Talmadge B. Carey, president OF

chase of the corner site at Lyndale
and Hyland Ave. No., by the Pyra-
mid company last week.
The Pyramid company was incor-
porated about year and half ago
The continuous harmony in which
these men have worked is largely re-
sponsible for the success thus far.
The North side deal is practically
the largest project as yet accomplish

are James T. Hughes, Vice Pres. S.
Quay Herndon, Sec, Treas, Charles
E. Noble, j. Howard Curry, Fred d.

ANTLKLAN BILL
SIGNED BY
GOVERNOR PREUS

The Anti-Kian Bill. as pro-
posed by Miss Myrtle Cain and
signed by Gov. J. A. o. Preus
will be of material advantage
in making the state of Minneso-
ia safe for democracy. It is
well worth our serious consid-
Grafton and hearty approval.
Perhaps no issue has ever
been placed before the legisla-
ture of this State that received
less opposition than the Anti
Klan Bill. The fact that the
bill was passed unanimously in
the house and with one dis
senting vote in the Senate is
almost synomous to winning a
fight without a shot in opposi-
tion perhaps the real signifi-
canoe of this splendid ruling is
yet to be realized but the ac-
tivities of the Klu Klux Klan
have been lessened by its pas
sage.

 Aided by an unusual array of all- round talent, the Blue captured two major team championships. in bas- ketball and swimming. finished sec- ond in water polo and third in wrest- ling. Harvard led the way in hock- ey and captured one fencing title; West Point landed two fencing titles and Navy retained it's supremacy in gymnastics.

Bright Near Knockout in Ninth Round TT Battling Brooks kakoed by Chick Brown U Dempsey Gets Verdict.

Louis Kid" Kaplan, about the only object as a result of which Meriden can claim any possible recognition. earned a decision in F rounds last night over Harvey Bright, the Brook lyn dentist. The decision by the ref cree, Young McAuliffe, of Bridgeport. was well received.
 In passing, it must be admitted that the Kid was entitled to the decision, but at the same time Brother Bright was in the fight at all times as the Eeriden idol knew that he had been in a mill and was compelled to extend himself at all times. Giving Bright his due, he showed up as a rather clever boxer with plenty of skill and speed and a damaging left and an absence of any desire to back away when the blows began raining his way. He was game throughout, and If he had been possessed of k. 0. wallop the outcome might have been different. On the other hand, kaplan threw enough haymakers in his gem eral direction to propel the Kids au- tomoble from here to New York and lack. and had they landed--well the referee would have been saved some trouble. As it was. as usual, most Of them went wild, Bright either step ping inside them or lodging back. In the third and sixth rounds Bright was at his best, and it was not until the tenth round that kaplan began to make the decision foregone conclu- sion. As the ninth round closed both boys stood head to head, swapping punches with kaplan to the good. for Bright went to his corner with a sick ly grin on his face as his knees visibly
