MOT only the politicians. but all
other Americans are Intensely In
terested In the prospective candidacy
of Henry Ford for presidential nom
ination. The vague talk that has been
heard for months and even years has
within the last week or two crystal
lised into definite movement" which
demands recognition. Ensel Ford is
quoted as saying his father is seri.
ously intending to enter the race and
actually means to stand for nomina-
tion. Whether he will seek the NOM
nation from the Republican or the
Democratic party or will head an In
dependent ticket Is not yet known; and
Is the question that Is causing the
politicians considerable anxiety. The
Republican leaders say they are not
worried about 1t, since Ford was a
Democratic candidate for the Michi-
gan senatorship. and that. even II he
did enter the Republican primaries,
he would not cut much Of figure.
It is generally believed Ford will
be the nominee Of third party, and
II SO, he will have the support Of
William Randolph Hearst and all the
Hearst newspapers. In published in
terview Hearst said: IF the presi-
dency Of the United States were to
be settled by popular vote today
Henry Ford would be President, and
/ am with him because Of this. He is
the man that should have all the peo-
pies support. But the only way
Henry Ford can ever run for the pres
idency will be to run as an independ-
ent candidate. am great believer
In Independence and for that reason
want to stand with him In his great
i fight for recognition"
The American Economic league, or.
ganIzed to sponsor third party
movement, was in session in Omaha
last week, and its president, Roy NJ.
Harrop, said there was no doubt that
Ford was its choice for the presi-
dency, that the league already was
active In II states in efforts to get

cURRANT- -GoOSEBERRY
PESTS CAN BE CURBED

For the last several seasons
there has been an increasing num-
Der Of gooSeberries and currants
that have the fruit infested with
a small white maggot. This is not
the same maggot as the cherry
maggot, but is a near relative. The
cherry maggot will not go onto the
gooseberry or currant, nor will
the currant and gooseberry mag
got go onto the cherry. The ad-
ult of the gooseberry pest is a
small fly with dark bands across
the wings.
The pest spends the winter in
the soil beneath the bushes. When
the warm spring rains and sun
light come, the flies emerge, which
occurs shortly after blossoming
time. When the fruit is formed
the fly lays an egg inside the
growing fruit. The. egg matches
into the small white larva. The
larva continues to work about in
side the pulp until nearly mid
summer when it is full grown. 1t
then drops or crawls from the
fruit and enters the soil where it
remains until spring when it
emerges again as fly.
Many different systems Of com
trolling this pest have been tried
The most effective where there is
a considerable infestation is the
use of the poison bait spray. This
is made with lead arsenate, one
half pound to s gallons of water
(or one ounce per gallon) molas
ses, two quarts. Give the bushes
three applications, starting when
the fruit is well formed. The OBJ
iect is to make this material stand
in small droplets on the leaves so
that the flies will be attracted to
it and sip at it and thus suffer
from the effects. If rains should
occur after spraying, repeat the
as the rains will wash
it off.
Other supplementary measures
which may be used are keeping
the ground cultivated thoroughly
during the fall and the spring.
This stirs up the pupal cases and
exposes them to the sun and air
and to birds and chickens. 1t also
results in crushing many of them,
Turning chickens into the patch
after harvest to eat the infested
fruit and to scratch for the mag
gots which have entered the soil
is also a good practice.
With the increasing amount of
the maggots which is appearing,
all growers are advised to be
thorough in the application Of the
poison bait spray and to do all
that can be done to check this
pest. If this is not done much
damage may be expected to result
not only this season, but in other
seasons as well from the mroads
of this pest.-Puyallup Valley

HALTED
 
REFEREES WORK WAS FAULTY, IS BOXING MEMBERS BELIEF;
 FIGHT RECEIPTS ARE $1,lSS,S22

New York. Sept. ie,-New York
 State Athletics commission took no
 eofnizanee. officially of the Demp-
 ssy-Firpe heavyweight champion ship battle yesterday despite reports
 that it might act upon the criticism
 directed at Referee Johnny Gallagher
 because of his neglect to compel Dempsey 10 follow instructions on several occasions during the light.
 The commission discussed the match. but at the close of its regu- lar weekly meeting late in the after neon issued no formal statement of it's proceedings. II was understood however. that the boxing rommis- sion felt that though there may have been some ground for finding fault with Gallasher's work. his judgment in the ring, nevertheless was hnal and could not be question: cd after the bout
 Get Many Complaints. The commission received num- Der of communications concerning the title fight. particularly from Firpo partisans.. who charged that Dempsey should have been disquaii- fled several times before he knock cd out the Wild Bull Of the Pam pas."
 The specific accusations in one of these communications were that Dempsey did not adhere to regula- tons. agreed upon before the fight in failing to go to a neutral corner after each knock down; that he hit Firpo once before the Argentines knee had left the floor and that he struck fhe South American several times after the bell had rung for the end of the first round.
 Official attendance and gate re. ceints announced revealed that inc total paid attendance of 9a,22s estab- lished a new record for fistic attrac- tions anywhere. eclipsing both the Dempsey Carpenter fight two years ago and the Firpo- Willard bout elast July. The total attendance at both of these contests was between 100000 and 100000, according to Promoter Tex Richards figures, but the net paid attendance at each vas only about 76,o0o.
 Gate Was s1.fss.s22.
 The total Dempsey -Firpo attend- ance was S7,oo0. while the. gross re- ceipts amounted to s1,18S,S22.s0, placing the match second in this re- spect to the Dempsey Carpenter, which attracted a gate of s1,6oo, ,0o0.
 Deduction of federal tax of $780, o74.s0 and tax of $57,197 left net receipts of $951,551.
 Dempsey left yesterday afternoon for Chicago, where he will spend sev- eral days before leaving for Salt Lake City to visit his parents. He then plans to go on to his home in Los Angeles.
 Firpo has postponed his trip to Canada until next week The Ar- genuine has definitely decided to hang up his gloves, until next year, taking complete rest from the strenuous campaign that led up toN. his title fight before ginng into train- ing again. His proposed match in the spring with Harry Wills is still hang Ing fire though Promoter Rickard has hopes of closing it before the Argentine leaves New York.
 Firpo will return to the Argentine , after his Canadian trip.

 Seven years ago George uhle was pitching sandlot baseball in Cleveland.
 Today George uhle is the pitching ace Of the Cleveland Indians. He leads the American league twirlers in games won.
 The rise of George uhle to sudden fame in baseball outdoes the diamond fiction of Frank Merriwel. This hero of many a baseball yarn became fa- nous because of 2 so-called double twist. He did everything but make the ball talk.
 While George Uhle lays claim to no double twist In his pitching repertory, American League batters will tell you that he has something on every ball he pitches. His stock in trade consists of a puzzllng fast ball, sharp breaking curve. 8 teas ing slow ball and deceptive change of pace.
