Steaming Up Willard Match.

SCANNING Up willard Match.
All the Richard crowd are trying to
steam up such a match. Dempsey
needs a couple Of fights. and is com
ing to New York to get them. Willard
looks softest and besides the best ad
vertising medium. So they are fran.
ing a battle of the century" for
early spring on Boyle's Thirty Acres,
with Willard as the victim.
Personally, after watching Jess for
a week. ia quit smoking cigarets two
weeks n fight him, give or take 200
pounds. But he can be press ACCENTED
into a couple Of million dollars.
The New York state athletic com.
mission will not stand for any match
between Willard and Dempsey. They
claim that Willard Is more than 40
years Did. II he IS under ~ he was
born two years after his father died.
Jersey Politicians Hungry.

which brings in politics-and when
ever you talk boxing down here you

 School consolidation, with special reference to rural districts, an educa- tional problem that has been receiv- ing critical attention in all parts of the United States for more than a decade past, is the. subject of two leaflets recently issued by the bu- reau of education, department of the interior. These two publications give the results of the experiments, as Colorado and one i'm Indiana, and offer convincing arguments. in favor of consolidation. s. l.
 The idea of rural school consolida- tion consists of eliminating the numerous district schools and cen tralizing the work in one or more strategic communities in each town ship. To these consolidated schools the pupils are transported in busses operated by the school authorities, and returned to their homes on well arranged schedules. The plan per mits of greatly reducing the number of teachers and the employment of a well selected staff of instructors for grade and high school classes.
 A report by o. H. Greist, superin- tendent of schools of Randolph coun- ty, Indiana, explains that the county Is divided into twelve civil town ships ranging in size from A to "A square miles.
 There were originally, 131 one- room schools located at the cross roads and two miles apart The coun- ty reported 16 of these as having an average daily attendance of five to ten, 12 schools as having 10 to 15, and 35 schools as having 15 to 20."
 A campaign for school consolida- tion was begun in 1900, and while op- posed at first the movement gradual ly gained momentum from year to year, until in March of this year only four of the 131 Aone-room schools re-

Pushing a decorated and specially constructed wheelbarrow around the world is a queer way of amusing one self as the old lady said when she viewed with a great deal of criticism. the contraption exhibited in front of one of Birmingham hotels for two or three days the past week; but, as this old lady said, there are all kinds of jobs to suit all kinds of people.
 Happy Jack Caves is the name of the owner-and incidentally the pusher-of the barrow that attracted the crowds in almost as large mum bers as Fanny, the elephant, did when she appeared on the streets to go through her dancing act to the accompaniment of the brass band. He is now on the home stretch and barring catastrophe should arrive at Boston, his starting point in three or four weeks, where $S0,000 will be waiting for him as his reward for winning the long distance endurance championship Of the world.
 Some society wishing to encourage interest in physical development and out-of-doors exercise as a means to- ward it, inaugurated soon after the end of the, war a contest to decide who should be the worlds physical endurance champion. The means of determining this was to stage q round-the- world foot race with a grand prize for the person who should get back to the starting place first and other prizes to those returning within specified times. A grand prize of $30,000 was announced and several other prizes, totaling S50,000, and the globe circling race began.
 Left Boston April 1, 1910
 Caves and several other ccmpeti- tnrS To Anril 1q1Q and tween then and his arrival in Birming ham a few days ago, has visited practically every country in the world, including those new European republics that were not created until after he started, such as Poland Czecho Slovika and Lithuania.
 Prize winners must complete the circuit of the globe within five years after starting out, according to the terms of the award, and 1t is also provided that in case all others droI out and are unable to finish on foot the remaining contestant shall be de- clared the winner of the total award $S0,000. There were IT who started out in 1919, but one by one they dropped out and either returned home or continued their globe-trotting by train and automobile. Just a few days ago, Caves learned that the last of his rivals had given up the race after getting as near to the goal a: Cuba on his way back; so he will bt declared the winner of the entire amount.
 Realizing the importance of pro- tecting himself and his chances at the prize against loss due to breakdown of his barrow, Caves decided to have it insured for $30,000. When he ap- piled for insurance, however, he met with some serious difficulties, He found that the companies were skeptical about giving insurance on such an odd piece of property as a wheelbarrow, even though that wheelbarrow happened to have ar important function in an $S0,00C
