GENE TUNNEY RECEIVES
$45,OOO FOR DOZEN BOUTS

While he has canned Doc Bagley
as his manager and signed with
Billy Gibson, nevertheless Gene
Tunney has not done so-poorly
from financial angle. In his
last twelve bouts he drew down the
sum of $45,500. This Is surely big
sum for Tunney. Genes largest
sums for fighting were as follows:
With Harry Greb, $22,S00; Battling
Levinsky. $4,000: Tommy Loughran,
$4,000; Charley Weinert, $4,000;
Weinert again, $4,000; Jack Burke,

Ty Cobb took his Tigers into

while the Columbus team was

banquetted the famous Georgian

story. We had a splendid baseball
team while in college. and after q
great season we had a banquet.
Naturally the first man upon whom
the dean called-the dean acting
rs toastmaster-was the coach.
while the coach spoke q kid in
the gallery kept shouting:
:. "Ty Cobb, we want Ty Cobb"
s. "The coach finished his speech
despite this interruption. Then

but the kid kept shouting that

when the captain finished the dean
called on me.

the kid again yelled:

RYE CAN BE GROWN
IN ALL PARTS OF COUNTRY

Winter rye is the hardest of all ce-
reals. 1t can be grown in all parts
Of the country, says the United
States Department of Agriculture
but is most profitable in the Northern
and Eastern states. It's production
in the United States has increased
rapidly during the past few years,
due chiefly to a heavy foreign de-
mand, high-priced labor, low yields
Of wheat, and the development of
improved varieties of rye. 1t is
grown largely as a cash grain crop
in the western half of the country,
but is also used as pasture, as a
green-manure or nurse crop to smOth-
er weeds.
The ordinary time for sowing win
ter rye in the northern part of
North Dakota and Minnesota is about
September 1, with later dates in sec
tiOns south of this. Many farmers
will find it profitable to SOW winter
rye yet this fall, using grain stub
Bile, corn ground, fall-plowed land, or
summer fallow, if climatic condi-
tons permit, the department be-
lieves. Sowing on grain stubble is
often the most profitable because Of
the cheaper cost of production. The
grain should be sown with a drill at
the rate of A to 6 pecks per acre.
In the important reproducing
western states the average acre varuu
of the rye crop is somewhat less
than that Of wheat While the yields
of rye usually are higher than those
of wheat, the price is much less, be-
ing largely determined by the foreign
markets which use most of our crop,
At low prices rye can not be grown
for grain at a profit except under
good management and in favored 10
calities, the Department of Agricul-
ture says. While rye makes good
hay, green manure, pasture, or I
nurse crop for legumes, it is MOI
suitable concentrated for live stool
unless mixed With other grains.

Those that wisely respect all relig-
ions, denying none, are interested es-
pecially in the changes that have
come over MormOnism, still full of
vitality after 100 years. Joseph
Smith made a particular virtue of
many wives for one man-so did wise
King Solomon, by the way.
Modern Mormonism, rallying under
the purple, blue and gold banner,
"Cumorah-Ramah,' says, zone wife
is enough. That does not mean re-
%pudiating Joseph Smith. Many good
Christians tone down Jonah and the
whale, knowing that the earth is
round, do not insist that the foul
angels actually stood at the -four
corners of the earth. All life is
compromise.

Henry Ford is studying a better
kind of boat to carry freight and
passengers. If he produces it, he
will add billions to the nations
wealth. The height of mechanical
folly is carrying, on pounding rails
and wheels, freight that ought tt
glide, without friction or wear, along
thousands Of miles of canals anC
rivers.

To enjoy a good headache, reau
Sir Ernest Rutherford, great Brit
ish scientist, on the atom. A thou
sand atoms in the corner of your
eye wouldn't bother you. You would,
MT know they were there.
The atom, a complex unit of pure
electricity of which all substances,
elements, wealth, rocks, buildings,
money and men are made, is a min
iature solar system. 1t has a central
electron which is like the sun.
Around it revolve dozens of small
er elctrons like planets. The cleo.
irons farthest away from the centre
in this miniature solar system, trave
slowly in their crbits-only five
hundred miles a second. Those near
est the centre travel at the incon
ceivable speed of ninety-three thous
and miles a second.
What horrible forces are locked VI
in those minute particles of matter
In such an "infra-world."
