FIGHT HANGERS ouIseLE

Chicago Failure to agree on a few
minor details after the question of a
referee had been virtually settled pre-
vented the signing of articles, closing
a 15-round heavyweight championship
match between Jack Dempsey, the title
holder, and Tom Gibbons, the st. Paul
challenger, at Shelby, July A..
Jack Kearns, manager of the heavy
weight champion, and Mike Collins,
matchmaker <or the promoters, said
the articles would be signed later, how
ever. The reason for the delay was be-
cause Kearns wanted the certified
check for $4,000 turned into cash at
once.
Jimmy Daugherty, veteran referee of
Philadelphia. probably will be selected
third mar in the ring. Daugherty was
Kearns' only choice. Eddie Kane. nan
ager of Gibbons, objected. claiming
Daugherty was too friendly to both
Kearns and Dempsey, hui after several
hours of discussion, Kane virtually
agreed to Daugherty.
In addition to the referee issue, the
question of signing the boxers also
came in for discussion. as neither Col
Inns nor 10y Molumby, a Great Falls
Mont, lawyer, representing the pro-
motors, desired to turn over the S110,-
600 to Kearns without assurance that
Dempsey would go through with his
part of the agreement.
Ironing out tSe minor details of the
match proved to be n problem. because
neither Kearns nor Kane, for reasons
best known to themselves, are on
speaking terms. The conference was
conducted through the medium of Col
Inns.

vertebra was fractured and showed out

unable to determine whether or not
the spinal cord has been injured. If

P0SIES AND SHRUBS
FOR HOME GROUNDS
Rich Blossoms and CoIorfuI
Foliage Add to the Appear
ance of Yard.

"Man shall not live by bread alone"
even with the addition Of a few
vegetables. In planning a home gar
den some space should be devoted to
shrubbery and a few flowers to de-
light the eye and add to the beauty
of the home surroundings, the United
States Department of Agriculture ad-
vises. Although many flowers are
suitable for planting close to the
house, 1t may be more desirable to
place permanent %shrubbery against
the foundations Of the house and give
the annual Towering plants a place
in the garden proper or as a border.
A bed of flowers may well be used to
separate the lawn from a neighboring
property or from the vegetable garden.
Old-fashioned zinnlas, petunias,
bachelors buttons, cockscomb, scarlet
sage. cosmos, are among the most
easily cultivated flowers which serve
to brighten up the exterior Of the
home. Where space Is available, n
may choose plants that will furnish
cut flowers for the house as well as
beautify the surroundings. Dahlias,
asters, peonies, roses and gladiOli are
among the many excellent Towering
plants for this purpose.
Dahllas are p~ropagated In two
ways, by the tubers. which look some
thing like small sweet potatoes. and
by cuttings. By the tuber method Of
propagation a single root or tuber is
placed in each hill and allowed to

completed by Secretary Of the Interior

These allotments will practically

Indian has received his regular 100
acres allowance, the remainder of the
reservation should be divided pro rata.

practiced by florists. by this method
the tubers are planted during Janu-

young shoots form about three leaves
they are cut OFF, the leaves trimmed
slightly. and the cutting rooted In a

The Coolidge presidential boom seems to
have struck snag of rather large proper
tons in the refusal Of Senators Pepper and
Reed, of Pennsylvania, to be counted
among its avowed supporters Their state
ment does not definitely put them among
the opposition. but it indicates "watchful
waiting policy" that makes it impossible
for the Coolidge people to reckon with any
certainty upon the votes Of Pennsylvania in
the Republican National Convention. II
Governor Pinchot is candidate and there
is little doubt that he will be at least
among those modest men willing to be
struck by presidential lightnine-Pennsyl-

n O.. p. National Committee Falsely
Attacks Fair Tariff League

The brief summary Of the pampnlet'
what the Tariff Does to Kansas issued
nv the Fair Tariff League. OF when II. T.
Miles ia chairman. sent out in the Weekly
News Service of the Democratic Natiohai
Committee. drew a statement from the
Republican National Committee that is I'M
paralleled for Misrepresentation and down.
r;ob, falsebood. The statement appeared
in the New York Herald Of September 9th.
sent from its Washington Bureau. Before
ouotine the Republican National Commit
tee. the Washington correspondent OF the
Herald said:
To-day the Democratic National Com
mittee said an investigation had revealed
that the tariff act had cost the people oil
Kansas S66, 4l8.876 and benefited them
TO the extent Of only $256,69S. OF the
total loss. the farmers. it was stated. had
to stand $3l,640.846.75.'
The correspondent adds. farm orsaniza-
tons have Joined in this campaign.
The correspondent then quotes the Re
Uublican National Committee as follows;
Free trade lobbyists maintaining ex-
nensiye Offices at Washington, and con-
Quoting a very extensive publicity cam
naien. are out in a new attack on the
Fordney Tariff in an effort to mislead the
farmers. The attack is fathered by the
lobbyists of a well-known farm organi-
cation. These officials. who are Demo-
Gratis. are using that organizations name
and prestige in continuous campaign,
The simple facts are that the pamphlet.
what the Tariff Does to Kansas. was
compiled by the experts Of the Fair Tarif
LEAGUE, of which H. E. Miles is chairman
with Offices in New York, not in Washing
ton. The Fair Tariff League believes in
protectiye tariff and frankly says so. but
IL defines honest protection as 1.-THE differ
ence in the cost Of production here and
abroad" 1t is not partisan organization
hut its General committee and member
ship are largely Republicans. II includes

has the assistance Of over forty capable
experts 1t has no connection with any
political committee.
This is the organization which the Re-
publican National Committee publicly
brands as free trade lobbyists maintain
ins expensive offices in Washington, de-
clarine that its officials are Democrats.
In furnishing reliable statistics OF what
the tariff does to the various States in the
Union. Mr.. H. E. Miles is providing the
public with the finest possible educational
lessons Of the highest value with respect
to the Fordney- McCumber Profiteers Tariff
which is costing the people of the United
States $4,000, 100000 year. $780,
100000 Of which goes into the pockets Of
the specially protected special interests
II is this infamous tariff which is chiefly
responsible for the disastrous conditions OF
agriculture, which maintains and at times
increases the high cost of living and which
is detrimental to honest and legitimate
business everywhere.
