Stdte-OWned Meat
Shops Save Money

Brisbane, Queensland--T Queens
land Labor government now main
tains sc state-owned butchering shops
III in the city of Brisbane and 40
in other parts of the state. During
the past year 2,633,OO0 customers
were served, and the total sales for
the year amounted to $1,726,387.
Since the state-owned meat shops
were first opened, in November, 1915,
50,063 tons of beef and 4811 tons of
mutton have been sold. The total
cash sales were $12,930,125, and the
number of customers served was 49,
7O2,756.
Though the shops sell at prices con-
siderably lower than those charged
by privately-owned shops, and no
profits above working expenses are
looked for, nevertheless a net profit
of $703, ,430 had been made.
A conservative estimate of the
saving to the people in cheaper prices
of meat as a result of the establish
ment OF the state-owned shops is set
down at $15,000,000.
The state-owned shops are the most
popular in Queensland and that they
hold the dominant position in the re-
tail trade is due to the fact that they
are supplying meat of the best quail
ity to the people at prices lower
than in any other state in Australia,
if not in the world, and this in open
competition with the private retail
ers.
The Queensland experiment in
butcher shops is crushing answer to
those critics who ever assert that a
Labor-Socialist government cannot
run "a peanut barrow"

Coal Coming From Great Britain

New York-A number of tramp
steamers have been booked to trans
port British-mined coal to this and
other eastern ports, at carrying
price of about $1.87 ton. This rate
is considerably less than the ocean
freight charges which at this time
would be acceptable to regular liners
and freighters, but it is evidently
planned to charter enough tramps at
this lower rate to convey a consider
able quantity of coal from Britain be-
fore April.

MORRIS
FIGHT TO DRAW

Kid Williams, Of III Centre. and
Rex Morris, Of san Francisco, went
Is rounds 70 a draw in the bull
ring at Mexicali, according TO the
decision of the Referee, Sam Mata.
but in the opinion of majority of
tbe fans, including many who could
Yot be accused of favoring Will
1iams. the latter should have had
fthe decision.
Williams landed by far the great
er number of blows during the fight,
Morris being unusually wild, and
the local boy has improved wonder
fully.
The fight was uninteresting TO
watch, the big fellows clinching
continuously, and it seemed as if
they were wrestling instead of box
ing.
1t was 6 o clock when Williams
and Morris entered the ring and
darkness had set in before the fight
ended.
Announcement was made that
Mex and Mandot held the promot-
ers up for more money at the last
moment, and refused to go on un-
less they got it. They dldn t get
it. The fans went without the
preliminary. The promoters were
fined 500, according to i report,
by the commissioner of amusement,
for not putting on a preliminary
after it had been billed.

DEATH WATCH ON
FINAL PAY men I
In DEMPSEY BOUT
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

GREAT FALLS, Mont, July >.
Before the grey stone building
which houses the Station Savings
and Trust Bank, the death watch
on the Dempsey Gibbons fight start
ed early this morning. Some time
before midnight the vault of the
banks is expected to congh out the
100000 final payment of the Dem
psey 100000 purse and assure the
heavyweight champion battle for
Wednesday in Shelby.
Outside the two doors of the bank
were gathered newspaper men, oil
prospectors, a COW puncher and lit
tie groups of Elks, here for their
state convention.
Jack Kearns, manager of the
champion appeared and talked with
scribes. He said he had not been
told when or where the money was
to be paid. The contract requires
only that it be handed over before
midnight.
81 have said many times already
that if the money is not turned
over Dempsey will not fight, '
Kearns said. ~ will not be bluffed
by any kind of threats.
Stanton Says He Has Money
George Stanton, president of the
bank, who has been i'll charge of
the latest financial tussle, said the
money would be paid but would say
no more.
Dempsey finished his training
Sunday. II was one of his best
workouts. He did net do much but
the form he showed and the ease
with which he went through his
stunts with two sparring partners
was enough TO convince the critics
that he is in shape.
The champion has improved won
derfully in the last few days.
Where two weeks ago he was list
less, he is now full of energy and
is showing much of the fire and
dash that marked his training in
Toledo and Atlantic City. He may
not be boxing as well as he should,
although he has never been a flashy
scientist, but he seems TO be hitting
as laru as ever.
Old Time
SHELBY. Mont, July Odd
time, man-to man rules, permitting
all that fists can do above the belt,
probably will govern the Dempsey
fight here Wednesday, although the
Marquis of Queensburv statutes, as
interpreted by the local American
Legion, will be the official regula
tions.
All Shelby and most of the pros
pective spectators, know little about
the finer points of the boxing game
and no referee would dare to stop
the bout for any such minor infrac
tions of the rules as hitting while
holding or the backhand punch.
Gibbons at Disadvantage
The kidney punch and the rabbit
rap to the base of the skull also
will be permitted. Gibbons will be
at disadvantage in most of these
emergencies because he is not near
ly so strong as the champion.
The fighters hands will be band
aged and the gloves put oil in the
ring. Only gauze wrappings will
be used, without the knots, and there
will be enough adhesive tape to
secure the gauze. Spare gloves have
been furnished.

Old Slav Sanctuary
Found in German Ruins

F'eldberg, Mecklenburg, Nov. 90
CA. p. by MaiD-RQins of an ancient
Slav sanctuary have been unear thed
near this town by DR.. Kari Scnuch-
hard, director of the Berlin Museum
of AnthropolOgy, which he believes to
have been Rethra, the chief temple of
the Slavs between the Rivers Elbe
and Oder. SuaraSici was the name of
the god who was worshipped here,
and the temple was relatively more
important than the Delphi of the
Greeks.
Rethra stood for several centuries
and was destroyed in 1868 and 1869
under the reign of Henry ". The
Bishop of Halberstadt under orders
from the emperor. destroyed the
sanctuary Burchhard was the
name of this bishop, and it is still
preserved in the folklore of Northern
Germany. He is supposed to nave
become immensely rich through
laundering the temple. and there is a
nursery rhyme which makes an APP
peal to this ancient Nshop to make
gifts to children.
DR.. Schuchhard says descriptions
of the temple written by the Bishop
of Merseburg, who lived about the
year 1000, tally with his discoveries
and he is confident he has located the
lost shrine for which archaeologists
have been seeking for genera tons.
In the Spreewald.. near Berlin. the
population still retains the customs,
dress and language of the ancient
Slavs who lived in Northern Ger
many before the TeutonS made their
appearance, especially all along the
Elbe.
