GEORGIA PEACH
MEETS TUNNEY
Defeats George Cook in the Bout
at Columbus Last Satur-
day Night

The Georgia Peach" is again
victor.
In the ten round bout with George
Cook, Australian heavyweight, at Co
lumbus Saturday night he clearly
demonstrated his superiority over
that of his opponent by taking -
cry round of the ten round melee.
In the seventh round he had Cook
groggy and came within one count
of having another knockout 30 his
credit. AS for Cook, he was just
glutton for punishment and did
not have a chance with the fast
"Young" Stribling.
There were between four and
five thousand there to see the Geor-
gia boy win and it was one time that
everybody was pleased with a fistic
exhibition.
Plans are under way to have Strib-
ling meet Gene Tunney in New York
December %. The only thing to
prevent the bout now is the refusal
of the New York Boxing commits
sion to waive three days on the Fl
year old rule as Stribling will not be
81 until December 26. Those inter
ested mostly in the fistic game say
that they believe that Stribling will
defeat Tunney in the 15-round go He
has developed a remarkable punch
and if he does not defeat Tunney
he will at least make things interest
ing for him.

SOAP FLAKES AND
HOT WATER CLEAN
PORCH FURNITURE

After a period of hot, dusty wealth
err, the porch furniture sometimes nc.
quires a coating of dust which de-
tracts seriously from its cool and in.
wiling appearance.
Any amount of washing with cold
water will fail TO dislodge these Law
ers of fine dust which seem ground
into the. surface, but they will respond
very quickly to an application of Ivory
flake suds which quickly removes the
stubborn dirt without damaging the
surface finish of the furniture.
To prepare the suds quickly, dis
solve the soap flakes in hot water.
Add cold water until just comfortable
for the hands and whip up to a thick
suds. Squeeze soft cloth out of the
suds and rub quickly but vigorously
over the surface. Rinse Immediately
with a cloth squeezed out of clear
water. Dry thoroughly.
Wicker furniture may be cleaned
with the same suds, applying it with
a soft brush instead of with a
cloth.

VOGUE EXPANDS
CONFIDENT Of
FUTURE
Piece Goods Department Is
Added and Other Stocks
to Come Soon.

That San Antonio merchants feel
no cause to restrict buying but on
the contrary are expanding their
stocks and business is indicated by
announcement of The Vogue, Stephan,
Inc, Saturday Of the installation of a
complete new department involving a
large expenditure and adding largely
to their merchandising stocks in the
creation Of a piece goods department
on their first floor.
Carl NJ. Stephan, in making the
announcement, said this would be one
of limited number of piece goods de-
partments in the country In a women's
specially shop.
PIONEER STEP.
ut is in the natural of pioneering in
San Antonio merchandising circles, :"
he said, "but we feel no hcsitancy in
making this innovation at this time
and we believe that it will be profit
able from the beginning. Formal
opening will take place shortly and
we will make announcement through
the columns of The Light We will
carry the very latest weaves and
fabrics for dresses, suits, coats and
ensembles from patterns to Innings in
this department installing one of the
most complete lines of the kind ever
stocked in San Antonio"

of E. e. Delaplane well known as
an expert ON piece and silk goods.
OUTI,0OK GnOD
Concerning the retail business situa-
ton. Mr.. Stephan said:
despite indications to the con-
trary, the outlook for the fall season
in my opinion is so good that progress
can not be halted in San Antonio.
Such step would be folly if our
records and our investigations did
not show eonclusively, a steady in
crease in all our present business over
former Seasons. In the near future,
We will inaugurate additional expan-
sions which in effect will give our
store here the aspect of department
store.
ave not only are going to prove
that business is good here but we are
going to help keep it good by increas-
ing our stocks and adding to our en-
ployes at time, when in our judg-
/, ment, San Antonio stands on the
hhreshhold of business awakening
THAT will bring prosperity to everyone
in position to take advantage of the
TRADE that is centoring in this city.
CITY GROWING.
eve shall continue to operate on
the theory of small profits and quick
turnovers so successful in the past
giving a maximum OF merchandising
quality at price consistent there
with and we look to the future with
the utmost confidence. San Antonio
is big, growing city and nothing can
stop the march Of development that
is at hand"

Helena.-After three years as sec
retary Of the Montana state fair, B.
7. Moore has resigned and May 1
will become manager of the Gallatin
county fair at BOzeman. The reason
for his leaving is that through fail
ure of the legislature to appropriate
for the state exposition, there is doubt
whether the fair will be held in Hell
ena this year.
Mr.. MOore's going to Bozeman is
temporary. In the middle of the sea-
son there is little opportunity for g
fair executive to become established
in the bigger institutions. Under his
management, the Montana state fair
has become one of the best agricul-
tural and livestock shows in the
United States, the farming displays
being especially of high order.
J. D. Veach of Helena is under
stood to be a candidate for secretary
in case the fair is held this year.

BOzEMAN HATCHERY ATTAINS FAME FOR
METHODS OF TRANSPORTING FISH Spawn
Superintendent Thompson Designer of Packing Cases Which
Insure Safety of Delicate Organisms Upon
Long, Rough Journeys

w. I. Thompson, superintend-
ent of the federal fish hatchery
here, has received an inquiry from
the Trout Brook company of
Hudson, Wis, in reference to a
case devised by him for use in
shipping fish eggs.
The letter was sent to the u. S.
bureau Of hatcheries at Washington,
D. c., and copy was sent to Mr..
Thompson last week. The case re-
ferred to is one he made and put into
use while in charge Of the Leadville,
Col, hatchery many years ago.
For Rough Journeys
Mr.. Thompson has recently designed
q case in which "eyed" eggs may be
transported upon pack horses to fish
less lakes which are otherwise mac
cessible. Many Of these lakes exist
in Glacier national park and in the
national forests, and the bureau of
fisheries is stocking them with game
fish.
Where there are no other fish to eat
THE eggs and to consume natural fish
Ifon, the placing of "eyed" eggs g
the most satisfactory method Of
stocking, Mr.. Thompson declares.
= IS possible to transport a greatsr
nuhber of eggs than Of fry and the
fisl hatch out in what is to become
thelr native habitat, thus obviating
ANY loss which might occur while the
little fellows are becoming accustomed
