Walkers Should Move
In Traffic Direction

At a crossing where traffic officers
are stationed pedestrians should move
in the same direction as traffic moves.
Traffic, in the business district. should
move directly east, west, south and
north, the business district to be desig-
mated. Trah1c going east should turn
south when south-bound traffic is
moving. Traffic going west should
turn north when north-bound traffic
is moving, providing they are first in
line Of traffic moving either east or
west. Traffic going south should turn
west when south-bound traffic is NOV
ing.
Autos, etc, should stop at least six
feet behind cars, so as to allow pc
destrians to get on and off cars with
out fear of being run down.
Neither traffic nor pedestrians
should move except when given the
signal to do so.
All traffic should stop promptly,
except If at a crossing when ambu-
lance or fiIe department is heard,
traffic to get as close as possible to
the curb.
For night driving DINNERS should
be used in the city limits. Outside
of city DINNERS should be used imnle-
.diately on sight of car approaching
from opposite direction Keep to the
right as far as possible

Stop and Go on
Silent Policemen

Have silent policemen about as tall
as a man, and have a STOP and GO
sign on it that works automatically.
II is a light that flashes STOP or GO
every minute. If we had silent police
men in the main part of the city We
could put more policemen in the out
skirts of the city to catch speeders
I think the speeders are mainly the
cause OF most accidents. The pedes-
TRANS should not be allowed to cross
the street in the middle of the block.
A driver has enough to do to watch
other machines and street cars in the
middle Of the block.
l think there should be law passed
by which all pedestrians should be
made to walk to the right. A tag
should be put on them If they dis
obey the law, and they should be
fined small sum.

Arm Signals Urged
To Guide Pedestrians

Teach the drivers to use their arm
signals more frequently. Not only
for the auto driver, but the pedes-
trian as well. For instance, driver
going to stop at a crossing should give
the driver behind a stop signal and
the, pedestrian a wave to go ahead. In
other words, let the other fellow know
what you are going to do at all
times I regard the arm signals the
greatest help for traffic. For twelve
years have driven trucks in the
-congested districts nearly every day.

moters would appear to be facing
a certain loss of thousands of dol
lars in putting on the fight. The
sale of tickets has been stopped
AMI started so many times that no
one appears to have a very definite
idea Of how many have been sold.
Consequently, in view Of the COM
plete financial chaos prevailing, the
conferences last night began to de-
velop a willingness on the part Of the
promoters to let the match go by de-
fault.
For the past week Kearns has been
the object of criticism for insisting
upon payment of the final 100000 be-
fore permitting Dempsey to go in the
ring. But when the final conferences
were reached Kearns appears to have
been the aggresSor in seeking a way
out of the financial tangle and putting
or the fight the promoters appeared
to be getting to the point where they
figured calling the fight off would be
the cheapest way out for them.

paid him, and to take his chance OF
getting the rest Of the 100000 purse
from the gate after the expenses Of
the show, including the purses for
the preliminaries. the salaries Of the
ushers and the special policemen, had
been paid.
Promoters FInallyN Agree
The promoters for hours refused to
listen to him, and after q lot of de-
alterations they finally agreed to &C
cept his terms.
After the agreement had been eff
fected Kearns said he was actuated
throughout by the desire to be "a good
fellow and "sportsmai.
He declared he felt he had done his
part inasmuch as he had not declared

was not forthcoming, and when 1t
was within his legal rights to declare

During the early morning confer
ences. George Stanton, Great Falls
banker, and all the committee Of fl
nanciers interested in the fight ad-
mitted they didn't have one single cent
with which to guarantee the final
payment of the Dempsey purse.
It was then Kearns made terms by
which a settlement was reached.
Kearns said today he was going to
Shelby to look the situation over and
have something to say about the sale
of tickets on the final day.
Champion Plays Hearts
During all the excitement the cham
pion was spending all his time at the
training camp playing hearts with his
sparring partners and a few friends
who had jumped away from the finan-
cial frenzy of the town to keep him
company.
Kearns said he had signed the con-
tract in good faith and had turned
down several good offers for the
champion on the national holiday, but
he had signed a contract with per-
sons he thought responsible, and was
willing and ready to go through
with it.
Kearns also declared he had been
unable to learn who was in charge of
the Shelby ticket Office and he was
leaving this morning to watch the
sale of the tickets.
The manager Of the champion said
also he had reached an agreement

challenger. and they had agreed there

July 4. between Jack Dempsey and
Tommy Gibbons.
Jack Kearns left for Shelby on an
early train. We intended to look over
our final arrangements there and see
how the last-minute ticket sales were
coming on.
These developments followed a
night of narrowing announcements,
counter-announceme rumors, un.
truths and almost continuous confer
ences. It had become known earlier in
the evening that the promoters had
only a fraction Of the amount neces-
sary to pay Dempsey his last 100000.
CANDLES $4,000.
Earlier in the evening the best
that Kearns would offer was pay
me $50 900 and I'll gamble for the
other $50, 600 on the gate receipts"
The promoters then sadly In
formed him they didn't have $780,
900, and furthermore didn't have
much prospect Of raising that
amount.
George Stanton had row with
Kearns in one of the earlier confer
ences and he took no active part in
the effort to find a way out OF the
maze Of figures and offers. Stanton,
a banker of Great Falls, previously
had been active as chief promoter.
There was the utmost confusion
about the whole affair. The nerves
of the promoters were on the ragged
edge and Kearns himself didn't feel
any too good about sending his cham
pion into the ring without being paid
the amount promised.
Wants to Be Good Sport
'I want to be good sport about
it," Kearns said, but l feel every one
ought to understand my side of it."
The scenes around the hotel as the
night wore into a weary dawn were
peaceful. The town pretended not to
be excited about the affair. Citizens
took more interest in the Elks' con-
vention.
But the lobby of the hotel was
crowded with newspaper men gathered
from all parts of the country.
The fighters hangers-on dashed
hither and thither, looking important
There must have been about 5000
cigars smoked in the course of the
evening and the butts and cigarette
stubs were piled high.
Conferee Besieged
A conferee would struggle out of
the conference room and immediately
be besieged by the reporters. Then,
with statements, the correspondents
dashed off their wires or the tele
graph office to apprise the world Of
the situation.
Then all of sudden the conference
room door would burst open and
angry. weary men would force their
way out, announcing they would seek
peace in sleep. But there was no sleep.
AS soon as Kearns got away from one
group or reached a deadlock. some one
else would buttonhole him and drag
him off to another conference.
AS matters now stand the pro-

Cultivation in Orchard
Is Profitable Practice

All comparative experiments In the
past between cultivation and sod cuI.
ture in an orchard have shown the
former to be by far the most prof.
table. However, when mulching or
additions to nitrogen fertilizer are
made TO these sod orchards, the re-
suits obtained are practically equal to
those in cultivated orchards. In other
words, nitrogen must he added from
some outside source to Offset the
amount used up or held by the, grass.
In a recent Ohio experiment a
mulehed block of apple orchard showed
returns equal to those of another
block where cultivation was practiced.
A third block in sod but without
mulchlng gave a very decreased yield
In comparison.
The use Of nitrogen fertilizer or
mulching is strongly advised in COM
mercial sod orchards and on some
soils where cultivation is difficult or
impractical. The decrease In labor re-
quired will very often more than pay
for the cost Of fertilizer or mulching
