the odds SO as to favor the title
holder.
So far as inside stuff goes there
have been howls from the Villa camp
over the widely spread yarns that
Villa will be weak at the 112-pourd
weight Yet anyone with a memory
viii admit that there is color for
them. Villa has fought twice this
year at the weight limit and neither
time did he show himself to be the
battling little yellow boy he had
previously been.
The fights in question were against
Ash and Marks. Compare those two
encounters with the Filipino's great
fight against Bud Taylor, a bout
when he entered the ring weighing
between ia and rs pounds He
fought throughout like an engine Of
destruction against a much tougher
opponent than either Ash or GeUrgic
Marks, and beat him convincingly.
One never can tell about fights. OF
course but il certainly would lOoh
as though Villa were in for rough
going, win or lose, next Thursday
night.
Renault's Pilot I< Foxy.
The announcement Of Leo Flynn, Jack
Renaults manager, that hereafter his
man would drop the light-heavy djvi-
sion and confine his attention to heavy
weights has excited a lot of discussion
along the great White Way Just what
the reason is. aside from Renaults in
creasing weight. is not known Leo
Flynn was bitten by a fox in early
youth, and never makes a decision with
out some real reason behind it On the
face of things il looks as though the
Canadian is passing up 4 lot Of good
men who are capable of giving him fur
ther opportunities of development, such
as Spalla, Tunney, Stribiing and other
able boxers.
Fer some reason Tommy Gibbons did
not seem too anxious to meet RenaU't
when Jack was after him. but no keen
judge OF form has any idea that fear
played any part in the matter. On any
basis one would prefer to figure Glib
bons stands as Renault's superior, and
if the two met. the Dominion fighter, in
the writer's opinion, would be let in
for a thorough basting

does Renault get in exchange? At the

will be but two-either Firpo or wills

He might make a better fight against
him next time, but you cannot get any
critic of the game to admit it And If
Firpo beats Wills who figures the Cana

Renaults chances against Dempsey,
they are not worth being considered
not at this time, anyway.
Getting back to the light-heavies
there never has been any real line be
tween them and the heavies. Gibbons
fights in and out of the division. as he

DROUGHT WORST
 EVER RECORDED IN MISSISSIPPI
Many Farmers Forced To
 Haul Water For All Purposes

JACKCON, Miss, Nov. S.-(Spe- cial. )-This section is. still suffering as it never did before because of the long continued dry weather, and is causing great hardships. Hundreds of farmers are hauling water eight or ten miles for all purposes. Others haul water by the barrel for drinking purposes and drive their livestock great distances to Pearl, Big Black or other of the larger streams that have not quit running. Jackson does not apprehend a water famine, but Pearl river, her water sup ply, is lower than at any time within the memory of tEe oldest citizens. Or dinarily it is bold stream, and during the winter and springs months is navi- gable for small boats 100 miles north of Jackson, but now the boys do not have to roll up their plants to wade it in most anywhere they wish to cross, and auto mobiles and "Tin Lizsies" would come nearer navigating along the bed of the river than would skiffs or canoes.
 The last good rain for this portion of Mississippi was June 21. Since tha. date there have been two or three little showers-haSdly sufficient to run off the houses, let alone into drain dltches on the side of the road.

REPIBLIC GETS PIG IRON ORDERS
 WORTH s1,250,O)0
Post. Election Boom Is
 Felt By Other Local Concerns

Sales of pig iron aggregating over $1 ,25O, 600 is said to have been made by the Republic Iron npd Steel com pany for the local plants during the last two days of the week. The tonnage was reported to be 10000 tons for one concern and 25,000 for another, the total being 65,000 with quotations at $19 ton. The sales will provide Thomas with operations rather steadily, coupled with the orders previously acknowledged. &
 The. statmen was made that the re- ported increase of prices quoted by Re public resulted from the manifest i'm movement in market conditions follow ing the election Tuesday. It is common ly believed that all local iron interests have. received gratifying orders since Tuesday. Information available was to the effect that theF Republic bookings were rather, heavy indicating, that the resumption of another furnace at Thomas was not far distant The ab- sence from the city. of Charles T. Fair bairne. district manager for the com pany, rendered it impossible to obtain verification of the reports circulated as to its plans. E
 Aside from the Republic bookings it is stated that other companies have concluded the week with orders which have convinced operators that the ex- pected boom is about to begin.

NUDE MYsTIF1Es JAPAN
Painting Of Woman By Another !
 First Attempt Of Its Kind

First Attempt Of Its Kind
 The first Japanese woman to put the nude fernirfines form on canvas Is Miss Kuwako Hanihara. She is sister of the, Japanese ambassador to the, United States and she achieved great publicity by Z. the nude painting in her studio rather than because she is the sister of the man whose grave consequences' remark produced such a startling aft ermath. .s.
 Miss Hanihara found tremendous diff ficulty in securing one of her sex to pose for her. This is said to be because the geniis ,mullierI at least those of passable body qualifications, have ever entertained a deep aversion to being made an bject of careful study ard scrutiny by one of their own sex. The nude feminine form divine, in Japan, has always been reserved for the mas culine brush, and gossip is rife as to who posed for Miss Hanihara and poached on jealously guarded field of the male painter.
 Miss Hanihara remains silent, despite the efforts to try and make her dis close the identity pf her model. She has permitted only a few to SC her paint ing and has declared now that none shall see it till after the judges have seen it. Persistent reports declare that Miss Haniharas model was herself, and, if so, this will amply explain how she managed to overcome the difficulty of securing feminine modei.-Altred F. Pieres in a Tokio Letter to the Brooklyn Eagle.

ELECTION TAME

The presidential election was very tame affair in Mississippi, and less than 100000 voters would have been boiled except for the fact that three constitutional amendments were submit ted on the same ticket, and great op- position had been worked up against one that sought to classify property for taxation. So far only 39 counties have made complete and official returns to the secretary of state.
 These indicate that Mir. Coolidge and Mir. La Toilette have very few friends and sympathizers in Mississippi. The latter would have received more votes, perhaps, than did Mir. Coolidge if he had succeeded in getting his name on the tickets voted in all the counties. but he did not. The law required that he file a petition in each county bearing 50 names, but he succeeded Tn only in 2S counties of the S2, and of course, did not get fair show with the voters. His electors were not legally selected, hence were refused place on the ticket unless they got up the peti- tions required.
