WILLS KNOCKS OUT SMITH
EASILY IN SECOND ROUND
Challenger To Jack Dempsey's Crown
Quickly Succeeds Where
Firpo Failed

New York, Oct. 12.-Harry Wills
negro heavyweight of New York, last
night knocked out Homer Smith OF
Kalamazoo, Mich, in the second round
of a 15-round match in the Queens
borough Stadium, Long Island city.
Smith was knocked down five times
in the first round, but did not appear
to have been hurt by the body
punches of the negro as he went to
his corner.
In the second round Smith went
down once without being hit, but
jumped to his feet when the referee
started after him. Wills then clipped
him in the body with a left and he
went down for a nine count Regain
ing his feet he walked into right
that sent him to his knees. After a
count of two Smith rolled over on
his back, stuck his feet In the air
and was counted out.
The crowd seemed to take the
match as a Joke. Smith never once
made an effort to hit wills and he
apparently was little hurt when he
walked from the ring.
Smith was down on his knees from
a right to the body before a half
OF the first round had passed. He
took a nine count Twice more he
was on his knees for counts of eight
and was down twice for counts of one
Smith gained bit of notoriety by
staying 10 rounds with Luis Angel
Firpo before the Argentine fought
Jack Dempsey.
Smith weighed 100 pounds and

Celebrated Belgian Fowls.

The village of Bracket, in Belgium,
enjoys the fame of having originated
one OF the most celebrated races OF
dcn,a este fowls. The Belgians do not
hesitate to assert that the Bracket
hens are unequaled for the excellence
and number Of their eggs, while the
ROSTERS have developed, thanks to
generations Of cultivation and infu-
ence of "cI owing tournaments" a
power and rhythm of voice equal
ly unrivaled. The breeders have a
theory that the musical contests IN
which the Bracket rOosters are trained
serve to develop the peculiar quail
ties of the race. However this may
be. it is certain that cultivation has
differentiated these fowls from all
others.

to the door to carry them home; but
Jim desired to breast the storm. He

Self-Feeders for Swine
Fattening Reduce Cost

Wherever labor can be saved on the
farm and results accomplished just as
satisfactorily, by all means save the
labor. Results of experiments at the
University of Missouri College of Agri-
culture with s~elf-feeders for fattening
hogs show that those eating from a
s%elf-feeder gain more rapidly than
those depending on the h~and-feeding
methods. The amount Of feed neces-
sary to produce a pound of pork re-
mains practically the same, but the
amount Of labor is usually reduced. 1t
is this decrease in labor which enters
as a factor q oheapening the cost OF

CHAPTER TX
The Brown Mouse ESCAPES

Jennie looked Jim over carefully.
His queerness was taking on a new
phase-and she felt a sense of sur
prise such as n experiences when
the conjurer causes a rose to grow
into a tree before your very eyes.
II think we lose so much time In
school," Jim went on, while the chill
dren are eating their dinners"
well Jim," said Mrs. Woodruff,
''every one but you is down on the
human level. The poor kids have to
eat I"
"But think how much good educa-
ton there is wrapped up in the school
dinner-if we could only get 1t out"
Jennie grew grave. Here was this
Brown Mouse actually introducing the
subject Of the school-and he ought
TO suspect that she was planning to
line him up on this very thing-if he
wasn't a perfect donkey as we'll as a
dreamer. And he was calmly wading
into the subject as II she were the
ex-farm-hand country teacher, and he
was the county Observation-Disclosures
"Bating a dinner like this, mother"
said the colonel CALAMITY, as an edu-
cation In itself-and eating some 9TH
ers requires one; but just how 1arn-
in is wrapped up in the school lunch
Is a new one on me, jim"
"Well," said Jim, "in the first place
the children ought to cook their meals
as a part of the school work. Prior to
that they ought to buy the materials.
And prior to that they ought to keep
the accounts of the school kitchen
They'd like to do these things, and 1t
would help prepare them for life on
an intelligent plane, while they pre-
pared the meals"
isn't that looking rather far
ahead?" asked the county s%uperintend-
~ent-elect.
TITS like a lot Of other things we
think far ahead" urged Jim. 1.-The
only reason why they're far off is be-
cause we think them so. It's a thought
and a thought Is as near the mo-
ment we think 1t as 1t will ever be-"
81 guess that's SOTO a wild-eyed
reformer," said the colonel. but go
on. Develop your thought a little.
Have some more dressing"
Thanks, l believe I will" said Jim.
"And a little more of the cranberry
auce. No more turkey, please"
I'D like to see the school class that
could D this dinner" said Mrs.
Woodruff.
''Why," said Jim, you'd be there
showing them how! They'd get cred
its In their domestic economy course
for getting the school dinner-and
they'd bring their mothers into 1t to
help them stand at the head of their
classes. And one detail Of girls would
cook one week, and another serve.
The setting Of the table would come
In as a study-fowers, linen and all
that. And when we get a civilized
teacher, table manners"
I'D take on that Glass;" said the
hired man. winking at Selma Carlson,
the maid, from somewhere below the
salt. 1.-THE way / make my knife feed
my face would be a great help to the
children"
"And when the food came on the
table," Jim went on, with 3 smile at
his former fellow-laborer, who had
heard most of this before az a part
