Dempsey, as is welt known, IS
not a hero il the public eve. for
icssens tlat are bard to explain.
Itt might be going too far to say
that Dempsey IS the most unpopuiar
champion on the long list, because
Jaek Johnson held even lower
place in the estimation Of the pub
llG
johnson brought disfavor upon
himself by his conduct after he had
won the championship from Jim
JeHries, but Dempsey has done nc
thing since he won the title from
Jess Willard to bring discredit'
uIlon himself, or or the game that
las been SO good to him.
Dempsey war record got him
in. bad with the public and while
most everyone has forgotten there
was such a thing as 4 big war,
the impression stil fingers that
Dempsey didn t do something when
lie had the chance.
Friends OF She champion and
those who are broad-mindei enough
to so back to the days leading up
to. the war, know that Dempsey was
largely the victim of circumstances
and poor advice.
MeAuliae believes that a fight

Dempsey the public esteem that he

TANNING WITH FARRELL

representative against & foreigner,

Aul.G'e believes.
Carpenter was the first foreign
fighter to he cheered over an Am

public.
John J.. Sullivan gained his
greatest popularity when he fought
Mitchell, the sentiment being our =
champion against a foreigner. When
Dempsey meets E.rpo, unless the
animoSity toward Dempsey is too
deep rooted to be pulled out, the
American public viii rally the same
way behind the champion.
Indications of this were shown
in the Tirpo-Willa-t fight when
the crowd arose spontaneously an.
yelled for Willard to win when he
rallied and seemed 10 have a
chance. The Sc. .iment tAere WAS
clearly fer an American against
a foreigner, because Willard during
his regime rs champion, was hard
II more popular than Dempsey.
Through NIL lis trials and
troubles, Dempsey has been such Il

Mr.. King is clearing another
acre of his land with the help of
Sam Bittinger. AS your cores
pondent stood looking at Mr.. King
and his helpers doing so much
hard, dirty work, she thought the
government could afford to give
settlers this land for clearin it
and getting it in shape to raise
something. They had just blast
ed a big stump into four pieces
ana hitched on the cable, big and
ponderous, as the pulley alone
weighs 70 pounds. Slowly and
surely the sweep went round and
the stump began to move, One
thought how it hated to leave
Mother Earth where it had stood
so deeply rooted for hundreds of
years. 1t creaked and groaned and
finally came-its big roots so long
exposed to the darkness-were
pulled several feet farther on to a
pile to be burned. 1t looked ma
jestic as it plowed up the earth
and settled down to be burned
with the other four sections. |
used to wonder why they left such
high stumps but was told that
when lmbermen came here years
ago they only cut the best trees
and left the stumps high as the
lumber near the base was not so
good as the rest of the tree as it
is full of pitch. | think these high
stumps are not a detriment as they
are handler to hitch onto. 1t is in
teresting for the onlooker to see
the land cleared but hard and ex-
pensive for the rancher. So ends
the story of stamp with the adj
ditional information that it took
10 sticks of dynamite for one of
the biggest stumps.
