 Meanwhile, neither Jess Willard, who has been seeking to sign with Dempsey, nor Kearns seemed dis couraged by obstacles set In the path of heavyweight title matches this year.

 Kearns reiterated his desire for bouts with both Wills and Willard, and hinted that an effort might be made to stage one or both at Tia Juana, Just across the California bor- der. If not successful in signing for a fight he said, Dempsey might turn to motion pictures for occupation.

GEORGE SMITH LEAVES
FOR YAKIMA, WASH.

George T. Smith, farmer at the
Indian sub-agency here for a couple
of years past, left for Yakima,
Wash, on Monday last, where he
formerly resided.
In the departure of Mr.. Smith Wolf
Point and this district lost good
citizen and the Indians a faithful
worker for their welfare. He was
never too busy to talk on better
methods of farming and farming sub
jects in general. This was his
hobby. Usually when one met him,
after few minutes he pulled out
some potatoes or seed corn from his
pocket, and always some Indian far
mer had raised these samples or was
about too plant them. During his
stay here he introduced more stand
ard varieties of potatoes of certified
seed and induced many Indians to
plant Dent corn instead of the old
flint variety. Many fields of alfalfa
on the river bottoms and fiourishing
gardens are due to his advice and
teachings, and from first to last he
believed and got the Indians to prac-
tice diversified farming.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith made many
firm friends while here, both among
whites and Indians, who wish them
success in their new surroundings.

REGISTERED MARQUIS
YIELDS 28 Per ACRE

AS the registered seed growers are
threshing out their fields, some very
favorable results are being attained
on their plots, in both yield and quail
ity
Earl Coin, who had field of 40
acres of registered Canadian Mar
quis wheat, had a yield of 28 bushels
per acre. This field was planted on
plowed summerfallow and kept free
from weeds by the use of a home
made rod weeder. This yield is ex-
ceptionany high for this year for this
particular section, it being twenty
bushels above the county average.
1t is expected that some of the
other registered growers will have
yields nearly as good, which will
give all wheat farmers in this county
who desire to start a high grade seed
an opportunity to secure some for
their own planting.
1t is estimated at the present time
that there will be between 10000
and $4,000 bushels of registered and
arproved Canadian Marquis wheat
available for distribution in this
county next year.

MELON PREPARATIONS
MAY NOW BE PAID

The local League of Nations, the
World Court and special commits
sion on awards have been wrestling
with the puzzling Melon case for
several weeks but have now worked
the affair out to point where all
that remains is to collect the repair
.tations.
With Archie Maertins and his fine
melon patch in the role of devastated
Belgium, Judge Gordon as the court
and Messrs J. B. Randall, ]. H.
Coffey and Andy Wigtil as the COM
missioners, the horde of youthful
enemy vandals were run through the
mills of justice and, it is hoped,
brought to see the error of their
ways
The court chose four of the melon
destroyers and charged them with
the duty of collecting the amount of
damages fixed by the committee. If
the required number of marks are
not forthcoming within a reasonable
time there will be another install
ment of this sad tale.

40 CARS CORN FED
HOGS FROM THIS co.

1t is estimated that not less than
40 carloads of corn fed hogs will be
shipped to market from Roosevelt
county shipping points this year. This
is an increase of more than 80 car
loads over any previous year. This
enormous increase is due largely to
the increased interest, and increas-
ing acreage and yield of corn in this
county during the past few years.
A few of the pioneer hog men, to-
gether with the Boys club, have fur
nished and distributed high class
standard of breeding stock, and as
a result, it is expected that these
corn fed hogs will also stand out in
quality.
This large increase in both corn
and hogs has been growing enor-
mously the past few years, and it IS
believed that with the development
Of this project it will not be long
time before such products will COM
pare favorably with wheat in market
value.
