He told me that the principal rea-
son for desiring universal military
training. was that the young men of
the country might learn to take or

men who received military training
were not inclined to disobey and that
this country's property interests were
in great danger That the large for
tunes would be broken up by legisla-
tion or revolution unless something
was done to make the young men of

Concluding his address President
Simpson said: "War cost this nation

much greater than that of dollars.

FOOLISH WIVES OF HISTORY
"Mrs Abdul Hamidv

Mrs. Abdul Hamid was the wife of
Abdul Hamid, Sultan of Turkey and
keeper of the best assorted Harum in
all the Orient. Mrs. Hamid knew
that Abdul was flitterer, but did not
suspect him of twenty odd wives
She was married to Abdul one day
and moved into his shack on the
Golden Horn, the next. Then her
surprises began. Every time she
moved from one room to another. she
would meet one of her husbend's
stock holders. There were wives,
wives everywhere.
Soon after her arrival, the pres
ence of so many other wives began to
get on her nerves and she said. "Ad.
l am not the kind of woman to picl,
on my husband. 1 know YOU are no
banjo-but what's all them wives do
ing here?"
Abdul was taken back. He was a
bashfuI sort of Sultan and many is
the person into whose face he did not
like to look and to preclude the ne
cessity of which, he would do away
with the face while eliminating the
head. so he said:
"Dearest-there may be MANY wives
here, in fact there are-and they are
all mine, but you are the creme de La
creme and the favorite. You are the
one l shall devote my time to.
Mrs. Hamid felt injured, said she
was not going to share her spouse
with every Jane, Lizzie and Maggie in
the Orient and after a spell of jeal-.
ousy-got actually mad one day, put
on her best looking shroud and "blew
into the golden horn" Abdul lived
on and on till one Thanksgiving they
decided to do away with all the old
Turks-after which he became the
resting place of nice granite monu-
ment-which still stands at Stamboul.

brother. Mr.. S. says he had fine
time on his trip.
Mervin Ivy returned last week from
Salida, where he spent his holiday va

have fears that it won't always be so.
Mrs. E. R. Williams entertained a
number of her lady frineds yesterday

A letter to our townsman E. M.
Nourse, from Herbert N. Roe, of
Hutchinson, Kansas, announces the
death of his father, H. S. Roe, very
we'll known to many of our people.
He passed away on December 18th in
Hutchinson, of pernicious anemia.
Many years ago he was interested in
mining in Ohio City and we believe
still has property interests in that
place. He was very kindly man
and well liked by all who knew him.
The editor of this paper was very
we'll acquainted with him and ad-
mired him greatly. Sympathy of
many of our citizens will be with the
remaining relatives.

Ted as carefully took his seat in
Ned,s place and began rowing.
Tough is right" said Ted az he be-
a pulling the rather heavy boat
against a stin breeze.
There were rowing across the wide
river to a stream for a day Of trout
fishing and the wind was against
them.
III Uncle Ben hadn't made us
PROMISE began Ned. and paused.
But he did make us promise not
to put a sail in this boat, and that set
ties it," Ted said.
"Of course we can't break our
promise, but If We only could use a
sail we'd skim e there in no time
and without a bit Of work"
That's right. Ned, and we also
might get caught in a squall and tip
over"
Sure. That's why Uncle Ben made
is promise. Now if we had a boat
that wouldn't tip over with a sail"
"Catamaran!" shouted Ted, inter-
rupting his cousin.
Where? Which way? What is it,"
demanded Ned looking all around
while Ted laughed merrtly.
/. "A catamaran is a sort Of double
boat"
II know now" said Ned, but we
haven't got two boats. And besides
we promised not to put sails on any
boats"
Two big logs would do it," insisted
Ted.
And they wouldn't be a boat" ex-
claimed Ned.

Now this isn't a boat, and it can't

"Of course not-his only objection

put q sail on an ordinary rowboat be-
cause such boats are not made for

And SO they launched their cata-

LEONARD HAS
STIFF PROGRAM.
Britton, Lew Tender and
Rocky Kansas Booked to
Meet Champ Soon.

New York, June ia new fight
ing record is about to be hung up to
dry by Benny Leonard, who began
today in preparation for fights with
three of the toughest opponents in
the business within the extremely
short space of 80 days.
Jack Britton, worlds welterweight
champion; Lew Tender of PhiladelL
phia, and Rocky Kansas of Buffalo
are the trio who will meet Leonard.
Three bouts within a month will
net Benny at least a quarter of a
million dollars, and If he can drop
Britton, he will step into the welter-
weight championship of the world,
the fourth boxer to hold two cham
pionships. As Britton will not be
down to 1876 pounds, Leonard's light
weight crown will not be in danger.
Leonard's summer season will open
June 26 at the New York Velodrome
with B1tton in a fifteen round de-
cision bout. Eight days later he will
meet Rocky Kansas at Michigan City,
Ind. in an Independence day battle
for his crown, and on July 81 he will
for the worlds lightweight
in Jersey City with
Tender, recognized as the most
formidable contender
Only three men have held more
than one title at one time in boxing
history-Bob Ftzsimmons, Terry Nc
Govern and Johnny Buff.

MAY ARRANGE
MATCH FOR JESS
AND DEMPSEY
Kearns Leaves For East to
Confer With Richard on
Proposed Fight.

Los Angeles, June 16.-Jack
Dempsey, heavyweight champion
pugilist, may meet Jess Willard, from
whom he won the title, in a return
match next Labor Day, Jack Kearns,
manager of the champion, said this
afternoon.
Kearns said he was leaving for the
east tomorrow and while there would
take up propositions from Floyd
Fftzsimmons, promoter, of Benton
Harbor, Mich, and Tex Richard of
New York, for a Dempsey Willard
match.
Kearns said he received a message
from Fitzsimmons today asking If a
match could be arranged between
Dempsey and Willard, or Dempsey
and Brennan.
THE Willard match would be pre-
ferable to U.s." Kearns said, III the
terms are satisfactory and there is a
public demand for It,"
The manager said he had e an
interview with Willard in the Los An
geles Evening Express in which the
ex-champion was quoted as saying
Dempsey, through Kearns. had been
sidestepping a return match.
Willard may believe that, but
there Is nothing to it," Kearns declar-
ed.
Dempsey has always been willing
to meet him again if satisfactory ar
engagements can be. made, and 1 feel
the same way about it."
Wizards desire to meet Dempsey is
merely to satisfy himself and the pub
lie that he was not in condition dur
ing the Toledo bout and that it will
be a different contender for the
worlds heavyweight title when he
conditions himself. Willard is indie
pendently wealthy and will within
four months attain the pink Of condi-
ton. he says.
Before any match, which he would
prefer in October or November. he
will prove by gymnasium work with
any heavyweight that he is fit for the
battle for the championship. He de-
