CARPENTER AND
 HUFFMAN IN DRAW
Decision Rendered at Madison
 Square Is Generally Popular

New York, May 22 P-Georges Carpenter, orchid man of France, has lost none of the color which makes him the rings greatest show man. The French dier-fighter demonstrated that when he fought q coura geous 10 round draw with Eddie Huffman, blonde California sailor lad. before 14,000 spectators at Madison Square Garden last night.
 IL was q battle between a rugged youth with two-flsted attack and a cagey veteran with q flashing right, The decision, generally popular, found newspapermen and officials widely split as to it's exactness. Some of the scribes favored the French man while others were emphatic in their belief that the Pacific coast youth had battered his way to d tri- umph. One of the judges cast his ballot for Carpenter, the other for Huffman while the referee refused to give either a margin.
 The fight itself sparfled with thrills and tense moments, Carpen- tier a smart boxer and a dangerous right handed puncher displayed 8, colorful attack but he could not set himself for the right which would have stopped the game Californian. On the other hand Huffman took all that Georges tossed his way and paid him back in full. However Huffman's failure to follow up an advantage in the fifth and sixth rounds saved Carpenter from losing the verdict.
 Up until the fifth the match had a slight Carpenter flavor. With half minute to go in that round, Huffman leaped at the Frenchman with both gloves flying. He caught Carpenter coming in with a whirling tight, crossed with his left and then shifted to the body. The French Man of Destiny" was preparing to hoist dis tress signals when the bell inter rupted hostilities.
 Carpenter came up for the sixth crouching cautiously, expecting Huff man to press his advantage. But the sailor lad waited for Carpentier to come to him and Georges proiited by this delay,

LETTERS OF THE PEOPLE !

. = :
Mr.. Editor:
In last weeks editorial headed
"Fair Not Dead,"' you aired your
views in regard to the fair and 1
believe the farmer has a right to
do likewise.
We fail to see wherein the fair
committee has done anything to
be congratulated or thanked for.
Instead of putting on fair that
would be a community help and
uplift, everything has been conf
mercialized, that has been the
spirit of all the fair committee
meetings. We hear so much about
patronizing home industry and
trade at home as the mail order
houses pay no taxes nor give cred
it when needed. But the same fell
lows who. holler the loudest have
a carnival company come in here
and take out thousands of dollars.
Does that money stay in the town
and help any of us?
The farmers idea of a fair is
place of education and the only
education we could see is teaching
our children to gamble. Of course
great many were attracted by
the bright lights and music and
hustle but what did it all amount
to in the end?
We feel that the fair did not
fulfill its purpose.
Why not have fair with local
entertainments and games and
sports of clean nature. and keep
that money at home? If the money
the carnival company took away
had been kept at home, the much
needed fair grounds could have
been bought. We believe in calling
a spade spade. If you have 9
fair call it a fair, if a carnival
give it the proper name.
All the farmer asks is square
deal. and given this, you will FIND
he will always do his part.
