COUNTY MUST PAY
 JUVENILES EXPENSE

Summary judgment was, entered in circuit court yesterday by Judge Dan A. Greene in favor of the Children's Aid society against NJ V Henry. county treasurer, for $40. covering the countys appropriation for the month of December. 1921, flor the care of children sent to the society from the juvenile court
 The treasurer had refused to pay the warrant issued ty the board of revenue for fear that it came within the appropriations specified by the state Examiners as being chargeable to him on his official bond as un- warranted expenses. The board of revenue some time ago considerably reduced it's annual appropriations for the various charitable institutions of the county.
 Following entrance of the judg- ment by Judge Greene, it was an- nounced by the treasurer that no appeal would be taken from the rul- ing of the court. The proceedings were of friendly nature instituted in order that the treasurer might have a court adjudication of the mat ter to protect his action.

New York City, which are said to be the largest shows in the world, can give no greater number of winning points than will be given in some of the breeds here.

stribling's recent victory over Freddie Boorde here caused his stock to begin a steady ascension in the estimation of local fans, and today he has hosts of admirers here. Etrihling will probably be favorits in tomorrow nights battle. for A champ is always 8 favorlts. Then. he has admirers who would be will ling to back him against any of the lighter Scrappers of today who made thair Headquarters below the Mason and Dixon line.
 The Strtbnng -BIanque scrap ia expected to be a more evenly matched affair that the strib- MnE-BOOrde battle, staged here some few weeks ago. striblinR outweighed BOOrde, but Sailor BInnque will be n match for the Macon scrapper in physique, and his superior in the matter of ex- perienee,
 Blanque Is 8 dangerous foeman at all times, and there will probably not be a moment in his bout with StriblinE that the Macon boy can relax his guard.
 BInnque in shape
 Sailor Blanque has been working out with his stablemates in New Orleans. Blanqus is a member of Fred Digbys string, and Digby has under his wing some of the best scrappers of the day. Marty Burke, Galiano. Howard and others have been Blanque's opponents in work out bouts. and the New Orleans tar is said to be in excellent shape for Monday nights bout.
 Blanque is a fast worker while ln the ring, and possesses a mighty shifty pair of dukes. He has speed in gobs, and can box quite well. Blanque has punch sufficiently dangerous to keep Stribling on his guard throughout.
 Blanque Mixer
 The New Orleans sailor boy is al- ways a favorite with a crowd. for the fans like the way he tears into his opponent with both gloves fly ing and his determination sticking out all over his countenance.
 Blnnaue will probably not he the favOrlte to win tomorrow nights bout, for stribIing iA Stribhng, and the fans know what he cnn do. The Macon boy's

 striblinS Dangerous
 Stribling is hard hitter, and he hits fast. He will give Blanque lots of trouble. and the Crescent City tar will no doub. watch very care fully to avoid all right swings O. crosses.
 The Stribling -Blanqus bout looks to be one of the classiest the local Athletic club has ever billed, and keen.
 The first preliminary bout tomor- row night will begin at S.S0 o'clock. with the main match following about 9:l5 o'clock.

If Jack Dempsey is awfuHy anxious to fight the toughest man among the aspirants for his crown, he ought to give battle to Tom Gibbons.
 All things considered, Gibbons has shown more fighting ability through the vast year than any of the men who want to take crack at the champions And certainly Gibbons, by knocking over something like .l men in his last = starts, has proved his greatness even to the most skep- teal.
 A year ago Harry Wills, the negro, loomed up at the most rornida.ie OF Dempsey's $ prospective toemen. But not now Wills hash accomplished anything remarkable in the year and has suffered some setpaeks. His failure to dispose of Bill Tate, who was Dempsey s sparring partner, brought about a big slump in the stock of the burly negro.
 Tate Was Easy

Tate IS said to have had N ills on the floor ln the latter con- test. and many righsiders claim that ealing the th.ng d draw was a great inJusuce to fatp.
 but at any rate, Wills, in failing to wnip a man wno was soft stuff, for dempsey, has proved that he either has been overrated for a long, long while, or that he has gone pack considerably.
 Gibbons Coming
 While Wills was slipping, Gibbons has been coming. And m spec laoular way No heavyw eight of any era-and that includes Dempsey him self-has accomplished anything within a mile of Gibbons Knockout record. Tommy has tucked no one. ie has taken on all who come, He has gone out of his way to get fight.. And all except Bartley Madden were knocked out,

And no man has ever kissed me
-since you went away
The Fortune Hunter flushed
scarlet; an intolerabls sense of
shame seemed to choke him. He
walked away from her and stood
looking out over the river with
hot eyes.
He had done many questionable
things IN his life. and felt little
compunction. Many times In his
wanderings he had walked boldly
into n restaurant. eaten a. hearty
meal. and got out Of the place
without paying a cent for q.
More than once he had thrown
the bag containing all his worldly
belong ngs out Of his lodging
window. and followed Il down a
water-pipe into the street IN order,
to avoid the possibility Of meet
ing his bin. and IL had all seemed
more or less sport.
But this-somehow this thing.
which gave promise to be the
greatest adventure OF all. went
soreiy against the grain.
.'It win have to end" he told
himself grimly. as he ssood and
stared at the river.
He had taken many q kiss in
his life. and thought nothing OF It.
but this girl was different She
loved him; or. at least she loved
the man whom she believed him
70 be.
And little breath OF cooiness
swept through the heart Of the
Fortune Hunter as he thought OF
the man lying dead In the woods
with the bracken bending above
him.
The whole thing was madness.
Discovery was bound to come.
For an hour or two perhaps he
might carry the situation with q
high hand-iong enough to get a
good meal and fresh courage with
which to face his wanderings--
