pied the attention of the Polk County

unit idea in detail and explained the
financial side Of the matter. The state
government has apportioned $4,000,
which will Ire spent on four counties,
and the state board of health has de.
cided to offer Polk county the pri-
vilege of being one Of these counties.
$4,000 of the state money will be
spent in this county, providing the
county will appropriate like amount
to the work.

RACE BETTING
 IN PAST YEAR 7, 7. TAKES SLUMP r.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 20.-A slump of millions in the betting at the four one-mile race tracks in Maryland during 1921 over the preceding year was noted recently by track authori- ties! It was estimated that "plung- CTS" on the four tracks bet $24,500,- 900 less during 1921 than in the racing seasons of 1920.
 The state of Maryland, through it's $6,000 a day license fee and a 15 per cent tax on net revenue of the four tracks, will obtain approximately s700,0OO from the track owners. In addition to this Baltimore County will receive $72,OOO from Pimlico track by an extra tax of $3,000 per racing day.
 During the entire 1921 racing sea- son of ninety three days it is esti- mated that $39,500,OOO was bet through the pari-mutuel systems. The fall racing season of 1920 almost equaled this amount, when $38,700,- 900 was bet on the horses. The whole 1920 season, however, saw approximately s64,0OOO0O change hands on the results of races at the four Maryland tracks.

 Snowshoeing is one of the most popular pastimes. Gay parties set off on long hikes through the forest day and night. Over the hills they make their way, along the margin of ice- sheeted lakes, through intending woods of pine, tamarack and spruce, drinking in health with every breath, returning in the twilight with ruddy cheeks and sharp appetities.

DENVER OFFERS BIG PURSE FOR
 RING BATTLE

DENVER, Jan. 20.-Now, that heavyweight championship fight be- tween Jack Dempsey, the titleholder, and Harry Wills has again been
 brought to the front, Jack Kanner, Denver's midget boxing impressario, is out with proposal to stage the match in the Mile High City. Kramer declared he is ready to hang up purse of $100,000 for a twenty-round decision battle.
 While the majority of recent fights staged in Denver have been fifteen rounds or less the Colorado State law permits bouts of twenty rounds duration.
 "As matchmaker and an official of the National Athletic Club of Den- ver," Kaner said "I am ready, even anxious, to put on a Dempsey Wills
 battle for the heavyweight cham
 pionship. I have sufficient financial
 backing for such bout, and our club has a lease on the Stockyards
 Stadium. where the facilities are the equal of anything anywhere in the
 United States The Stadium has a seating capacity of 15,OO0, with space for several thousand additional tenn porary seats available.
 q have opened negotiations with the managers of both Dempsey and Wills and already have received as-
 surances from Paddy Mullins, Wills
 manager, that his fighter will meet
 Dempsey here on any terms that
 may be arranged.
 "I have seen both Dempsey and Wills in action many times, and, along with the opinion of many fol-
 lowers of boxing, I believe that Wills is the only man in the ring today who can be classed as worthy op- ponent of the worlds champion"
 Kramer has been interested in puglism for the last fifteen years, and for the last twelve years he has been following the sport as promoter
 and manager
 1 Here in Denver he has promoted successfully a number of the biggest battles staged within the Rocky
 Mountain region.
 "I have never staged heavy weight championship battle" said
 Kanner. "That is one reason why I
 am especially anxious to put on a Dempsey-Wil scontest. Another req ! son is that I believe it would be the
 biggest fight ever staged in the
 World-certainly a better and more
 even fight than the battle of the
 century between Dempsey and Car
 pentier last July Dempsey, as every | one knows. Outclassed the French
 man, but should he get into a ring | with Wills he would meet a man | who not only would be his equal in l every way. but who also might de- feat the champion
