AND THERE'S THAT

The Kilbourn Weekly Events has
been sold to Carl o. Freadrich, Ash
land county, and its sale marks the
retirement of one of the states most
picturesque editors, James b. Jones,
after almost two score years of SER
vice in newspaperdom The new edit.
or will take possession Aug. 1. Mr..
Jones makes note of his retirement
in his own column entitled, And
There's That.
Mr.. Jones came to Kilbourn in 1884
young Chicago reporter. He expect.
ed to remain two weeks, but instead
acquired an interest in The weekly
Events and remained to publish the
paper for 80 years and become known
as the Greeley of the Dells.'
His publication has been unique
its editor has never permitted scan
dial to appear in its columns. We
are little community, is his ex.
PLANTATION, and if one of us steals a
horse, the rest of us all know about
it. There is no reason the story
should appear in The Events.
Editor Jones was born in Virginia
and left the south when IL to enlist
in the regular army. He served as a
Dugler under Gen Custer In Arizona,
wyoming and New Mexico. Ee knew
Kit Carson and gained his first no
ton of literary work from an acquaint
ance with Ned Buntline, who made
Buffalo Bill famous.
Two years ago his fellow toWnsmen
at Kilbourn rendered an appreciative
banquet to the man who had chronici
ed the events of the little city for so
many years, and presented him with
a purse, which allowed Editor Jones
to start his first bank account and
purchase a Milwaukee Journal
The Review editor well remembers
the Kilbourn Weekly Events, both be.
fore and after J. e. Jones became the
owner and publisher He is well entitl
ed to be known as theN Greeley of
the Dells, and even a much larger
territory in Wisconsin weekly paper
circles. AS writer of human inter.
est stories of Kilbourn and its inhab-
itants, Mr.. Jones was in class by
himself and his long established rule
of ignoring local happenings of a
scandalous or other nature was only
one of many very desirable qualities
that endeared him to Kilbourn and a
large community thereabout.

1t is estimated about 100000 for
his fighting during the last eighteen
months. His fight with Willard nett
ed him $4,000 His two other big
fights of the year we're his knockouts
of Bill Brennan and Jack McAuliffe
11-both of which were staged in New
York.
The discussion amongst fans all
over the land now is whether Firpo
is ready for Dempsey; what chance
he would stand against the champion?
Is he at all scientific? Is he game ?
Can he take" Dempseys punches?
etc., etc.
None of those questions will be
settled until Dempsey and Firpo
crawl through ropes and fight it out.
The old saying, difference of opin-
ion makes a horse race, is as true in
the land of wallops.
Firpo is, not clever He is fairly
fast for big man. He can hit hard.
Whether he can hit a fast moving and
elusive target is yet to be learned.
He took all Jess Willard and Bill
Brennan could serve out-and never
faltered once. And this is Firpo's
greatest asset-the factor that makes
him dangerous even to Dempsey,
FIRPO LIKES TO FIGHT.
interviewing Firpo today for the
readers of The Review he had this
to say, through his man Friday"
| 1 never went into fight but that
deep down in my heart | felt conf
dent was going to win. About my
biggest fights recently can only say:
l thought l could whip Mes-te1
Brennan; | thought l could whip Mes
ter McAuliffe; thought I could
whip Mes-ter Willard, and
l think l can whip Mes-ter Demp
sey.
So there you are. If confidence
won all fights-Firpo is some day
going to be champion.
Records show, however, that some
mighty confident men have writer
their names with their ears on the
resined floors of the 24-foot ring.
In conclusion. The Wild Bull o.

joke of eighteen months ago il
amongst those. present today. Viii
Dempsey tame him?
Your guess is as good as ours.

NAMES FOR GIRLS

MATILDA is a name that has
AVA proved particular popular in

considered rather quaint and old
fashioned. 1t has always been a ia
Vorite In England. The origin of the
name was the middle high German
Mahthilt," which has a literal trans
iation or mighty in battle" The
ancient French version Of the name
was Mahald and the medieval Eng
ifsh, Molde. which gradually changed
into Mahaud and. later still. became
Maude. Today. however. Matilda and
Maude are considered generally as
two entirely separate names

and administered entirely by women, is

to bring into the homes of the students
the benefits Of the great scientific ad-
vances which the past hundred years
have produced" the President said.
"In the education of men technical and
vocational schools have been establish
ed in virtually every field Of endeavor,
while up to the present time the work
of training women for their responsible
ties in rearing children has not been
approached in a thoroughly scientific
manner"
The new courses. he explained. are
not designed to produce expert cooks
and masters in the art of keeping old

purpose will be to inculcate sound prin-
