Kearns Charges
Fans S1.1O to See
Dempsey Socked
by United Press Leased Wire

SARATOGA, n. Y, Aug. 25.-
Admission prices for the curious
who want to see Jack Dempsey
training for his fight with Luis
Firpo have been doubled to $1.10,
(ten cents war tax.) Customers
have been so few at the training
camp that 4 bigger head tax was
decided upon to meet the expenses
of training.
The champion did not think that
congratulation were in order when
it was learned that the boxing COM
mission had granted him n license
to box in New York.
'That was just formality. ]
haven t done anything to keep me
from getting n license Dempsey
said.
Dempsey was amused when he
read reports of the "beating' that
Jack Burke, one of his sparring
partners, gave him yesterday.
"He did sock me with some rights,
but that is part of training, to
take socks. l want sparring part
ners like that or they would not do
me any good,' Dempsey said.
Rickard Changes Mind
NEW YORK, Aug 25.-Hhaneine
his plans again Tex Rlckard said
today he might not apply for a per-
nit to stage the Dempsey.Firpo
heavyweight championship fight
until ten days before the fight.
Rickard had considered making
the application yesterday but he de
cided at the last minute to wait and
he merely placed in the hands of
the commission the signed contracts
of the principals.
This was done possibly to spike
the reports that Dempsey had not
signed the contract and that terms
had not been agreed upon. Before
returning to Saratoga, Jack Kearns,
manager of the champion, said he
had not signed the contract until
yesterday morning.
"That meant nothing however,
as | had previously signed an agree
ment to send Dempsey against Fir
po on September IA and the offo-
cial contract could not be signed
until we had straightened out some
very minor Details" Kearns said.

San Francisco. Calif.-Unconscio
81 months, Lieut. Henry B. Dyson
suddenly sat up in his bed at the
Letterman General hospital, the Pre-.
'sidio here, and is busy discovering
what has happened in the world dur
ing the four and half years of his
mental sleep.
The case is considered by leading
medical authorities to be the most un-
usual that has ever come to their at.
tention.
Lieutenant Dyson, just before the
armistice, was stationed at Schofield
barracks, Hawaii. He fell from his
horse, suffering a compound fracture
Of the skull, during army maneuvers.
Without any apparent cause he sud-
denly sat up in bed, demanded hear
ty meal and proceeded to question
nurses concerning the progress of the
war. He was amazed when told of
his four year sleep.
Physicians believe he has an excel.
lent chance to permanently recover.

ing Measures Before Houses.
st. Paul-Governor Preus, in a spe-
cial message to the legislature asked
for prompt enactment of cooperative
marketing legislation SD that Mime
sofa can keep abreast of other agri-
cultural states.
He referred in particular to the co.
operative ILLS which have already
been introduced in both houses, scat
ing that since the session is already
far advan ;ed it would De expedient to
take action cpon these me assures.
Within an hour after Governor
Preus had delivered his message to a
joint session of the senate and house,
the markets and marketing commit
tee of the senate met and voted for
passage the cooperative bill intro
duced by Senator C.. L. Hanson. Only
minor change to condense the
lengthy title of the bill was made.
Every effort will now be made to push
this bill to passage.
Governor Preus left his sick bed to
deliver his message to the legislature
and when il was completed he return
ed to his home at once.
I'm these times when the whole
country is seeking ways to rehabili-
tate agriculture by stabilizing prices
of farm products at levels which will
return profit to our producers" he
said, "the one outstanding fact is the
unanimity of opinion that cooperative
marketing of farm products offers the
best hope of permanent and lasting
solution of this Eroblem.
ut was the one proposal which re-
ceived the unanimous support of all
elements represented in the price sta
bilization conference recently held in

Minnesota has long enjoyed high
rank among the states whose farmers

universally recognized, however, that

ton to this importf Mt subject with
the hope that by your wise action you
may help to carry forward this impor-
