the Kan

years.
The fact that there seems no dis
position on the part of the school
boards of the state to increase the
salaries offered to school teachers, is
held responsible by Miss Parrish. for
the hesitancy of teachers to register
with the bureau. Many teachers. in
view of the fact that there is a tend
ency on the part of the school boards
to reduce salaries. rather than to in
crease them, are seeking other lines
of work. There are more applications

The value of the service rendered
by the new department of the associa-
ton is realized when it is understood
that for the same service which is per

BITTER FIGHTS ON
az me Associated Press..

Chicago, June 11.-Not a single
"movie" censorship act has been
passed by thirteen middle-western
states, it is shown in poll just COM
pleted, in spite of all the agitation for
the passage of such measures on the
part of civic and legislative bodies.
A weller of such legislation has
been proposed. Some has merely
been introduced. Some has passed
one house. Some has even gotten a
favorable hearing in the committee
room of one house after having sue
cessfully run the gauntlet of opposi-
ton in the other. But always some
thing has interviewed to prevent its
enactment into a law.
A typical case is that of Missouri.
A bill to create a board of censorship
consisting of three members, one a
woman, at a salary of $4,000 yearly
each, was passed, after a stormy de-
bate, by the lower house at the last
legislative session. For some reason
or other the bill was late in leaving
the house.
The senate committee took its full
ten days, as entitled by law in deliber-
atinc upon 1t. The result was that
despite the strenuous efforts of its
friends to get the bill on the calendar,
It died in the committee room. This
bill provided for a fee of SO to be
levied on the film manufacturer for
each 1900 feet of film censored. Had
1t passed. the normal circulation of
films in Missouri would have been cut
down by approximately 20 per cent, its
sponsors say.
