HOT E|ST|GUFFS
PREDICTED

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The scrap
between Ace Hudkins, rough, un-
tutored son Of the prairies, and
Rene De Vos, the cultured Belgian,
at Madison Square Garden tomor-
row night, is going to be fight
and we don't mean maybe. Hudkins
is like that little prairie flower
he's growing wilder every hour.
He's been wild for three weeks
because the Belgian bearcat had to
ask for an adjournment of their
little controversy and thus did Ace
out OF his Christmas vacation with
the folks at Lincoln, Neb.
Mr. De VOS, who speaks five
languages, not including pro-
fame, acquired millionaire man
ager and a boil on the back Of
his neck at the same time and
was forced to ask for time
out to settle with the berl. HIS
new manager, Anthony i.
Drexel-Biddle, ir., is still on
the job, but the berl has passed
to that bourne from which no
berl ever returns.
Mr.. Biddle-"Tony," IL you know
him--is sure De Vos is going. to tie
several bowknots in the tail of the
Nebraska wildcat tomorrow eve-
ming, but win, lose or draw, Tony
Is going to sling party for Rene
at the st. Regis after the battle.
De Vos and Hudkins are ex-
ponents of two widely contrasting
middleweight styles and the winner
hoped to get title shot at Mickey
Walker IL that is being done this
| winter. Hudkins already has an
offer to meet Walker in California
in a 10.round fight. but he prefers
New York and Is rounds.

boy to work his way up from th,
bottom. And Mr.. Rockefeller adds
Il have sometimes regretted that
did not have that sort of a chance
and | have coveted it for my bows.
Bringing up children is one OF
the things to which the younger Mr.
Rockefeller has given a great deal
of thought and attention. He sums
up his conclusions on the matter in
the current issue of The American
Magazine as follows:
The essence of the problem, it
seems to mei is this: that the will
of the parents should not be arbi-
trarily imposed upon the child. I'm
til the age of eight or ten, it is i'm
possible to discuss the reason for
many things, but after that paren-
tai guidance can increasingly take
the form of discussion and sugges-
tion.
children should be helped to
form the habit of doing things for
themselves-things that need to be
done-whether they like to do them
or not. think that many children
OF today are not developing the will
power and self-mastery that are es-
sential to the solution of life's
problems.
MY father had to chop wood and
do the milking. He probably didn't
like doing the chores any better
than most boys, but he acquired the
habit of doing the things he did
not like to do. His will was trained
and it helped him to cope wifh
other difficulties"
John D. Jr. has applied these
principles in bringing up his own
children. To teach them the funda- |
nentals of economics, he gave them
ZACH an allowance of thirty cents a
week when they were seven or
light years old The understand
ng was that they were to save ard
o give as well as spend And he
made them keep their own ac-
cunts, which he audited weekly. A

MANY new HIGHWAY
PROJECTS COMPLETED
Fine New Concrete Roads Have
Been Constructed In Kent
County This Year.

All of the new road projects
started in Kent county by the State
Highway Department during the
summer are practically completed,
ior will be completed within the
next few days.
There have been five new concrete
roads constructed by the depart
ment in Kent county this year. One
of the projects was started before
cold weather set in last year and
necessarily had to be delayed until
last spring.
The new road from Leipsic to Lit
tie Creek has been completed and is
open to travel. The excavation work
for this road was begun last fall.
The new road from Sandtown to
Sipple's store is also completed and
open to traffic. Both of these roads
are ninefoot projects.
The concrete work on the road
from Wyoming to Hazlettville is
p completed but the work on the
shoulders will require a few more
days to complete. This road also |
is open to traffic.
The one project that may not be |
completed this year is the nine-foot |
road from Frederica to Laws School
House. All of the concrete work on
this road is completed, but there re-
mains a large amount of work yet
on the shoulders, which may not
be completed until next spring.
AS the concrete work on all con-
tracts let have been completed, no
more projects will be started this
year.
The contractor for the Slaughter
Beach Road, east of Milford, in
Sussex county, is now working on
the shoulders. The concrete road

Our Common Birds

Insects yearly cause loss of up
wards of many millions of dollars
to the agricultural interests of the
United States.
Were it not for our birds the loss
would be very much greater, and
indeed it is believed that without
the aid of our feathered friends sue
cessful agriculture would be impos-
sible.
The crow is mischievous in
spring and sorely taxes the farm
er's patience and ingenuity to pre-
vent him from pulling up the new
ly planted corn. Moreover, the
crow destroys the eggs and young
of useful insectivOurous and game
birds; but, on the other hand, he
eats many insects, especially white
grubs and cut-wOrms, and destroys
many meadow mice, so that in much
(although not all { of the region he
the crow must be consider
ed to be more useful than harmful
Most of the hawks and owls even
birds that have received so bad a
name that the farmers boy and the |
sportsmen are ever on the alert to |
kill them-are very useful because !
hey destroy vast number of rod
ents.
An unusual abundance of grass
lOppers, for instance, in a given 10
,ality soon attracts the birds from
wide area, and as rule their Wis
is cease only when there are no
left. So also a mark
d increase in the number of small ,
odents in a given neighborhood
peedily attracts the attention OF
awks and owls, which, by reason
+ their voracious appetites, sooa
roduce marked diminution of the
foe.

In the Stock Market
(Bv Thomson 81 McKinnon,

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-These
days you read a good deal about
economics and what the market
should do and has not done accord
ing to well-established laws. Ac-
cording to theory the market has
been a sort of an outlaw for a
couple of years. We recommend
that the scholarly theorists give a
little more time to the business
items in the newspapers and inter-
pref these from a human rather
than an economic standpoint. For
instance, in Saturdays paper we
read of a twelve-story building cost
ing 100000 and only nine years
old, to be wrecked and replaced by
a thirty-four story building which
we assume will cost about ten times
the old one. This may not be
strictly according to economic law
but it is the story of the United
States, the story of the public con-
fdence, the story of the greatest
market in history. The one weak
spot, and the one that will cause
trouble, if trouble follows, is the
tendency to overSpeculate. We be-
, lieve if each individual will do his
part in keeping pyramids down all
will be we'll. If you have a single
! share that is likely to give you
Z discomfort, sell it.
