"KID BROAD" CONES SACK

Back in the first decade of this century, when box
ing priZefighting and prizeflghters were thugs
or supposed to be, there pretty fair scrapper
known as Kid Broad He never reached the champion
ship stage but drawing card despite that fact,
for he always put up fight.
That before the day of the present fabulous
purses and Kid Broad may have accumulated some
money, but undoubtedly it nothing like Mr. Demp-
sey has made from his two-fisted prowess
Kid Broad dropped from sight an active puglllst
around 1910 With the exception of his friends posi-
bly, few heard anything of him. Certainly he was
lost to the greater part Of the nation.
Now Kid Broad has staged comeback, only this
time he is Mr. Fred Broad known the striking coal
miners around Pittsburgh Santa Claus" The lat
ter title is his by of the aid he has given the
families of striking miners, who might have perished
but for his generosity He has paid their rent bought
food and clothing supplied them with furniture, aided
the sick and helped bury the dead.
Mr.. Fred Broad has done it out of his own pocket,
without being asked and asking nothing in return And
the odd thing about it, to those who relish out
Jokes, is that Mr.. Broads interest in miners was in
spired by the death Of his mother-in-laW who
killed during strike disorder number of years ago.
1t is to her memory that he has dedicated his
osity-he refuses to call it charity.
After leaving the prize ring kid Broad went in
to real estate and propered but his prosperity did not
effect his head his heart in the way that it does
good many who have enjoyed what might be consd-
cred better foundation for success than the prize
ring.
Off-handedly we would say kid Broad" is little
bit of all right.

WE ARE A CITY

If figures compiled by the Newspaper Feature Bur
eau are correct and there is little to doubt
that they are approximately so, Ell Centros leading
feminine organization must needs look for new
name.
The figures referred to give Ell Centro's population
as 11,474 and the name of the L. F. 0. is the Ten
Thousand Club Back in the days of El Centros
infancy, the good women of the community took up
organization abandoned by the menfolks and dis
regarding the scoffers who laughed at objective
OF 10000 population, carried on. Those pioneer
women who still affiliated with he club
take the last laugh, and patronizngly
say to the menfolks. Il told you So
Whether not the club decides to change its name,
matters but little 1t will continue to perform its good
work and lead the way it has in the past, whether
it be known as the Ten Thousand Club, the Twenty
Thousand Club, or the Queen of Clubs. More power
to it.
The point is that Ell Centre can consider itself
real city, past the growing up stage and entering into
maturity The first ten thousand is the hardest the
indications that will not take long to reach the
10000 mark
1t certainly would not take long if all of US could
acquire the same faith in El Centro exhibit the same
pride in its progress and display the loyalty to
1t that those pioneer women Of some twenty odd years
ago had.
Criticizng Ell Centre will not hasten the 10000
mark. Not that do not merit criticism, for do.
But constructive criticism is what we want not the
knocking" kind that seeks to tear down instead of
building up. We should be united every movement
that has for its objective the progress and growth of
El Certro.
There has been a noticeable tendency in the past
two years TO build permanent homes in Ell Centric 1t
is splendid beginning and should be fostered in every
way. Hand in hand with this should go efforts to
improve the appearance of the city, in the business
ton and in the residential districts.
The pioneer women of the city hoped to have beau
tiful lawns trees and flowers about every Ell Centre
home. We have fallen somewhat amss in this
spect There is still for great deal of improve
ment To carry out this ideal means considerable
work and expense but the result is worth both
We hope that the will get behind this idea
and push it through to successful accomplishment
And right here may say that if they do not, moth
inc will will be done about it, for of the so-called
stronger just too blamed lazy to bestir
