 >cotty is generally conceded to be the best man or his poundage in this section of the Southwest. He has taken the boys as they have been < brought on and has just about cleaned everything or his weight the state has had to offer. So it be- came necessary for the Amerigan Le- Eion matchmaker to look around for new worlds for the local fistic expo nent to conqI r.
 Webb Mcintyre is the first of the new series If he's as good as his press notices say Scotty is in for rough voyage Monday night Mac Is a two handed mauler of the give m dtaie school, fitted for Scotty, and take school, fitted for Scotty, past performances, Mac has a steel Jaw. cast iron solar plexus and couple of pair of brass lznuckles tucked away in his mitts.

 Wildcat Johns and Young Romo will do a four rounder and if these boys travel at their usual speed fans are in for some lively action. Johns can always be relied upon to give the fans a real fight, even if he is on the losing end. and in this respect he is unlike the majority of the prelim- mary boys hereabouts.
 Popular Ben Turpln has been moved up from a curtain raiser to the fourth position on the program and will give a real test in his four round engagement with Eddie Acuna. Acuna recently went six rounds to a draw with Tiny Rayfield at Pres colt. thus establishing himself as one colt, thus establishing himself as one state Turp-n will be forced to. ex- tend himself to hold to even terms with tho Mexican.
 A battle royal with Rough House Olia as the real center of attraction is booked as the third event Rough House established himself with the Fhoenlx fans at the first American Legion indoor boxing card 10 days ago when he disposed of four husky negroes in quick order. He will have his work cut out for him in this bat rip rha matchmaker plaus

Leonard Claims His Brother Is
 Coming Champ

Benny Leonard. champion light weight of the world. figures the title is certain to remain in the Leonard family for some time.
 Don't get the impression that Benny thinks he will be able to keep on holding the title. He has younger brother in mind.
 Benny has unquestionably out grown the lightweight class. It is a certainty that he can no longer make the weight. Probably that was the real reason for calling off his bout with Lew Tender.
 Leonard's next bout will be for the welterweight title. He has de- signs on Jack Britton, the present titleholder.
 Of his brother Billie, Benny says, He is a better fighter than I ever was. He will be ready to hold the lightweight title when I am ready to graduate into the welterwelght class

IRepubllcan A. p. Leased WIreJ

TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 7-Sam Lang ford, Boston negro heavyweight, won the referees decision here last night in a 10-round bout with Lee Ander- son, negro light heavyweight. The decision appeared to be unpopular with the majority of the crowd. Ac- oording to the verdict of newspaper men at the ringside Langford had the better of one round, two were even. and Anderson had the edge in the remainder of the bout. Continual holding on by Anderson, for which he was cautioned number of times by the referee, is believed to have been largely responsible for the de- cision going against him.

Every advancement that has been made in carom billiards is due to the wizards startling conceptions and amazing skill.

From Quarry to Pulpit.

It was the unprepossessing appear
ance Of Or. Joseph Parker, the famous
preacher, which led to him being nick.
named "the Russian bear"
An American visitor who heard him
said he looked more like the captain
of a pirate vessel than a minister Of
the Gospel"
Talking Of DR.. Parker's early days,
Mr.. Albert Dawson Of the City temple
said that the minister's parents were
so poor that he went to school shod in
a pair of clogs with iron round the
soles. Ultimately he went to work as
a mason.
One day, however, while hewing
stone In the quarry, he exclaimed sud
denly: Hammers and stones tire
poor mems bones!" He threw down
his pick, went off, and never returned
to the quarry.
When he was twenty-three, he en-
tered the ministry, and married Annie
Nesbit, "the soul loved, the girl that
saved me and made me a man."

VARYING FORMS OF CURRENCY
In Many Parts of the World the Use
of Gold and silver Is Prao-
tlcally Unknown.

In odd corners of the world many
queer things are used as money.
In China you may find in circulation
Jumps of gold or silver bearing marks
which show that they were first issued
hundreds Of years ago. In shape they
are square oval or oblong, and they
weigh anything up to liz pounds, The
Chinese also use small strips Of brass
or copper, some Of which are worth
less than a hundredth OF penny.
Some Of the Mongol tribes pay their
bills with little cubes OF compressed
tea.
In Burma one finds the cowrle shell
used as money, while little porcelain
coins take the place of halfpence. The
inhabitants of some Of the districts
bordering the Persian gulf do their
buying and selling with fishhooks Of
various sizes.
Africa provides weird assortment.
Beads, elephant tusks and spear heads
are all used as coins.
In Oceania flint axes are the most
common means of exchange, but we
find considerable use made of parrots
feathers woven into ropes The real
wild red Indian hardly exists now, but
in a few remote countries, such as
Alaska, he is still to be found using
his shell money.

CONVERSE WITH THEIR TAILS
Student Of Natural History Writes Of

into one Of the leaders and see how
quickly all the flags are dropped, and
the creatures get out of the way, each
for himself. If you notice, the fox,
who has magnificent tail, does not
raise 1t aloft at all. He is a solitary
hunter and uses his brush chiefly for
a muffler, to keep his feet and nose
warm. But your dog does a good
deal Of his talking with his tail. You

Objectionable to the rest Of the COM

Where the Fish swarm.

