DEMPSEY LIKELY
 TO RETIRE NOW
Ii He Does Fight This Year, It
 Will Be His Last
By The Associated Press.

New York Feb. 24.-Apparently absorbed in the gentler arts of ma trimony, movies and memoir writing, Jack Dempsey is giving less thought to the defense of his heavyweight boxing championship than an in- dustrious group of promoters head ed by Tex Rickard. The latest shift in the program finds Rickard pre- pairing to match Tom Gibbons and Harry Wills, the outstanding two contenders, for bout in the spring to determine an opponent for the champion in September but there is growing feeling among observers that Dempsey. or Mrs. Estele Taylor Dempsey, has decided he will put away the gloves for good.
 If he adhered to schedule, Demp- sey would put his crown at stake this season, for he has risked his laurels in outstanding bouts at two- year intervals regularly since he top pied Jess Willard from the throne on scorching Fourth of July at Toledo in 1919. He fought Billy Miske and Bill Brennan before Sen- gazing in the Battle of the Gen. tury" with Georges Carpenter in 1921 at Boyle's Thirty Acres, then was idle until 1923, when he defeat ed but failed to knock out Tom 1 Gibbons in the Montana boom town, Shelby, before the memorable drama with Luis Firpo at the Polo Grounds. That was Dempsey's last fight and the one that will be remembered | longest.
 Dempsey's most spectacular fights were with Willard, Carpenter and Firpo. Willard hung on until the start of the fourth round, although | knocked down seven times in the opener. Carpenters famous right connected once with Dempsey's jaw but the gallant FrenChman vas stretched out on the canvas in the fourth round of a battle that set a new record for receipts and attend- ance. Firpo, knocked down seven times in the first round, rallied and sent the champion through the ropes with a terrific right, but was finished quickly in the second round,
 1 If Dempsey is persuaded to de- : fend his title once more this year, 1 there is little doubt it will be his l last, win or lose. Financially well off, the champion is known to de- sire to settle down." and forego the rigors of another training siege.

whole cost of making the tariff eff
fective is to be stood by the farmer
himself. The government figures
only as helpful intermediary be-
tween the farmer and the exporter,
made necessary from the special ma
ture of the agricultural industry. The
whole cost of the bounty plus oper-
ating expenses would be collected
from the farmer in the form of an
excise.
what the farmer would pay
toward the bounty he would not
grudge, for every penny of bounty
would come back to him three-fold
(assuming that three-fourth of the
crop is consumed at home). But
what he would pay towards operat-
ing expense would be total loss, and
would reduce his protected return by
just that amount. Congressman
Clague estimates that the cost Of
this system to the farmer would not
be more than $5,000,000 a year. This
sum would be spread out among all
the growers of wheat, corn, hogs and
cattle in the country. 1t would leave
the farmer net gain of about 80
cents a bushel on wheat, and hogs,
cattle and corn in proportion, over
gross returns.

Minnesota "wets" are lining up be-

Meanwhile friends of Governor

the confident belief that the govec-

was based on reports that in rural

MCNary Declares
NOyes' Farm Aid
Plan Is "SimpIer''
ST. PAUL DISPATCH COMMENTS
ON CONGRESSMAN CLAGUE'S
COMMENT ON LOW OPERAT-
ING EXPENSE.

