FIND SKELETON OF CROCODILE
 LIVED 2,ooo, 900 YEARS AGO

LONDON, July 5-The complete skeleton of a crodile which is es- timated to have lived more than two million years ago, has been unearth- ed from the Oxford clay of Peters borough brick yards by P J. Phillips a noted English geologist.
 The skeleton is 16 feet long and is identical with the skeleton of the present day crocodile. The monster was, however, sea going creature belonging to the middle geological period.
 In a spot where the stomach would be found a fossilized mass containing traces of organic marine matter, the remains of the reptiles last and evidently too hearty meal.

POSTAL CLERKS MAY ASK
 FOR AN INCREASE IN WAGES

FL PASO, July 3-Dust stirred by Don Juan Onate on his way to settle Senta Fe more than three centuries ago will be on the heels of delegates here to attend the Ma tional Federation of Postoffice Clerks convention September 3 to ' Every state in the union will be represented. ...
 Congress may be asked to in- crease the pay of postoffice clerks if the high cost of living does not go down in the meantime, according to officials of the federation who are here making arrangements for the convention. Other legislation which will come up for endorsement includes:
 Credit for one hour for each 45 minutes worked at night.
 Double time for Sundays and hol- idays.
 An annual vacation of 30 days.
 Although the federation now has seven vice-presidents, it is claimed the rapid growth of the organiza- ton demands the addition of from four to eight more, and this ques- ton will be voted on. Under the present rules the large cities, such as New York and Chicago, are en- titled 10 a maximum of five dele gates and as many votes, while a postoffice with half a dozen men may have one delegate and one vote. The larger cities are asking for a different basis of repres enta- tion.

Losing Proposition

In casting up receipts and ex- penditures, the Montana COW town finds that it must write down a deficit of approximately s1o0,000, the chief items of expense being s21O,o0o to Dempsey, s2o,o0o for promotion and sS5,OO for the ar ena, of which amount probably $2500o will be recovered in salvage of the amphitheater
 The receipts were considerably lessened by the action of ticket bootleggers, who sold ringside seats for S10 and up, notwithstanding the fact that the reg liar price had been fixed at $50. This cut heavily into the regular ticket sales upon which Kearns had agreed to depend for his third installment of s100,- GOO.

He dealt particularly with thorough American people. He also discussed a variety of other topics, including immigration and transportation, which he contended, should be ap- preached and solved only from the national standpoint.

The Preliminaries

In the first preliminary, Jack Mcdonald, of Seattle knocked out Ernie Sayles, of Rochester, in the second round of their scheduled eight round bout.
 At two o'clock Mike Collins an- nounced that the remaining prelim- inaries would not be fought unless the sum of s8O0O would be guar anteed. He stated that the promo +ers could not be found. All the while the crowd was growing impa- tient and yelled for action. The trouble was finally settled when Manager Kearns announced that he would pay Bud German and Harry Drake if they would go on and the second preliminary followed. German, who was one of Gibbons sparrlng partners, easily defeated Drake, who was attached to the Dempsey training camp. The fight went eight rounds, German winning all of them, but he was not able to land knockout.
 The semi-final, considered the star preliminary, between Jimmy Delan- ey and Jack Burke, was called of shortly before three o'clock because there was no money to pay the box CTS.
 The money to pay Dougherty to referee the main event was not ob- tained until the big fellows were al most ready to go into the ring. A local bank put up the cash and sav- ed the day.

Visits Cemeteries

CENTRALIA July 5-Directing that the train be stopped, President Harding drove through the drizzling rain early today to visit two local cemeteries, where he laid wreaths on the graves of the four American legion men who were killed by WobbIes on Armistice Day 1919. The President was accompanied by military and naval aides. and by Representative Albert Johnson, while the other member of the party breakfasted aboard the tram or still slumbered. In placing the wreaths the President said: "The world was mortified by what occur red here about three years ago. Those guilty were striking at the very bulwark of the republc-at the men who saved it and also men who must be counted upon to pre- serve R.

