United States industries using
Argentine products have been kept

some Of these Materials the COM

gentine linseed went into Great Bri-

oil and oilcake and exported to the
United States. Our higher duties
on oil render this procedure un-

are now taking directly the linseed

Britain, and are celebrating it in

GIBBONS WILL HAVE TO STOP CARPENTER EARLY ~.
TO GET A RETURN BATTLE WITH CHAMP DEMPSEY
RN Joe WILLIAMS

Michigan City, Ind, May 2G.-lt
! does not require "a considerable
amount Of prophetic courage to step
out and name Tommy Gibbons as the
| winner over Georges Carpenter in
( the lO-round fight to- be held here
! May 81.
| For all the fine form he has shown
! in training and the added weight he
carries, the t'renchman is through
. He was on the down grade when he
met Jack Dempsey in 1921 and his
/ subsequent knockout at the savage
hands of Sikh late the following year
offered further proof Of his complete
decline.
Sikh hasn't won a fight since and
any number of American clowns have
| beaten him severely during the past
six months. The dope is not com
pIimentury TO the Frcnchman's abili-
ty and offers nothing to Indicate
that he viii be particularly formida-
bic against any first-class fighting
man.
, Will Have To Beat Dcmpsey's Record
Its may be presumed that Gibbons
is still first-class fighting man,
| though the stand he made against
the hard-hitting Dempsey through
fifteen long rounds out on the Mon
tana plains last summer undoub;ed-
ly took lot out of him.
Gibbons still hopes to get another
/ l. Ia, nd, ha n
get it by beating Carpenter. But
! Gibbons will have to do more than
merely beat him; he will have to
| knock him out and do it with u spec
! tacular flourish.
Dempsey stopped Carpenter in
! four rounds. Gibbons, to rc-aWak-
en- interest in another bout with the
! champion, must register knockout
! in three rounds at the latest. In
! short. he must do better than Dcmp
! sey did.
Ihls will give the promoters fresh
material to use in smoking up an
other Glib IJns- Dempsey fight. The
| turnstile fish will not stop to con-
! slider that any one of several other
light heavywcights, not excluding
Young Stribling, might have done
| the same thing.
Gibbons Plans an Aggressive Fight
Gibbons, talking over his plans
with the writer, promised to make
an aggressive fight from the start.
If he keeps his word this will be a
thrilling duel of fists while it lasts
and it won't last long.
Carpenter always carries the fight
| to his opponent. Ignoring all coun-
sci to the contrary he carried the
fight to Dempsey, a bigger, heavier
and more dangerous hitter than Glib
bons, and at one stage during the
| furry, landed straight right hand
punch-his big gun-that almost won
for him immortal fame.
The Frenchman will fight Gibbons
the same way he fought Dempsey,
for he knows no other way. Gibbons,
in consequence, will have plenty of
opportunity to prove his ability as
sharpshooter, fighter who can
pick an opening and send over a
!, knockout.
Can Gibbons hit hard enough to
stop Carpenter? | think he can and
will If he doesn't, you can put it
down that Dempsey ruined him last
July.

mission is free.
The Road to Happiness" was pro-
duced by the Ford Motion Picture
Laboratory cooperating with gov
eminent officials at Washington, D.
c. and has the endorsement Of the
Bureau of Public Roads, U. S. De-
partmcnt Of Commerce, the Highway
Educational Board and the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce.
The picture has distinct appeal
from the fact that it tells true-to-
life story, with scenes laid around a
little town in Virginia and with the
simple people Of this community por-
traying the principal roles.
The story centers about young Bob
Preston, farm boy who trudges over
muddy roads to school and who en-
dures the hardships attendant to
transporting farm produce to market
over all but impossible highways. He
determines to devote his energies to
awakening the community to the ad-
vantages of better roads. At school
he learns Of a national essay contest
| on good roads, enters it and captures
the first prize, four-year course at
college. From the hands of Presi-
dent Coolidge himself, Bob, in Nash
ington, receives his certificate OF
scholarship which entities him tt
his college course. He takes up en-.
! gineering, finishes. school, enter:
work in the Bureau of Public Road:
and finally, when the county com
missioners in his old home commun
ity realize the need of better roads
he accepts their offer and becomes
county engineer.
The picture is filled with interest
ing scenes, beautifully photographed
and offers not only good entertain
ment but is high in educationa

SPUD GROWERS
PLAN SYSTEM
TO HOLD PRICE
Minnesota Exchange Would
Follow Tobacco Growers
Cooperative System
HOW THE PLAN WORKS

st. Paul, Mimi, May 26.-Minneso-
ia is to have a gigantic system Of
farmer-owned potato warehouses
valued at about $3,0G0,000 and s.rv-
ing every important shipping point
in the northern half of the state
where potatoes are grown on a COM
mercial basis.
This fact became known today
when officers of the new Minnesota
Potato Growers exchange took up
the warehouse problem as their first
step to carry out the orderly potato
marketing program to which the as
ISOLATION is pledged. -.
A preliminary survey of the po-
ato-growing sections of the state
shows that the new exchange has
members around 444 separate ship
ping points, at most of which ware
house facilities must be available by
the time the crop begins to move this
fall.
In conference with exchange Off
Gals was Ralph M. Barker Of Car
rolton, KY, director of the ware
housing department of the Bulley
Tobacco Growers Cooperative as
ISOLATION, one Of the most success
full commodity marketing associations
in the United States.
Tobacco Growers Prosper
Mr.. Barker has been in charge of
the tobacco growers warehousing
problem since the organization was
launched three years ago. Starting
with nothing, the tobacco organiza-
ton now has title to 1855 warehouses,
worth s7,OOO,OoO,, all of which were
purchased on an amortization plan.
The warehouses are being paid for
by making small deductions from the
tobacco as it passes through the
houses. ..,'
Mr.. Barker will give to the Min
nesota movement the benefit Of his
varied experience with financing and
conducting great system of ware
houses.
The Minnesota exchange will re-
quire enough warehouses to with
hold from the market consider
able proportion of the 10000, 900 bush
els that it's 1880 members will grow
during the present crop year. Before
definite steps toward acquiring or
building houses, careful survey Of
the entire territory will have to be
made, according to S. G. Rubir ow,
acting general manager, SO that no
time or funds will be wasted on I'M
important projects.
TO HOLD UP PRICES
1T will be the intention of the eX-
change to lease, subject to purchase,
as many Of the farmers potato
warehouses as possible. 1t is our
purpose to make full use of all ply
steal facilities now available" Mr.
Rubinow said. "We will use every
available house that comes up to
our specifications, for without p1o-
per storage the exchange will be
powerless to prevent market slumps
at the digging time. The annual
slump is the one big evil in the pre-.
sent marketing system which co.
operation must prevent"
The first cash advance was $3.7s
for each 100 pounds, which was
more than the irowers had received
from spectators in average years
before the cooperative entered the
field. This season the association
has issued more than $4,000 check:
to its members. Final prices will b.
between "a and 25 cents, depending
on the outcome of negotiations nov
under way for the sale Of the las
OF the crop. ~