Senator McNary Of Oregon, VINO
with Congress Haugen of Iowa was
the author of the McNary-Haugen
Export corporation farm relief bill,
Thursday COVE his Endorsement to
principle Of the Moves plan advanced
to make the protective tariff effective
on wheat, corn, hogs and cattle.
"The Moves PLAN" Senator Nc
Nary said, deserves serious and
earnest consideration by the Commit
tee on Agriculture"
The big problem before the conf
mittee, of which Senator McNary is
member, is to find means to put
agriculture back on an equality with
industry and labor, he said.
"Mr. Noyes has made a sugges-
tion," the Senator continued, "That
seems to point the way. From has
ty examination of its provisions, the
plan apparently is a simplification
of the McNary- Haugen bill"
Senator McNary said he was for
the principle of the Acknowledgment
bill when the agritation for it first
was started and still believes that it
is sound. Congress refused to ap-
prove the means provided in the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill for carrying out
that principle, which is to restore the
purchasing power of. the farmer
dollar. The trouble with the measure
was that it put the government in
business and provided complex syS
TEN for collecting from the grower
the funds for marketing the crop sur
plus.
The principle was right then and
it is still right" Senator McNary
said l am for it and will do every
thing I can to get its approval by
Congress"
The Saint Paul Dispatch last Sat
urday morning printed the following
editorial, commenting of the att
tude taken by Congressman Frank
4 Clague of Redwood Falls on the pro.
posed bill.
! Congressman Clague brings ou
a merit in the Noyes plan worth par
ticular attention. The simplicity OF
the bounty-eXcise system on which
the plan is based is an element o
( strength to it in many ways. Foi
one thing, it obviates all objections
On the score of government in bust
ness. For another, it makes for

no small practical Importance.

equality for agriculture should include

UNIV. FOOTBALL
PROFIT WILL GO
FOR BUILDINGS
PRESIDENT COLEMAN OF STATE
UNIVERSITY STATES PROFITS
WILL BE USED FOR LAND AND
BUILDINGS.

President l.. d. Coffman of the
University of Minnesota has set at
rest all doubt as to the use that in
stitution will make of football re-
ceipts over and above the cost of the
general athletic and physical educa-
ton program by announcing that the
surplus will be used to buy land adj
jacent to the campus and to help fl
nance necessary buildings.
He pointed out that funds noted by
the 1919 Legislature for a compre-
hensive building program are near
ing exhaustion and that in future
building programs demands on the
state treasury can be reduced by
what ever surplus earnings come
| from athletics.
President Coffman gave emphasis,
however, to the view that football is
and must remain a sport for sports
sake. The fact that it mas taken the
public fancy to such an extent as to
provide earnings of around 100000
a year is, he said, merely one of the
unforeseen circumstances of the
games swift growth in public favor.
Money obtained from football
games is handled just the way other
! University money is, he pointed out.
Although it does not come from the
| Legislature it is spent under a rig
orous system of checks and safe
guards, and all OUTLAWS are subject to
the Investigations of the state ex
aminer.
The surplus football earnings from
the 1924 season were used to buy
some small tracts of land adjoining
the campus and to complete some
more, sections of the stadium interiO.
for the use of various athletic teams
or in intra-mural.
President Coffman has already
called attention to the University:
need for completing it's athletic plant
by the erection of field house, sucf
as is now possessed by Michigan
Iowa, Illinois, Chicago and other con
ference schools. A field house is
especially important to the genera
physical education program of tho
institution, as it permits the student
body to take part during the winter
in sports that would be impossible
out of doors. The average field house
is large enclosed area with an eartf
floor over which, on occasion, a tenn
porary floor can be laid for basket
ball games and the like.

ing been success in Illinois and
Massachusetts, has had less than six
months trial, not enough to deter
mine whether it will be success in
Minnesota. By the time the state
wide primary rolls around in June,
the reorganization plan will have
been in effect less than one year.
Members of the Klan in Minnesota,
according to Klan sympathizers,
probably would vote neither for Gov
ernor Christianson nor for Mayor
Leach, the latter having vigorously
opposed the Klan in the last Mime
apolis city election, and the governor
having had a public rev with one
man who was regarded as spokesman
for the Khan.
Interest of state politicians CEN
ter in the race for the republican
nomination for treasurer, position
vacated by Henry Rines, when he re-
signed to become. comptroller under

Candidates for this nomination may
include Judge Edward Stark, state
treasurer; Oscar Smith, commission
err of immigration; Juliu Schmahl,

bly, one other There were hints that
