"The drier the corn the higher

.'In TINS past, when corn was
very cheap, it has been burned as
fuel in the United States, but
mostly on farms. In Argentina
both corn and small grain are
sometimes burned as fuel, not
alone on the farms but in power
plants. Undoubtedly large guam
titles of corn will be burned ON
western farms this winter unless
the prices should materially ad-
vance. The farmer will find the
corn cheaper fuel than coal, and
in addition will save the cost of
hauling the corn to town and
hauling the coal back. People in
the country towns in the sections
of cheap corn will probably find
it will pay them to buy ear corn
for their furnaces and heating
stoves unless coal should decrease
considerably in price or corn
should advance"

CORN TO BE USED FOR FUEL
Cheaper Than Coal in Some Sec
tions, 1t Is Said.

Secretary Wallace, of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, said re-
Gently:
ear corn at 20 cents a bushel
is equal in fuel value to fair
grade of western soft coal approx
| imately $40 a ton. In districts
where corn is very cheap now the
coal is usually of rather poor
grade and is selling at high prices.
Under such conditions it will pay
both farmers and people in coun-
| try towns to use corn instead OF
coal.
Because of the variation in
quality of both corn and coal it
is difficult to make scientific ex-
periments the results of which
are applicable everywhere, but,
speaking generally, the relative
heating values of corn and coal
are about as follows:

the Wop battle has been reached on
November 23 in the arena of the Pue-
bio Athletic club.
The bout will be staged at the new
horne of the Pueblo Athletic club on
212h West Seventh street. and the
route between two of the best bantams
in the west should be a record breaker
for attendance.
The fighters have agreed to make
lis pounds at ringside and 1t will be
a bantam clash of bonafide order.

when the Pueblo Athletic club had
the match practically closed. but Buck
Weaver manager of the Wop, con-
ceded to the stringent requirements of
Rivera's dictator.
Both fighters appear to be the only
objection to the high honors in the
bantam class in this state, and in
their fight here a few months ago
fought a hard draw.
Joe koffee a contender among the
bantams lost decision to Rivera last
summer, but is still considered by
some of the fans as another opposition
for the bantam crown of the state,
and then there are some heavy ban
tams that would probably lay claim
to the title to be fought for between
Rivera and Wop. but the lis pound
fracus on November % seems to be
the best logical bet. Some of the re-
quirements made in this match would
make heavyweights of many of the
bantams we read about.
The Pueblo Athletic club staged
their first bout of this season last
month, and for an opening event Of the
year gave the fans fast and good
boxing show. The elimination of Pa
gano from the bantam program by
the club in the search for the champ
resulted in a fast fifteen round go,

for twenty rounds between two pre-
mier mitt weilders of the calibre of
Wop and Rivera will hit the nail on
the head SO to speak. in deciding and
clearing up the lis pound bantam
muss. in the opinion of the fight fans.
Twenty rounds will give the fans
about the necessary length that should
decide the superiority of one OF the
two fast bantams and will be the first
scrap of this duration held here in the
past two years. This feature much
