NEW YORK, July IL Omitted
Press) Nothing in professional
boxing seems TO get over without
some kind OF an odor.
In many cases, the causes OF COM
plant are justified and the walls
arise from those who were unable 10
get their axe on the stone.
As long as decisions are allowed
and the system OF using two judges
to vote on the winner is used. some
one is bound 10 lose bet and the
noise always comes from the losing
section.
Taken as a whole. the Judging dur
ing the past two years in New York
has been good. Some mistakes have
been made, but there have been no
occasions when the mistake could be
proved intentional.
Benny Leonard said some time
ago that he never would run the
risk OF New York decision. but
when the proper cash Is put up tho
lightweight champion. he as we'll as
the other titleholders have shown
the inclination 10 take the long
chance.
The New York Boxing Commits
sion struck upon a good idea OF using
licensed referees In the judges pit
and Il was worked fine. There never
has been a murmur about a big bout.
When the boxing fans in Seattle
recently raised a row about the de-
cision OF the referees. Elmo Jones,
the chairman Of the commission.
told them:
ANY boxing fan who dislikes the
decisions rendered by the referees
and who thinks he can do better
may have the opportunity OF show
ing his wares at any OF the future
shows and will be paid for his ser
vices"
Major league umpires could close
a lot OF traps with a shot like that.
There seems 20 have been much
more umpire batting in the major
leagues this year than in the past
two seasons. Perhaps the players
are justified, because the work OF
the officials seems TO have been be-
low the standard.
Kicking against decisions on the
diamond is foolish. however, as
there isn't one arbiter in a million
who will change a decision.
When the issue is the proper in
depreciation OF the rule a polite OBJ
lection is sensible and II can be
taken up on protest. But time IS
only lost trying to tell the jumps that

fun time preaching, and hold their
pastor in very high esteem. Loving
tribute was paid TO his worth in the
dedication exercises by the various
speakers.
The Sunday School with Miss
Mona Goldston as Superintendent,
has an enrolment Of 24O. The in.
fiuence Of this school is felt in many
directions.
Among the speakers invited to
deliver addresses at the dedication
exercises were: w. Y. Boswell,
James D. Burton. DR.. w. E. Gal

Brock. Rev. Taylor, the pastor,
preached the dedication sermon at
night.
The Oakdale Baptist Church has
been the pioneer in religious work
in this field. It started with a one
room frame structure, and was the |
only church building in Oakdale for |
a number Of years. At this time
there was no resident minister of
any denomination in the town; to-
day there are two ministers employ
ed tor 1ulI time.
The Baptist church here has been
q big factor in the religious life OF
the many hundred railroad men and
their families during these years of
It's service to the community. This
terminal on the C.N.O& TIP. Rail
way. in its early history, did not
pay much attention to religious
matters. But today there are large
numbers OF men and women taking
IN active part in the work of the
;hurch and Sunday School. The
own now has q larger combined
:hurch membership than any other
point in Morgan County, with an
annual budget Of expenditures of
several thousand dollars.

NUMBER 81

some parts of this state in fertility
Of soil but what it lacks in some
things it makes up in others. After
all there is more in the man than
in the land. The hustling farmer
will do well anywhere. The poorest
farmer in Morgan County can keep
at least 100 hens on his farm and
with that number of hens he should
be able to get at least IS eggs a year
from each hen on the average. He
can keep a small flock Of sheep
which will bring in a small revenue
above the cost; he should strive to
have at least two or three beef ami
mails to cell every year; and Of
course he should keep or raise his
own meat and lard. This can be
done with not more than two hogs
of the proper size. What we are
stating here can be done, it is being
done in some places in Morgan
County.
There are quite good deal OF fer.
tilizers used in the county. More
perhaps than the results justify. A
great deal OF the fertilizer used 10 q
great loss. But fertilizer used intel
ligently and bought intelligentay
will produce a profit. To buy ferti-
lizer by the name or brand is cater
ing to the fertilizer companies and
will never be used at a profit no
matter what the cost. Fertilises
should always be bought by the an
alysis on the SACKS and never any
other way. This analysis should be-
stated plain and simple, not in
terms confusing to the buyer or the
inexperienced. When it is bought
in this way the fertilizer companies
will not be able to put of on the
farmers any bogus stuff. To farm
successfully a man must use his
head with his muscle otherwise he
is a failure, There is more in the
man than in the land. and can that
