The bout will be the biggist draw ing card ever seen in New England. Although conflicting reports have been received about the seating ca paCity of the new stadium, it is said on good authority that the ultimate capacity will be slightly over 25,00o. From the way the tickets for the battle have been going, the seats will all be taken, it is thought.

the two worlds-they throw light
on the early history OF this coun'
try. They prove. for instance. that
at one time most or all of the
area of our tier of Gulf States was
under water and that the climate
was tropical. The fossils tell US
that about this time the slow NOV.
ing, heavily armored monsters like
the dinosaurs, which predominated
in earlier ages. had pretty nearly
disappeared from the surface OF
the earth and new animals. swifter
and smaller, more like those OF the
present day. had come into being.
Primitive Whales
Primitive toothed whales also
abounded. Their fossilized bones
found in the Gulf States show
them to have been quite unlike
modern whales. They were fifty
to seventy feet long, more than
half of which was tail, and they
were never more than eight feet
in diameter. The finding Of their
bones lends further support to the
theory that once the Gulf States
were submerged.
When the waters receded the
climate became colder and date
palms could no longer survive, for
they require intense heat, . dry
climate and plenty OF water. The

Better methods of marketing poul-
try products should go hand In hand
with increased production. Many
have about reached the limit Of ex-
pansion but few are making the
most of their opportunities in mar
keting. It is safe to say that more
than half of the eggs and poultry
produced upon the farms are sold to
local buyers or travelling collectors
and the price is whatever the buyer il
willing to pay. 1t makes lot of diff
ference to the producer whether he
receives the highest price or the
lowest. Too many pouitrymen pay
the highest price for what feeds
they buy and receive the lowest for
what products they sell. No wonder
farmers often tell us that poultry
does not pay. In many cases 1t Is
simply a side-line and Is given very
little serious consideration, whereas
it ought to be given the careful
thought that is accorded the corn
crop or the dairy herd.
Many of us are not situated in a
locality that provides an ever ready
market but even the smaller cities
offer chances to sell poultry at con-
siderably higher prices than the local
buyer can pay. Once one has built
up a trade and gained a reputation
for selling quality products. the rest
is easy. Families that desire to be
sure of the quality Of the poultry they
are eating will gladly pay a little
more than the retail price for a
chicken or fowl.
Special markets for both eggs and
dressed poultry may be found in
practically all parts Of the country.
During the colder weather, poultry
may be delivered to customers by
parcel post. while eggs are shipped
by mail at all times of the year. Re-
failing eggs and poultry means con-
siderably more work in preparing and
delivering the products, but it Is
work well spent and gives good re-
turns.
Those who cannot bother to hunt
out special markets may often realize
considerably more for their products
by shipping to q large city. AS a
rule. the fellow who comes around
to the farm to buy poultry and eggs
expects to purchase at a very low
price. Unfortunately. they are also
ready to take advantage in the mat
ter of weight If they get an oppor-
tunity.
To get the highest price for pouis
try, the birds should be conditioned
for a week or two before being plac-
ed on the market. Ten days of in
tensiye feeding will make a lot OF
difference in the returns from a given
number of fowl, broilers or roasters.
This intensive feeding simply means
that the birds are confined in small
coops and fed a fattening ration.
Given no opportunity for exercise.
they put on fat rapidly. The good
poultryman, whether he sells the
birds alive or dressed. finds it profit
able to get them in the best possible
condition. 1t may mean a difference
of several cents per pound IL the
birds are sold alive and even more IL
dressed.
When to sell is another important

editor had shouted to his hearers
TO take up the sword" to Organ

that the red flag of Communism
would wave from the capitals of
kovno and Washington and from
the Lithuanian hall in Brockton.
Casimir Vasi1 one of the men who

State witnesses said Bimba had de-
clared, in answer to a question, that
he did not go to Russia because his
work here was organize the workers
to overthrow the capitalistic govern
ment in America. Bimba's witnesses
said he had replied that he had a good
Job here and was making a living, so
why should he leave. All denied he
had mentioned Christ, although 9TH

no god. He is just plain man."
There still remains OF the trial the
rebuttal witnesses to be called by the
prosecution, but it was indicated today
that these will be few. Arguments of
the opposing counsel are expected to

well as to consider the arguments
which remain to be made, before he
makes his decision. Should Bimba be
found not guilty of both charges of
course the matter is ended. If he is
found guilty of one or both, his coun-
sci has said repeatedly that appeal
will be taken, even as high as the

they have the promise of support from
