Dempsey Confident
Will Keep Crown for
Some Years to Come

New York, March 1-(AP)-Jack
Dempsey today paused In his long
sparring match with boxing boards,
promoters, politicians and managers
over proposed fights with Harry Wills
and Gene Tunney, to forecast reten-
ton of his title for several years 70
come and his ultimate departure from
the heavyweight throne as lighting
champion"
II honestly and sincerely believe l
am as good today as the day | won
the championship from Jess Willard"
the champion said. Naturally, l am
a bit ring rusty, but I'm not half as
rusty as some people think, for I've
never given up boxing. That's part
of my regular exercise.
I'll be licked when my time
comes" he continued. But I'm not
going to be licked anywhere near as
soon as some people may imagine.
And it will not be because I won't
fight"
The champion then made his Oft
repeated declaration that he was
ready to step into the ring "as soon
as I'm shown the money and guaran-
teed protection"
Dempsey displayed interest In the
defeat of Harry Greb by Tiger Flow
ers for the middleweight title. The
suggestion that Greb's defeat was
due in part, at least, to lack of con-
dition prompted the heavyweight
champion to say that IF I'm ever
whipped, it will be the fists of an OPP
ponent; not by Broadway"
Il like my recreation and amuse-
ment as well as anyone else, but for
every hour / spend in lobster pal
ace l spend one hundred in the open
air. You can't be a champion in
anything and hit up the stuff For
tunately for me, I realized that early
in my career" he concluded.

the Canton team said they would claim
the championship because Cony High
was leaving the ice.

Bradstreet scored for Cony in the first
period and r. York tied for Canton In
the third.
Cony made desperate attempt to
win in the sixth period when Brad

Dyer warded the shot successfully,

again in this period with a fine stop.
Most of the attacks were stopped in

A Wise and Timely Warming
From the Houston Chronicle.

From the Houston Chronicle
The commissioner of agriculture of
Texas has long persistently and in
telligently sought to impress upon
the farmers of Texas that it will be
unwise-indeed, the supremacy OF
folly-to plant another such crop Of
cotton as was planted in Texas in
1925.
While the present outlook does not
seem to furnish any very substantial
grounds to fear that such a crop will
be raised. it should be kept in mind
that Texas weather is very capriciOus
and Texas soil very resourceful and
the whole situation may be changed
In a few weeks.
Mr.. Terrell says greater areas are
being planted than should be. While
many farmers are reducing the area
of cotton land. new land is being de-
veloped in sufficient quantity to more
than offset the reduction. and he
fears a 6.000, ,00O-bale crop may be pro-
duced.
If his fears should be realized and
100000 bales are added to the s.
100000 surplus carried over. 20-cent
cotton will give way to 10-cent cotton.
Much less than 5000, 900 bales raised
in Texas added to the 100000 sur
plus will be sufficient to lower ma
terially and harmfully the price Of the
leader of all staples.
The slightest attention given ele-
mentary mathematics will show the
farmers of Texas that a repetition of
the crop of 1925 will mean financial
calamity. That calamity will be in
tensifed just in proportion as feed
crops and meat are sacrificed to cot
ton

No words of Gen. Washington were
ever more eloquent and emotionally
expressive Of his faith in the Federal
Government than what he wrote in
his last circular letter to the governors
of the several States. requesting them
to present his appeal to their legisla-
lures, and. through the legislatures. to
the people He viewed the growing
disrespect to the Federal Constitution
in behalf of State or local advantage
with the gravest concern, saying:
Essential to the existence of the
United States is the friendly disposi
tion which will forget local prejudices
and policies make mutual concessions
to the general prosperity, and. In some
instances, sacrifice individual advan-
tages to the interest of the commu
nifty. Liberty is the basis of the glo-
rious fabric of our independency and
national chara cter, and whoever would
dare to sap the foundation, or over
turn the structure. under whatever
specious pretext he may attempt it,
will merit the bitterest execration and
severest punishment which can be in
'flicted by his injured country
1T is indispensable to the happiness
of the individual that there should be
lodged somewhere a supreme power
to regulate and govern concerns of the
confederated Republic, without which
the Union cannot be of long duration,
and everything must very rapidly tend
to anarchy and confusion.
We shall be left entirely in a state of
nature: or we may find by our own
unhappy experience that there is a nat.
ural and necessary progression from
the extreme of anarchy to the extreme
of tyranny, and that arbitrary power
Is most easily established on the ruins
of liberty abused to licentiousness.
Sometimes Washington appears to
forestall advocates who would select
parts of the Constitution to condemn,
or to set aside by local opposition or
illegal plebiscites. Washington wrote
his warning more than a century and
a quarter ago.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

| Especially is this true of roses.
A rosebuSh is like a Boston ter
rier, a somewhat tricky thing to
raise to perfection, but the final re-
suit Is worth all the work.
\ X X
Investigate, therefore; read and
| heed.
Such is the first commandment in
rose growing. Without it all that
| you might manage to accomplish
| would be by pure luck, and 1t would
| be luck you did not deserve at that.
Why trust to luck, when brain Is
so much surer?
The second commandment Is to
leave the one-year-old plants alone and
purchase only wo-year-old bushes.
The little plants ought to be bought
by tho average amateur only If he
has a place which he can set aside
for growing them on" as the horti-
culturists insist on saying.
The trouble is that the average new
grower expects these little fellows to
turn into big rosebushes almost over
night. When they do no such thing
of the kind he loses his interest In
roses and often gives them up alto
gether. believing that it takes an eX-
pert to grow roses properly.
The amateur will find it more profit
able to buy a single tWO-yetlr-Old bush
than a dozen baby plants, unless, as
stated, he has d place off to itself
where he can allow the latter to ma
ture.
The newcomer. however. most often
wants results quick, so the older his
bushes the better all around. At that,
he should not expect real results
under two years in the new location.
X x X
To bring the blush of health to your
children's cheeks you have to feed
the little ones properly. as every par
ent knows.
The rose children. too, require food,
and plenty of 1t. if you want the blush
of beauty to mount into their soft
petals.
Yet how many would-be rose grow.
ers stick d bush into the ground and
forget about it, fully expecting it to
blossom as the rose"
Feed the brutes--that is the third
commandment of rose growing.
The fourth IS to spray them when
required. The first, and often the only,
attention they need along this line is
a 40 per cent solution of nicotine,
which dries up the aphids or lice.
Black spot. DOwdery mildew, rose
beetles, thrips and other pests and dis
eases do not attack rosebushes half
as much az many of the articles on
roses would lead one to believe.
Buy, at first. the standard roses nor
mally easy to grow, and take care of
them properly. and you will be de-
lighted with the results.
This is the fifth commandment
After you have succeeded with the
easy ones you can so in for the other
varieties to your hearts content.
We could double this list of com
mandments without half trying. but
the five given are fundamental. They
are so basic. in fact. that many of you
reading here may say:
"PshaW, who doesn't know that
Too many poor rosebushes. how
ever. show that too many amateurs
either do not know these five rules
or, knowing them. do not put them
into practice.
