Farmers Convinced
That ArdmOre Men
Are Interested in
: Them, SimpkinS Says

}. w. Simpkins, county agent,
expressed his opinion this morn
ing that the aggregate value Of
special premiums TO be offered for
the Carter County Free Fair next
September would be greater than at
any county or state fair in Ok
lahOma. He also stated that he
was highly gratified with the lib
eral response from the ArdmOre
merchants.
II have just returned from a trip
throughout the rural sections Of
Carter county and have received a
great many compliments on the
good work being done by the spe-
cial premium committee" he said.
"The farmers were pleased to the
last man. They are convinced that
the merchants of ArdmOre are in
terested in their welfare. The gen.
er0us donations have been reported
throughout the county"
Phil LOwery, agent Of the Boys
and Girls Livestock club of the
A. and VI. college at Saltwater. who
was in Ardmore this morning, ex-
pressed a like sentiment. He also
supported Mr. Simpkins in the opin-
ion that the special premiums of
ArdmOre merchants would make the
Carter County Free Fair stand out
-eminently in this respect.
\ meeting will be held in the
near future to determine how the
special premiums win be awarded.
Present plans include suggestions
from all the merchants who do
mated the same. and also TO dis
tribute the prizes throughout the
entire list Of exhibits SO that every
exhibitor will have chance of
winning big prize no matter
what the nature of his exhibit. The
special premiums vary from S25
worth Of merchandise to farm
wagons and concrete silOs. IL is
expected that approximately $1,000
worth of special premiums viii be
ready for distribution by the time
the fair starts.

CARPENTER R-DEMPSEY
RING BATTLE REVIEW

When Dempsey, from training ana
boxing with men who knew every
twist and turn in the game. had abb
sorbed considerable experience, Kearns
adjudged him ready for another invas.
ion Of the east, this time under more
expert supervision.
The trip was a triumph from the
start, Dempsey literally fought his way
across the continent. boxing at least
| once, sometimes twice week in cities
Of varying size, he hung up a great
record. Fireman" Jim Flynn Bill
Brennan. Arthur Pelkey, Fred Fulton.
Porky Flynn and Battling Levinsky
were among the victims. The only
reverse decvsion registered against
him during the year was a four-round
bout on the coast in which Willy Nee
han beat Dempsey on points.
The second battle with Fireman"
Jim Flynn was one of the early bouts
Of the trip. 1t was staged in a western
town and Dempsey knocked out Flynn
in the first round. thus avenging the
earlier one-round defeat at the hands
of the veteran.
An anecdote concerning that battle
Shows the confidence which Kearns
already had acquired in his new
charge. Flynns manager, believing
that Dempsey again would be an easy
victim. offered to wager Kearns an
amount on the result Kearns was will
ing to wager not only on the result
but bet that Dempsey would win in
one round. The outcome proved the
correctness of his calculations
The battle with Loughrey in 1911
sent Carpenter into fast company" a"
in boxing. From that time on ne was
a participant in main bouts in France
and England instead Of preliminary
contests He knocked out Jack Gold
swain and defeated Evernden and
Young Joseph, winning the British
welterweight championship.
Two bouts with leading American
welterwcights were fought before the
close OF 1911. In one Carpenter was
victorious over Harry Lewis in 20
rounis. In the other, the Dixie Kid.

the most furious two.handed welter-
weights the ring has seen. beat the
