A physician, who Is the owner Of a
number OF large apartment houses and
has reputation for being a very just
landlord, was asked IL he believed there
was any truth in the statement that GER
tain investors are dropping out of the
real estate market because OF the odium
brought upon property ownership by
rent profiteers.
"Poppycock." he replied. "Ill admit
that the owner who is dealing fairly
with his tenants Is often much maligned
as a result OF the present hysteria about
profiteering landlords, but 1 also believe
that the man who disposes of his hold

The worlds greatest optimist is a

that Los Angeles. with a present day

ton on the fact that the city increased
its population so per cent in the past
ten years.

the so per cent. increase will be main

French SpOrtdOm Is All Excited
About Bambino's Ability.

While Babe Ruth is languishing on
the bench for more than a month, all
because he disobeyed Commissioner
Landis's warning not to go barnstorm-

commenting on the Bambino, not be-
cause he has to stay on the bench,
but because he gets such a huge sum
for staying there.
In i sport letter mailed March %,
various French writer's have COM
mented on his pen swinging ability,
which they class as mightier than the
bat.
Paris. March 25.-The fame of the
the ocean and French publications
have recently been filled with the mar
rative of the superslugger's exploits.
He of the fifty-nine home runs is
not being exalted in France for the
number of fences he has driven the
ball over. but the dent he has made
in the bank roll of the club owners.
The swing of his bat is terrible but
the swish of his pen is deadlier," says
the staid Avenir, referring to the sign

THE virtuoso of the home run is
also an ace in the business end of it.

Never before in the history of local
matdom have four celebrities of the
standing of tonight's card appeared on
one bill. Either of tonight's bouts
could be classed a a headline battle.
National and international regulations
win be al stake in both bouts
The Buckley Grandavich bout
Which will open the evenings wrest-
ling program will undoubtedly develop
into one of the fastest bouts of the
Champion Ed Stranger Lewis, proved
his gameness and staying ability by
holding off the champion nearly a
full hour. Lewis was compelled to
apply nine headlocks before he was
able to subdue the giant Dalmatian.
Buckley, who makes his second APP
pearance in a local ring tonight, has
won many admirers among the Local
fans. The Ohio lad is fast and clean
on the mat at all times.
GObar a Giant in Size.
The Eustace-Gobar match which
will be the other main event of the
evening promises to be a real strength
test. Gobar, who is a giant in size,
will go onto the mat determined to
Guido the Kansan- The Hindu has
been up against nearly all the big men
in the catch-as-catcll-ca game and
feels confident that he can take, the
measure of the local favorite in this
evenings match. Much speculation
has been afloat over the EuStace-
Gobar battle and there are many who
believe the worldwide experience of
the East Indians will be too great an
obstacle for Eustace to overcome.
A special invitation has been ex-
tended to women fans to attend the
bout tonight. Many of the fair sex
were in attendance at the last match.
The promoters have made every effort
to conduct the wrestling bouts on a
clean and enjoyable basis. Nothing
offensive or Objectionable will be toler-
ated at any time.

TOOK THE OLD FISH AWAY.
Flood Helped Fishermen by Leaving
Clean Water Fish.

Emporia, Kan, April IA pecu-
liar within of the Cottonwood river has
resulted in a fish trade decidedly ad-
vantageous to the fishermen of the
upper waters of the river. Hundreds
of large channel catfish have come
upstream from southern Kansas. The
fish are excellent eating and have
replaced hundreds of fish which had
an oily taste and were unfit for table
use.
1t is believed that while the south
ern Kansas fish were swimming up
stream during the flood, the oily fish,
tired of swimming in water contami-
mated by oil from the Marion county
field, swan downstream with the
fresh water

FLOOD DOES CITY MOVING.
Solves Squatter Problem for Soft
Hearted Wichita Officials.

Wichita, Kan, April 1.-THE flood
has solved a difficult problem for the
city officials. Low lands, formed by
the Big Arkansas a few blocks from
the heart of the city, has been settled
with squatters. The squatters erected
shacks and tents and refused all or
ders to vacate for the proposed boule-
ward planned along the river bank.
They maintained that the land
formed by the river was under home
stead rights of the federal govern
ment and claimed title. Sunday after
noon and Monday morning the squat
tiers left their flooded homes for high
dry land. The streets of Squattertown
bore a Venetian appearance. The river
and the city now hold possession.
