HOLCOMB-SPARKS
!. BOUT CANCELLED
Fighters Couldn't Agree ON Adyertls-
ed Exhibition Bout at Athletic Club
Last Night-Six Good Scraps Were
Staged.

A good boxing program greeted the
members of the athletic club last nlBht
despite the failure OF the advertised
match between Holcomb and SPARKS,
the latter OF Pocatello, Tn mhterillze.
Five bouts kept the members interest
ed and elamoring for more.
Holcomb trained several weeks, he
says, with the idea that he was 10 op-
pose some man In an honest to good
ness scrap. When Sparks arrived
from Pocatello he announced that he
would only fight an exhibition sparf1ng
match with Holcomb thereby following
the instructions of his manager.
H0lcOmb's Claim.
Holcomb who has been seeking a
match with Spug Myers, claimed lhat
this would be unfair TO him and he
would not run the risk OF any III repute
that might follow in case he laid down
I'm the ring. Coach Gibson was signed
TO oppose Sparks in an exhibition
match and made a creditable showing
despite his lack OF recent training.
The Johnson-Ziek match was really
the best OF the evening. Both showed
willingness TO give and take and did
so freely Johnson might have had the
edge but there were many barKers OF

a general way, farming is linn
tied and if farming is limited so
prosperity is limited in Villas
county as we are witnessing the
passing of our lumber industry
Outside of a few big operations.
villas county has cleared in the
past five years at total of about
thlrty-five hundred acres. Com
pare this with the record of Ed.
Mitchell, a Spider Lake farmer.
who this season cleared twenty
1--WE acres of land. The best part
OF 1t Is too that Mr.. Mitchell is
not a young man but a man fifty
years OF age and not particularly
experienced along the lines of
farming. For many years he has
been resort farming, depending
only IN a small measure on his
agricultural operations but on ac-
count of domestic help situation
and sickness of his wife, he de-
termined to abandon the resort
business for the season at least.
and spend his time clearing land.
The twenty-five acres of clearing
which he was able TO get is evid-
enee that he was an enthusiastic.
industrious, land clearer.
If one man can do things like
this there are many more Villas
county farmers who can do as
well, and if we can soon have
Villas county farms with thirty
five or forty acres on each farm,
then we will begin to realize true
agricultural prosperity. Marin
cite county is clearing at the rate
of about twelve acres per farm
this year.
What will Villas county do next
year? We are going to write
more about the Villas County Land
Clearing Organization in succeed
ing issues.

mite for land clearing at car
load prices. and bankers and bust
ness men as well as farmers are
the men who are behind the conn.
ty-wlde movement in a big way.
In the past, no extensive cam
paign has been possible. There
fore, the number of farmers who
have participated in the benefits
have been limited. Many farm
ers who were not reached AT the
time the car was ordered. have
not been able 10 secure their ma
terial as they would have liked
20.
As the first move in the plan
for land clearing work. arrange
ments have been made by the
county agent through cooperation
of the banks and other interests
concerned. TO provide carlot head
quarters IN all the necessary trade
centers in the county. From these
headquarters, earlot prices plus
a very small margin, will be cost
of the dynamite to the farmer
for land clearing. The advantage
alone that Is TO be gained from
such an arrangement 20 the farm
ers themselves will mean much
more than the entire cost of the
county agent to the county.
When the car of picric acid now
being distributed is ali out. the
farmers of Villas county will have
purchased over 10000 pounds of
land clearing explosives this fall.
When we consider the small num-
Der Of farms in Villas county, this
figure Is an extraordinary show
ing. In fact there is no similar
district in all upper Wisconsin,
or for that matter any of the
cut-over districts in the United
States, that has used as much
explosives per man as Villas coun-
". This is certainly a signal for
big things in 1922.
Last spring a start was made
towards an organization but on
account of the change in the
county agent and the fact that
land clearing work was new from
an organization standpoint, little
except interest was stirred up.
However. many farmers were
started thinking and therefore
began to clear land in a much
more enthusiastic manner. To
put over a big land clearing cam
paign requires leadership and it
Is not to be expected that any
one farmer or any one banker or
any one business man of any
kind, can devote a large portion
Of his time TO a development of
land clearing work and neglect
his other business. Therefore, II
is very essential that the county
agent or some other man make
II their specific job to carry on
the work of the organization
Realizing this. everybody Is plan
ming on giving Mr.. Gibson the
needed help for the 1922 cam
paign. Just what will be the
county quota it is too early TO
say. Il will certainly be a cred
table showing and place Villas
county in the ranks of the leaders
in development of upper Wiscon-
sin.
Villas county today has less than
twenty acres of cleared land on
each farm. This means that IN

Advertising Reduces Prices.

Persons who have not given the
subject of advertising serious
thought may be inclined to believe
that standard products could be
sold cheaper if the manufacturers
did not spend so much money in
advertising them. The contrary
is the truth,
Every concern which seeks
general market for its goods finds
it necessary to set aside a sum
each year for advertising, and
this is charged as a part of the
operating expenses, the same as
rent, fuel or insurance. The aim
of the advertising manager is
to buy the largest possible circu.
lation among persons who would
be interested in his product.
Every manufacturer has certain
fixed charges which must be paid
out of the receipts from the bust.
ness, and the larger the volume
Of business that can created the
less per article is charged for the
payment Of overhead costs. This
volume of business is obtained
only by creating demand for
the goods, and it is most quickly
and cheaply done by direct ap.
peal through the newspaper.
The same principle which OBJ.
tains in the case of the general
advertiser could be applied in the
business Of the smallest merchant.
The quicker the turnover which &
dealer is able to make the sooner
his profit is obtained and the cash
put in the till for new purchases.
Advertising of the practical kind
will help to make quicker sales
and more frequent profits. The
result is that the retailer, with the
aid of tbs general advertiser, Is
able to maintain standard prices
and quality in the widely adver.
tised articles .--Ex.