OLD TYPE OF FRENCH
 PEASANT NOW PASSING AWAY

PARIS, July 5-Movies in farm ing centers to teach the French pea sants new methods in cultivation have made the people of the cities realize with something of a shock that the peasant is changing his ways.
 The policy of keeping land hold ings small has made the French nation of proprietors, so far as such a condition can exist. The French inheritance laws tend to- ward the equal treatment of children in wills, so that in most cases the farm is actually divided into small tracts rather than old and the pro- ceeds distributed.
 This love of the land, and a se- cretiveness born of living to himself is said by sociologists to be chang ing. The farmer of today looks upon his land as the instrument of for tune building. He will sell it at profit for he can buy more
 Fifty years ago the French farm CT kept as a secret the return from his crops and the kind and quantity of fertilizer he used. If he needed money he regarded borrowing with such dismay that he went to a money lender in another district, often at night, and paid usurious interest to escape publicity. :....
 The modern farmer, although still perhaps in the minority, joins coop erative buying and selling organiza- tiors, discusses the best methods of cultivation with his neighobrs, and is proud to tell what good bargains he has made.
 This, however, is the rosy view of country progress. There still re- mains the old type of suspicious peasant guarding jealously his bit of land and the secrets of his sav- ings, hidden in the house or buried under the floor. This method of hoarding, known as the wooden sock is believed by financiers to explain the rapid disappearance in France of gold and silver. and even of great mass of banknotes. The French have learned to subscribe to bond issues, as matter of patriotism, but the police records of big hauls by thieves in apparently poor homes show that many Frenchmen still have no use for banks.

PRESIDENT NOW ENROUTE
 TO NORTHERN TERRITORY

TACOMA, July 5-The Presiden- tial party, which spent yesterday at Portland, where they participated in a typical Fourth of July celebra- tion, consisting of g parade, speech es and fireworks, arrived here short ly before ten o'clock this morning, marking the end of the long trail over which they have been travel ing during the last fifteen days, covering fourteen states stretching from teh Atlantic to the Pacific
 The city welcomed the party in a drizzling rain which, however, did not seem to dampen the enthu- siasm of the reception. The crowds lined the sidewalks four deep and cheered President Harding lustily as he drove to his hotel, apparently unnindful of the rain, the first encourtered since leaving Washing ton.
 The President and Mrs. Harding will spend the day quietly and early this afternoon will board the Pres idential steamship Henderson, on which they and the other members of their party will make the trip to Alaska and return.

PRESIDENT HARDING IS STARTING NORTH TODAY
TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL
 HORSEPOWER OF A HORSE

DESMOTNEs, July 5-owners and users of grade and pure bred horses will have an opportunity at this years Iowa State Fair to de- termine how much a team can pull through a series of scientific tests to be conducted under controlled conditions. The Horse Association of America, with headquarter sat Chica- go, will cooperate in the tests.
 4 specially constructed wagon has been designed for the tests by the engineering department of Iowa State college. By mems of gears and a hydraulic pump, driven from the wheels, it will be possible to put on any predetermined load and main tain uniform load resistance from the test wagon whether 1t travels on level or up or downhin. The teams
  probably will be required to pull a six horsepower load 70 enter. the load to be increased by two horse power on each successive trial until the maximum is reached.
 Whipping or shouting will dis qualify an entry all horses will be given veterinary examination, and representatives of humane agencies will be present to forestall any charge by abuse.
 Horsepower has been a standard of power measurement for centuries but little research ork on the pulling powers of horses and mules has been carried on scientifically, because of the difficulty in providing uniform tractive resistance" said the an agement.

Betting Light

There was very little betting on the fight, due to the scarcity of Gibbons money. The different fight pools unanimously favored Dempsey. In the principal pool the spectators picked Dempsey to win by a knock out in the fourth, fifth or sixth rounds. One sporting man announe- ed shortly before the fight that one $500 Gibbons money had made its appearance up to that time, out side of the pools, and that was plac- ed at three to one on Dempsey.
 Although there was little specu- lative interest taken in the fight, residents of Shelby ardently hoped that Gibbons would win.

SHELBY, July 5-Jaek Demp- sey long holder of the heavyweight championship of the world, retain ed his title yesterday in fifteen round ring battle with Mike Gibbons the decision being given to Demp- sey at te end of the fifteenth round that number of rounds having been agreed upon as the limit for the match. Gibbons was still on his feet and holding on desperately when the gong ended one of the most surprising upsets seen in heavyweight circles in recens year.
 The result was a distinct surprise as Dempsey was overwhelming the favorite when the men entered the ring, and it was generally expected tha. he would win by a knockout in sthe sixth or seventh round. Gib- bons astonished even his most ar dent admirers by carrying the fight to Dempsey in some of the rounds and he even outboxed the champion at times. Dempsey, however, out slugged his opponent, landing hard CT punches and everlastingly trying for a knockout which he did not de- liver.
 In the final moments Gibbons was fading rapidly from the cruel pun ishment, chiefly around the body. It was apparent that he could not have lated many more rounds.
 Newspaper experts give Gibbons a shade the better of the fifth, eleventh and thirteenth rounds, while Dempsey won all the rest. When the fight ended, Referee Dougherty did not hesitate a mo- ment to raise Dempsey's hand as the signal that he had been declar- ed winner of the bout.
 When the gong sounded the crowd surged into the ring, in spite of the presence of scores of police men, and pounded Gibbons on the back by way of congratulating him upon the splendid showing made, and he replied with a broad smile at the friendly demonstration.
