the Assembly was certain 10 grow and
grow until il reached national promi-
nence.
Rev. Fronabarger stated that four
years ago the idea was conceived Of
having an assembly ground in the
Panhandle. Since that time he has
been working on the proposition.
Proposition after proposition was
presented, and always there was some
objection Now the proposition is
near the goal.
Mr.. Fronabargcr stated Il was his
personal desire 20 locate the assembly
near Canyon. Since il was impossible
to pet a desirable location closer than
20 miles southeast he had been won
over 90 the fitness Of the location.
He believes tha, within a few years
people viii be coming 20 this assem-
bly, from an over the nation. IL will
be made a great educational, inspira-
tional and recreational center prim-
marly for young people--and Rev.
Fronabarger believes that every per-
son should be young. The assembly
last year was good in spite Of the
continuous rains.
Mr.. Fronabarger stated that the
deal for the land would be completed

the land There was a federal loan
Of S4,050 against the place. There

bly for 1922, but $4,000 taber-
nacle will be constructed for the fol-
lowing year. Outside the canyon,
there are 320 acres under cultiva-
tion besides plenty Of ground for
baseball and other recreational games.
The leases give the privilege Of go
ing TO the grounds any time Of the
year. During the assembly a small
fee will be charged TO pay the ex-
pcnses Of the speakers.
The strongest program possibly

in charge during the day and inspira-
tional lecturers at night. With the

a little older than Rufe, who has
been out of the game for some time,
without practice, and suffering with
a broken thumb, but nevertheless,
would offer little something that

SPECTATORS, and the fight was called
at the regular time. with four pre-
limIsaries successfully carried out by
two sets Of small boys, two older
school boys, and two colored boys,

won by Denton, with a draw on the
third The fourth, fifth and sixth
were won by Bentley, but the sew
enth and eighth were decisively Dem
tons, and in the ninth he knocked
Bentley out with three Furnishing

enjoyed the fight, as Il was well
matched, and the fact that the broken
thumb and lack Of practice forced
BENTLEY TO take defence through the
first rounds without making any
attempt toward scoring a knockout,
his slil was appreciated by all who
knew anything about boxing tactics

time he quit the defense after find
