VILLA GOES ON WITH WILDE IN
 NEW YORK RING
Clever Filipino Flyweight and British Champion Will
 Fight Tomorrow.

NEW YORK, June 15.-(By the Associated Press.) - Rancho Villa, born Francisco Guilledo. the tiny Fil- ipino who will meet Jimmy Wilde the Welshman in a fifteen-round con test at the Polo Grounds tomorrow in an attempt>to win Wilde's world flyweight title, is one of the greatest little warriors the ring game has known.
 The terror of all the youths in his native island home of lloilo, in the Philippines Villa was fashioned into a boxer in 1918 by an American patron of the game of flsticuffs. Villa was then 1T years old. He entered the professional game in the Philippines in 1919. and for three years he fought without losing sin gle contest.
 His early opponents were bantams in four and six round bouts. Terri ble Pondong, the ugliest and heaviest hitting little man in the islands; {; Stiff Trineo and Battling Baibarino two of the smartest bantams, were unable to defeat Villa Balbarino tried no less than ten times, and the best he ever got was a draw. George Mendres, the Australian fly weight title-holder, was knocked out by Villa in three rounds in 1921.
 Villa has had unusual success in the United States. He knocked out the veteran Johnny Buff in the elev- enth round of a terrific mill in Brooklyn last September and won the American fly-weight title. But he lost this bit of treasure several months later to Frankie Genaro, New York Italian. Genaro and Villa fought toe to toe for fifteen rounds, and Genaro was awarded the judges B decision. Some newspaper boxing ex- perts declared. however. that Villa should have received the verdict.
 Villa lost but two contests before coming to the United States. one a decision to Francisco Conception in four rounds. and one foul to Eddie Moore Genaro was the only man to draw an official decision over the Filipino in this country.
 Villas fighting weight is 110 pounds. He is a tireless. offensive fighter with strong punch fin either right or left His best work has been done at close quarters.

PROMISING ENTRIES
 FOR WESTERN MEET

CLEVELAND, June 15.-(By Asso- ciated Press.) - When Chick Evans comes here to defend his title in the Western Amateur Gold Champion ship, to be played over the Mayfield Country Club course July 23-2S, his stiffest competition probably will come from Buddy Knepper of Sioux City. Bobby Jones, of Atlanta, has announced he will not be a partici- pant, while Francis Ouimet is con sidered doubtful starter.
 Other promising entrants are liar rison Johnson of St. Paul: God chaux of New Orleans and Boyd of Knoxville.
 Indications, according to golf ex- perts. here, are that Knepper will beat his best this year. They point out that he struck his stride for the first time last year and easily was one of the ranking players of the season. His work in the national amateur at Br,okline was not many strokes below the best form shown by Sweeter, Evans and Jones.

INTERESTING, But
NOT TRUE, STORY
ABOUT A CROOK

An interesting canard gained wide
currency recently to the effect that a
famous retired crook, caught beating
a slot machine by depositing a slug
instead of nickel, was carried on the
pension list of the American Bankers
Association. The idea was that the
pension kept him from robbins banks,
but r. NJ Shepherd, executive man
ager of the Association, promptly
spoiled the story.
There is absolutely no basis for
this report" he said. "The American
Bankers Association conducts a pro-
tective department to prevent and
prosecute criminal activities against
banks who are members of the Asso-
citation, with the idea of safeguarding
property and bringing just punish
ment to offenders, but 1t is no part
Of the work of the Association to buy
off criminals directly or indirectly.
The rules Of the department expressly
provide that no case once committed
by q member bank to the Association
can be taken out of its hands, nor the
offense condoned or compromised.
Much less would a blanket compro-
mise with the criminal proclivities Of
any crook by means of money tribute
be entered into by the Association.
The only pension list the Association
has Is one for retired employees In
recognition for long and meritorious
aerviceS."

FARM DRUDCERY LESS
100000 Farms Tightening Work
by Electrical Means.
On Others Women Carry an Average
of Forty-five Tons Of Water
Every Year.

Old fashioned drudgery without any
social compensation is decreasing
among the farms of America. This
can be positively stated after examin-
ing q survey of farms made by cleo
trical interests. The chief revelation
of that survey was that one-tenth OF
al the farms of the United States are
equipped for electrical operation.
1t sounds significant to say that
300 900 farms are now doing 1t cleo
trically." But 1t sounds even more
significant to state that there are
2,7O0 900 other farms where electricity
is unknown.
On these latter the old burdens are
borne In the old way. The women feel
them probably more than the men.
Any farm woman who has reached
middle life and who has never had an
electrical appliance in her house
knows how drudgery can kill the spirit.
The investigation mentioned brought
out certain information. 1t was found
that 81 per cent of the farm women on
unelectrified farms carry water from
the we'll every day and average about
forty-five tons of water year. Often
the women assist in the dairy work OF
the farm, and Ss per cent Of them
wash the milk pals, while IS per cent
clean the cream separators.
In their daily housework-the same
sort of work that city housewives per
form-s4 per cent Of the women do
their own baking and 95 per cent Of
them do their own sewing.
They cannot fall back upon the con-
venient corner bakery or grocery for
q loaf of bread or a dozen or so of
rolls. Neither can they readily call IN
a dressmaker when they want to have
new clothes. And on most farms the
MONDAY meal is the big meal OF the
day, representing an appalling amount

The aggregate of electrical output
in the nation or state constitutes the
the most sensitive gauge of business
conditions. Consequently it is of
great interest to compare the steady
increase in the electrical usage of
that part of southern Idaho served by
the Idaho Power Company with the
total of the United States.
Just as the 10 per cent drop in 1921
for the electricity used all over the
United States indicated national bust
ness depression as the increase in
1922 pointed to the recovery.
In the case Of southern Idaho, hon.
ever, the Idaho Power Company's re-
cord shows no such depression, but a
steady yearly increase for the six
years since the company started
This indicates that, while there may
have been individual and local bust

reality the general economic condition

FASCIST DE-
STROY COOPS

NEW YORK.-The liquidation of
the Italian Cooperative Wholesale
society, as a result of the large losses
caused by the damage inflicted by the
Fascist, is announced here by the Co
operative League. The black shifted
terrorists have looted or burned to the
ground hundreds of cooperative stores,
besides killing or depOrting scores Of
cooperative managers.
To avoid further losses, it was de-
cided to close up the wholesale. Con-
sequently, for the next few years, the
thousands of Italian cooperative stores
will be forced to obtain their stocks
from private wholesalers.
National cooperative declarations of
many countries have sent protests to
the Italian government against the
campaign of destruction wageo
the cooperative movement by italian
hirelings of private business interests
the league announces.
The Italian cooperatives, before the
fury of the Mussolini regime was
turned against them, had attained q
strength perhaps unequalled in any
other part of Europe. In the cities
! they took the form of consumers CO.
operative associations. In the country
they developed into agricultural coop
! eratives, which were in effect farm
ers' unions, bargaining with the land,
/ lords, conducting communal educa
tional enterprises, and buying land.
