STATEMENTS
OF FIGHTERS

Statements of principals on eve
of their important bout at Douglas
park, Rock Island, tomorrow after
noon:
WHITE-'This is my chance to
knock out the man who has caused
me more trouble than a score of
other boxers together. He is one of
the most elusive fighters in the
game today, but l am confident
that this time Johnny Dundee is
going to feel the full force of my
left book. 1t may come early in the
bout and may not come until late,
but you can rest assured that Mr..
Johnny will be nightly lucky man
of he escapes this time. He won
the decision when we last met in
New York and as a result lost out
on a sure decision match with Leon
ard and plenty of good coin of the
realm"
DUNDEE-"I have to laugh when
l think of White reaching me with
knockout drops. Willie Jackson is
the only one who ever did that, and
he made a mistake. I'll pepper
White with everything in the cat
egory of boxing tomorrow after
noon and he'll never have a chance.
He'll start in tomorrow trying to
hit me where he left off in New
York a couple of months ago.
HE says he'll knock me out? Say.
my hands are in better shape than
ever before and believe me if there
is a knockout tomorrow, Johnny
Dundee won't be on the receiving
end.

available boxers, but if there was
none handy he would merely in

ing and bag punching.
While the issue between Dundee
and White, to be settled tomorrow
afternoon along about 6 o'clock, is
naturally of paramount interest to
tri-city fandom and thousands of
Grotto visitors, nevertheless none
is overlooking the fact that Johnny
is at this time the storm center in
the efforts of the New York boxing
commissioner to declare Johnny
kilbane, featherweight boss, a past
champion.
Dundee created this situation for
kilbane by challenging him for
decision contest for the title and
posting $1,000 forfeit six months
ago as evidence of his earnestness.
Nationwide publicity attaches to
the efforts of New York to force
kilbane into a tilt bout with the
great little Scotch Wop battler.

He wants to fight the Cleveland
Irishman and win 1t fairly and

I'm absolutely certain that II

White Must Tip Balance at Proper
Figure to Save $1,000

To save his thousand dollar
weight forfeit, Charlie White must
scale in at 135 pounds or less at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Johnny Dundee, whose best fight
ing weight is between 126 and $50
pounds, has nothing to worry him.
Stepping on the scales will be a
mere formality for Johnny
White, however, dare not force
the balance down at a greater fig

the right of Dundee to claim the
$1,000.

circumstances will have several
pounds weight advantage on Dun

ring tomorrow afternoon along
about o'clock or after. Remem

and a semi-windup before the top
notchers make their appearance.

such famous topnotchers been
brought together in a local ring.

afternoon at o'clock, when the
first preliminary will be called.

The poultry industry Of Shenandoah
County is recognized as one OF the
leading industries and yet the poultry
raisers are not realizing nearly what
they should and would if better methods
OF management were put into practice.
Ii is not difficult to see how this branch
of agriculture is being neglected when
we realize that the average number Of
eggs laid per hen per year in the State
OF Virginia is only 46 while there are a
great many hens that lay three times
that number in one year The price Of
from 81 10 "a eggs, depending upon the
breed, is required to feed and house
Ia hen for one year so we can readily
see how much money is being lost an
nually by keeping the average hen. In
order that poultry raising may be made
more profitable in shenandoah County
we are arranging to puton a systematic

PROCURE BUTTER FROM FISH

1t Is not generally known that the
Indians Of British Columbia and AlTE
ka obtain their butter from a fish
known to scientists as the oolichan
1t Is from six to eight inches long and
very fat.
Every summer this fish comes from
the ocean UP the rivers to spawn, like
salmon. Millions are taken in nets
First they are thrown into rough bins
made Of cedar logs, where they lie for
a few days to soften in the sun.
Then they are placed in great cedar
watts of boiling water, the latter being
heated by hot stones which are dropped
into them. This primitive method of
heating has been found to produce bet
ter butter than when the fish are boiled
in the more orthodox fashion.
AS the Oil rises to the top 1t is
skinned off. 1t hardens quickly and
has the appearance of lard. Beauti-
fully white, it is not easy to detect 1t
from butter, there being not the slight
est odor of fish about it. The Indians
pack it In water.tight cedar boxes,