There are rich fishing banks of huge
extent around Iceland, but the greatest
are around Newfoundland, and are SO
rich that fishing vessels congregate
there from America and France, as
well as Great Britain.
These banks are very interesting, for
they are shadows which overhang the
abysmal depths which fall quite close
by to as much as 1900 fathoms, or
more than four miles sheer depth.
There are fine banks all along the
Greenland coast, and plenty of fish on
them. But here TRAVELLING is impossible,
for the icebergs have covered the bot
tom with enormous boulders.

OPPOSES CASH BONUS
IN INITIAL NUMBER

Opposition to the cash bonus for
world war veterans has been voiced
In the Disabled Veterans Magazine,
official organ Of the Disabled Vet
Grams Relief Society, with head
quarters in Washington, which made
it's initial appearance in that city
Saturday. The publication states
unreservedly that the cash bonus
should not be passed because of the
economic burden it would place upon
the country as a whole and more par
ticularly the veterans themselves.
The magazine recommends land
grants and work as a compensation
for the veterans. 1t states that the
government must ga the money to
pay the bonus and it is "going to
get the money to pay this bonus out
Of each and every veteran who will
temporarily benefit by the plan"
"The veterans will be taxed for
each and every dollar that they re-
ceive as bonus" says the organ, "and
they will pay back more into the
treasury than they receive under the
false financial plan enormously de-
scribed as settling the nations debt
of gratitude to the men who served.
ct will cost over S6,000,000000 to
meet the bonus requirements of the
measure now pending in Congress.
This estimate includes the probable
cost Of administration. Does any
body for a moment suppose. or will
any sane man contend. that the gov
eminent can pay this stupendous
sum in cash without setting the en-
tire economic structure of the nation
in utter turmoil?

man who looks further ahead than
tomorrow will see the fallacy Of the
bonus system"

Twenty thousand cigars, specially
made for fashionable women, are now
on the way to London from Cuba,
according to a west end blender.
Many women are failing to find
satisfaction in cigarettes and are
turning to pipes and cigars. Women's
cigars are made of the finest Havana
leaf. Many smoke them publicly in
the restaurants, but they are small
and few people would distinguish
them from cigarettes Yet each will

County Agents Report Progress.

NOunty Agents Report Progress.
Various methods were followed
last fall by the county agents of the
Northern and Western States in
their efforts to convince the farmers
that field selection Of corn was
good thing which would amply pay
for any trouble involved. Similar
tactics may well be used this sea-
son, where for one reason or another
the local people are not in the habit
Of field-selecting their seed corn.
In Steele county, Mimi, selection
tween September 10 and September
20 was urged. The week of Septem-
Der "a was chosen as "good seed corn
week" in Nance county, Neb. It
seems likely that the corresponding
dates this year. will be the best time
to go out into the field and choose
the most promising ears, noting the
character of the plants on which
they grow and the details which in
dictate a vigorous and healthy con-
dition.
The county agent for Dakota coun-
ty, Mimi, report that a permanent
and reliable source of seed corn is
being developed by getting certain
farmers in the county to specialize
in seed corn work. They are asked
to produce dependable type Of inn
proved corn and to put in facilities
for drying and storing it properly.
The average farmers are also en-
outraged to select their own seed, but
the definite work of safeguarding
the seed corn supply Of the county is
being carried on with few men who
are really competent to produce GER.
titled seed corn and equipped to
handle it. Eventually it is hoped
that there will be a man in every
township doing this seed corn work
and, where possible, having seed corn
houses in which to dry it.
In Scott county, Mimi, last year,
1900 acres of selected seed were
planted. For their 1921 planting 80
farmers field-selected their seed corn,
and all had a surplus to SELL Stearns

Of this certified seed was awarded to

tribution for this year. The boys
and girls of the county include field

SEPTEMBER TINE TO
SELECT SEED CORN

Seed corn for next seasons plant
ing should be selected in the field
from the standing stalks in Septem-
Der. The disappointing search for
good seed corn every spring should
be sufficient reason for following
this practice, strongly advocated by
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture. ANY intelligent farmer
can go into his own cornfield when
the corn is mature and select high
grade seed if he has planted suitable
types of corn and cultivated prop
erly. If he has joined a county move
ment to develop certain standard va
rieties of corn which grow in that
locality, and if he raised these strains
on his own land, he may reasonably
expect market for any surplus
seed.

He frankly agrees that in New York and

not on the large scale prevailing be-

Mr.. Kramer said: "The most diHi-
cult problem that any State ever un-

for beverage purposes" and that the
problem was greater for the Federal gov
ernment than for the State. Many
communities had to accept Prohibition,
he said. when they opposed it and there
was no public sentiment for it, and that
this affected courts and enforcement
officials.
