LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan.

dictate the heavyweight box

up housekeeping as the hus-
band of Estelle Taylor, mo-
ton picture actress. whom he now
serves as business manager and
publicity man.. the ring champion
admitted here last night.
Who will pick up the crown when
he drops 1t viii have to be decided
Dempsey said, but his personal
choice would be Tommy Gibbons of
ST. Paul.
He's a good clean fellow and he's
white" was the way the champion
described his possible successor.
Regardless OF who wears the cloak
Of ring supremacy, next, however,
Dempsey is sure that he Is going to
let 1t fall from his shoulders on his
wedding day.
And when I'm through. I am
through. Therell be no re-entry
into the ring once ! step out" he
declared.
Rumor has talked largely of the
approaching marriage Of Dempsey
and Miss Taylor for several mouths.
but until yesterday the two had
y been reticent about officially admit,
ting their plans to marry next sum,

There were many things to con.

'Estelle has her motion picture ca
reer and I have my fighting. We
had TO 60 slowly and make our wed.
ding plans conform to our profes.
sioral plans. We will be married
the last of May or the first OF June"
There still is a possibility that
Dempsey may defend his title before
withdrawing from-thc ring. but he
admits there Is no chance Of another
bout unless some contender makes
a particularly good showing between
now and June.
1T is still possible for some fight
err to cone suddenly to the fore in
the next few months and make a
little bout practicable" he said.
but I don't see any one of that
calibre now

Should Jack Dempsey, worlds

ITO from the ring next May or June
without again defending his title.
Tommy Gibbons of st. Paul will
claim that honor, Gibbons said last
night.
Gibbons declared his record, which
includes a l5-round fight with Demp-
sey at Shelby, Montana, July 4, 1921,
in which he stayed the limit with
the champion, entitled him TO first
consideration for the highest crown.
A return match with Dempsey is
being sought by Gibbons. but negoti.
ations thus far have been unsuccess-
full. Gibbons has registered a chai-

(St. Paul Dispatch)
Speaking at meeting of farm
ers and business men held at En-
deriin, N. d., on Tuesday, Edward
Barr, agricultural secretary of the
st. Paul Association, gave voice tt
a happy thought. The big wheat
crop of 1924 and its high price was
the means to an end, not the end
or aim CT up-to-Gate farming. IT
had furnished the farmer with
finances sufficient to get him out
OF the one-crcp rut and buy live
stock he should have, to balance
his operations on the land. In
stead, therefore, of being an incite
ment for the farmer to 'go into
wheat again" heavier thanbefore, il
really should be taken as a lift out
Of the rut into which he was dig
ging himself. The rut, after al, is
a grave which many a man-farm-
er and merchant-has dug for him
self. and in which he has been
buried.
If the farmer can see it in this
light, if he can see that 1924 gave
him the motive power to ride out Of
the hole and on to the level road
way. he is going 20 ride easie:
hereafter. The road paved with
good intentions is no thorough
fare. but the highway paved with
diversification has any Outclassed

built for smooth going to destf,

The porpoise dived from view but
the whale stayed on top of the water.
He was so busily thinking of his
looks and of how high he could spout
the water over his head, that he
didn't see a small boat leave the big

him.
He didn't see the coils of thick
rope or the long spear-like thing
called harpoon that was fastened
to the rope.
Suddenly he felt singing pain in
his side. Then he turned and saw
the little boat-and the men and the
rope and everything.
