the best teams In the county, never
have they had a team that hasn't been
able to finish in the money. No trou-
BILE has ever been caused from their
players and the town supports the

The general condition of the world,
taken all together, is worse today than
it was at the height of the war, and
not the least important element Of the
situation is the almost total lack of
pubic appreciation of what the wal

was from a wholesale collapse of civil
lizaton. and how much of war still
vexes ,hc earth even today.

illustrated booklets descriptive of the
opportunities that this county offers
to the prospective homeseeker, from
every nook and corne rof the globe,
whose eyes are turned to Florida.
Through persistent advertising Of
this kind Mr.. Hall is able to place in

we need in our county today is more
hustling, progressive farmers, who
are poised on the conditions in the

position 20 cooperate in marketing
their produce to the best advantage.
We have one or two men who landed
in this county during the past winter,
who made more than enough off their
produce grown this spring to pay for
the farms which they purchased
What these men have done, others
can do. Suppose we all get busy and
boost this section. 1t is the best place
in Florida to live, We have good soil
excellent transportation facilities and
good roads, and no matter what line
of farming a man cares to engage in
he can make a success of it.

BETTING is LIGHT ON
THE BIG FISTFIGHT
associated Pressl

New York, June Wagering on
the Dempsey-Carpentier bout for the
worlds heavyweight championship at
Jersey City, July 2, is extremely light
despite interest on two continents
that promises to eclipse that evidenc-
ed in any previous title battle. Both
men have numerous admirers who, as
yet, have failed to back their opinions
with much money. Stimulated wager
ing is expected on the eve of the bout
wit ha probable inflow of currency
from France.
According to figures at which some
money has been wagered in Wall
street, Jack Dempsey seems likely to
go into the ring an odds on favorite
at 3 to L. Although in past bouts
for the title the champion, almost in
variably has been the favorite. not
since the Sullivan-C -Corbett battle has
the title holder been so strongly ia
fover in bout of major worth Sui
Ivan was 4 to l choice over "Gen-
tleman Jim" Willard was a 2 to L
| favorite over Jack Dempsey when the
challenger won at Toledo. Jim jeff
ries entered the ring favored at 2h
to l to beat Jack Johnson at Reno.
Johnson, three weeks before he met
Jess Willard at Havana, was a 8 to 1
favorite but these figures shifted as
the day of the bout approached and
| the negro climbed into the ring with
the odds of only to in his favor.
Jim Corbett was approximately 2 to
shot over Bob Fitzsimmons when
they met at Carson City.
The total amount of money wager
ed on the coming battle to date is
estimated by New York sporting
man not to exceed $4,000 A large
part of this amount has been placed
in so-called "freak" bets. Odds of 9
to have have been quoted that Demp-
sey will win by knockout. Persons
who back Carpenter to drop Demp-
sey for the count demand odds of 2u
to S. Odds OF 10 to l have been ask
ed by persons who would wager that
Carpenter will not answer the bel
for the third round.
Paris, almost hysterical in its en-
thusiasm for the French war hero
nevertheless is dubious when money
is mentioned. Word, received here
states that Dempsey rules as to {
favorite on the boulevards, with little
money placed.
Betting men believe that the lack Of
wagering is due largely to the fac
that Carpenters supporters desir,
unreasonable odds, Also, they declar,
that the international aspect of tn,
contest, while making for the unusua
interest which will draw the creates
~gate" in the rings history, is large
| ly sentimental and not conducive t,
heavy wagering for that reason.
'Fhe bout does not compare witt
the Jeffries-Johnson and the Willard
Dempsey battles at correspondent,
period" one Broadway was declared
There was at least S2,000,0 600 wager
, ed on the result of the Toledo battl
! and it is safe to say that as much o
. more changed hands at Reno whel
Jeffries lost to Johnson"
