SPORTS

Those who follow the pugilists and
their doings, will not look. with favor
upon the prospective fight between
Dempsey and the colored champion
Wills. Memories from the Jack John
son period arise to haunt the situa-
ton. The desperate efforts to find a
white man who could take the meas
ure of the dusky panther. and the
feeling of dismay as one after anoth-
er hit the rosin when one of Johnson's
wallops connected with an opponents
chin are still fresh in the minds of
all who hold dear white supremacy a.
long any lines.
And when a white hope materializ-
ed in the great Willard, the public
were led to believe that never again
should pugiistic world .honors be de-
cided by conflict between specimens
of the white and black race; but that
there should be separate and distinct
championships.
1t was thought that this would best
satisfy the sporting public. But il
seems that there is now a demand
that Dempsey and Wills should meet
to prove which has the more strength
and skill in the roped arena There
must be a demand because fight pro-
motors seldom stage bout unless
there is in view an immense gate, anc
there could not be an immense gate
unless the fight be popular.
And it is another instance to prove
the fickleness of a sporting crowd
Today, they are yelling for Demp.
sey-Wills go; tomorrow, shoulc
Dempsey be defeated, wall woule
sound around the pugilistic world, la
menting the lack of judgment in risk
ing a white championship before 8
black mauler.
Dempsey has nothing to win and al
to lose in this encounter. BY defeat.
ing the black champion, he woulc
gain no prestige by being declared
supreme in such class. If he wins
there will, of course, be a great deal
If satisfaction; but only from the
realization that he did not lose anc
that black worlds champion has
oeen relegated to the has beens
When Dempsey defeated Carpen-
;ier, the victory meant something
more than kicking an aspirant out Of
he way. National pride was aroused
ind an international championship
brought with it an increased prestige
n the world of sports.
But the lure of gold will bring the
white man and the black man togeth-
r. Paradoxical as it may seem, the
followers Of the game don't want the
light, but they will go to see it. A
,ictory for. Dempsey will be received
without any loud huzzas and without
my feeling that the ring has been ele.
ated by such contest. If Dempsey
is defeated, picture in the mind the
;hagrin, the modification, the desper.
ltion, that will follow the "white
hope" effort.
Better keep the races apart. The
result of this fight will not be confin.
to the lingside. Racial prejudice
will be aroused, and in the larger con-
gested cities, the aftermath of such
! match will be drawn out and surely
disturbing to racial quiet.

The City of Tracy,
Curbs Curb Pumps

Curb gasoline pumps which have
been a bone of contention for the past
years were removed Tuesday by the
owners from the streets at the request
of the mayor.
The city council early in 1928 pass
ed an ordinance ordering all gasoline
pumps from the streets and it has
been a case of Gin again, out again
since then. A court action was brot
soon after the passing of the ordin-
ance which held up its operation until
the case was decided in court. The
district court declared the ordinance
legal at the October term and Mayor
Lehman issued an order on October
oath, to pump owners directing them
TO remove the pumps by October goth
This order was held up by an injunc-
ton Of the district court pending the
appeal of the case to the Supreme
court. This appeal was recently drop
ped by T. H. Webb and the court de-
cree upholding the legality of the or.
dinance became Immediately operative
This closes the final chapter. on the
pump controversy unless the city
council in the future takes action tc
repeal the ordinance.-Tracy Head

for the rich to be happy; that pro-
sperity and power often drove JOY
from the door Of those who gained
them.
This is not inevitable, for His secret
works under these conditions as under
all others; but it is contrary to the
general supposition, although wholly
in accord with experience.
The merciful, the clean, the peace
making and right-seeking heart may
be happy in spite of all the burdens
and anxieties of wealth and power.
But no measure of abundance, no
exaltation of privilege can create OF
contribute to any true and lasting hap
piness if the inner life, the life OF the
soul, lack the essentials of which ne
spoke.
And these essentials result primary
ly from the right relating of the lite
to God, from the recognition OF that
fundamentals truth which Jesus came
to disclose-that the human is incom-
plete without the divine; that the heart
of man was made for God, and can
never find the full joy of life until 1t
has found Him.
The really happy people, the men
and women who go through life re-
joicing, who can sing at their work
and in the days of hardship and loss
and disappointment, are those who
have learned this secret, who have
found God, and from His standpoint
have gone back to the drudgery and
the burden-bearing, to the comrade-
ships and experiences Of the jou1 ney-
ing, with a new understanding of
what life means, and an abiding faith
that in all it's so-ca1led chance and cir
cumstance the love and wisdom of
God are working for the realization
Of those eternal values of the human
spirit which alone are worth while.
Phey find themselves in God and
lose themselves in the service of their
fellows. They are the helpers and the
happy.

The Home Spirit.

Knoxville Sentinel: Materials build
but the spirit must consecrate it as
home. Home-making is not house
building, nor is it housekeeping; it Is
the intuitive expression of the human
family, around which all worthy CIVIL
lization gathers.
What constitute the elements OF the
ideal home? There must be many
grownup sons and daughters every
where who can answer that question,
and with the answer test the present
environment of their own children by
that memory of experience. There
must be many mothers whose child
hood was spent in what was known
as typical American home, and who
can picture again the things that made
it sacred. There must be many moth
ers who. recalling that ancient bene-
diction of the American nation, have
builded the secret into their own
homes. :,
Perhaps some among them can tell
this growing, rushing commonwealth
the character Of the American home,
and whether something has been lost
that makes it so easy for our youtn
to abandon that home for the casual
glitter of wayside pleasure; and II So
what that something is that Ameri-
cans at heart hold so precious and are
so unwilling should be lost to the race
The secret is soHaething for our peo-
pie to seek it lis mislaid; for II
must never be forgotten that the ideal
of good homezliving is the unwrltten

In recent speech made by Mr.. F. K. Wlgtons
Commissioner of the Traffic Bureau, CnamDer o.
Commerce. Watertown, South Dakota, pe1ore tne
Rotary Club of WATERFOWL, he said among other
things, as follows:
aIJnder the operation of that law (Esch-Cum-
n,ins) we have seen great recovery ana I'M
nrovement in railroad transportation In the
matter of service the railroads are rendering
performance heretofore unequaled, although the
only fair test of this law has been during the
year 1928. i,
:. During the past year the railroads have hand
led the greatest volume Of tonnage in their his
tory, and that in an expeditions and satisfactory
manner.
! .There was practically no shortage OF cars or
equipment evident during the past heavy shipping
season, condition which has not existed since
the war; there was no general en1bargoes at
terminals due to congestion and inability to move
freight and there were no serious delays to ship
ments due to lack of proper functionIng OF the
Transportation machine, all of which means doafs
in thepockets of shippers.
For these reasons place adequate tt ansporta-
tion-ahead of cost of transportation.
..sTo have our freight rates and passenger fares
cut in half would help US little if the service were
to be likewise curtaied and made uncertain and
unreliable. Ideal transportation is adequate

At the last meeting of the Morgan

reelected as follows. F. H. Schieffert,
president; F. S. Pollard, secretary, and
E. A. Wendt, treasurer. A permanent
committee consisting of the officers

appointed to investigate soliciting pro-

Workings of the Esch-Cummins Law
As Viewed BY Our Patrons
;. P, M. & Q. Ry

Everyone is more or less familiar with the
condition of the railroads when turned back co
their owners after Federal Control. They were
depleted in finances, undermined morally and their
operating equipment reduced to point of famine.
Tonnage offered the railroads for transporta-
ton has increased so rapidly that constant ad-
ditons to equipment are necessary to meet the
growing demand.
Every little equipment was added during the
26 months of Federal Control and the existing
equipment was permitted to deteriorate.
Drastic action was necessary to recover from
this condition and such action was accomplished
by purchasing and putting into service over 400
locomotives and over 100000 freight cars
during the year 1923.
.'That is the principal reason why we did not
suffer from car shortage during the past veal"
This statement by Mr.. Wigton pertaining to
the Transportation Act Commonly known as the
Esch- Cummins Law) is SO interesting that we
are giving our patrons an opportunity to read it.

The Paper Dress Form.

The following is from an article by
Lucy Thompson, Hoard's Dairyman.
This falls right in line with the Home
Project work of the Redwood County
Farm Bureau.
"A home economics worker came all
the way from London lately to be
taught the secret of the American
home made. dress form. She hat!
heard that this invention was work
ing a big improvement in the figures
of the American women and she want
ed to find out how it was done.
cit may seem extravagant to say
that the possession will work chance
in ones figure but this is the way a
worker from Cornell University ex-
planned it to me when l expressed
surprise.
"You see," she said, "this kind of
form is an exact duplicate of a wo-
mans figure and you should hear the
gasps of dismay that have heard
when the women first see these forms.
as that what l look like? What
can l do to take that hump off. my

there see the best-dressed and best
figured women"
"The idea of this form is not new
but it is such wonderful help-that
wish every woman in this country had
one. No matter how well you can
sew, fitting is always problem and
the paper form makes it as simple as
if you had an expert dressmaker do
ing the fitting right on you.
eff you are one of the lucky ones
who has a dressmaker and does no
sewing, it is just as much of boon to
you for you only need to buy your
materials and send your figure to be
fitted Miss Jessie Hoover, the wom-
an who goes from end to end of this
country lecturing on milk campaigns
is SO busy that she can't stay put long
! enough to have her clothes made.
miss Hoover was in Milwaukee last
winter and went over to Madison
Wisconsin, where there was big con-
vention of farm women in session
Miss Gladys Meloche of the State
University demonstrated the dress
form and used Miss Hoover as a
model. The form is now in Washing
ton with Miss Hoover's dressmaker
and all she has to do is decide OF
materials and styles; the form sees to
the fitting.
"For the woman who Simply can
not sew" the form is -godsend for
she is the one who has to try on a
dress forty times before it is finished.
No need to point out what the form
means to her.
"The cost of these forms is one Of
their chief attractions for they can be
made for from so cents to a dollar
If you like you can buy all your
materials from a concern in the East
which went in heavily on. their manu-
facture as soon as they foresaw the
demand. About all there is to the
materials is a gauze vest with sleeves
and high neck and quantity of gum
med paper. :,
''It is easier to get the materials
than the necessary help as it takes
three persons to make a form-one
to act as model, one to mcisten the
gummed paper, and one to apply the
strips. The last mentioned must know
the work very well if the form is to
be success.
with the form mounted your exact
height, you can make nearly every
thing without trying it on at all. For
the popular draped dresses of today,
it is almost indispensable"
The material is on sale at the Palace
Store at Redwood Falls and at the
Farmers Store in LambertOn. The
prices are 75c per set if purchased
at the store, 85c parcel post prepaid.
A set consists of one roll of paper
and one vest any size from 80 to SO.
Additional paper may be secured at
35c per roll at the store or 40c parcel
post prepaid and vests at soc each.
Usually more than one roll is needed
for dress form so 1t is advisable tc
purchase two rolls Of paper for each
form.
The Township Units have been
studying the dress form in the Cloth
ing Project being conducted in the
county Full and complete instruc-
ton may be secured from any of the
Leaders or assistants OF by writing
